Uh oh, bathrobe! No just kidding. Looks like fun! -
Yeah, something tells me I'd support sending thousands of troops to rebuild NO.

Ummm, for being flooded, it didn't look that bad. It could have been MUCH worse. -
Don't worry, a lot of people inside the United states view it the same way....

^I believe there's a screenshot folder in the NoLimits main folder. -
No, Ghosty is just poorly maintained. I remember riding it the summer after it opened and it was AMAZING> the air was string, but in no way painful. It was just so much fun. The last time I rode it was 2 or three years ago, and it really has taken a turn for the worse. From what I hear, it's gotten even worse so if that was your first ride then it may have been painful, but honestly, I always loved getting slammed into my restraint on that drop. R.I.P. Good ghostrider.

You had the basics but a few things were missing or incorrect. -There's a rather lengthy straight section before the lift where the transfer track is. -There's a short straight section right before the drop after the turn over the station, I believe. -Your helix was missing the little dip in the middle. -The second drop doesn't go down that far. Other than that, mostly there were just shaping problems and jerks throught the track. But overall it wasn't a bad recreation and had the general layout there.

I just noticed that this poll is a perfect tie.

I do agree with what you said about how taking an outsider's perspective changes things. The same can be applied to their entire political structure and beliefs, as they're far more religiously driven than we are in many aspects, so us going over and trying to get them to change it to be more democratic is basically useless since they'll basically always vote based on whoever goes to their beliefs. Also, just a thought, we are really setting a prime example of how much good democracy does for your country right now....

Was it morally justifiable? Yes Was it any of our business? No Just because a country's ruler is cruel and unfair does not automatically enlist us to go play "world police." To my knowledge, the U.S. never, or at least not successfully, ever occupied a country with the sole intention of liberating its people. If you can name a time when we did, I'll resign this part as being incorrect. And about the serious threat of terrorism. Is it serious? Yes. Is it huge? Not as huge as most are led to believe. On top of that, are we really doing much to stop terrorism? NO. We're only protecting our own selves. There are other terroristic groups all over the world that are just as bad as Al Qaeda, but since Al Qaeda was the only group with enough balls to step up to us, we're only focusing on them. I don't see us doing much about the gangs, drug circles, weapons circuit, or human trade groups in areas of Africa, South America, or "Asia." Why do I think we aren't? Well, what harm could a prepubescent prostitute be to us? Let's not get into the "moral justifications" of those cases. Even if we did have to shut down Saddam, there are much better and tactful ways we could have brought him down rather than using all of our flashy bombs and sending in thousands of troops. And, just to be honest, I think that area needs a good civil war. Not just Iraq, but think the entire fundamentalist population just needs to resolve their own problems, even if the means through which would have to be bloodshed. There's really no level-headed group over there large enough to garner significant support from the people, so any leader that arises is going to be to some degree out there. I mean, look, thousands of years of back and forth tension and minor struggles have basically done nothing for them and what was once the cradle of civilization is now basically Earth's Ghetto.

Also, to go back to a very early thread. YEAH HI, inversions have nothing to do with whether your track flows or not. A kink is a kink as a pump is a pump, and a smooth transition is a smooth transitionsL regardless of inversions. Also, Id say the initial spiral up would probably count as an inversion since you're basically upside down at one point, thanks. -

I wonder how this is going to effect the flying turns? Like, do you think the treated it well to prevent warping? -

Well, just to be frank, I think you should have atleast read the readme before going around making yourself out to be "the best designer on the site." If you're going to make those types of unjustifiably cocky posts, you really shouldn't expect people to be perfectly corgial toward you. Honestly, all I saw anybody tell you was either "omg ur track is ooooo good" or tell you what to work on in the track and then, until everybody else basically told you the same, you maintained this aloof, self-centered, and condescending tone and generally acted as if you were "the shite." ANYWAY, I think my post was pretty directory as to what to do. All the info about the track coloring is EASILY located in the AHG readme. I'm not going to copy and paste the entire readme into this thread for you. If you're too lazy to take the 5 seconds of your precious time to open the file itself you apparently don't need to see it that bad. -
What's the worst song you ever heard?...

Okay honestly, I'm just going to say it. I hate basically everything Avril Lavigne has ever made.
