Any tips for finding regular airplanes? The airstrips don't seem to ever have airplanes at them. I'm not buying an airplane thats going to disappear in a second.
I'm sold, the game is a winner. I haven't been playing very long but I'm already used totthe new driving physics and I think they are an improvement over gtaiv. Cars have more weight, making crashes much more realistic. The character switching does not take 30 seconds.. Just scratching the surface makes me feel this game will last as long as gtaiv or longer if it gets a second wind with the next gen consoles.
There's gonna be a sweet picture here pretty soon

Trying too hard to start a flame war...
As long as we're making things up I think that GTAV will also be an important launch title for the next generation of consoles, people disappointed with the game on 360 will be enticed by it being better on the new console.
Those bumpers have saved my car from the junkyard on more than one occasion! I think they look original, like the rest of the car which is really cool.
Just take the bumpers off that way you can pay thousands for body repair and paint if you bump something instead of going to the junkyard for $50. <-- Logic for people who drive plastic cars.
We are currently living in the end game of big government politics. The left has their endless welfare system and universal healthcare is at hand for them. The right has their endless wars and limitless military spending. The parties seem to be out of ideas because they already have everything they wanted from us; absolute dependency with zero accountability. Notice the bills in congress that are purely symbolic. The days of policy-making are over, the policy is already in place. It's not for us that new laws are passed, only against us as people realize that the government has no idea where our money is going or why.
No one is working to catch fraud in the system in a meaningful way. Hopefully that can change before people take the matter into their own hands. A tax revolt would be far more effective. If people got to keep their money instead of throwing it into the gov. cesspool, I think they would find more profitable investments than social security disability for people with "emotional problems" or housing for 'refugees'. The idea that people don't know what best to do with the resources they earn is anti-human.
Klutch if you were 'hooning' in an industrial park at 3am and you hit a wall, would you stick around and find out who owns the warehouse that now has a dent/hole in the side?
If "good, great, lovely immigrants" (just use the right adjectives) with no money and no skills can come to your country and draw benefits than it must not be too difficult. If a Sudanese man who can't read english can understand enough to get his second or third wife plus children from each on the taxpayer dole, than it really is that easy. If irresponsible behavior is tolerated by responsible people, then no one is doing anything to prevent fraud, and in fact I would say welfare fraud is one of the most rewarding forms of theft compared to the low risk of punishment or jail.
The welfare state will barely function for another two decades without widespread fraud. Do you think it is a coincidence that when jobs are scarce or the economy turns south suddenly there are millions upon millions more "disabled" people? There are more people drawing social security disability in the US than there are entire populations of European countries. I call BS.
I just got an idea for an awesome App: Your phone can access a database of people who receive taxpayer money in any form. Using the App you can report people who you find to be defrauding the system. If they are, then they have to pay back all of the money they have been given by the taxpayers, but the person who reported them with the App gets 5% (for example) of that money as a reward for hunting down waste. Recently a US doctor was found to have embezzled 35 MILLION dollars from medicare by providing false cancer diagnoses for bribes and performing chemotherapy on healthy people. 5% of that sounds like a nice payday to me!

pretty cool, I like the classics.
I can't think of an english phrase you might find in a simple guidebook that is totally irregular or is a grammar exception. My english pet peeve is people who try to sound smarter or more formal by using the conditional 'had'. I'm sure this confuses foreign language speakers to no end. Daytime legal mediation shows are particularly prone to this.
"I had gone to the bank, but by the time I had gotten there, they had closed"
"I had had a bad day already, but this bank business has had me wasting gas too!"
I also speak spanish, but it is difficult to be understood because some people I speak to can't agree on which noun to use for common objects, if they don't decide to just make one up. I count at least three words for "lock" and they usually make up a noun for "storage unit" since it is a somewhat new concept.

If anything you said was in context you would be more quotable
try playing LFS with a 360 controller and you can see why the steering is not linear when using a pad. Imagine going full lock in less than a tenth of a second at 150MPH. You can't do it in a real car, are you asking for that feature in GT6?
I would state this differently. First, all of the material success enjoyed around the world is 'caused by' capitalism. The only way that humans have advanced technologically is because of capitalism, there is no other way that has provided as much comfort for the highest number of people today. What you see as nihilism is called personal responsibility by conservatives, making educated and logical choices designed to ensure personal comfort for oneself and future generations of the family. Rich people educate their children and provide them the mental faculties to make the same logical decisions that created the family's wealth in the first place. Being poor and uneducated and choosing to create children is a horribly selfish decision that affects so many more people than just one family. When a child is simply a larger welfare paycheck or an excuse not to work, who cares if the child is in school or out at 2AM on a Thursday? Extraneous, unloved children will destroy our society very quickly and efficiently, which must be someone's goal or it wouldn't happen that we give more welfare money to people who make the worst decisions. I don't have any sympathy for intentional suffering; that doesn't make me a nihilist.
Someone who is poor and stupid, but went to the same school, same classes with someone who became rich can't complain a whole lot about their circumstances. I'm not a doctor or an engineer because I didn't get A's in school. I don't expect to live the lifestyle of someone who has achieved more than me in their lifetime. I am quite happy with how my life is going at this point. I know that I cannot afford to support a child, but I can afford condoms and I use them every time. That is a decision I make because the opposite choice is hurtful to everyone in my life, not to mention millions of people who don't deserve to pay for stupidity. At some point there will be more money handed out by the welfare system as reward for poor life choices than working people can afford to give. What happens then?
In my mind, the welfare system greatly rewards poor decisions, (not going to school, having children knowing they will not be fully supported emotionally and financially, refusing to perform the labor expected of someone without a basic education...etc.) The system also greatly punishes responsible people who make good decisions, because they are the only ones who are expected to pay for others' mistakes. Why would I continue to work knowing that there are men my age out there who have fathered 5 children already and yet exists on taxpayer money? What benefit do I get by making it possible for a person like that to continue to have more children? I contest that the welfare system benefits no able-bodied person in the country who could not see greater benefits by working hard and accepting responsibility for their own decisions.

