No, you are being disrespectful to me, whether you mean it or not. Your lumping me and all my fellow citizens in with bunch of people who paint all people who speak the same language as the same race. That's not fair to me or to anyone else, so you're no better than them for coming out and saying that. And don't pin all of your countries problems on me, I don't owe you anything, and I don't think our current government does either. America intervened in your country's affairs before by giving weapons and money like we've done with several countries in the past to try and assist in the establishment of a better government to better serve the U.N. and NATO, some times with success and other times without. And I feel empathy that things didn't work out the way the politicians of the day pictured it. However, it's not fair of you to sit there and tell everyone that we have to rebuild your country for you. You know what country was way worse off than you in the 1940's? Germany. America, England and Russia utterly destroyed that country by 1945 due to World War II. People in Berlin had no running water, no power, no telephones, no hospitals, no police, no army, no air force and had a significantly reduced male population due to all the military conscripts casualties. A lot of current day third world countries have a lot of the things Germany didn't have. Germany is still paying back, or just finished paying back reparations money from WWI and WWII if my memory serves me correct (a German resident of this forum can fill us in on this properly) and the re-construction of Berlin alone, never mind other cities in Germany, wasn't complete until the 1980's. Germany lost two world wars, wound up split in half between the Soviet Union and NATO for around 50 years, and have come back from utter poverty to regain it's status as one of the most civilized, modern and well-to-do western countries in the world today. And they did that on their own. If they can do it, I believe other countries can too.

You read my mind with that clip, I was about to post it to since it came to mind immediate. lol

Yeah, the problem is the new police Dodge Chargers look absolutely nothing like that. That car in the picture is a Dodge Charger R/T model with all available options. You can see the R/T badge on the front, and it has optional alloy wheels and racing tires.

You're risking starting a huge flame war making a topic like this, but I think you already know that. Also, Americans who think people who speak Spanish must be Mexican has nothing to do with third world countries, nor is that how a majority of people I know think. So I'd cut that sh*t out before you even start, seeing as you don't even live in America. And yes, this is the wrong forum. This should be in Politics & Current Events & Society. Whether the moderators are going to move it there or not is another story. What do I think about third world countries? Well, first lets get a clear definition on what third world actually means. It actually means countries that are not aligned with NATO or the former Soviet Union & China. So actually, the country you're from is a third world country. However, the slang definition most people around the globe use when they say 'third world' is a country that has no money and have citizens that live in poor conditions (bad or no medical care, impoverished families, diseases, civil wars, corrupt police). There are lots of them around the world. In that sense, is your country a third world country? I can't say. I don't know enough about the economy or politics of the South American countries, but I know a lot of them would be considered to be a 'third world country' under the slang definition people use today. You can probably tell us better than anyone what the conditions in Argentina are like. As far as the U.S.'s policies in dealing with third world countries; I'm tired of our government donating money to them since as mentioned above, it seems to go to waste when it could be better used locally. But it's probably a strategy to keep their problems over there instead of bringing them to our shores in the form of a war or something else. We already have third world country citizens bringing their problems over to our country in the form of diseases like Ebola or through domestic terrorism. I wish the world could be a peaceful place, but it can't, apparently.

No, I won't PM you about it, I have better things to do on this forum, but I disagree with your assessment of a comparison of the two cars mentioned.

While the idea of bringing back the Caprice was a good one, they went about it wrong (as have all police car manufacturers with this generation of cars if you ask me). It doesn't handle as well as the Taurus because it doesn't have all wheel drive, and although it has a Corvette engine in it, which sounds really appealing at first; it's a scaled back one, and it's actually slower than the Taurus is despite the noise it makes when it accelerates. Lastly it's not nearly as beefy as the 1990's Caprice we all knew and loved, and therefore likely wouldn't be as hard hitting if it needed to ram someone off the road. I haven't sat it one, but because it looks about the same size-wise as the Taurus, I'd imagine it's more cramped than a CVPI. The Taurus is cramped inside, I preferred the CVPI for comfort. Comparing the two Fords (in my opinion): Comfort: CVPI Toughness: CVPI Trunk Space: CVPI (Tauruses can't fit my local PD's spike strips. They're switching to all SUV's next year to compensate for that problem.) Speed/Power: Taurus Handling: Taurus Fuel Economy: Taurus Dependability: Unknown Seems like a tie to me thus far, but we'll see what the future brings. So far no company has given us a new cop car that's 100% better than the previous generation. Just ones that more or less balance out as equal to it. A new one should do everything better.

Yes. Yes you are.

