Why does the media constantly refer to Europe's countries as States?

dinohe @dinohe (92) 11 Jul 08

I know that the EU is made up of member countries,but the media always refers to them as states,and now the media is now calling Kosovo a new state.Is this to condition the masses on a new way of thinking? Seems kind of Orwellian...

states

bucketosand a state doesn't only mean like what we have here in America... a state is a territory that is united in some way under some form of government, so just because all the American states are part of the same country doesn't mean the media is trying to say all...

bucketosand I'd love to know more about the market, but honestly I really don't know a thing about it. If you have some money, now has got to be the time to invest with the economy so bad, wouldn't it? It has to be only a matter of time until things get better. But really...

Do you think that footballers are paid far too much money?

dinohe @dinohe (92) 11 Jul 08

I love football and I will always love it but 100,000$ a week!Maybe 100,000$ a month.The reason it's so high is because it more of an industry not a sport. Also people like David Beckham donates so much of his money into charity...

bucketosand I agree that many of these athletes are getting way too much money. We have baseball players here that make nearly if not more than a million a week. Alex Rodriguez makes $25 million per year, which is only 6 months of playing. It's crazy and I don't know when...

Why is everyone obsesing with gas prices in the US ?

dinohe @dinohe (92) 11 Jul 08

Why is everyone obsessing with gas prices in the US ? Gas prices are TWICE as high in Europe and you don't see them complaining.

bucketosand because we're americans and that's all you guys think we can do. the cost of living is going up so fast and wages aren't keeping up. that's why.

Do you believe in the paranormal?

21centaur21 @21centaur21 (119) • United States 11 Jul 08

Hello all. I'm new to the Mylot family here and figured I'd start out by beginning a discussion on whether or not members believe in the paranormal. Please forgive me if this is a topic that's been beat to death already but as I...

bucketosand No I don't. I know many people will claim they have these strange happenings that they can't explain, but until that happens to me I'm not buying it. I live in a city, so I'm not out in the middle of nowhere in a haunted house or anything like that. So maybe I...

bucketosand It was alright about a year ago... Honestly I only bought it for the Halo beta but I was pleasantly surprised. It turns out that my Xbox died so I didn't even get to play the beta... But if you like Crackdown, try GTA IV. it's kind of a similar type...

bucketosand it's definitely crazy. I keep trying to tell myself 'it HAS to come back down soon' but I thought the same thing back when it was 2 bucks. I've began using public transportation because it's cheaper. Something has got to change soon...

Does anyone know how to fix a minor problem in laptop?

kidjuwee @kidjuwee (611) • Philippines 11 Jul 08

Okay I have a not so old Toshiba Satellite laptop and I have a problem with the mic socket, output or whatever you call it. It just won't work, I have no problems with the audio output and the headset output, only the mic has a...

bucketosand Unless you can see that there's damage or something is physically wrong with the actual input, it's probably a driver issue. Look at Toshiba's website to see if theres some update for that issue. Maybe the hardware you're trying to use needs some kind of...

Do you think Ohio State can possibly make a 3rd straight BCS championship?

Dirgeofsorrow @Dirgeofsorrow (10) • United States 3 Apr 08

And do you think they actually have a shot to win this time? It seems almost improbable that they will be able to come up with yet another run to the BCS title game, but with their domination of the Big Ten, it's always possible....

1 response

bucketosand I think it's absolutely possible to be there for a third straight time. Even if they lose to USC, which will no doubt be a tough one but I think they have a real shot, they could still make it. Nobody was lost from the team, we got Pryor who will be used like...

bucketosand I too like the Xbox 360. The PS3 may be great and have Bluray built in, but its price turned me off. The Xbox 360 has plenty of games, a great online community, still great graphics, and a much better price. For me it was a simple decision. I like the Xbox...

bucketosand I prefer the Xbox 360 version. Like it was mentioned above, the PC has way too many ways to mod and cheat throughout the game. The PS3 is great but if you don't have one its pretty expensive. For me, the Xbox was just right, good graphics and a decent price,...

bucketosand It's been a tough season, and with them parting with CC this year (if there was still any doubt) is officially done. I do think though that the future is still bright. They've got 2 new aces in Lee and Carmona. If they can get Pronk and Victor healthy that's...

License?

abruzzi10 @abruzzi10 (622) • Latvia 28 Jun 08

Are you playing licensed xbox games or you are dirty little cheater? :(

bucketosand I only play real games. It's not worth it for me to somehow get fake copies and risk losing my Xbox Live account. Even though I hate paying $60 for them, its worth it for me.

I am using an Asus A6 laptop and I don't have problems with it. I installed 2 pcs of 1 gig memory ram and it's fast now. I am planning to upgrade my hard disc but I don't know if I really need it yet.

bucketosand I have a HP laptop and I love it. I chose them because they seem to offer the best upgrades for the lowest prices. I got it a little over a year ago, I got 2 gigs duo, 2 gigs of ram, 100gb hdd and the bigger battery. the bigger battery not only gets twice the...
