It gets a lot more interesting when you download new sceneries just to spice things up. Otherwise, I have to admit that I'm starting to get bored of the Microsoft Flight Sims series. I mean, there's not enough change between the new versions and the old ones.I hope they'll get better in the next one.

Considering I do not know anyone In The Real World that falls where I do I think I have classified myself sufficiently, but anyway if you wish, this is a platform I wrote for a party in a Model Parliament and pretty much describes my beliefs: Preamble: All people are equal, regardless of colour, ethnicity, gender, or any other petty way we humans choose to segregate ourselves. All people, however, are not the same, and it is the differences between us, the great diversity of human life, that makes our society so great. With these thoughts in mind, the Leftist Democratic Party, proclaims itself in favour of creating a democratic society, where all people are given a full equal opportunity to succeed. We believe that the way to accomplish this is through the protection of the rights of the worker and indeed all people, along with a strong government to meet the basic needs of its citizens. Governmental Structure: The Government of Eleutheria should be dedicated to improving the standard of living of all Eleutherians and protecting their inherent and constitutional rights. To accomplish this, the Government of must be able to provide basic social services, such as, health care, welfare, and social security, yet still not be the ever watching eye on its citizens. Corruption and abuse of this system by employees of the government and contractors of the government shall be punished in the harshest way allowable by law. Protection for the Least All people of Eleutheria must be guaranteed a minimum standard of living. The Leftist Democratic Party believes these main points will fulfil this responsibility to all citizens. A minimum wage that allows workers to afford what is necessary for themselves and their families A government funded healthcare and health insurance system that provides for both basic medical functions and procedure, but also protects citizens from catastrophic medical costs resulting from major procedures. A welfare system put in place to aid those unable to find work that provides benefits by putting people to work in non-competitive government provided jobs. Free access to essential utilities including phone service and electricity. Social Security services for the Elderly that include pensions and full health coverage. Human Rights All humans have the intrinsic rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We of the LDP believe that just as important as the natural rights are the right to thought, speech, and equal treatment. We affirm our commitment to the right of all humans to hold their own opinions. We believe that the ability of all people to express these opinions is one of the most important rights and must always be protected. However, when this right is abused to cause physical harm or to incite hate against individuals or groups of people, the government has the ability to act against the individual abusing his/her right. The right of all people to receive equal treatment both by the government, but also in the workplace and private life. Therefore we oppose any type of discrimination whether it is based on Race, Religion, Ethnicity, Sex, or Sexual Orientation. Workers Rights Our society is built on the contributions of its workers; therefore, the LDP believes that the rights of these persons must be protected and enshrined in our nations laws. The first right of the workers is that of collective bargaining and the ability to organize. The LDP will support workers that wish to unionize or organize themselves in anyway to collectively bargain with their employers. The workers also have the right to strike; however, the government reserves the right to intervene in strikes. Workers must also know that their work places will be safe. Any condition that represents a clear danger to workers is not allowed and the government will mandate regular inspections to make sure workplace safety is maintained. No organization shall hire based upon Race, Religion, Ethnicity, Sex, or Sexual Orientation. Education Education is fundamentally a right not a privilege. All schooling should be free and not be affected by economic or social conditions in an area. To make sure all Eleutherians receive a basic education schooling until the age of 18 in mandatory and some type of more specialized learning beyond that is strongly encouraged. The ability to read is a skill all Eleutherians need; therefore, a mandatory reading exam must be passed before a student is allowed the pass the fifth grade. To help students develop this skill, reading classes will be offered in an after school setting in both English and Spanish. Private schools will be allowed to operate, but cannot receive governmental funding. Healthcare Any government has an obligation to keep its citizenry healthy. The LDP supports a strong governmental presence in the healthcare and health insurance industries. By both bargaining with the pharmaceutical industry and taking a direct part in providing healthcare, Eleutheria can make this basic service available to all citizens. However, we recognize that the profits derived from selling these drugs are what provide the resources to discover and produce new and ever more helpful compounds. This research should be encouraged by providing funding to institutions and organizations that discover and develop pharmaceuticals. Foreign Affairs and Defense Defense of Eleutheria should be secondary to Social Concerns, only maintaining the military at a level necessary for self-defence and humanitarian missions. In all things relating to Foreign Affairs Eleutheria wishes to act in a multilateral fashion, working with other nations to improve our standing in the world. Eleutheria denounces military action taken in an aggressive manner. Taxes and the Economy As in all things, the Economy should provide for the standard of living for all Eleutherians not just a few. The LDP supports a strong state presence in the economy in the form of a regulator, making sure that corporations to do not abuse workers or the trust put in them the Eleutherian people. Taxation should be income based, so as to place an equal burden on all citizens. A far lower rate will be put in place on the poor and middle-class, while the upper class of Eleutheria should be expected to have a high tax rate on their incomes. Food and other essentials should never be taxed. Environment The Environment is a fragile and precious thing that must be protected in every way possible. This should include regulation of Eleutherias oil industry to make sure they do as little harm to the environment as possible. Mass transportation should be implemented in all possible cases and be funded by a tax upon gasoline sales. A tax will also be implemented on vehicles that do not meet a minimum gas mileage level, while vehicles that have better gas mileage will have tax incentives added to make their purchase more desirable. The LDP also supports a cabinet level Environmental Minister to oversee regulation of the natural resources of Eleutheria.

When it comes to CSS, there are still no perfect software up the task, so you are really best off coding your style sheets yourself. Also by doing that, you'll benefit understanding how it really works, and it's always a good thing to understand.