Thank you for warning me beforehand. I had my volume knob turned all the way down on my headset and I could still hear it clearly, including the person saying "Oh my god!" at the end. If I had this at regular volume I think people in the next county would have heard it clearly. I believe it is a police car since it has blue LED's as well as the red. It might be a take home car, I hope to god it's not a first responders car.

While that's a good point, he plainly didn't mean anything by it. It should have been worded something to the likes of "favorite war history to study". I would have to second the motion on World War II because of what lead up to it, the uniqueness of its politics, technology and destruction on a whole new scale, and how things turned out after. Really, you could argue that the years 1914-1991 are all tied in together making it one period starting with all the various European empires and ending with the eventual dissolving of the Soviet Union. There's a lot of interesting things to be learned, and general lessons that need to stay fresh in the minds of politicians and citizens alike today.

I don't know if YouTube's content recognition system will pick up on it, but yes, instrumentals are copyrighted if its the actual one he/they used on the album. Covers of them by other people are not.

In defense of gatekeeper, sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing.

I agree with your post, but I think the only reason most of us would help out is due to someone posing mortal danger to the officer. In any case, I don't think helping to tackle someone running away from a cop will get you thrown in court either, good samaritan law or not. Every time I've seen someone provide help, I've always seen the officer say "Thank you, I want to get your name(s)."

There are good samaritan laws in all 50 states to protect you from liability in scenarios like that. My only fear would be getting into something you visibly can't handle, like someone using a gun when you don't have one yourself to return fire. The best you can do in that situation is call 911 and report "an officer down, shots fired" then name your location.

The one posted at the beginning of the thread.

I'd say it'd be more likely to make the textures look like ass. You'll see heavy pixelation because the resolution isn't as high. It's like taking a small photo and setting it as your desktop wallpaper in Windows by "stretching" it.

I think you're reading a little too much into it. You just don't like negative feedback, but that's your problem. 40fps is just above what television gives you, the ideal FPS for a shooter game is 60fps, but in either case it's ARMA. It's based on an old military simulator, so you're not impressing me. I'm glad you're happy. My assessment still stands, and numbers don't lie. My mistake on the date, the game engine is from 2007, not 2006. You laugh a lot, almost as if you're nervous or insecure.

Before I even see the clip, is this the one with the black dude walking around the sidewalk who fought paramedics and is prancing around like he's leading a parade? Because if so I've seen it, and yes I would help. The only situation I might stay away from is if the suspect had a deadly weapon like a gun or a large knife, unless I happened to have a gun on me myself. *VIDEO NOW WATCHED* Yes, it is the clip I thought it was.

Congratulations, you're playing a game from 2006 at reasonable details with 20+fps less than I'd get on a computer I built 2 years ago. You still wasted your money on your graphics card, but enjoy.

Good. The cities they host it in keep getting worse and worse each year. Bejing sucked due to all the pollution and the allegations of cheating, and Sochi was arguably worse in some ways due to corrupt officials and police, questionable behavior towards Americans and other "westerners" and the fact that the city was essentially a slum that Putin tried to clean up at the last minute. Now we're down to f*cking Kazakhstan? You're going to host the Olympics in Borat country? Get a grip. Even if I had spent two years training for the Olympics, I'd seriously consider skipping the next competition due to its location.

It could be a "reserve officer/deputy" which would merit that sort of thing. Both volunteer and regular firemen and medics in my town do it with their cars. There's a dark red Suburban that drives around here and it has lights in the grill, windshield and back window along with a siren. I see it fly down the road from time to time. When I asked some townspeople about it, he turned out to be the fire chief. No matter the actual situation, I know that companies that install lights in vehicles will allow emergency lights to go in provided you show them a badge. He has that, so it's probably fair game. I just don't expect him to be doing traffic stops in it. Probably run code 2 or code 3 to an emergency scenario as someone mentioned above, or maybe bring it to construction duty instead of wasting a perfectly usable cruiser.

I gave you a link to see where I get my information, if you chose not to look at it because you don't like what I'm telling you, then that's your problem. Stepping up the video card will obviously improve the frame rate, but I suggested you don't overspend because your CPU is going to bottleneck the true performance of a heavy duty graphics card. So my suggestion is to not overspend on it. You can choose to take it or leave it. That all really depends on what you buy. A motherboard that would fit my CPU will only cost around $120 or something at this point, maybe less. People shouldn't be buying motherboards for less than $100 unless they enjoy buying replacements annually. CPU's will depend on the grade. I got one of the best quad cores I could get at the time and it was about $300 for the chip. Getting a decent one would have been $150 which isn't unreasonable in my opinion. Intels are more expensive but they perform better generally speaking. It all depends on how picky you are. I'm very picky and have high standards.

The magic of video editing. It's the same reasons actors never get their lines wrong on TV.
