  1. WWII areas as seen today... and some others...

  4. I guess that when I was replying to "controversial" being the modus operandi of Fox News you felt the need to equate "from [the] beloved" with "from YOUR beloved". It's nice to see you filling in the blanks for me however incorrectly. No. Wrong. Again. The worry is not that some people are racists and shouldn't hold certain jobs. The worry is that gun advocates response to massacres in schools is that a "responsible" person with a gun could have stopped it. I'm just saying that as long as people have a hard time distinguishing a movie from real-life then the last thing you should want is more people with guns in public places because it might actually increase the frequency of gun related incidents but on a smaller scale. It's like trading one potential tragedy for another. Wait, didn't you say that you wanted law enforcement on the scene? So why would they need to arrive? Shouldn't the presence of the... well, at least 2 because of breaks, at least 2 more so that the whole area can be covered, so say you have 4 *SENIOR* cops (because the rookies would be on the beats and the veterans would love nothing but to have a babysitting assignment) in each school? That should be enough to not need more no? Oh wait, how many schools are there? Don't know but that private security contracting is probably might attractive to politicians if every school needed to be protected. LOL, I'm appreciating the irony here. @Zorbanos The link is, and it's been since my OP, that the decision to put more guns into play in public areas requires the presence of responsible and highly aware individuals. This article just reminded me how rare that can be.
  5. To get your console background, you'll need to put the .vtf file into DoD>Custom>GriswoldsCustom (or whatever you want to name it)>Materials>Console At least that's where insane's HUD mod installed it. Hope that helps.
  6. Started with Feaster's "sale of iginla to Pittsburgh. He's moving most of his important pieces and kipper could very well be next (but does TO *really* need kipper?) And Buffalo could easily follow suit tomorrow (with Vanek and Pommer up on deck after Regher, maybe Miller too?). At least the NHL trade deadline is going to be a lot more interesting that the NBA's this year.
  7. @Richards Really? Did you actually read what I said or did you just assume that it because it wasn't pro-gun that I'm sort of bleeding heart liberal with some agenda to rob you of your constitutional rights? My main point is that however well-trained any person might be with the use of firearms, if the spirit of the person is broken, that's just a powder keg waiting to explode. While I can't be sure that many security firms process their potential employees with psych evals, I don't think it would be a stretch to say that people with anger/control issues would apply for positions that give them some sort of outlet for those deficiencies. The proposal of having people with guns "protecting" sensitive areas just doesn't seem like a good proposal when you can't guarantee the state of mind of those you're going to ask to be responsible for that protection. And as for police presence, Montreal has been subject to a number of police brutality issues (many racially motivated). People here mobilize to protest against it. I might recall seeing news about certain states still labouring under those same issues. So assuming you're talking about every sensitive area with police, the pure logistics makes it just more likely for those few bad apples to fall through in a way to fast-track hiring/training procedures to fill the often over-worked law enforcement agencies. And who do you think they would more likely put into those assignments? The rookies most likely and increasing the chance of those recently graduated bad apples to be put into potentially volatile situations. However, Richards, if you actually look further, you'll note that I'm talking about Americans influenced by a MOVIE to make comments that link violence (do you need me to go back and quote you some of those twitter comments?) with bigotry. And if THAT doesn't scare you about the mindset of people who MIGHT one day be armed in a legally mandated manner to oversee security in PUBLIC PLACES, then it's highly doubtful that ANY kind constructive suggestion would actually influence your opinion. As for media only reporting the controversial, controversial would more along the lines of Senators saying things like, oh just off the top of my head, "legitimate rape". I'd like to think that publicly voicing imaginary acts of violence towards a particular demographic from a movie plot would be more along the lines of "should not be tolerated" and fairly newsworthy. But then again, who am I, this "average moron", to know differently from beloved Fox News. I'd have to say that I totally agree when you mention that common sense is surprisingly not that common these days. @All Not really sure how having a twitter account is a direct corollary to stupidity or what not. But it's not as if it's just a case of saying something for the sake of saying something stupid. People saying this kind of stuff have to, somewhere, honestly believe they are in the right. That's scary for me. @Lopez Sad but so true. @Kanganis Don't worry. Gooderham was communicating something specific to someone(s) specific. And that someone(s) wasn't you.
  8. This is the average American (give or take a few deficiencies in actually real-world empathy) that could plausibly apply for jobs as security guards in the public places that pro-gun people would want to see protected by armed individuals...? If a movie can make even a small sample of Americans react this way, how can the idea of increasing the presence of guns in public places be, in any possible way, be a good thing? I would think that people would be scared shitless to know that, at any given place where anyone arguing "if they had people at guns at those schools, those tragedies could have been averted" would want them, if they weren't white, middle-to-upper class looking, and didn't act in ridiculous leap-of-logic interpretation of "shady", that they could easily be the target of one of those aforementioned testosterone-driven goombas. While I understand that Americans find it's constitutional right to own guns, doesn't it at least beg the requirement to have any pro-gun advocate display the minimal ability to distinguish between the imaginary and the factual? Sigh. The worst of it all is that these people likely have no mental deficiency, are not in destitute social-economic situations, or have any history of abuse. Instead, most of these folks would probably figure as average white middle-america for demographic considerations. Scary indeed. Here's the original story.
