I wouldn't blame videogames for the other child being aggressive.
And "linked to" violent video games isn't good enough.
If you went back to the 1930s-60s I would bet you could link smoking to driving accidents. Because most everyone smoked, most everyone in an accident would have been a smoker. So it was more likely a smoker would get in an accident.
Smoking didn't cause most of those accidents, had nothing to do with them. There has been nothing showing that violent video games cause anything.
I bet they could make a study linking aggressive driving with playing racing games or watching movies like The Fast and the Furious.
If no one complains, it moves the data further from the expectation of privacy realm.
At some point, if no one ever complains, the data on the internet won't need to be covered by privacy policies, because it is no longer considered private at all. That would be my only concern.
Especially when they don't take your car, they just turn it on to listen to the radio and see what mix CDs you have, take a picture of the CDs with the cell phone then leave everything as it was.
The high recidivism thing is actually false according to http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=17 But then, you're probably also trying to use the No True Scotsman logical fallacy with the 'real sex offenders' statement.
During 2007, a total of 1,180,469 persons on parole were at-risk of reincarceration. This includes persons under parole supervision on January 1 or those entering parole during the year. Of these parolees, about 16% were returned to incarceration in 2007.
Among nearly 300,000 prisoners released in 15 states in 1994, 67.5% were rearrested within 3 years. A study of prisoners released in 1983 estimated 62.5%.
Of the 272,111 persons released from prisons in 15 states in 1994, an estimated 67.5% were rearrested for a felony or serious misdemeanor within 3 years, 46.9% were reconvicted, and 25.4% resentenced to prison for a new crime.
These offenders had accumulated 4.1 million arrest charges before their most recent imprisonment and another 744,000 charges within 3 years of release.
Released prisoners with the highest rearrest rates were robbers (70.2%), burglars (74.0%), larcenists (74.6%), motor vehicle thieves (78.8%), those in prison for possessing or selling stolen property (77.4%), and those in prison for possessing, using, or selling illegal weapons (70.2%).
Within 3 years, 2.5% of released rapists were arrested for another rape, and 1.2% of those who had served time for homicide were arrested for homicide.
What would be really amusing would be if someone else registered MichaelKristopeit360-399 and started arguing with MichaelKristopeit300-353, that you are in fact not MichaelKristopeit, and you are hiding behind his name. Cower some more/completely pathetic/completely offtopic/completely troll/etc etc.
I'm not scared of terrorists. Are you? Politicians aren't scared of the terrorists either. They're just so scared of missing something that is actually a 'threat' the false positive rate is through the roof. But in the CYA 'curling iron is for external use only, do not use in bathtub' culture we have, wasting resources on toy robots is better than losing your job if something actually did happen. "I did everything I could!"
I agree that infringing use is probably higher, I was more saying that more 'people' use torrent technology in a non-infringing manner, not that 'torrent technology' was used more in a non-infringing manner.
I suppose the car analogy would be the roads are used by more people for personal use than commercial use, but there is more commercial use of roads than personal use.
Or the internet usage thing, where "10% of people use 90% of the bandwidth" or whatever the numbers supposedly are.

Honestly people, correlation is not causation.

But they forgot to ban books during takeoff and landing?

Strangely enough, Gamestop opens most of the games and breaks the seal on the original packaging.

why do you cower? what are you afraid of?
Michael Kristopeit is stagnated.
Assuming you had high school student council, I'm willing to bet that the winners won based on popularity (read: fame), not the ability to do the job.
are you sure you're Michael Kristopeit, and MichaelKristopeit352 isn't?
What would be really amusing would be if someone else registered MichaelKristopeit360-399 and started arguing with MichaelKristopeit300-353, that you are in fact not MichaelKristopeit, and you are hiding behind his name.

Well, whenever they find something contradictory, they simply refuse to believe it. And failing that, report to the nearest reprogramming center.
Just because the person Kirk kissed was green it doesn't count?
But then, how will we know the answer to the ultimate question:
How is babby formed?
Being paranoid? Which is what they should be don't you think?

It is relevant, if someone wants a high security flight there isn't an option for it. There is just an annoying pretend security option.
What enhanced security measures? These things don't work.
Just to be pedantic, not quite everything. Regurgitation of facts isn't.

Yes, we are trying to embrace technological advancements, but they still haven't figured out cold fusion.
