My nieces (12 and 4) each have their own tablet, and the older one has a new computer, Xbox 360, TV bigger than ours, her own cellphone, and no less than three portable gaming consoles.
That kid is definitely spoiled and anyone who heaps that much tech on a developing mind is just asking for trouble.
god may be nonexistant but religion is what kept our society together in difficult times.
You mean difficult times like the Dark Ages? With such uniting events such as the crusades, the inquisition, the armada and many many other joyous times?
Even an atheist would admit that it is humans which were responsible...
Of course its humans that are responsible. It's the religious types that would say their particular invisible friend is the one ultimately responsible.
Claiming that an enemy that has managed to kill 3,000 people in a single day "isn't a threat" isn't rational, it isn't fear, it's denial.
You're right. Your government has managed to kill this many and more in a single day many times over, They are a massive threat. Anyone who thinks the US gov had nothing to do with it are the ones in denial.
doh, quoted wrong post, was supposed to be that one "have you even heard of snowden? have you been in a cave the last three months? or are you such a fanboi that your head is in the sand still?"
Why don't you socialists try engaging fairly for once? Because you are intellectually dishonest and liars is why. Your arguments cannot hold water, that is why you cannot abide dissent.
I'd ban the name Ministry of Sound in titles. You can't claim copyright on a playlist of songs that aren't yours and they have the legal rights to play. You can protect your name but that's it.
Anime fans probably. Being an anime fan carries a high social stigma in Japan. And of course being into anime means liking lolicon, shotacon and all those sexually perverse child porn manga and anime. Japan being the last civilised country where possession of child porn is legal. Go figure. These people are creepy as hell, so no wonder a subclass of those anime fans are even more creepy.
When you account that Japan has a very conservative and group think type kind of society, being individualistic, strange is 1000 times worse than in western societies. So its no wonder this hikikimori phenomenon is so prevalent down there.
Just because your a fan of something no one else has to know. I smoke loads of weed at home but no one at works knows a thing about it because I don't go around telling them or talking about weed related things precisely because I know the stigma and hassle it would cause me.
The majority of adults probably live empty, cynical, and ultimately unsatisfying lives
I guess you probably have plenty of company then. But you know what? I don't actually see any argument there contradicting the claim that childhood should last almost a century.
Being a child for almost a century implies you would need care givers for the same amount of time. Kids don't work, cook or clean. All they do is take. Then who's going to give birth to all these children? Kids don't have kids (mostly). Or are you saying you should just act like an immature prick till you die?

Baseball analogies don't work in the rest of the world where they don't play baseball
(Hpw about yellow card and red card like in (soccer) football
Not being funny, but even though an American team wins the world series every time the whole world knows what three strikes means.

What does Snowden have to do with it? Had the government done a competent job of restricting him to just data that he was supposed to have,
Yeah, because he famously googled his information.

Says the AC.
but that digital recording and mixing often loses information to compression or inadequate sampling.
That's all on the producer and recording techniques, not the format itself.
How will a regular musician know if the format or encoding is common enough to have decoders in the future?
The same way they know there'll be machines to play the tapes. No one is going to give your drm'd files as a master, no one.
robots like this are used against you or someone you care about.
Machines which can hurt people are not "cool".
Only children and mentally ill adults have this misconception.
You won't be saying that when one of them is picking a car up of you or your loved one.
Trained flying monkeys to jump on its back and totally screw with its aerodynamics?
That's your winner right there!
Yeah. Duck season.
Wabbit season.

If it's in the bible it's safe to assume it never actually happened, and if it did nothing like the way it says.
Am I the only one that did a double uber face palm after reading this? HOW FUCKING STUPID HAS THE GENERAL PUBLIC BECOME?
Probably, most of the general public is stupid enough to realise it's just a big ol' joke. Take a breath before you flip out, you'll live longer.
Does the "it's coming right at me" rule work for drones?
Nah, they are over populated so you have to use the 'Thinning out their numbers'. Because you can't have them all starving to death now can you?
I put a lot of thought in to my mixtapes too. Does that make me a curator, can I claim if I see them mirrored on spotify.

Problem is the whole new world order / one world government thing doesn't stop at america.

...can't you just look through the code. I mean I'm not a programmer but I'm sure a group of them could get together and have a look.
These arguments lead nowhere. There's one inescapable fact:
Electricity is 100% efficient. Gas is not.
Technology will continue to advance and the impact of building the cars will be lessened.
I don't know much but I know that nothing is 100% efficient. If it was it wouldn't make noise and it wouldn't heat up.
Millions of kids work, cook, and clean every day. They still mostly find time to enjoy themselves.
Not of their own accord. Millions of adults enjoy themselves too. In ways which are way better than what kids do.
