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.
"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!
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?
"The defense of freedom requires the advance of freedom" - George W Bush
You, sir, are an absolute idiot. First, you generalize liberals, which is an absolutely stupid thing to do. Second, tell me what my best interests are. Third, tell me what right "liberals" have to take my money and give to other people for the "best interests"?
