Would you mind elaborating on that? I've heard a lot of people say that he's dangerous, but never why.
I would guess that he suffers from principles. It is very dangerous to give these sort of people power over those who are free from this affliction.

Paul's views, such as his stance on the involvment of government in matters, as well as on social issues such as drugs, and some of his stances on foreign issues are offputting to many people, including myself in some cases. Though he has had some smashing one-liners in the past.

I agree. Although I personally can't think of any of his views I disagree with, I know some of them are bound to be unpopular. (Although I still don't see the dangerous part.)

Still, I would think his decisiveness and honesty would win some people over. If I didn't already agree with him, they would have won me over.

Dangerous as in, our traditionally completely legitimate, but actually commercially insane and serially multi murderous, multi-billion dollar international business practices might not get conveniently ignored as usual if a man of principals gets the job of buyer in chief. :)

Because that's the correct way to spell it.

Because while this is an American English board, we still have foreigners who post in their native language.

AHadley, I can educate you about Obama some time if you want, I just don't want to do it here since even when only giving facts the other side loves to call names.

Its worse than that, in the CFGs they use both spellings of some word depending on orientation.

That's because the DR2 code (which parses and displays .cfgs) was written by Aussies. Main BZ2 code was written by Americans. After DR2 shipped, the Aussies ran home (with management's blessing) to open Pandemic Brisbane.
