I've had a lot of luck recently with World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. They're not RPG's, but they are MMO. Not much investment needed for a playing either.
I recently played Neverwinter. I can't recommend it though. The leveling up is very fast (Which isn't necessarily bad on it's own) and when you hit end game there is almost nothing to do. The free to play formula is extremely expensive addons ($20 for a bag) that frankly make it not worth your time.
Other than that, there are literally dozens of free to play MMO's out there right now. Costs nothing to try them, but the time to check them out. I enjoyed RIFT when I played, but stopped before the first expansion, so I have no clue what it is like now.
I have my girls watching all the TV shows and movies I watched as a kid. They're 8 and 10.
The Princess Bride Animaniacs Duck Tails Darkwing Duck Inspector Gadget Willow Star Wars Star Trek TNG
I'm also having fun watching this generation's classics. (Pixar Movies, My Little Pony, Phineas and Ferb)
If you're having a hard time getting your kids (of any age) to watch the stuff you enjoyed as a kid I would suggest not telling them when it was made and watching it.
Assumption? Why would I assume we paid for it? You said nothing of cost, why would I assume there was cost? Level 99 Godwin. I'm pretty sure the mem is OVER 9000 Godwin.
I've held off a few hours answering to give you time to cool off. I hope you have used it wisely. Breathing fire and stomping angrily? Really? You're delusional. Have a nice day.
You're either trolling or being obtuse, and I'm not sure which. You gave the example of Al Qaeda getting the cure for cancer. I gave the example of Nazi's figuring out viable treatment methods for hypothermia. Sorry boss, but they aren't as dissimilar as a house and a doughnut. Go back and read and think on this without an agenda. I'm on your side in the human rights department, but frankly, your trolling is retarded.
There's quite a bit of difference between human experimentation and entertainment.
STOP RIGHT THERE. I wasn't commenting on entertainment. I was commenting on exactly the portion of his post that I QUOTED. Nothing more, nothing less. If you can't see that, you should really have your vision checked out. While technically a Godwin's law effect, the step was from one reprehensible group having data that helps society to another reprehensible group with the same. You may not like it, but the comment was on target, even though it included the Nazi reference (because his hypothetical HAS happened in the past and to forget it is a disservice).
If Al Qaeda came up with a cure for cancer, would we as a society start using it, or reject it as poisoned fruit?
Just as we accepted the medical knowledge unlocked by the nazi's during WWII http://www.jlaw.com/Articles/NaziMedEx.html we would use the cure for cancer. The foundation of treatment for hypothermia was all determined through the torture and murder of jews by the NAZI's, and yet we use that information to save lives even today.
Really? Or are you trolling? 1G is acceleration, not speed. So build at much speed as you want, it's still building it at whatever your acceleration is. You're not suddenly "traveling at 1G"
"Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined under this title"
Personally, I don't like seeing junk like this stamped or not in my mailbox. But to have someone break the law to deliver it is even worse. Fine them the $5,000 IMO.
Go to the top of this thread. The post you're responding to was me explaining a youtube video, NOT me explaining the 5th amendment.
As for 5 and 6? Sorry, but I'm not driving around with stolen goods nor am I driving around with a bomb.
Scenario 4 most certainly DOES happen. Has happened to me when they asked if they could look around. Even if they ignore that statement and search anyways. They then need to show probable cause, and you can fight for your rights if they are violated. There are many lawyers who will take up these types of cases.
It boils down to this, (if you're still reading): There are so very many things that are perfectly legal to do or have that you might not want others to know you have them and would refrain from sharing.
1: The encrypted hard drive contains homemade porn with your wife. 2: You're digging a fallout shelter in your yard during that time and don't want anyone to know in case of disaster. 3: You're planning a surprise party and do not want to ruin it. 4: You were having an affair with police officer's wife and you are afraid if you tell him he will hurt you. 5: You were listening to Creed and don't want anyone to know you like that band. 6: You don't want to explain why you were at the bar with a friend your wife has forbid you from seeing when you told your wife you were at the movies with a different friend. 7: You were at your doctors getting the results of an STD test.
The list goes on and on. Unless you're saying secrets are no longer allowed?
Seems to me it is a pretty damn big burden to decrypt a hard drive that they "Suspect" has videos of the murder on it, but instead it is your webcam collection of yourself and your lady friend making "art" which is now in the hands of the police. The 5th amendment isn't just about answering questions. It's about not using your knowledge to assist them in doing witch hunts against you. There are things that are perfectly legal that you might want to hide. Why would a murder case you had nothing to do with change what you have the right to keep hidden?
I would rather people get away with crimes than innocent people get witch hunted. There is a reason the term is called a witch hunt, look at history.
I will give you an example: You are asked by a prosecutor where you were on Sunday Night at 5PM in regards to a murder. You have already said you didn't do it. You refuse to answer, using your constitutional rights.
Why did you refuse to answer? Well, you weren't doing anything illegal, you were out with your friends watching the new Iron Man movie in 3d. Nothing bad about that.
Except your wife LOVES Robert Downey Jr and you promised not to see the movie without her. Now you telling the prosecutor where you were on Sunday night at 5PM has caused maritial strife when a white lie would have been fine.

The founders of the country didn't have computers or powerpoint, so I am sure that wasn't the reason.

Hello Troll.
I mean what I said. Acceleration is a different measurement than speed.
Really? Or are you trolling? 1G is acceleration, not speed. So build at much speed as you want, it's still building it at whatever your acceleration is. You're not suddenly "traveling at 1G"
So you're fine with them breaking the law?