  9. Stone, INSANE's HUD still works if you extract to "dod/custom/StoneCustom" (or whatever you called your personal custom folder). You should have the following subfolders in your StoneCustom: materials resource scripts sound
  10. Name: CK [<O>] ' killer1 [Terra] Steam I.D: STEAM_0:0:15087428 Reasons for the Ban: Incorrectly banned player for mix-up in admin communications. Recommended duration of ban: Demo Provided?: Y/N

  13. Lots of different possibilities. 1) Iggy held feasters balls in a vice-like grip so feaster gets roasted for the shittiest deal he's done since becoming GM of the Flames. 2) Feaster just happens to be the 2nd coming of Mike Millbury. 3) Feaster, getting what he could, did a classy thing to send Iggy to the team with the best chance to give him a cup on the understanding that Iggy re-signs with the flames to end his career in calgary. 4) Feaster just happens to be the 2nd coming of Matt Millen. And brown, that was so classic last night. It was totally like a playoff win with the Rask fall being icing on the cake.
  14. Just to confirm that the perm request is NOT linked to use of racial slurs. This update is linked to the fact that this player is currently VAC BANNED for one or more games.
  15. Name: Saddam Hussein Steam I.D: STEAM_0:0:10835141 Reasons for the Ban: Use of unacceptable language as well as general server disruption Recommended duration of ban: Originally banned for 1 week - update to Perm ban Demo Provided?: Player has been VAC banned.
  16. And this man decided to this wants to be the first Apostle?
  17. Whatever ties China had with N Korea was largely because of Kim Jong-Il and Kim Il-Sung II. Maybe China doesn't feel it can trust Kim Jong-Un anymore...
  18. Name: Dust Steam I.D: STEAM_0:1:35010035 Duration of Ban: 1 week Reasons for the Ban: Use of racial slur Demo Provided?: n/a Comments: Was warned in-game. Tried to push issue was warned again and before map change, used racial slur as parting comment.
  19. You gotta figure something's going on in Edmonton. 3 consecutive 1st overall picks (plus a bonafide stud 1st rounder), a potential top 5 D signing during the offseason and they're still out of playoff contention. Is it the coaching? Is it Sit-On-My-Thumballini? Is it the 3 1st overall picks + 1st round stud (eberle)? Is it the lack of depth from plethora of overpaid veterans? Is it the goaltending? Is it the porous defense? Also, this might be the year that all 3 canadian teams in the East make the playoffs since 2003-2004. Parker, I stand corrected, I do think that TO has a more than fair chance to make it to the show this year. And if it wasn't for the ridiculous situation in ottawa (I don't think that I've seen a team lose their top 3 players to long-term injuries they the sens have this year) the sens could have been in 1st place in the entire conference. The toughest div in all of hockey this year (if it weren't for div leader asterix, the NE would have 4 teams in the top 5 of the eastern conference!). DAYYYUM!
  20. Hehe, you read that Puck Daddy article as well I see. But you meant the Flames, not Colorado, for the waiver priority right? WHEN, not if, Cgy would have lost that RO to a waiver AND all those draft picks... HAHAHA that would have been a glorious (and some GM would probably have lost their job on the spot for that that gaff)
  21. Hey Parker, guess who just got a bunch of vouchers for free chicken wings at Cage Aux Sports? Oh YEAH! Thanks Toronto for pulling your goalie at 2:30 mark! I'll make sure to enjoy those free wings!
  22. Update: So I was able to fix the registry so that the path went back to my old profile. However, that was AFTER I deleted STEAM (which also deleted every other file in the steam folder). So now, just re-installing DoDs. Good times. Hopefully I backed up my config files lol Please close this ticket. Thanks! P
  23. Hi, So back in Oct. my PSU died. I just got a new one and was able to put my PC into running order again. However, in the interim, I was using my HD through my laptop and it did some funky things to it something about locked access to the information on the HD. I got it to read the info my on laptiop but now that I've restored my PC, my HD is acting as if it's the first time that it's being accessed. The question I'd like to know is if there's a way to restore all the information on my HD so that it behaves as it did before I made into a "slave" on my laptop? Oh, and does this mean I might have to reinstall all the programs? And also when I try to run Steam it gives me this info: Steam Client Bootstrapper (buildbot_winslave04_steam_st has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. So, I guess the only real solution is to uninstall off the HD and reinstall? Thanks!
