I can see YOU have not done any research before making this post... they are called "STEM CELLS" not "STELL CELLS".

has given us absolutely nothing. We don't even know if it's worth it to do the research.

Yes but we will after we try, with the chances of it working this high, it should definately be worth at least funding to research it.

Response to: An Author Opinoin Posted October 10th, 2004 in Game Development

it depends on the author, if illwillpress or knox submitted it, chances are it would passwith a good score and possibly win an award. However, if an artist like T0MMY submitted it, it would pass, not neccassarily with a good score however. if artists like strawberry clock (cooboyman), or piconjo submitted it, then it would be treated as a normal submission.

At this time i find it approopriate to point out that legendary frog has had a submisssion blammed before.

Kerry originally voted for the war most likely because he was told by the president of the united states that thhere were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and a good chance of nuclear warfare.
furthermore, Bush will need more troops and probbly more funding if Kerry will, their plans for Iraq seem kind of similiar.

stevenherman,
because i do not want to go on yet another two post long rant in the same thread {see page one}, I have decided to do this in letter form, instead of dissecting and analyzing your post, and flaming you at each weakpoint. Now, you claim in your last post in this thread, that this thread was started as a rebuttle to a flash movie in which Bush is holding a swachtika. I simply want to put it this way, and then i will explain my reasoning: COMEDY FLASH MOVIES EXXAGERATE THE TRUTH ALL THE TIME. For example i have never seen a thread started as a rebuttle against arfenhouse, because they broke the laws of physics in their odd, yet funny parody. I have never seen a thread started simply because a political cartoon, such as those by jibJab, has offended someone in any way. If you wish to get pissed about some 1 second long thing such as bush holding a swashtika, then contact the author in hopes of a flame war. dont bother US with this senseless propoganda, chances are very low that the author of that movie even will go to this thread and change that, tjhats why you should contact him directly. I have seen quite a few political things in cartoons like that, like Kerry beoing compared to frankenstein or an insane child fucker (molester, but the words in the movie were 'fucker'). You may notice i have never started a rebuttle thread, or even post for tha matter, about these things. Its called common sense and a sense of jhumor, get some.
sincerely,
Will

Response to: Was it right 2 go 2 war with Iraq? Posted October 10th, 2004 in Politics

Saddam was and still is an evil, evil man, and he needed to get overthrown, there is no question about that. However, our focus should have been Osama Bin Laden, but no, we had to send our troops after some guy who didnt have anything to do with 911,. and we ignored the real threat. people say it was for oil, this is probably true, i also think that Bush wanted to get the publicity, respect, and sympathy that the USA has gotten all the other times we have gone to war (with the exception of Vietnam), however, the war in Iraq has made us one of the most hated countries in the world, like it or not.

In short, this war was at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
