I dont think your being very fair to us. There are plenty of Americans who know where Austrailia is, and many of us dream of visiting there. So please dont be so quick to group us all into one stereotype
I even know the correct pronunciation of Austrailia... my friends on mIRC told me... its spelled OZstrailia.
I wish my vision was as good as yours... man, cause all i see are specks...

oh and is that my dog? Naah, she wouldnt be on the roof with an "ELP ME" sign.
I totally agree with you, however I dont think that spelling corrections on a message board will cause any changes towards the better. Since it is up to that individual to govern how their own actions. If a person does not care about the quality of their communication, then there is very little that others can say to make a difference. Especially since, you are the only person capable of changing you.
I suppose this is a first step towards setting up colonies on Mars, Right?
Since this project will provide accurate maps and a complete mineralogy of mars, we could pre-determine where to build our habitats and possibly start work on terriforming the planet.
*remembers pitch black* I sure hope that is a wise idea
I know that this may seem optimistic... but here is my thoughts
Having children connected electronically does present the opportunity for change.
Since most children are still innocent, they could learn at an early age how to cooperate with each other. The future lies in the hands of the children. If they learn to work together and overcome differences, our lives will eventually turn towards the better.
Its also a shame that so many of us will talk about world hunger, but when it comes to actually doing something about it only the bold rise to the occasion.
I would have to disagree. There are some people who can create nice characters in a very short amount of time, because they just happen to be good at these kinds of games.
What bothers me the most is the fact that a character on a computer game could be worth more than sentiment. Video games are supposed to be all about the struggle to the top. If you buy a pre-won game, where are you supposed to do with it?

some companies are already selling tickets to the space station if you like pre-ordering that kind of stuff

I may not know much about Canada now... but I will after I drive up there.

you make yourself look like your overly judgemental and have waay too much time on your hands.
Its just a message board...
*nod* If we did have a project like that, the detail in the end product would be extremely superiour to anything taken in space
This article is about a mission to make a topographical map of the earth.

You would also find out how often the kids actually charged the batteries for their handhelds.

I think a better analogy to this situation would be the paint-by-numbers paintings.
After someone paints with them, they cannot claim the work of art as "theirs". Yes they kinda painted it, but the design was not of their making.
It is the same with the characters on the games. The game creaters create a character template that gets modified by the user.
The user cannot claim any ownership over the character because they had no part in the creation of the game (they just use it).
