I had to read your post like 5 times before I understood J&R to be Jump & Run. Didn't help that (for me at least) J.R. are common initials for a couple things. >.>
Let me get this straight. You didn't pay for it 10 years ago, and you think that is justification to play it now in order to avoid buying new games? Try-before-you-buy this ain't.
As I said, with that attitude, of course they don't. It's a catch-22. You don't want to give them a chance because they are unelectable, and they are unelectable because no one wants to give them a chance.
Well of course with that kind of attitude they are "unelectable". Fortunately, some of us vote for the "unelectable" anyway, in order to show others that, yes, they do in fact have a fucking chance.
God came to me in a dream last night. He told me that not all abortions are created equal, people are stupid for trying to codify into law what is and is not an "acceptable" abortion, and the only ones who should be involved in any given abortion decision are Himself, the mother, her doctor, and if the mother so desires, the father as well.
A religious person deserves about as much respect as a member of the KKK... even if he himself has not done anything wrong, he is supporting an organization with a long history of Hate and suppression (sometimes even murder).
Just so we're clear, judging from the rest of the post that final line is referencing just Christians? Otherwise you're condemning people for the simple act of philosophizing about the universe. You don't need to belong to an organization to be religious after all.
So you would have no problem with me going into your house without your permission and rummaging around (the means) in order to help stop thefts, murders, assassinations, etc, before they are committed (the ends)?
Angsty teen makes good after everyone believes in him?
Unless I am misunderstanding which film you are referring to, you appear to have an unusual definition of "teen". From Wikipedia...
In 1989, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), an innovative software engineer and the CEO of ENCOM International, tells his seven-year-old son Sam (Owen Best) about a new "digital frontier" he has created called The Grid. [...] Twenty years later, Sam is visited by Kevin's friend and ENCOM executive Alan Bradley [...]
Never did understand why password sharing seems to be universally frowned upon. Sure, you shouldn't give out access to your bank account to a total stranger, but for some things and some people it makes sense. I mean, you wouldn't object to giving your spouse a copy of the house key, would you?
The "sweeping generalisation" was that people who type slowly will type less.
I thought the "sweeping generalization" was that programmers who type slowly will intentionally avoid detailed comments and descriptive variable names.
Not to mention that comparing programming to playing a piano is just plain wrong. A more accurate comparison would be to compare programming to composing a piece of music to be played on a piano.
Ok then, you are shitty at whatever job it is that you do. It doesn't matter that I have no idea what that job entails, I still somehow know that you are shitty at it.
Up until now I thought it was the same technique that was used in X-Men 3 on Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. So it was actually fully CG?
Curiously, it wasn't until the very end with the closeup where his face looked fake to me, and I figured that was just because of what was happening in the scene.
The 3d was completely un-needed and I wish the theater I saw it at had a non-3d version.
Isn't that a bit like saying of The Wizard of Oz that "the color was completely un-needed and I wish the theater I saw it at had a black-and-white version"?
Having never actually served on a jury, how exactly would a juror go about learning what a phrase means if everyone was acting like it's supposed to be common knowledge? Do they just, like, raise their hand and ask?
The only thing going straight to the land-fill is cat litter in a plastic bag.
Every time I hear something like that, I think to myself, "when did 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust' turn into 'ashes to plastic, plastic to eternity'?".
I coulda sworn a few others were already there too. At the very least, Gish was, because I remember thinking about buying it from Steam for a while, then the Humble Bundle came out.
Also, Osmos from this Humble Bundle is on Steam too.
And you wonder why you get modded troll so much....
Dude, chill. Have a beer, get laid, do something, but chill. No where am I saying this was a good decision. All I am saying is that, yes, this is in fact the same as Bradley Manning. Despite our (I'm on your side fool!) feelings that this should not be, it presently is. As a result, should we choose to not follow this law and get caught, they will try to punish us.
I guess you could say that, if you know you'd be bringing out all the guns (both figuratively and literally) in order to fight being punished for it, in that regard it is different. But I think most people can see this as "He did something he knew he'd be punished for if caught, you did something you knew you'd be punished for if caught, so same thing".
By living in this society you have "signed a contract" agreeing to be bound by its laws. If you choose to break any of those laws and are caught, you will be punished, regardless of if it is a "good law" or a "stupid law which infringes on our inalienable rights".
You're not seriously suggesting that you have the right to break certain laws and not be punished, are you? I could be mistaken, but haven't you stated in the past that anyone who supports freedom should be willing to spend time in jail?
Your response is to compare me to a guy who is equivalent to Benedict Arnold (sharing secrets with a foreigner)???
I'm not sure you know who Bradley Manning is. To be fair, I definitely didn't till I looked him up on Wikipedia. So it could be that you know something about him that I missed in my brief skim, but here's what I did find.
Manning claimed, via instant messaging, to be the person who had leaked the "Collateral Murder" video of a helicopter airstrike on July 12, 2007, in Baghdad.
In case you weren't aware, that would be this video.

You presume all abortions are created equal. Your premise is faulty from the start.

He told me that not all abortions are created equal, people are stupid for trying to codify into law what is and is not an "acceptable" abortion, and the only ones who should be involved in any given abortion decision are Himself, the mother, her doctor, and if the mother so desires, the father as well.

So that puts Sam at 27.
How do you know you're one of the affected users? Did you download the file and find your email address?

And upon posting, I notice the same thing was basically already said. Ah well.

Doesn't really make sense, does it?
The Wizard of Oz used color to differentiate Oz from RL, just as Tron Legacy used 3D to differentiate between the computer world and RL.
But maybe my disinterest in The Wizard of Oz (just the 1939 film) is clouding me from seeing how it differs.
Up until now I thought it was the same technique that was used in X-Men 3 on Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. So it was actually fully CG?

Never said you should just accept it, just don't be surprised when they come to punish you for breaking their laws.
The only thing going straight to the land-fill is cat litter in a plastic bag.

THAT'S the law dummkopf.

The difference is I did not sign a contract
