    Weeeee this is fun. I generally vote libertarian, but yes your right for the most part loud liberals annoy me slightly more than loud conservative, but they both annoy me.

    Let me break down the points you make.

    My quote I'm sure I'm gonna get some liberal to jump on this and argue about recent appointments and such and such

    Ok yea sure, I was trying to be offensive there, sorry. I was just thinking that in general judges are pretty neutral, but I was sure I was going to hear arguments that recent judges are overly conservative... Which obviously I did... And no I'm not going to argue the the point, because you're not completly wrong.. I just hear it from every side, about "activist" judges. And I get tired of it.

    I think its become fairly obvious by now that "liberal" judges are ones that use the constitution to say things we've been doing all along were bad. While "conservative" judges are ones that use the constitution to say things we've just started doing are bad.

    AS I already stated all that means is

    "Conservative" = Likes things the way they are.
    "Liberal" = Likes to try new things.

    You can try to deconstruct my viewpoint out of that, but its a stretch.

    And NO I don't think these recent crimes are OK. Just that warcrimes arn't new, but I think the supreme court judges do have the ability to seperate their political leaning from what this "administration" wants. As it really owes nothing to this "administration". So maybe its their own opinions.. Just maybe...

    Anyways don't try to label me so fast. It really pisses me off. /I'm sure I'm gonna get some liberal to jump on this and argue about recent appointments and such and such

    And just because you prefer "Conservative" activist judges to "liberal" ones doesn't make the Conservatives any less activist. They're more activist, and more dangerous.

    I don't think I said that. I keep trying to make neutral statements, and I keep getting attacked.
    I guess I just learned lesson one in Internet, don't bother arguing a neutral position against someone who obviously has an axe to grind.

    Their nickel & dime strategy has been working for decades, I'm surprised they backed down - after all, with no direct competition for users what is the recourse?

    Well in a lot of the larger markets there are. And they would have had an even tougher time explaining to the FCC changing different markets different fees.

    One has to ask? Is this a win for the new instant communication driven capitolism where the consumer really has a voice and can vote with their wallet due to their size in numbers.
    Or is this a win for regulation where with new instant communication people can voice their opinions to the FCC easier and the government can crack down on these problems.

    You absolutly right. My thought was that many pirates are people that can't afford a game. (Been a few games I've copied that I keep telling myself.. I'll buy this when I have the money.. I promise). But no I have no RIGHT to copy the game, I am breaking the law. But I'm saying at the same time that people who can afford it and just don't give a damn are on a different level.

    From what I understand there is a group of lawyers who are assigned to you if you are charged with a crime and can't afford a lawyer yourself. Despite what you may see on TV these lawyers do a decent job (not always) of disagreeing with the State. And if they do a bad job you can often get a Judge (who seem to be reallly good at disagreeing with the State) to rule that your lawyer was incompetent. Sure if we went to a system of all public layers we would need some tougher checks and balances, but so far it seems the third branch of the government is pretty good at disagreeing with the first two. /I'm sure I'm gonna get some liberal to jump on this and argue about recent appointments and such and such.....

    Nope, but restricted online play has helped a LOT. There are many games that have been bought not out of the goodness of a gamers heart, but for the right to play on official server. :)

    Currently there is nothing to determine anyone who post information credit. What I gather this whole admin approval thing will do is simply the admins will scan changes and note for obvious errors or vandalism. People will be able to see these changes according to the articles update, before admins approve them. The thing I want to know is will regular users be able to see what was rejected. Then users should then be able to report abuse by an admin.
