We know that sometimes kids who are never exposed to alcohol until they are 19 or 21 can go way overboard the first time... is there a possibility of the same thing happening with violent video games?
It's well known that the anglo-saxons are quite uptight (read: screwed-up) when it comes to alcohol; they'll lock-up the alcohol in the house and will never drink it before the children.
Of course, the children derive from this that alcohol must be shit-kicking stuff, and suddenly, they can drink the stuff, so naturally they overindulge.
Contrast this to the french who expose their kids to alcohol as young as 8 years old. Usually, a kid gets plastered once between 12 and 14 year old, and after that, it seldom happens again. When the kid gets old enough to legally drink the stuff, he has no reason to overindulge.
However, even such a thing won't work, because there are still too many engineering fuckups; too often those are caused by a goddammed accountant sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong. Likewise, programmers won't be exempt from accountant (and PHBs) pressures.
And the hippocratic oath never prevented the nazis doctors from doing their experiments on prisoners.
What you need is something stronger, like the Suk School of Medidine, but those are awefully expensive...
Those Textronix printers aren't even worth the power to blow their little printheads to bits, let alone for buying ink for. Anyone who hears the words "Phaser III" knows exactly from whence I speak.
Now I know why a friend of mine insisted to give me TWO of those!!!
??? In bus terminals waiting room, I'd understand but your reply seems to imply that they do it on the bus, too... But asking for ID is illegal; only the cops can do it, and then only if you're arrested.
Once and for all, will people please note that driving is a PRIVILEGE, not a right. So it is not subject to all those constitutional rights hoopla, and the "due process" can be summarized as expediously as possible by the proper use of technology. No one blinks at the mention of putting event recorders in aircraft and locomotives, so one should not blink either at the same concept applied to automobiles.
After all, the automobile killed more people than wars (including those against drugs and/or terrorism)!
I'm sorry, but at least the part of California I'm in has so much voter fraud (and other screwups) that it's not funny. Examples:
My next-door neighbor's mother died a few years ago. She keeps getting voter info, and keeps going to the clerk to get her mother removed from the rolls.
On election day vans full of people show up at the polls to register-and-vote.
Then the van goes to another polling place, and another...
Over four thousand absentee ballots were addressed to the same house in Berkeley.
Sounds just like the elections in Québec! Last time, the (big-money loving) liberals got nailed for big time election fraud. So, in return, the (socialist) government passes a law to make compulsory the production of ID prior to vote, if there is the slightest doubt about the voter's identity. The only ones bitching about it are the liberals and big-business...
What the Reps. Moran and Davis don't realize is that if biometric security measures were in place, that would just mean that we would have retinal measurements and fingerprints on eight dead hijackers.
In concept, no. In practice, yes. Current CA driver's licenses encode each piece of data printed on the front into the magnetic stripe on the back. Businesses have begun swiping licenses and ID cards for age verification and capturing the other data for demographic purposes.
Just degauss the mag stripe. Voilà, problem solved.
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all- knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!
40 years ago, my father worked for a big British company. One day, the company decided to reward his oldest pensioneer. They went through the records, and found somewhere in India a 105 year old guy who was employed at the turn of the century as a janitor or/and doorman.
Amazed that a man would live so long, the London head-office naturally sent for the old man.
But they found nobody: turns out that the guy died some 30 years before. As he was illiterate, he endorsed his pension cheques with his thumbprint. When he died, the family "forgot" to notify the company, and they still cashed the cheques with his thumb, which was neatly mummified right after they cut it off...
It still doesn't justify killing kids. I went to Disney as a kid. You want kids to die to justify your political desires?
I went, too. Found it extroardinarly phoney (and this was 25 years ago, before it started to become increasingly commercial and maintenance was let slip).
Plenty of kids are already killed to line the pockets of the automobile industry. So what's wrong with killing a few kids to make sure the United States stops being subverted by a handful of moviemakers???
Sorry, but your sig is sickening. You wanted him to blow up an amusement park full of children?
It's not an amusement park, it's a dumbing station for the masses, operated by the very same croporation that want to ban the very computer you are reading this (a croporation that was founded by a neurotic control freak, by the way).
The only way to do that is to refuse to accept the registered letter. In that case, it's assumed that you've automatically agreed to whatever terms are stated in the letter.
Trust me, refusing to accept a communications is not a valid defense against a legal demand.
Perhaps in the hickstown you live in, but in civilized countries, you can weasel yourself out of rent increases by not accepting any registered mail around the time when the legal notices are due... And the rental tribunal will *NOT* grant rent increases when the legal notice wasn't acknowledged.
They've got small dicks, for sure, but that's absolutely not a handicap: they have extremely hard hard-ons, can have multiple orgasms, and they produce at least three times more sperm per ejaculation than whites, hence the high number of chinese.

This is an old technology. more information here.
Just ride the dog.
Given the high number of bible-thumpers, it's no surprise that science is a big DUH? to many yankees!!!

What, did Signal 11 dig oriental chicks too???
Now, that's a chick I can dig!!!
A real good challenge would be Linux for Furby...
