How many people go on a shooting rampage play a lot of violent video games compared to those who don't? Even then, the number that do are so small that you can't blame video games.
The best way to stop what happened in Colorado is to 1. harsh punishment, painful and fast instead of waiting 30 years in jail before actually killing him. and 2. More open Gun laws, if a few people had guns in that theater, he could have been stopped before the death count got that high. More gun laws will mean only the criminal will have guns, and he feels safer to go on a rampage.
The only federal tax is the tax on income. (and money to make on a job, or money given to you, you get taxed). And that took a constitutional amendment. Every other Federal tax is optional, like gas and to get onto a federal park. With this ruling, it gives the power to government to tax everyone for something they do, or for not doing anything. They could now tax people for playing video games on the basis that its harmful to you.
In one stroke, John Roberts will be remembered as the Justice that took freedom away from the people and gave it to the government. It guarantees a Romney victory and maybe a repeal next year, but the damage is done with the ruling. The democrats can now put a tax on anything.
Not to mention the trillions of dollars this Obamacare is going to cost the country. 2 trillion in the next 8 years.
As long as you don't mind settling for 8 year old graphics that can not improve. All a console dose it set the graphics low enough so it will run smoothly, whereas on a PC you have to manually lower graphics to where it will run smooth, but will still look better then on a console. And other then select titles (i.e crysis) you really only need to upgrade graphic card every 2-3 years.
Some people don't mind playing with 8 year old graphics though. This is why I only buy party games for my consoles.
The "man made global warming" people are in it for money and power. While the rest of us know its all bogus after hearing all the bogus reports. The sea levels have not changed, ice at the poles are not melting (melt in one area, grows in another). Its hard to listen to the global warming people when most of what they say is found out to be false.
So let players know and let them decide if they want to risk these long term injury for millions of dollars. If they wanted to stay perfectly safe, they could go work at Burger king for minimal wage.
People would waist that money elsewhere if not on these things. Whether you save or spend is a mindset. Some (most I guess) will see something that interest them, and buy it without a second thought. Others will see something that interest them and think if it is worth the cost.
It not going to because a company want to hide defects in products from the store. Nearly all furniture have the "call manufacturer, do not bring back to store" because if consumer brings it back to the store, the manufacture takes most of the loss (the store takes some). Nothing store can do except throw it away, whereas if consumer calls company, it can send a replacement part. No big name (or store name) company will intentionally sell product that they know is defective. Unlike what a lot of people think, companies are not evil. It is simply cheaper for the company.
I have not heard of any consumer say "This is last time I'm coming here because this brand is bad". They always say "This brand never works, show me something else."
Best buy should keep track of S/N so when someone returns an electronic, they can check if its the same one. Or electronics will be tested if they work, and if they do, charge a restocking fee. I work all the returns at the store I work (not a best buy), a lot of phones and printers get returned simply because they don't know how to work them.
I fail to see where they reward failure. Even if idea is not excepted, that just means it more work to make it a good idea. Put it into the ideapool for the company, and maybe someone will come up with something different that will work. Your not rewarded for failure, your rewarded for trying. Its not the government, where your rewarded for not doing anything.
"With the cost of gas and oil on its way up it's a wonder that any one would be against the use of renewable energy sources."
Considering it STILL needs subsidies for people to build them, it is safe to assume it is still more expensive then other choices. The point behind subsidies is to encourage people to do something they would otherwise NOT want to do. And if people have to be paid to do one thing, instead of something else, it is not worth doing.
I am surprised Canada can't lower their gas prices, do they have a leader that stops all oil drilling he possible can and builds no oil refineries?
This is certainly not an idea of Obama himself, this is very close to a business idea. And as we all know, he has no business experience and actively trying to destroy businesses. I frankly don't understand why people would want to donate every time some hyped up situation comes up. I guess this why democrats make stories up like republican "war on women". It never existed, but I'm sure they tricked a lot of donors that is was real to get some money from them.
Science seem to be 50% wrong when it comes to something you can't really check (double personality turns out to be wrong, (man made)global warming is wrong, this psychic ability test could be wrong. Simply say there is no way to prove or disprove these things.
"So we simply have to face the facts that capitalism is coming to an end and look ahead to a replacement" Yea, lets government run everything, and everybody can live with free money from government. This is not a problem with capitalism, its a problem with government. Can't get jobs back till we get rid of the guy blocking jobs, Obama. We are heading toward being like Europe, where many people never have to work a day in their life (and have the USA to pay for it). Only problem is, we got no one else to give us free money.
If people hate working over 40 hours, maybe you should quit and get a new job. Personally, I love working over 40
Tired of these "studies" that shows better apples uses a certain orange. Personally, I use Firefox and IE and find no difference between them. Sometimes something don't work on one of them, so I do it on the other. Considering IE comes as default on windows. Studies like this is like saying "Players who play games with default settings are stupid, and players who edit the settings are smart." Just because you have not found a need to change the settings dose not automatically mean your stupid.
Always thought it was funny that releasing reserve oil lower prices....but drilling for more oil dose not. Natural gas cars is never going to happen, like Obama's stupid Alge running cars (using alge to make oil is any quantity is impossible). Even electric cars are worse then gas. We have enough oil in the US to support ourselves, if only the democrats would get out of the way and let us drill. Oil companies can only get to 2% of the oil the US has because the democrats are blocking the drilling.
Guess people gave up on trying to teach kids. Or I guess parents stopped teaching their kids anything. I remember clearly being told by my parents when I'm young to watch for cars backing up in parking lots. Another case of the 99% having to pay for the 1% of bad drivers. I ain't paying $200 for a camera I would not use.
hard time believing someone from a Conservative party would do such a thing. If it said Liberal....they cheat all the time in elections. In the US, it is a given that they cheat. like "finding" more votes in a trunk of a car, or paying people to vote.
I use a cheap phone with real cheap calls only plan. I make people send text messages to my PC (windows live) and text back threw my PC. Paying $45-100 a month for a phone is crazy, even if it dose everything.
If a lot of people want a singer's song after they die, then of coarse a company will raise the price. I have seen people get mad at sony, and I tell them simply to not buy the songs then. Don't boycott sony, just buy the songs somewhere else.
There is only a few reasons for big chain stores to go under.
1. Bad customer service. I work at a staples in the growing state of ND. We get a lot of customers who went to best buy or office max (only other 2 major electronic chains in the city, but got smaller stores like The Computer Store, and CompUtech) and then came to Staples.
2. Can't adapt to change. If Radio Shack did not change what they carried (whether you like it or not) is the reason they are still open.
If a store can't do that, customers and those jobs move somewhere else and make money for other people.
So a little shock to help you remember something new. A bigger shock to make you forget your short term memory (used to "cure" depression"). And a huge shock to make you forget everything (dead).

Plenty of items are, and will be in gold AH. People only THINK they are forced to use the RMAH.

The current president is trying to end that 200 year document.
This is certainly not an idea of Obama himself, this is very close to a business idea. And as we all know, he has no business experience and actively trying to destroy businesses.

No, its another technology for thieves so they can take your credit card number easier.
Its not like they are asking for a full program, just a small app. So even 5k is enough.

never thought I'd see a democrat actually admit that he thinks the American people are stupid.
