		<blockquote>Why am I so crap at Sniper and medic? 

Can I get rid of the keyboard and mouse and use a steering wheel instead?
</blockquote>

I feel I should split the first question in to two. Your issues with Sniper I imagine rise from a deep seated instinct that all Australians are convicts. Perhaps one of your ancestors was deported for stealing an amusingly titled novella about the cotton trade. As a result you have long standing issues relating to his failure to jump ship and return to your family homestead.

The Medic issue is quite simple. He doesn't have a Minigun. The lack of a phallic symbol with which to thrust bullets repeatedly into the quivering bodies of your enemies results in a Freudian feeling of unease that you cannot resolve.

You certainly can use a steering wheel. I recommend the following config,

Steering Wheel - Turning + Fire
Acc. Pedal - Forwards + Fire
Brake Pedal -  Backwards + Fire
Clutch - Jump + Fire

The numerical drought of other programmable controls does provide some issues, but if you play Pyro I doubt anyone will notice.

    	    <description><![CDATA[<i>Quoted from Tommy the Cat</i>
		<blockquote>In the Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant asserts the notion that morality is based upon a sense of duty. How is this possible if all human actions are motivated by self interest?</blockquote>

Kant challenged the latter stated assumption that was held by the hypothetical moral systems commonly held in his day with the concept of the Categorical imperative. This was in fact formulated and proposed earlier than the Critique in the Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, published in 1785 and formulated thusly:

"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law."

For the layman one might simplistically interpret this as an alternative formulation of the ethic of reciprocity, famously stated Biblically in Matthew 7:12 (alt. Luke 6:31), commonly summed as:

"One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself"

Kant argues this point further, using the concept of Pure Practical Reason (contrasted with the eponymous Pure Reason of the text as mentioned by the questioner), concluding with the resulting clause of his stated syllogism in arguing categorical imperative that one acts as if their actions did establish a universal law to be followed by others under identical circumstances.

As an aside, this discussion leads us to the ironic etymology of now bastardised spelling, where an individual acting purely in self interest in externally percieved inappropriate circumstances would be referred to as "an utter kant".]]></description>
