Kid makes Halo 3 armor and weapons

This guy couldn't be more than 15 - 16. And he's able to make firm and stable replicas of Halo 3 armaments out of cardboard and tape. As much as I doubt he has a girlfriend, I am quite jealous of his design aptitudes.

The Ban on Flag Burning

Not too long ago, a law was approved that banned burning the American Flag within the United States. Half of this country is relieved that their flag will no longer be hurt. The other half is outraged and they belief their civil rights have once again been trampled on.

Before I go in-depth with my own opinion, what does everyone else think? Regardless if you're American that is... I know there are places on this planet that if you speak out against your government in even the slightest way, you are immediately silenced. The United States is one of only a few places where such a thing is allowed.

Does anyone see this as a step in the direction of America turning into such a country? Since President Bush's first term, there's been quite a take down on public protest. Is this just one more restriction being placed on the public?

Flag burning is widely seen as dishonoring the flag, but others see it as honoring what the flag stands for. What's the opinions here?

Help

I just posted a reply in the "Cheating" thread on Off Topic. The quote tags failed to work, and when I tried to edit the message, it double posted. I did not reply a second time, I am certain I clicked "edit" because the box at the bottom said "modify".

Help?

Pictures!

I've recently started going nuts with my digital camera, posting my likeness online more often, and got curious as to who I talk to online. I know a couple of resident posters here personally, from XCAS mainly... But I was curious if anyone else here has pictures of themselves.

Here's one of me at the local bar and grill.

Come on! Don't be shy, I'm sure I'm not THAT much better looking than the rest of you. I need to put some faces to some names here...
