    Steampunk: Your Thoughts...

    Ah, the era of steam, a by-gone world of danger, exploration, and progress in all of mans works. 'Twas good. And it's not just because the British empire rules the world on most steampunk novels... Honest... (Score one for the home team!)

    What game was it that started you out gaming?

    Super Mario World on the SNES...Beautiful. An exemplary example of platforming to this day.

    Cowboy Bebop Live Action Movie - No Way

    Well, he looks a little like spike, so you can see why they chose him (If they've chosen him), but he lacks the voice, as has been said above. From what I know, Reeves has a rather gruff voice, which isn't really Spike. On any level. At all, really. Oh well, it seems like the "book" phase of...

    Games you waited ages for

    Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles. How many times was that game delayed? About a year and a half I'd say. And when I finally got it, my copy of the game hated me, and decided that every time I want to load a game, it would re-format. Damn you square-Enix!

    Why did you join The Escapist Forums?

    I joined because, as far as the internet goes, this place is the closest thing to a civilized country, which is sad really. That, and I like games, and I want to put my English skills to good use defending, or occassionally slaughtering, them. When I garner enough courage, I'll try review...

    Is it Morally correct for the state to sponsor overpopulation.

    Well, it's good to know I added something to this debate! Keep it up! I'm shattered. Just as a final note, so this isn't labelled as spam and what-not, the birth rates in most civilized countries are slowing down. The average in England is something like 1.7 now. It's a cultural, and financial...

    Is it Morally correct for the state to sponsor overpopulation.

    Ah, you're talking about the underclass! That's the posh sociological term for it. Even that can't be solved by birth restrictions. It's more about how the welfare state, and it's flaws. Y'see, the system is about 60 years old now, and it's been tinkered with so much that part's of it are...

    Is it Morally correct for the state to sponsor overpopulation.

    Amen to that one. There is so much useless rubbish being taught in "Citizenship" classes, that most teens just mentally block it. It's all very muchly common sense, and what isn't common sense is portrayed so ludicrously that it can't be taken seriously. Real example, the fire-service came...

    Is it Morally correct for the state to sponsor overpopulation.

    Right, I'm going to jump into this moral melee with +1 great sword of Philosophy drawn (Naturally). So, in short, lets talk trash. Now, I see what you're saying, and it's a perfectly valid opinion, and as a Brit, I can also relate to the context. An NHS, plus the highest teenage pregnancy...

    Canada's Primeminister dissolves the Canadian Parliament?

    It's immoral, but perfectly legal. What he means is that he's closing Parliament down for a little while. In that time, no legal business shall proceed. It's not dictatorial, it's just him wanting to go campaigning without having to return parliament every day. Think of it akin to a coffee...
