And the USA is also directly responsible for producing products and technology that benefits the world.
In the case of this arguement that means nothing... With out trawling through tons of sites (which do to the task master hell i work in is not possible) the stat that is usually rolled out at about this time is that US has 4% of the world population by Generates approx 24% of the pollution...
If you talking about KoL the best quest in that game (for me) is the Strange leaflet (the new one) that so rocks while honouring all the old txt based games that existed.
And dont even get me started on the 'Naughty Sauceress'
Why does no one ever attempt to explain that God created man using evolution as a tool? Whatever happened to the divine clockwinder theory?
You really should read the Science of Discworld 3 by Terry Pratchett, its basicly his take on Darwins life and what would have happened if he had never written 'that' book and talks quite in depth about the divine watchmaker theory and why its not a good example for intelligent design to us.
I play a game called Kingdom of loathing and there are many reasons in this game to join a clan, such benefits are mainly geared to lower levels/newbies but as a clan gets higher or has a more elite player list can get amazing..
For lower levels the benefits are 1. Extra turns per day (as the game is Adv based) 2. Free Meat (the currencu of the game... seriously) 3. Access to the clan channel where questions and stuff can be discussed freely 4. the Clan stash.. a dumping ground for all sorts of food/drink and items in the game. Access to the stash is controlled (badley some might say) via the power of Karma, each item has a karma value, so to gget stuff out, you first have to put stuff in (or donate meat directly to the clan)
There are probably about 10-15 clans that are considered pretty elite, one that are invite only, or do great deeds and philanthropic interaction with the game, i myself are in Otori (www.otori.org)
The social interaction with in the clans can be amazing and its not uncommon for clans to merge of swap members for specific acts...
Try playing Kingdom of loathing (at www.kingdomofloathing.com) instead, its cheap browswer based (no installs) with a massive communitiy and play ID's hitting 650k. You can pay via donations to the game (which gets you accessto some awesome objects).
I play this at home/work and its an intense game.. plus you can never finish it, great pvp etcetc..
I was going to post against the parent as (although i agree with some points) it is terribly overstated and factless..... and then you opened your mouth and unfortunantly reinforced the very stereotype I feel was the target in the posting.
I work for a very large Company that outsources and provides contrators to jobs (its a three letter acronym and they have a famous cycle team and begin with C)
There was something very similar in out contracts that i refused to sign, basicly it stated that 'Anything i publish they can automatically own the copyright to' fair enough if i produce documentation or relevant discourse in the line of duty... but no, this meant ANYTHING i wrote, be it at work, at home, about my technical area or indeed a work of fiction or childs story...everything.
I refused to sign it and they told me... 'Thats ok, you'll stand out now so its easy to watch, we would own it in the end'
Of course, and why not... Its a free browser based game open to all with all the interaction you require. Think of it as a single player graphical mud with humour and your not far wrong...
It works on a donation system, if you donate to the game you get a special item (the powerfull Mr Accessory) these can be worn or traded for other items, this system works enough people donate to keep the game going but if you dont want to then thats also fine.
I have been playing this game for well over 1 year and with the recent addition of ascension (too long a sotry) has made the game an infinate possibility...
Start playing online interactive MUDs or some such. Play those for about 3 hours aday and soon you will be typing faster then you could have dreamed.. (Its all about familiarity)
Kingdom Of Loathing (not an advert) even has a literacy test before you are allowed in to the chat.
BT are indeed useless but for me getting broadband was this easy...
Move in to new flat.. Get number = 1 week make sure phone line was ok ordered PIPEX broadband on monday, modem turns up on Friday. I plug it in and voila.....
BT can be uber-tosspots but sometimes it just works....
However the article could have been a lot better written in the long run.
And the sheer reason why i got my first ever graphics accelerator (12mg voodoo2)
The moment at the very start of the game when you walk out side of the ship and hear the glorious music and see the water texture, the waterfall opposite the cliff face...... i have never been wow'ed like that ever since.

This is your daughters life you are talking about, you seriously want to DIY something together in case the worse happens....

All in all being in a clan is almost a must...
