Casinos - dead and gone w/ new policy?

Is that skill or chance?

So can American burglars, it's a big myth that you can do anything you like to defend your property in the states, people have been prosecuted for it.

(nevermind)

I KNOW!!!! It drives me TOTALLY FREAKING NUTS!!! Like, last night, I was in the grocery store... There were at least 40 of us there, and the lag was so bad that I could barely move....



.

Right so the bottom line seems to be that the result of a gambling ban has caused a rift between America and Europe? Are we all bloody silly or what?

Can't we all sing in perfect harmony?

Ooh I've gone all seventies!

I would like to take a moment on this very popular thread to say spam ad barons and rotating ad plots are hideous and lower land values and the visual enjoyment of every resident and I hope they are both banned someday. *Now back to the regularly scheduled poo flinging.

I smell a lawsuit coming on, I'll be discussing this with my attorney.

Speaking of regularly scheduled... It strikes me as kind of funny that the forums were quiet for the last few days before this announcement. Now they are busy as heck


.

Depends on the post. A great many here haven't involved much in the way of skill.....

Last post huzzah!~

Do you have a blog or other platform where you can post the evolution of this? I find the myriad "I'm gonna sue" threads infinitely interesting, and this one in particular.

yea ...
all that lag at the grocery store was becos of lag at the checkout,
due to all those immigrants holding up the line, purchasing their
groceries with money chits issued to them by their government
to leave their country ... and by those on relief paying
with food stamps!



lag is lag ... or is it the other way around?

The following was said in relation to Iraq.... "Because Zimbabwe and China don't have dangerous, fanatical bomb hugging citizens blowing up twin towers and in the process killing thousands of innocent people."

That's the funny part... Americans seem to think that it was the Iraqis that blew up the twin towers.

From a Canadian viewpoint, I see a lot of ignorant flag-blinded Americans... but I also see a lot of self-righteous Europeans.

I say we stop all the mudslinging and "My Dad is bigger than your dad" and start a raffle for topless Sarah Nerd pics. It's obviosuly gambling but it's for a good cause, honest!

From the very first paragraph of the Terms of Service, which surely you have read:

"Linden Lab may amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion, effective upon posting the amended Agreement at the domain or subdomains of http://secondlife.com where the prior version of this Agreement was posted, or by communicating these changes through any written contact method we have established with you."

For what it's worth, the login splash contains links to every important announcement made on the blog. The login spash is right in front of every single resident at the point of login. What more could you possibly expect Linden Lab to do to communicate policy changes or other important announcements? Call you on your cell?

Ohh im pretty much left wing

I just think the current fervent anti-americanism is really ignorant of historical perspective.

hate all imperialism - fine, Ill agree.

Call America unjust becuase of Iraq?

Compared to what? Brittain and India? Belgium and the Congo? France and Vietnam? Germany and 2 world wars .. etc .. etc ..etc..

All I am trying to say is people arent taking a step back and looking at how things have evolved through history.

Id support the elimination of all imperialism and interferance doctrines. I just dont think the Europeans, who were the worst offenders, get to have the moral high ground on all this.

And im not really suggesting you are this way.

Im more concerned with the general attitude - which crops up in any message board that has an international audience.

You were there?!?!?!?!

Saddam Hussein, contrary to the myth perpetuated by this administration, had nothing to do with 9/11. Osama bin Laden detested him. The current Al Qaida presence in Iraq is due entirely to the American presence there. However they are only a tiny part of the total insurgency (and mostly made up of Saudis). The vast majority of insurgents are Iraqis who also don't want us there.

If the US should pull out of Iraq, it will unquestionably become bloodier. However, even shown by recently released Pentagon forcasts, Al Qaida will be the first driven out--the insurgents don't want them there any more than they want the American military there. Ultimately, Iraq will go the way of Yugoslavia, with the Sunnis, Shi'a, and Kurds splitting off and starting their own countries.


Also, to answer Green's post, I am indeed an American, and frankly, consider myself more patriotic by opposing the war than those who blindly believe everything the administration tells them.

yes, www.js-casino.com... site has laid dormant for a bit but i'll post legal news there

I kind of think that no matter what America does at this point - we will be blamed for however it turns out.

Leave and an unstable government comes out of it - its America's fault for not staying.

Stay and people die, even if a stable government forms. - America is high handed and blood thirsty.

It was a no-win situtation becuase theres no way to control the populace without stamping out all resistance - which is not done in today's world.

Look at Pakistan. Its a military dictatorship and they cant even maintain true stability in their own country.

AL Queda and its relatives will always be a problem as long as America is seen to support the Saudi Kingdom in Arabia and the existance of Isreal.

Of course if we stood asside and either of those governments fell - we'd get the blame for that too.

We really got ourselves into a mess. And it started a long time before 9/11.

Yes we live in a relative save civilised society. It happens less often that someone runs amok and shoot whole school-classes. Even in poorer urban areas you need no bulletproved waistcoat.

Its OK to treat nazis as what they are: criminals.

Paying less than 30$ per month for TV: I love it to watch a film without any commercial break. 40 TV stations from theater channel to sports, news, entertainment, EDUCATION.... not a bad price. And if you are poor or just unemployed you pay nothing at all.

I dont want to argue about the pros and cons of our societies. In general I am absolut pro US. I just hope that this time your elections will not be manipulated again. Eventually the esteem for the US in the rest of the world and the exchange rate for the $ will rise again.

IMHO there is a natural alliance between the new and the old world… and the European instincts are to stand shoulder to shoulder with it, despite the current administration… the problem was the tone … we hate to be preached at… that’s all. There isn’t any anti-Americanism here, only a deep dislike of those elected, and of the elephant in the china shop diplomacy they favor. You don’t tell your allies “who isn’t with us is agonist us”. IMHO Iraq was a misadventure however one sugar coats it. The place is broken and cannot be put back together again…. And worse of all, it put Iran on the map; it transformed it from a backward unimportant player into a regional power broker. But, better times are ahead under President Hillary Clinton.

I am somewhat more optimistic. What is needed is an administration that is committed to diplomacy and is willing to listen to opinions it may disagree with. Hopefully such an administration will come to power in January '09.

theres nothing like the idea of having a future president
who on the one hand said they were against the war in Iraq,
but who supported and voted for Bush's phony war on Iraq anyway ...

it certainly does look good on her resume that she supported
our Commander in Chief .... if nothing else

gotta really trust that lady, huh?