I really liked that they made the weapon switch like Red Dead. It's very intuitive to switch to a type of weapon and then a weapon in that type quickly, almost without looking after you're used to it. In RDR I was switching from the rifle to any other kind of weapon in much less than one second. Fluidity is something GTA games have always lacked, but other rockstar games have accomplished.
LA Noire kinda sucked at everything but we'll give them a pass for going out on a limb.

Rappa i thought that gif was showing fully simulated passive racism until I zoomed in 
I think we can agree that the physics have improved greatly!
The driving physics looked exactly like tbogt to me, paired with a really good driver.

There may only be two parties in the US, but its not like they never change. I think Republicans know their days are numbered if they continue to try to legislate social issues. They need to become libertarians or they will fail the people who strongly believe in their economic policies, but can't stand them making fools of themselves on issues that affect only a miniscule minority (>2% of the population is homosexual). Not to mention that Republicans like to poke their big missile dicks all over the world instead of eliminating all foreign aid and pulling out of the WMF, EU, NATO, etc. and letting nations succeed or fail by their own means. Maybe if Europe had to completely fund their own anti-ballistic missile shield they wouldn't be so smug about how much we spend on the military comparitively.
Democrats have not yet faced the fact that their social programs create generations of people who have no mental or social faculties to live outside of the government dole. The uneducated are owned by the government as much as they are a manufactured product of policies and institutions designed to breed a voting base who can never turn away from them. No country except the US could afford to keep this up as long as we have. Even Sweden is starting to see the negative effects social welfare in that there is simply no difference between working and not working except...the amount of work you have to do. We live in a welfare state where a family making no money gets paid thousands more every month each time they spawn a baby, which of course is as often as possible for as long as possible. There is no punishment for this atrocious behavior, only rewards from these policies that prolong poverty forever. Children who grew up in a family that purposefully couldn't support itself are supposed to grow up to know how to support a family? Where is the logic?
I would love to see more Libertarians in government, even if they call themselves Republicans. They understand that success or failure in life depends entirely on one person, yourself. If you are a likeable person your community will want to help you succeed, if you are unlikeable people will never want to do business with you. If living day to day required working hard and being an honorable and trustworthy person, a lot of people now wouldn't be able to cope if no one cared about what kind of treatment they think they are entitled to. I would support a political party that did away with all forms of welfare, tax breaks, or subsidies. It's no coincidence that when the remaining jobs in a poor economy require you to work or have a skill in four years the ranks of the 'disabled' increase to be larger than the populations of entire countries in Europe. It cannot go on, and the current sociopolitical climate is exactly the opposite of what it was when we were almost miraculously high-achieving as a nation.
tldr; voting for an independent is a waste of a vote, work instead to improve the party that most closely matches your views.

I saw one of these cars, a new Fiesta imported from Mexico.
For some reason Ford in the US refuses to make certain types of cars available here despite their success globally. They won't sell a 2-door Focus or Fiesta, and they won't make a station wagon. Personally, I think US auto companies are in agreement not to sell wagons as people may realize they don't need an 8 foot tall SUV that weighs 3900lbs for their one child. Chevrolet is the last US maker with a wagon anywhere in their line up with the CTS wagon, but they like to tease us with practical and efficient models we'll never have:

Pretty big difference between peacefully promoting a constitutional federation, personal liberty and responsibility and killing or maiming many thousands of young women with acid, preventing them from access to education, and having a stanglehold of fear and death on the everyday lives of citizens with no freedoms whatsoever. The Tea Party has never murdered entire swaths of the population for their God or to advance their political power...nor have they called for the death of the President. They are completely benign, mostly old middle class white people.
Of course the media and politicians would like you to believe these people are the next terrorist threat, or even more of a threat to your life than the Taliban who regularly kill people as an everyday part of their operations.

Good website, thanks for the tip I think I found exactly what I wanted!
I recently finished PlanetES if anyone knows what that is I'm looking for anime along the same lines: hard science fiction set in space in the near future. Any suggestions?
