    Dunno, but on the Profile Settings under Membership there's a Groups & Clans tab that looks unused on my Profile with no buttons - so I'd presume it's going to be a function there but a work in progress.

    True, we are a weird state when it comes to how some people call East/West here - after all, one foot into Cecil County to some people is the "Eastern Shore" even counting North East/Easton parts that are hours from any shore. And frankly they're within an hour of Baltimore which is absolutely...

    On which post, you didn't quote. If it's the second - I'm fine on shipping them back, it's my preferred answer personally since it limits LONGTERM costs - but there's a ton more math involved than what he did was my point. (Note: My opinion will change if the UN officially declares them refugees...

    Selix, wife and I are in the same boat - will be two people sharing the same account until the real launch though (getting the Destiny PS4 for the 2nd to play together) - but if the "Is this Vac or Laura?" issue doesn't bother you, we're in the same boat as you.

    So we're assuming that each room will be used by one person ever and that zero dollars of the contract is going towards paying the salaries for the staff which were stated to range from $20-45/hr? Thanks for that amazing insight. Also almost none of these people are coming from Mexico...

    I know that National Guard Reserve spot he's talking about, unless they're housing only 10-20 people it's not big enough of a spot for anything there without a SHITLOAD of renovation.

    Sounds better than the AFB building they're currently using, and don't see any citation that they're keeping any of the amenities after the renovation, so calling it a vacation is quite premature ATM. I'm sure the organization looked at is as an opportunity to get private rooms for each party...

    What you cited doesn't state that remotely - it could be reducing the deficit with part that it did not effect while other stuff increases it. Look at it like a personal budget, you can "save" some of your budget by spending $100 less in groceries while you end up spending more total in the...

    IIRC the thing he's quoting it was that the earliest they would even be able to consider it would be Early 2015 because of how the exclusivity agreements are written or some such. It was something along that lines at least, that they COULD start working on it then, not that it was in the process...

    All those groups really didn't start immigrating here heavily until about the same time we started creating the laws to slow immigration - to imply that everything was hunky dory with them coming en masse (which note, I'm not complaining about - I wouldn't be here otherwise - but stating the...

    Interesting catch - but maybe I'm just optimistic but that doesn't sound THAT bad to me, simply because with ONE mission in the Alpha there was so much to do because of the Strikes, PVP, and Exploration that the same area allowed as a secondary use. Assuming 16 story missions coincides with...

    I'm not sure, has inflation been determined differently during different times? It's not something I'm versed in personally. It seems rather straight forward that they'd determine it by GDP growth but honestly, no clue - I just grabbed first link I saw that showed that 1.5-2% is pretty much...

    I'm guessing you've never listened to a refugee interview or read one's memoirs. It's typical for a refugee to break multiple laws while running from their old homes. Based on what you're implying we shouldn't help 90%+ of the refugees we assist.

    Depends on if they're trying to integrate into society without going through the refugee channels sneaking past or if they're actually just coming here and immediately going to refugee processing stuff. In reality it's probably some of each. Calling them all one or the other is likely...

    $40 is quite some usage with them, wife and I punched ours up and with our heavy usage between is it's like $30 before taxes average across our last couple bills. But yea, network does matter, Sprint isn't bad in too many places anymore though since the big Japanese investment thing.

    Yep, the oxymorons we leave in such things are a good hunk of the problem. People want simple "one answer" solutions and really any needs to be multifaceted. (i.e. amnesty needs to be coupled with bolstering the border, bolstering the border needs some answer for those already here, etc.)
