Read this. An great article about video game censorship and why the govt has already lost

I was under the impression that school shootings haven't gone up, but news coverage of them has. I'll have to go look that up. Whatever the case, the news doesn't report things to inform the public. They report what will get them ratings, which is generally scare tactics and sensationalism.

Edit: Well, apparently incidences of shootings are up, but number of deaths is pretty constant. I would attribute part of the increase in occurences to excessive media coverage promoting the idea.

To these crusty old farts the night elf dance is just as evil as Elvis' corruptive hips. It's a different generation and probably always will be; and unfortunately in the US as far as politicians go it's usually a case of voting for the lesser of two evils, not because you actually like anyone unless you're already a biased supporter of one side(the ass/donkey) or the other(the fat retard/elephant); or completely apathetic in the first place.

Far as our current presidential bs goes...personally I see more Charisma from Obama than Hilary...(Bill Clinton was awesome btw so no bias against her, and not because of his controversy ;p); the problem is noone really ever fulfills half their promises, it's all about sounding good and making the other sound bad. It's like a flamewar except the retards don't end up banned. :P

I just wait for the day the gaming generation grows up and starts to take positions of power...should be interesting to see if their l33t micromanagement/resource management/minmaxing skillz pay off in those situations :p

I can see paper headlines now..."President l33t Wang Johnson declares War on North Korea! Expecting a zerg rush, President Wang has constructed additional pylons along both coasts, and has posted sentry turrets and siege tanks at the borders to Mexico and Canada. When asked for his comment, North Korea's dictator Hyug Zerg Ling responded "WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS AND ARE SPAWNING ADDITIONAL OVERLORDS; SOON WE WILL BE IN UR BASE, KILLIN UR DOODZ." - Sources say America's current major Ally, Japan, has begun warping in Stargates for a Carrier Pincer assault. Attempts to confirm this were met by anti-Press Probes whose only response was a sort of robotic "Meow"."

twas for the double wall effect :P

on another note, as someone did bring up the whole Obama vs Clinton thing, I just can't bite my tongue and have to ask something as a naive and somewhat ignorant foreigner..

Why do they fight each other, distort and harm the other's image, badmouth, accuse etcetcetc..? Just like the republicans.. I just don't get it..

Surely it would make more sense to accuse republicans of something or vice versa.. so instead of infighting.. make it Republicans vs Democrats.. I just don't see the point of destroying someone’s reputation if it means your party might not get elected at all..

I realise in the US it's more about the candidates. But wouldn't it make more sense to secure the Democrat or Republican side first, before campaigning to see which of the party's representatives wins the actual election?
I mean, if for instance Obama and Clinton managed to destroy each others reputation so much, that most democrats wouldn't even vote for them, doesn't it defeat the point of having political parties at all? as the democrats wouldn't be elected even if the policies the republicans set out were ludicrous and immensely damaging to the US as a whole.
Same thing applies in reverse (but it seems to me McCain has the republican vote already, no?)

Not trying to offend anyone, I just don't get it entirely :S
