Twice would be a little nuts, but a speed increase sounds like a good idea.

What face do we have to lose?
And to the hippie comment by meyer: I highly doubt that the 2/3 of American citizens against the war are ALL hippies.

Regardless, we're responsible to some degree.

We haven't been invaded by aliens so apparently SETA must be working, right?
You can't make a reasonable correlation between us not getting attacked, and us invading Iraq.

Jesus, its apparently working isnt it?
And i know what Saddam did because he was executed for it
And stop accussing me for what America did, i had nothing to do with it, im not saying Bush went there for the Iraqi people, he went there for the US of A and im fine with that

I'm reminding everyone that the US has not been #1 ever since 1776.

There are so many that volunteer and Iraq wasn't a threat, now many are disillusioned, several thousand are dead or injured, and many more are tired and over-worked!

Lol, we're not rooting for the opposing side. I want our troops home from Iraq, we're putting their dedication to waste. I hate to say it but George Bush is putting our resources and to waste while loosing the support of the world.
You would criticize Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife, but not George Bush for getting us into a war without a victory plan?

And the right is any different?
You just see us as whining because it's not your point of view, I'm sure you'd see your complaints of Obama, Edwards, or Hillary as perfectly reasonable.

In what position are you to tell me or other people against the wars what they would think? There are so many people that said NO before each war but for the most part people didn't care enough to really speak out.
Do any of you think American will fall from it's position as #1, or do you guys really think that the US will stay the most powerful nation in the world indefinitely?

We should have helped vietnam be a democratic nation when they asked for our help against the French, not let it fall to the soviets. The vietnam war was also something we should not have done. We supported a dictatorship against another one, the only thing in it for us was the guy we were helping was for a free market, not communism.
We also should not have gone into Iraq. Period, frankly Iraq wasn't a problem after the first gulf war and the time Clinton bombed it.
Sorry, just defending the accusation, now back on topic.

Within this century, maybe even next 50 years.
It won't crumble, it will just be reduced to France, England, or Germany status.

The Lounge / Tutorial: Signature "Bloom" Effect
« on: August 29, 2007, 07:31:21 PM »
Now, I've been asked several times how I achieve the "bloom" effect I use in my signatures.
Since It's not really a secret or a really hard method, I'm going to show you how to do it:
Step 1) Get a picture of course, I'm going to use this sexy picture of Darth Vader for this tutorial:
Step 2) Copy the layer and d-saturate the new layer. (Ctrl+shift+u)
Step 3) Now, use a gaussian blur. I usually go with 3 for smaller pictures, 5 for slightly larger and 10 for desktops or other large pictures, any more and the effect is not so effective. For this picture, I went with 8 since it was in between.
Step 4) Once you do that either auto level it or adjust the levels/brightness contrast yourself. If you want a more exagerated effect, up the contrast a lot. For this example I only used auto levels.
Step 5) Usually the last step, set the layer to Overlay instead of normal in the blending options and voila!

Yes, I do...
"As of the end of 2006, the total U.S. federal public debt was $4.9 trillion. This does not include the money owed by states, corporations, or individuals, nor does it include the money owed to Social Security beneficiaries in the future. If intragovernment debt obligations are included, the debt figure rises to $8.7 trillion. If unfunded future obligations are added (i.e. Medicare and Social Security) this figure rises dramatically to a total of $59.1 Trillion [1]. In 2005 the public debt was 64.7% of GDP. According to the CIA's World Factbook, this meant that the U.S. public debt was the 35th largest in the world by percentage of GDP.[2] [3]"
Now, tell me where we have $8.7 trillion sitting around.
