    Yes, of course it is. I never said otherwise, but a statement of fact is simply that. Personal responsibility is a real thing. Without proof of incompetence a person is responsible for the things he/she does. How is that open to opinion? The age when that person becomes responsible is a matter of opinion. Most car rental companies set that age at 25, when the brain solidifies, or they did many years ago. Some state governments will tell you it's 14 or 15. So before that, personal responsibility is the parents' responsibility (up to 18).

    Such is all of human history... One young punk tried to tell the world has changed, and I had to reply, no it hasn't, it has just accelerated.

  7. Clinton married well.

    I have to assume you're talking about Bill.

    I'm sure you know the story. When told of a report that Hillary once said said that Bill has a small penis. He replied, "That's just like the press to distort things. The truth is that she has a big mouth".

    In another interview back in the 90s, Hillary was asked who she would be married to if she hadn't married Bill, and she said, "I would be married to the President of the United States".

    We are simply on our own.

    If you can, get a caller ID machine that allows you to create a white list of numbers that can get through and send all others straight to the answering machine which you can later blacklist from getting in at all. Works for email, I whitelist my inbox in order to take care of old business before wrestling with new business going into the spam box.

    Oops, sorry, The question was rhetorical. It's just that all our modern tech is turning out to be as trustworthy an an e-meter, and 20-30 years of work could be down the drain.

    It all boils down to, "statistics are evil"... They are too sloppy to be used for anything more than entertainment.

    real use of something like this would be UNDERGROUND, not above ground and thus building it would take epic amounts of oney at today's labor rates.

    Tunnel boring machines don't need a lot of humans to operate.

    What I don't like is that you can't see outside. If they don't make the tube transparent while above ground, I'll take the slow boat with a nice cabin and a restaurant.

    The crack dealer didn't make him into an addict. Or are you assuming the addict was forced to consume? Addiction is also a personal thing.

    It's not the crack dealer's fault. They're just poor misunderstood victims...

    That of course is an absurd troll. You treat the addict for his addiction, give him the power to say no. You are not "blaming" him for anything. At least I'm not. Who knows what you are saying? And let's say the drug is legal, who are you going to blame then? Walgreens? Walmart?

    Right or wrong, selectively enforced unjust law will cost the respect for all law and the people who write and enforce them. It is the example that people will follow, law or no law.

    Now, yes, Valve, being in the US is subject to US law. But that is not what I am talking about. The original theme was who is responsible for the actions of the gambler. And that was asked and answered. The law in this instance has nothing to do with the price of rice.
