I believe that its wrong and definately not cool, but I think the percentage of true racists is actually much smaller than your 47%. The problem is that teens and young adults are the majority of live members, and these same people are listening to the rap & hip hop that uses the language to a great extent. They're also influenced by the similar movies. My brother in law is a fine example. He's got black friends, doesn't have a hateful bone in his body, but he'll drop it in conversation because its part of his sphere of influence.

While I don't think it's okay, I think that the black community of music has brought the word into the mainstream. Unless they reverse course, its only going to get more popular in use by kids who don't understand why it isn't appropriate. Although, maybe it could be time for society to move past a word.

OH!  The biggest thing that drove me away from Gears was the acheivements!  If I heard one more 11 year old screaming, "I need the Hammer or x!  I'm 50 kills away." I was going to lose it! 

People are complaining because the novelty and hype are finally wearing off.  It was overrated and hyped!  The single player was fun, but how long can that last.  MP is fataly flawed with its lack of modes, no clans, clunkiness, and general repetitveness.  I enjoyed it for a short while, but found myself going back to Rainbow 6: Vegas or GRAW 1/2 or CoD for the MP. 

Good idea, but most won't like it because not everyone like SC, GR, or R6. Some people only like one of the series.

I think they need to bring a triple release: SC, GR, and R6.  The 3 are tied together in the same storyline.  In the SC game, you try to rescue someone Sam style, etc.  Then through the games, you see actions or have interactions with the other characters.  Sam and Scott team up.  Depending on the game you have, that's the part you play.  Then you could have cross game co-op, where you and your friends could participate in different parts in different roles.  For example, The Ghosts snipe/cover the R6 squad while they infiltrate a compound while Sam is slipping though the chaos though the back door.  Or Sam throws a guy out a window, and he lands on the street in front of a squad.  Depending on the game you play, you see different aspects of the event. 

 What do you think?  What would you do? 

I had to replace my drive, and that was my experience.

I'm doing a project for school.  For the project I must examine a publically traded US company and suggest an international move.  I've chosen Best Buy and a possible expansion to Australia.  So I have some questions for Australians who have knowledge of Best Buy. 

1.  Where do you shop for your consumer electronics now?  (tvs, dvds, computers, video games)

2.  Would you welcome a store such as Best Buy?

3.  Who would be most impacted by the move? 

Thanks for any help.
