  1. Re:As they should! on Penny Arcade Makes Time 100 · · Score: 1

    That's because we still have entire generations alive who do not play video games. People who are currently in their 30s grew up playing video games. When those people are the oldest generation, we'll see a massive shift in acceptance of video games as culturally significant.

  2. Re:I swear.... on California's Santa Clara County Bans Happy Meal Toys · · Score: 1

    So instead of having parents who have to deal with temper tantrums from their five year old child who wants a toy with their hamburger, we'll now have parents who don't know how to deal with petulant twelve year olds who want to know why they fuck their "girlfriend."

    Brilliant. Let's move the bar to becoming good parents even lower.

    Government's job is to regulate everything?

    You couldn't be more wrong.

    Yeah, because parents who for whatever chose to go to McDonalds for dinner instead of cooking will change their mind because the kids meal doesn't come with a toy anymore.

    You're so gullible, you must be a Democrat.

    Our president smokes. What kind of message does that send to kids?

    Fuck politicians.

    It's called a fucking kitchen. Use it or shut the hell up. It's not the world's job to provide for your kid.

  8. Re:I swear.... on California's Santa Clara County Bans Happy Meal Toys · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So you think that removing toys from kids meals will make parents who previously fed their children fast food every day suddenly start cooking healthy meals?

    If so, you're as deluded as the morons in California.

    Bad parents will still be bad parents.

  9. Re:You don't say on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen either of those shows, but I love Always Sunny, especially when Charlie sings his song about "the good lord going down on me!"

    If the hijackers had done that instead of crashing it into a building full of civilians, I think a lot of us would have thanked them.

    That was great. I almost burst into tears of laughter at the line about Stallman.

    Powerful government frequently encourages such behavior.

    Actually, the problem with diesel is not that right wingers thin it's commie juice, it's that leftist hippies think that diesel make kittens cry acid rain tears as they're being killed.

  14. Re:We need more of these articles on NYC Drops $722M On CityTime Attendance System · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if government spent more time on the things that *have* to be done than most of the useless shit they do, we could get smaller and more accountable government at the same time.

    There are other parties on the ballot. Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Socialist. The only vote wasted is one that you use on someone of whom you disapprove.

    I'm sure Rush will leave the US just like all those high profile Democrats did after Bush won like they said they would. Oh wait...

    Fucking hell, it's gets old hearing the same lies again and again. Medicare has low overhead because they shift all of the administrative burden to the provider.

    A mugger with a gun is a murderer who hasn't pulled the trigger yet. What's the purpose of having the gun if they're not willing to use it?

    Clearly the west isn't interested, so I'm just going to have to wait for some Chinese company to build a cheap, wireless web tablet. That's all I want. Nothing more, nothing less. If I want to do anything that actually requires a computer, I'll use a real computer.

    A full laptop can also do a lot more than the iPad. Pads need to get to the $200-300 range before we see widespread adoption. That's why I was excited for the Crunchpad until was stillbirthed.

    It actually makes less sense. Why would I pay twice as much for this output device than I would pay for an iPhone? If it's not meant for input anyways, might as well get the cheaper, more portable version.

    If the purpose of a tool is to cut things, why would you be surprised when the same thing it does to wood it does to fingers? You and people like you need to be culled from the herd.

    Really? Is this the most damning evidence? On a scale of 1 being least damning and 10 being most damning where does this fall when also considering that Viacom was uploading videos to YouTube in an effort to make YouTube look like it was infringing?
