The People Vs. Common Sense
Mogg writes "GamerGod.com has a new article up entitled "The People Vs. Common Sense, A Citizen's View at Michigan's SB-0146 Law," commenting on the new Michigan state video game law. "Have we made absolutely certain books and movies are not degrading the minds of our children and video games and all computerized representation of violent and sexual acts are the cause of an increase of depraved sociopaths??" Very nicely written piece.

... [just a sec] ... Sorry, my mom just came in my room with my breakfast, I tell her to knock but she just doesn't listen
... anyway back to what I was saying, I've been playing video games religiously for 30 years and it has not affected my social development in the least
I have been an avid video gamer for 30 years and it has not
Well, at least not in most children's bibles. The adult versions are of course much more blue, to keep the flock entertained.

I can attest to this.
I KNOW i would not be the fat-ass I am today had it not been all those long hours watching pac-man consume every damn energy pellet in existence.
damned greedy, spherical nuisance still haunts my feedings!!!
Video games? Violence on TV? Of course, we know better. We know who's to blame. Blame Canada!
When the policeman of the tie, rule you violate, hello punishment of the kitty?

Wow, it's as if the Dead Kennedys had returned, having had their sense of humor surgically removed.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
Uh, maybe the author has a decent vocabulary? Contrary to what many would have you believe these days, people don't actually use phrases like "lolz!!1! @ da senate" and "dat law iz teh sux0r" when writing articles, etc.

He used two "?" and you want *more* punctuation ?
So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!
Perchance the author was moderately circumlocutory, however I am willing to stipulate that his circulatory pump is within the correct locus.

I looked at your photos, can I get a date with your sister?
Know what I like about atheists? I've yet to meet one that believes God is on their side.
Look, if I build a thing from scratch, it's my RIGHT to do anything with it I damned well please, so long as it doesn't infringe anybody else's rights.
If I write a computer program, I can erase it, particularly if it's buggy as hell. If I build a computer I can take a sledgehammer to it.
God built you from scretch (He even made the clay he fashioned you from), therefore he has the absolute right to do anything with you He wants, including killing your sorry ass. If someone beside God kills you, that entity has infringed God's God given property rights.
Now, if you don't believe in God, what in the hell are you reading the Bible for? There is absolutely nothing in the Bible for an athiest or a Heathen, save the possibility of finding God.
And once you find him, don't be surprised when he erases your sorry ass.
Man didn't create God... Guns created people.
er... wait!

Carol vs. Ghost
If I had a dime for every proposed anti-video-game legislation, I'd beat a politician to death with a sack of dimes.
It sounds like the author is one of the people who wouldn't be able to get his hands on any M-rated games anymore.
So is having children out of wedlock copyright infringement?

"people of faith as simple-minded peons who have no understanding of logic and who rapidly embrace hypocrisy"
Ah, I see you've met them.
I know it can be a little aggravating if it's coming from the car next to you, but what exactly do have against rap music? Or are you comparing the antics of our present day musicians to the Crusader Knights?
So is having children out of wedlock copyright infringement?
No, but it's probably a violation of that big, fat EULA (a.k.a. "The Bible").
sig? Oh, that sig...
So let me get this straight... your advocating the next Quake engine licence to go to the Children's Television Network? Some sort of a game where you run around trying to give an incredibly textured Big Bird a hug?
Sounds great, i'm all for it.
Oh sure, you'd totally see groups of knights reading Chaucer at high volume while they slowly trot by on their pimped out stallions, the front hooves bouncing up and down in an effort to impress.
Literalism isn't a form of humor, it's you being irritating.
