| 4202 | Excitebike | Such a great classic. It's fun and simple. All you could want in a game like this. | Vaporman87 | Oct 11, 2013 |  |
| 4201 | Bringing back a retro product. | Plus, if a cartridge was dirty, you could blow on the bottom of it. Sure, it was um...breathtaking, but it was better than wasting money on a cleanser for the compact disc. | Mr Magic | Oct 11, 2013 | |

| 4199 | Things you don't like about this era. | I think if you're going to end subsidies for one group, you need to end them for everyone. The government should not be in the business of picking and choosing which areas of business need a boost, and which ones do not. I certainly agree with you that what happens with regard to "corporate welfare" is a sham. There are corporations out there that likely are guilty of every sin you list in that last paragraph. The problem is that we now live in a global market. It's not simply a matter of saying "this is wrong" and then going cold turkey. If you do that, then what benefit that actually exists as a result of the corporation operating here in America will be packed up and shipped to China, Taiwan, Korea, or some other country (what parts aren't already there, that is). So while it is true that these mammoth corporations are destroying smaller competitors and not paying fair wages and such, it's also true that these corporations are being coerced into leaving the country, and leaving our economy worse off. I'm no fan of big business (though in the propane business, it's not the big guys you have to worry about, it's the other guy down the street), but the sad fact is that we need them. And we need them to stay here in America. I hate that this is true, but it is. It's a balancing act with government trying to keep the corporations honest and not exploiting people, and allowing them leeway to operate at a significant profit. If the balance shifts too far one way or the other, the effects are bad for us all. On a side note: I'm no fan of Ayn Rand's views on altruism or religion, but I think she was spot on regarding pure capitalism. Yes, we need regulation and we need accountability, but we have to be VERY careful with these things, and not be passing 70,000 new regulations every year. It's crazy. | Vaporman87 | Oct 11, 2013 | |

| 4197 | Things you don't like about this era. | 1. I'd rather they buy their junk at the gas station than WalMart. They are getting less of it and giving the money to a small business owner. WalMart is bad, mmkay? 2. If it were not a govt program, I doubt there would be enough support. However, I would agree that the system definitely needs to be completely reworked. It should be time limited. Able-bodied adults should not need this assistance for over twelve years. Type of food should be restricted as well. I understand freedom and so on but it makes me sick to see sustenance funding used on cases of single serve blue juice and flamin' hots. Food education should be available with the program. Drug testing. It doesn't have to be expensive. There are new methods that are very cheap and very fast. Do it at pickup, if somebody tests bad they don't get money next month. And the test doesn't have to run on every person. Say 25%, so each person is only tested once every four months. Last but also most, end corporate welfare. What pisses me off more than any poor person demanding govt money and not trying to eat right or contribute to society, is a giant corporation demanding govt resources (such as new roads built, water and electric access, and tax subsidies) without contributing to society (paying wages so low that people with jobs still need food stamps; refusing full time permanent employment and benefits; firing people when they can't come in because they got sick; offering low prices by destroying suppliers and competition including job creators who might actually respect employees; et cetera.) | shakin steak | Oct 11, 2013 | |
| 4196 | Things you don't like about this era. | Stepping into hot button territory here, but I just can't stand the sheer volume of EBT cardholders nowadays, and the brazen abuse of the system. <img src="/images/postImages/EBT Cards.png"> I can't count the number of times I have stood in line at the gas station down the road, waiting to pay for my morning Mt. Dew fix, and watching as someone lays down their 5 pounds of pork rinds and 20 Frostop Orange Sodas (that they shouldn't be permitted to purchase to begin with) that they are paying a premium price for there (instead of going to Walmart and getting them much cheaper). That's MY tax money they are wasting on being fat and lazy. :mad: Sorry. It just drives me nuts. And I get so tired of hearing that these types of programs would garner the approval of Jesus. Basically saying that if Jesus were alive today (walking among us, that is), he would find himself on the side of progressives with regard to entitlement programs. Really? Did Jesus say that we should care for one another? Yup. Did he say it was okay to force us to at the tip of a Roman spear? NO! This stuff should be what we do voluntarily, out of concern for our fellow man. Not forced upon us by the government. --steps down off soapbox-- :bot: | Vaporman87 | Oct 11, 2013 | |
