Freedom Of Speech Or Is It ???


The 1st amendment guarantees us the right to free speech in the USA but when we exercise this right we are threatened with lawsuits and the government says we must use caution in what we say or who we say it about or face the consequences.

I think it is time the Government goes back to the basics and allow us our rights that our fore fathers put forth. Stop changing the laws so a few individuals can have special rights. The constitution says we have these rights and thats that.

We are all supposed to be created equal but again groups and individuals do have special rights because it suits the government and they need the votes to stay in office. Well guess what these laws you make are a direct violation of the constitution THEY ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. You wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us and hate us. It is because the government and and all these special right groups change laws to suit their needs and dont even follow our own constitution.

It is about time we begin to follow the constitution again the way it is written. I am not saying we should not have laws for hate crimes or other things that protect Americans. I am saying it is time to wake up and smell the coffee and remember we are Americans, we are one country, one people one America and we should treat everyone that way.

Millions of people have died since our inception to protect these rights our fore fathers drew up for us to help keep us a free nation. They would all be rolling in their graves if they saw the mockery of today's America. We all need to stop sweating the little things in life and pull together as a nation to make us stronger united on one front. We are all one thing AMERICANS we all put our pants on they same way, we all bleed the same color blood, we all have emotions that move us, we are all just human. But most importantly we are AMERICANS.

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who said "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

If you dont like what someone says dont listen to them. They have the right to say what they want, to whom they want and about who ever they like. Freedom of Speech is a beautiful thing here in AMERICA but when you can sue someone for when they express their given right all that does is cost honest Americans their time, money and just clogs up the judicial system with frivolous lawsuits when they could be doing something good like putting away murders, rapists and child molester.

But no your feelings were hurt so you are going to sue some one who expressed their right to free speech. You need to grow up and the government needs to stop allowing this kind of thing to clog up our judicial system. They also need to stop making and changing laws that will keep them in office and suit their needs.

This is America Land of the Free and Home of the Brave not land of the free unless you do something we dont like or will make it so dont get re-elected. Wake Up AMERICA !!! Lets all pull together to make This Nation great again as We ARE The People.

Zynga What Are Thinking ???



Hi everyone I just wanted say I am pissed so lets get right to it.

Zynga what are you thinking these days??? You come out with a great new feature that helped alot of people get issues with all their games fixed quickly and by some nice customer service reps. So what do you do, you remove it and force everyone and even tell them to use the forums to get answers. ARE YOU KIDDING ME !!! Are you all smoking them funny cigarettes again or do you really dont give a crap about your users. Oh wait, you are Zynga I forgot you just dont give a shit.

You finally had something your users could use to get real time issues resolved right on the spot most times. Now you want them to go to the forums where even your moderators dont know where to find stuff. Nice move buttheads.

Have you ever put in a support ticket and got something fixed in a timely fashion. You should try it sometime I bet your ticket either gets ignored or you get a canned answer of we are working on it and you will have answer in 48 - 72 hours and then the issue is never resolved. You will have to submit another ticket and that one you dont even get an answer on. I am telling you just try it you will see !!!

I cant imagine why you would remove a perfectly good thing. Oh wait maybe I can, it has to be my fault. I pimped it out to over 100,000 people and I know they did to so the only logical thing that comes to mind is you were overwhelmed by all the people who had issues and you didn't have the staff to handle it. Ok my bad. I am sorry LMAO. NOT!!!

We know why you removed it you saw how many people really did have issues and panicked cause that means you would of had to do some work. That would also mean happy customers and you couldn't have that. An upset customer keep you getting free press and your name on the front burner.

Well all I have to say Zynga is you have your disgruntled users back. We are all yours again. We are stuck with that crappy forum again and putting in tickets that will never get answered. Nice Job you are probably gonna lose another 5 million or so users. I am being to think your company is run by idiots AHH who am I kidding I already knew that and so does the rest of the world.

And what is up with you coming out with all these lame mystery animals. WTF !!! you were doing well there when you unveiled the good high end loot items and then you follow it up with this. GEEZ that must be some good stuff you are smoking over there.


You really need to get back to the basics and have teams concentrate on just one game at a time. Fix the bugs and issues and stop coming out with crap.

Well if I continue I will give myself a head ache. I will leave you with this Zynga try what we have suggested. Get some users who are high level players who really know the ins and outs of the game compared to your staff.And let them beta test things for you and then give you reports on what works and what doesn't. Dont leave it to the people in the forum to just give your ideas. USE BETA TESTERS !!!

P.S. Bring back the One On One Live Chat again or you will find yourself out of business especially when EA Games/Playfish, Sony, and all the big boys come into the social gaming industry for real.

Mafia Wars 2nd Anniversary Celebrations





Summer is here, and Mafia Wars is heating up! We are celebrating 2 years of crime with some exciting events starting this weekend.

Gone in 60 hours – Chop Shop Celebration



Got the need for speed? Starting Friday, your Chop Shop is shifting into high gear. For 60 hours only, you can build twice as many cars (one car every 12 hours), all Chop Shop construction materials and car parts (including special parts like Solar Panels), and all Chop Shops will be able to build the exclusive limited-edition Future Shock 1985.

This pimped-out car not only has a healthy attack and defense, but it also provides you with additional energy, stamina and health.

This weekend is the perfect time to step up your chop shop. A stash of Chop Shop construction parts headed to New York was hijacked, and we’re sharing the wealth with you. You’ll have enough materials to step up your Chop Shop by one level or start your Chop Shop if you haven’t done so already. And with three new cars, it’s time to set up your mafia with the fastest and most furious cars that crime can buy.

Challenge Mission: South Africa



As the world’s gaze turns to South Africa and the conclusion of the Global Cup, you’ve prepared for the boldest Challenge Mission yet - fixing the biggest sport game in the world.


Success won’t be easy. The plan involves pulling off the largest gold heist that Africa has ever seen, and blackmailing the almost impeachable match referees to rig the game.

To continue the celebration, all mastery progress for Challenge Mission: South Africa will be doubled this weekend. Take this chance to get ahead with your progress as you’ll need it to get access to awesome new rewards for this challenge.

Mafia Wars "Must Play Weekend"

Mafia Wars: Las Vegas is almost here , and this Saturday, July 3rd, you’ll get a chance to loot exclusive “Vegas Chips”. These chips will give you an advantage when Vegas releases, so you’d better collect as many as you can get ahead of your Mafia rivals. If that wasn’t enough, Sunday and Monday (4th and 5th of July) will be a special double-double event.

You’ll get twice the job mastery and twice the fight loot while fighting in New York, Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok. Use this opportunity to equip your Mafia to prepare for Las Vegas, as good Weapons, Armor, Vehicles and Animals will be even more vital to facing the challenge of controlling the brutal underworld of Sin City.

Mafia Wars fans, clear out your weekend for some serious crime time.
