Illinois to Pay for Unconstitutional Gaming Law
adam_sd writes "Those of us in the Video Game Voters Network were emailed a press release today stating that the state of Illinois will have to pay a half-million dollars in attorney's fees to the Entertainment Software Association, Video Software Dealers Association and Illinois Retail Merchants Association. ESA president Douglas Lowenstein is quoted in the press release saying "Judge Kennelly's rulings send two irrefutable messages — not only are efforts to ban the sale of violent video games clearly unconstitutional, they are a waste of taxpayer dollars." The law was declared unconstitutional in December of last year."
Wait. What?
>> the law is not responsible for the actions of the devil.
It is if (s)he's a US resident.
>> Australia has a VERY vibrant gambling scene.
They gamble on vibrator races.
Somewhere I think I hear Nelson shouting 'Hah Hah!'
"Powers. I have them."

You gotta serve somebody. It might be The Devil, or it might be the Lord, but you gotta serve somebody. . .
Or they are hearsay and inadmissable.

This is the internet - you can say "balls" here.
And Rod the Mod should spend his efforts on getting the state capitol moved to Chicago, where the Republican Party is essentially outlawed and has been since the 1930s. That way, we can avoid having any more Republican felons in the governor's office. At least it's been 30 years since we had a Democratic governor who went to the pokey.
Yes, I can say this because I'm Chicago born, bred, and resident, and I worked for the State of Illinois for six and a half years. So you can go and pound salt, you downstate GOP lick-spittle, at least until you learn how to spell "governor".
If using Linux is about choice, how come people complain when I choose to use Windows?
A Bob Dylan reference on Slashdot? I feel like Data finding his long lost android Hippe brother... If I could feel.
Oh nevermind.
if you have an issue with censoring the word "balls" then i dont recommend reading the slashdot article about the robot on a "single spherical wheel" http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08

Yes, we all know that the US is the only country prone to violence. I mean, think about all those peace-loving Europeans!
Rejected slogans for the EU Tourism Commission:
"Peaceful Europe: over a decade since our last major genocide!"
"Peaceful Europe: nearly 15 years since our last communist slave state!"
"Peaceful Europe: 30 years without a fascist regime!"
"Peaceful Europe: sure, 60 million of us were killed by our own governments in the last century, but we've learned better. Really!"
"Peaceful Europe: celebrating 500 continuous years of murdering, raping, enslaving, and looting on every continent of the globe!"
