Sarah Palin is President Bush with a Bush.  Does she know our history?  No... otherwise why would she say that the founding fathers used "under god" in the Pledge of Allegiance?  Because she actually thought they did it.  When in reality, the pledge was altered under President Eisenhower with *shiver* religious influence during the Red Scare.

Why is this important??  Because in the past, as we should now know, not understanding the geopolitics (geographical politics) of a nation leads to bad decisions.  One great example, our invasion of Iraq and dissemination of their government left the country in a state of anarchy we were not prepared for.  We did not foresee, although we should have, the problems that would arise from taking down the dictatorship.  How could we have understand the situation better?  From understanding the history of the area better when deciding to invade.  So if the potential Vice President/President does not even know her own Countries' history, even a small common knowledge bit,  how can we expect her to act diligently in the affairs of foreign countries?

Attorney General Beau Biden

Next, I had the pleasure of attending a no press lecture-style speech by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden who spoke at the Democratic Convention in Denver.  Just to remind those who did not watch the convention or his speech, he is the son of Vice President Nominee Senator Joe Biden.  In short, the guy is as great a person on television as he is off television.  Denver was not even part of the quasi-speech, which was more of a unscripted discussion, and the focal point was about how Delaware's Attorney General's office is ran and how they're currently implementing a new prosecuting program to reduce crime in the state.  Since I hold a Bachelor of Science (4 yr degree) in Criminal Justice, I could really relate to what he was saying in two ways.  But all in all, he is a great example of what his father is, which others have failed to represent.

World of Warcraft Sucks

 

Fourth, the world combat in WoW sucks.

This is a given.  Everyone knows that flying mounts destroyed the little there was.  Prior to flying mounts consisted of generally just ganking anyway.  The most competitive ganking was the best.  That was in Silithus' town, which I don't even remember the name of.  Of course this is not even the case after the patch that made the guards instantly pwn everyone from everywhere.  What a bore!  Why don't they just make fighting unable to happen rather than buffing the guards beyond belief.  Fighting in Tanaris' town was fun too until they made fighting from rooftops illegal and then gave the guards guns which just flipping wreck everyone.

 

Whats the deal with the world pvp objectives?  Every world pvp objective except for Halaa was played out before it was even released on live.  And Halaa followed shortly afterwards.  They were merely side-miniature games like the arcade games in GTA but no one ever participated.

 

And finally World Events Suck in WoW

I have to admit, the world events in WoW did not necessarily suck in their idea of the fashion they were implemented.  They sucked for two reasons.  The gate opening of AQ was grandiose but lasted only a few short hours, but required hours upon hours of work from everyone on the server to open.  Or I should say, required hours of work if the people on the server felt like doing the work because eventually the gates opened practically by themselves (with the essential component).  Well?  The event lasted so short that if you didn't log in that day, you never experienced it.  And if you did log in that day, you probably lagged too much to experience it.

 

The whole Naxxramas world event was nearly lag free and lasted much longer.  But it didn't have the grandiose feeling that the AQ gate opening achieved.  There weren't large monsters walking around which required group participation to take down... instead they had basically packs of mobs which you had to farm.  Yay!  The reduced a world event down to a grind!

 

Did they change anything with the Sunwell?  They took out the competitive aspect of opening the raid instance!  They claimed that other events would be made to promote realm competition... Where the **** are they?  Non-existent.  A way to brush off the expectations of their players.  "maybe they'll forget" - they were probably thinking.  I didn't forget.

 

There are so many reasons why WoW sucks.  I will just laundry list a few others.

- farming endlessly

- So you can eventually farm endlessly again

- So when the next expansion/arena season comes out, you can farm again

- 1 new lackluster BG per expansion

- and others

 

Why do you want to keep paying for the ability to farm over and over again?  Why can't they add variations of BGs more often?  Why do they allow class imbalance to the extent they do?

 

I really can't say if Warhammer will be any better and to be honest, I wouldn't even play it if 8 people I know (half who never even played wow) plan on playing it.  But if we collectively focus our hope of Warhammer slaying WoW, maybe - just maybe... probably not.  Okay, but who cares.
