Hillary, GTA, and High School Football
The LA Times is running a really worthwhile story discussing the recent attack on video games in congress. It talks about GTA, the decline in youth violence, and mentions that football actually encourages real aggression, causes real injuries, and is treated totally differently. It's worth a read. Unfortunately I'm fairly certain that very few U.S. Senators are listening over the sound of hype.
Story? This isn't a new article. It is an opinion piece. Can't the submitter read, or is he just trying to generate more controversy?
Anonymous Cowards suck.
Don't blame me. I voted Libertarian.
Actually, it will the Constitution keeping him in. I'm not American myself, but what I understand is that the constitution has the election date set in stone and NOTHING can change it. All it would take would be a 9-11 type event, a little marshal law, and bingo, four more years. You can't legally elect another one, so you are stuck. All that could happen is that Bush would be forced to step down, but the "danger" to the country would be his cue for sticking around some more.
There are tons of morons out there voting for The New Aged GOP and their "conservative family values" and "killing those same families overseas" because "it's the right thing to do!"
Yeah, and the sad thing is that the rest of the morons are voting for The Left Wing Liberals and their "everybody needs to just send all your money in to the government and let us spend it for you because everyone should be completely dependent upon the government for all their needs" and "the rest of the world knows better how we should live so let them govern us" messages.
"He really puts an effort into doing what he thinks the people of CT really want"
Actually, I think he puts a large effort into making you believe that, without actually doing anything productive.
You know, like all other politicians.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
I think it is more of a goverment knows what's best for your children because we want them growing up dependent on us so we can become more powerful... And typically a liberal view...
No.
That is an evil view.
Actual liberals have peoples best interests at heart.

Are you aware that the United States is in violation of UN mandate?
Chapter VII resolutions are the only UN resolutions that are enforceable in any context. The United States has never been the subject of a Chapter VII resolution. Iraq, on the other hand, was in violation of 17 of them. Try to keep your comparisons on topic.
Are you aware that the United States has recently supported (perhaps currently supporting) terrorists?
It has never been US policy to support terrorism or use terrorism to achieve its goals. Your moral equivalence is crap.
Did you know that to some degree, every nation on the face of the earth is a threat to every other nation's national security?
The UN security council sat down 17 times and unanimously decided that Iraq's weapons were a threat to international peace and security, and they specifically authorized the use of military force to disarm them of those weapons. This is not some story that President Bush cooked up to justify an invasion- this is documented history. Why are you trying to downplay that?

I think you need to put that joke back in the oven. It's not done yet.

Most Canadians aren't deathly ill.
You think socialized medicine is a good idea. That's fine...you're entitled to your opinion. I certainly believe that the American system has serious issues, but having a State-run insurance program is not, repeat, NOT the solution.
