Sometimes you just have to stay with the original. this helps a company maintain its tradition and history. lets face it, most woman don't picture orville red in speedos, but the popcorn is still very good and they relate the face of orville to the great product.
I've played both games all the way through, and I enjoyed both. I can easily recommend both. But I would have to give MGS4 the edge here, it is that good of a game.
So are you saying that every quote from Rush was taken out of context? As far as making comments about Obama 1) I thought Rush was an idiot/racist before Obama was elected and 2) Those comments would only make him 50% racist since Obama is only half black (ha ha).
There are many quotes put out about Limbaugh, but here are some that I found:
1. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
2. Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.
3. In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."
4. In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a 90-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
5. When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's Jeffersons when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders.
6. Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard, Limbaugh responded: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"
To someone black, you would have to prove - without doubt - that each one of these incidents are absolutely false or he is a racist plain and simple.
Prejudice is defined as an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge.
Racism is defined as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
Although I appreciate, and agree for the most part, with what you are saying, we are talking about two different things when we bring religion, sexuality, etc. into the discussion. Also, you will always have people who take advantage of government programs. Do you think those people are predominantly black?
Now, lets focus on racism. You should be furious that you lost out on jobs and your kids were denied loans. But you should be upset at racism and the people who made it a part of our every day lives. If you think affirmative action is wrong, you should be !$@#@& at the people who made it necessary. If you think about it, pointing a finger at the people who benefit from it does nothing more than continue the wrongful actions. It isn't their fault. If they could compete on truly equal ground, let the competition begin! But if we look at the situation honestly racism prevents that competition.
Can you directly address the statement you made about people voting based on the color of the candidate? I would hazard a guess and say this statement was a rarity before a black man was president. Even when Jesse Jackson ran for president. As a black man, I have a built in recognition of statements and acts that aren't in line with true equality and this tripped that sense. Although Ryan acknowledged it, I still find it sad that nobody has stepped up and said, "Hey, he is a white president too." A drop of black makes him black in America and that is wrong. Black people don't push someone away because they aren't 100% black, but it seems like whites do. Why?
Can you at least agree that our government could not afford to continue with business as usual? I don't agree with everything that Obama does and your research has obviously uncovered something that indicates you don't think he is qualified. But, maybe what we need is someone who isn't polished at manuevering around politically. Remember, I don't like everything that is going on either, but I also don't think he is an idiot like the last guy. My feelings about Bush have nothing to do with race or political parties. My feelings toward Bush have to do with my ability to recognize someone who is an idiot.
Do you think the Republicans pushed Palin on McCain (I think he was forced to accept her)to get votes based on her looks and gender? I certainly do because that is part of the way things are done in the world.
Although I wouldn't want to put together a cheerleading post for Palin that does give me an idea on something I could write. Time is currently in short supply but It is certainly overdue for a guest post on http://www.7daybuzz.com . As soon as I can I'll start jotting some stuff down.
It's obvious the vintage logo is outdated and would be nice in a antique shop but not on the grocery shelf. However, I do see the typical sexist, false reality of the super thin waste and busty chest portrayed in the new character. I'm not saying that they should make her plus sized but the waste is obviously out of proportion with reality. This continues the progress of influencing young girls into believing there is a perfect physique to reach for while much like the models gracing magazines are air brushed and exaggerated.
Electing a black president was a great moment for our country. I was very impressed with Obama until I started studying his past. I couldn't find anything in his short list of accomplishments that made me believe that he was qualified to lead our country. There have been many presidential candidates through the years that I did not vote for because I didn't like what they stood for. I am sick and tired of being called a racist for not voting for Obama and for speaking out against him. Some of the best friends I ever had were black including a girl who was my bridesmaid. I am well aware that racism exists. I have an aunt who is a racist and she will look you in the eye and say she doesn't like blacks. She makes me sick. However, racism is not limited to whites view of blacks. There are a lot of people in this country who hate the wealthy because they have more. Isn't that a type of racism? There are those who hate others because of their religion. Christians are often ridiculed for their view on abortion and morality. Gays face discrimination every day. Again, racism? My kids could not get loans for college because they are white. I lost out on great jobs because of affirmative action and putting under qualified people into jobs they can't handle does nothing more than keep them down. I did see the tears of joy and elation at the election of a black president but unfortunately some of the excitement had to do with what the government was going to do for them. I saw people proclaiming that Obama was going to pay their house payments, put gas in their car, etc... I remember one of the greatest moments in history as being John Kennedy telling us to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." We have veered so far from this thinking that I don't think we'll ever get back. We do not help people by making them dependent on government. I do not believe it is everyone's God given right to own a home, have the best health care for free, or anything else that should require hard work and diligence to obtain. I went to work with an IV bag hanging over my desk for months because I had to in order to keep my private health insurance. Teaching people that they can have all of this by just taking from those who have more is worse than racism and that's exactly what our present government is doing. How can you tell people they can accomplish great things when you make it possible for them to live a mediocre life? I think the recent elections are a sign that people are beginning to realize what's happening. I just hope it's not too late.
Ryan, can you write something for my site stating why Palin is a good candidate?
This is a problem of perspective for me. I think we, Americans, have a big problem with keeping things in perspective.
Tiger Woods is in a bind because he didn't have perspective. His money attracted beauty - about 10 of them including the one he married. Now, his money will have to be used to rebuild his image.
Look at CNN. Are you really telling me that the women on that channel are the only ones qualified to do their job?
We lose perspective because we allow beauty to sway decisions. Don't get me wrong, when I began the process of dating my wife, I liked the way she looked, but I think that is different.
I have said this before and I will say it again: Palin would not be where she is if she didn't look how she does.
I would really like to think we could look at this whole thing intelligently. Like you admitted, this wasn't an issue when other presidents were elected - nobody metioned voting and color of skin. Additionally, Obama is as much a white president as he is black. I'm glad Ryan agreed with me about how race is looked at in America. One ounce of something other than white makes a person the other. That is racist and it has no doubt her many mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.
One thing you should be sensitive to is why people turned out to vote. First of all, the same amount of people could have turned out for Jesse Jackson, but they knew he was an idiot. Secondly, there are/were people who have shed blood and lost relatives throughout their lives and finally had an opportunity to vote for someone that (half) looked like them. I'm sure it is hard to imagine, but new possibilities, hopes and dreams were realized in November 2008. Have you ever seen so many people crying tears of joy following an election? That is what racism will do. That is what hundreds of years of being told you can't do something, aren't good enough and will never do things will do. I'm naturally apprehensive, but being apprehensive about racism is something that comes natural. I don't know if I can ever say I've met someone who looked me in my eye and told me they didn't like black people, but I would be a fool if I thought I've never come across racists.
If you (not directed at anyone) think it is wrong that someone got elected because black folks turned out to vote, welcome to how it has been for blacks for hundreds of years. I would challenge anyone who has a problem with it to take action. Take action against racism. I'm talking about the racism that people want to deny, the racism people want to shun and the racism that caused things like affirmative action to be a necessity in the first place.
