@Phoenix: Wouldn't you still consider the world wide epidemic Wesker was planning a biohazard?

A biohazard is when a vial of anthrax is dropped in a government lab. What Wesker was planning was a holocaust.

Well, true, but it still would've been a holocaust caused by a worldwide biohazard.

That's how every president is elected.

Yes and I do prefer the electoral college over a direct popular vote, however I recently proposed an alternative electoral system where each state counts as one vote, and the people in that state decide who their state votes for.[/quote]

That's an interesting idea, although I think it favors too much the winner-take-all system. An idea I had would be to divy it up further so that different regions of states can have votes toward their preferred candidates. In the current scenario, I feel that millions of people are basically disenfranchised in the presidential elections since all electoral votes go toward the preferred candidate even if the popular vote on the ground was very close.

Same here, except maybe Ron Paul, even though I disagree with him on several issues, I recognize that he is honest and will stand by what he says.

Indeed that would be a problem, though in theory the president (or any federal politician / branch of government for that matter) wouldn't have all that much power to begin with, aside from foreign policy.

A preferential voting system might help against a winner-takes-all system and by helping third parties and independent candidates have a greater chance of being electorally successful. Here's a video regarding preferential voting that you may find interesting and informative, I know I did:

Can we not make this thread into political debate? Thank you.

Are you implying Obama isn't a tyrant? That fucker has no respect for freedom, democracy, the Constitution, or gun rights. He wasn't elected into office he was chosen by the Electoral College and how did his campaign get it's funding? Through Wallstreet billionaires like George Kaiser, they're the ones who really put him in power. He is no-doubt rigging the 2012 "election" and he is undoubtedly trying to force himself into a position of "President for Life," it's only a matter of time before he abolishes term limits. He has all the characteristics of a dictator, and you know what they say: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably a duck."

This is stupid. Politics is shady all over the place, not just with Obama. You can't possibly claim to know some democratic nominee is the devil and that some republican doesn't do the exact same things the dem does to get elected. Just make an Off Topic thread about this instead of totally derailing this thread before even TWO pages have been made. Back to the topic at hand.

EDIT: Here is a thread for Phoenix. http://www.residentevilforums.net/t3661-phoenix-and-politics#73261

Back to original topic: I'd have to give my vote to Resident Evil. I just feel like it resonates better for the series, and is more in depth. (IMO)

Well, as nonsensical as it is, I like 'Resident Evil'. It's definitely because that's what I'm used to calling it. Even after finding out what the original name is, and that frankly, it's better.. I don't care. It's a bit like the 'Dr. Robotnik situation'. He's called 'Eggman' now. He has always been called that in Japan and the Far East, only old SEGA didn't like the name for Western audiences, so changed it to 'Robotnik'. A few years back, they gave Robotnik his real name everywhere. While it's his original name, and obviously he is egg-shaped, I greatly prefer Robotnik.

Not the best analogy, as 'Eggman' just sounds really lame whilst 'Biohazard' sounds very cool. It's just a question of what I'm used to. I like the Western name for Biohazard. Has a nice zing to it.

I used to think Eggman and Robotnik were completely different people.

Well, I do like Resident Evil better because I'm use to it as well. It's like the last string of survival horror left in the series. Biohazard works better, but I like Resident Evil more.

I could try and get used to Biohazard.

Despite the fact that all my RE games are.. well. Resident Evil.

I could always put a sticky note on them see how it fits and all that.

I prefer name Resident Evil but not only because Im used to call it that.
Biohazard is like.. Biohazard. It's universal word with simple interpretation. It doesn't sound personal for the game as there are several occasions you can use that word of.
Resident Evil is more ambiguous - or at least it feels that way to me who's native languange is not english.
I don't know how to explain it but maybe someone understands my point..

So. There was an evil Resident. huh.

To me it's more like "evil living in" or "evil inhabit in/at" without explanation where. It could be anywhere.

Ehh. That works out well.
