This game is absolutely fantastic. I tweaked the game so my army can be huge without having to deal with morale, and epic 500 v 500 battles are just amazing.

So I've come up with three points right now for the proposition side:

First off, allowing the media to broadcast or report about trails will increase fairness by adding the watchful public eye. By allowing the public to view the proceedings of a trial, it takes away the bias from the judiciary officials (ie judges), and prevents them from doing something that is entirely bias and unorthodox. This will help to ensure that the defendant's rights are being upheld, and is a reason why, initially, the freedom of the press takes priority over the right to a fair trail.

Secondly, by allowing the public to see the consequences of their actions, crime should be reduced. For example, if you were to see a man get sentenced to death for killing someone, chances are, you would not go out and kill someone in fear of being killed yourself. Essentially, we would be using the media as an "instrument for public control."

Third, the benefits of seeing someone sentenced for a crime puts people at ease, and puts entire communities at ease. For example, if a child were abducted from your neighbourhood, wouldn't you feel much better if you knew the perp was put behind bars for what he as done? Taking it even a step higher, look at the example of the Nuremburg Trials of the Nazi war criminals. It put the entire world at ease knowing that these terrible men were killed for the terrible crimes they have committed.

Thoughts?

Er. Does anybody have any thoughts from the other point of view? In favour of the resolution; that's the one I'm struggling with.

I swear I've posted this exact thread 50 times at various sites and still have not gotten any solutions.

Whenever I enter the Medical Pavilion, the game crashes when it says "Saving." on the loading screen.

I have disabled absolutely everything in the menu, high-detail shaders, high-detail whatever, EVERYTHING. Nothing works, the game still crashes.

I've reinstalled the game twice. Still doesn't work.

I restarted the game and played up to the same point again. Guess what happened? It crashed.

Nothing works. I want to play this game already!

Someone please help me!

Oh. System specs:
Intel Core 2 2.4 GHz
2.5 GB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT 512 MB
Windows XP SP3

I thought I'd totally rip of Juris here and post my debate resolutions here.

"This House Believes That the right to a free press is a higher priority than the right to a fair trial."

For the sake of this topic, argue which is more important.

Now, it is important that both of these rights are upheld in the best possible manner. However, the media does tend to place biases on anything they are covering. This can, one way or another, affect the jury's decision, and will ultimately violate the defendant's right to a fair trial. Obviously, no good can come of this. For example, take a look at the case of Sheppard v. Maxwell, 1966. In 1954, Sam Sheppard was convicted of the murder of his wife. However, Sheppard claimed a third person had committed the crime, but nobody believed him.

How is this an example of the negative affects of the media? Well, before the trial, newspaper headlines screamed: "Why isn't Sam Sheppard in Jail?" Furthermore, the media had taken over the courtroom. Sam Sheppard could not whisper in the ear of his counsel without someone overhearing it. The Supreme Court eventually ruled that Sheppard was unfairly convicted. In his retrial, he was acquitted of all charges. This is only one example of where the media will negative affect the trail, and breach a defendant's rights.

Secondly, seeing as both are constitutional rights, they should be treated equally. Neither should have priority over the other. If we give priority to the press over the rights of a trial, that is only the first of many. It will escalate to other rights in other situations, and we will just end up with a mess on our hands. Every right should be provided to every citizen in an equal matter. None are more important than the others.

So, what are your thoughts?

But he was the same person, meaning only 43 different Americans. But he was the same person, meaning only 43 different Americans. By your logic, there are 56 Americans who have taken the oath.

In his speech, Obama said "Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath." Wasn't it actually forty-three, since Grover Cleveland had non-consecutive terms?

I'm just nitpicking, it doesn't matter, but how did nobody catch this? Or is there another explanation?

If you've changed shampoo or conditioner, it might be causing it, either because residue remains or its clogging your pores when you rinse it.

Also, because it's winter, if you're using a facial cleanser together with the dryness of heating, and general winter air, it can dry your skin out. Your skin will respond by producing more oil which will in turn clog your pores and cause you to break out.

Could be hormones (guys do actually have a biological cycle that's just not as obvious as girls)
These sort of apply. I did change those.

It is winter, but it's gotten warmer rather than colder since this started.

And hormones you can never tell so I don't know.

your profile says you are fifteen or is that a joke of some sort?

if you're really fifteen then yeah, this is just the beginning.
I've had it since I was about 12. I hit puberty early. And like I said, it's been clear for a while now, and just suddenly came back.

So my Acne has really been acting up recently and I have no idea why. It was fine up until about Christmas and then it just got crazy and is now covering my cheeks, which is really ugly.

I have Clean and Clear facial scrub, as well as some other product that I can't remember the name of, and neither of them seem to work. In fact, it is just getting worse!

Now I'm sure other members have had similar problems, so what did you guys do to get rid of it? More importantly, what did you to keep it away?

We all watched it on the sat tv... I was fucking pumped by the end of his speech. We were all like WOO! YEAH LETS GO BLOW SHIT UP IN THE NAME OF AMERICA! Was funny how he tripped over his oath of office though.
The Chief Justice was definitely at fault here for changing the order of the words around.

Despite that, it really was an excellent inauguration. I had chills multiple times during the ceremonies. Obama's speech was very good. Overall, a very great day.

I definitely didn't convey that correctly but whatever.

EDIT:
All I'm saying is it would be in everyone's best interest if Hamas accepted the ceasefire.

wait i think i read this wrong before i warned you for it.

are you pinning blame on hamas for the civilian deaths or what
No. It doesn't really matter who was responsible for the deaths in the past, they have already happened. However, future deaths are preventable. Hamas doesn't want to accept the ceasefire because Israeli troops will remain stationed in their territory. However, by not accepting the ceasefire, it will result in more fighting, and thus, more civilian deaths. Future civilian deaths would be almost entirely Hamas' fault, past civilian deaths are not.
