People who don't agree with the principles in the Declaration and writings of the U.S. Founders should move to the E.U.
Yeah, because healthy disagreement is intolerable in a functional democracy...
What does that even mean, anyway? The "US Founders" didn't even agree among themselves, let alone present a unified platform for the rest of us to consider. They were not a borg collective. Many of the US founders advocated slavery, and almost all of them advocated gender inequality. Maybe you've heard of the Three-fifths Compromise? Maybe not. Should people who disagree with those principles and writings move to Europe too?
Reminds me of Christians who cite Leviticus' writings to vilify homosexuality, while ignoring its prohibitions against other forms of sex, let alone the forbidden food and clothing.
So I doubt you're actually in favor of slavery, or gun duels, or any of the other archaic practices that some of the founders believed in. You're not really advocating strict adherence. Rather, what you're really advocating is adherence to *your* interpretation of their collective principles, or else to the status quo. Neither of those are, nor should they be, immune from review or criticism.
Step 1 of tourism: Make sure the place you want to visit actually exists.
I had a similar experience when I went to visit the Stanley Hotel, where The Shining was filmed. Only after arriving and actually entering the hotel, did we realize that it was where The Shining miniseries was filmed, not the iconic film with Jack Nicholson that everybody thinks of, which was filmed on a sound stage in England. Granted, The Stanley was where Stephen King stayed for a night, and was the inspiration for the novel, and did have an interesting history of its own, but it was still somewhat of a disappointment.
And for Christ sake, make sure you get it all in the appropriate receptacle or absorptive material. Seriously, it's bad enough being relegated to shitting in a public bathroom without seeing faint light stains on the stall walls.
And no shower babies, period, for you horny gym addicts. Wash up without patting down!
Any firing "for cause" will result in withholding of unemployment benefits.
It is my understanding that the set of things which are "for cause" is larger than, and only partly shared with, the set of things which are "illegal."
Thanks for defining real adults for us, who are only interested in a work because of its social value. Clearly anyone who would want to subject themselves to any "unsavory" sights or sounds has not matured past the stage of adolescence. Hopefully you can define unsavory for us, so that we can all fully appreciate your insight and wisdom.
That said, many "adult" games are filled with biting social and political commentary. For example, GTA IV, a game which is commonly considered to appeal to connoisseurs of "unsavory" sights and sounds, places front and center the cognitive dissonances that abound in American culture; violence (destruction) = ok; sex (creation) = not ok. It mocks commercialism and consumerism while exploiting and depending on them for its own existence.
The song Priutt-Igoe is (ironically or appropriately) played on a radio station hosted by a computer. It was written for the soundtrack of, and thus is a direct reference to, a film called Koyaanisqatsi, but to discover that, you'd have to first discover how to obtain song names, which is not quite a straightforward process (and does not involve shooting anyone). The name of the song is an homage to, and the sequence in the film, are of the demolition of the Pruitt-Igoe projects, and not coincidentally, one of the missions involves infiltrating buildings in the projects, which is a clear nod toward the failure of "urban renewal." The Pruitt-Igoe buildings were designed by Japanese architect Minoru Yamasaki, who was quoted as lamenting, "I never thought people were that destructive." And yet, the development may well have worked in Japan, where society and culture impart a much higher regard for the respect of others, whereas in the west we focus on the respect of self. And in fact, many Japanese live in apartments that make the projects look like penthouse suites, but social order is well maintained. It could be argued that the projects were not a failing of architecture, or its residence, but of the society in which they live. And given the fact that urban sprawl is predominantly implicated in one of our biggest energy crises -- transportation -- it makes me question whether we are taking the right approach in seeking to reduce population density in order to increase the quality of life of assisted housing residents. Clearly it's easier to change our architecture than to change our culture, but what if the latter is the only way to achieve lasting resolution?
That's just one of the many threads that can be teased out of the game. But of course, when you need a break from all of the waxing philosophical, you can also bang hookers and practice head shots on unsuspecting civilians; an unsavory practice which I enjoy from time to time. But then, I guess I'm not a real adult.
Because they're 10% reporters, and 90% commentators. There's more concrete information in 30 minutes of any nightly network world news broadcast than in several hours of cable "news" broadcasting, depending on when you happen to tune in. From Larry King to Keith Olbermann, to Bill Orielly, it's almost always a bunch of bluster about shit that ultimately doesn't affect a viewer at all.
And it's not for a lack of news. If these channels expanded their definition of newsworthy events to include more than just the US federal government, celebrity news, and missing blonde girls, they would be more worried about trying to fit it all into an hour instead of just trying to find more filler material.

That's like saying you can't hear jets traveling faster than sound.
Tangential light would still reflect off of the object as it traveled faster than light.. the object would just appear to be longer than it really was.
Still others have noticed the huge similarity between EQ/WoW/DAoC/AC/CoH/CoV/D&DO/FFXI/GW/LotRO/SWG/WAR ad nauseum. Many have proposed categorizing these "games" in some sort of genre.

As explained in numerous posts above...
The Or is implied, and Google says it's correct, (and that you're an idiot.)
"Ye Gods," on the other hand, appears to be a mangling of egads.

It sort of defeats the point of tracking if you tell us where it's going to be ahead of time.
Grit and bare it.

in the future all newspapers will offer high quality unique content.
Like when we had multiple online service providers with their own unique set of services? GEnie, CompuServe, AOL.. That worked out well.
Me too!

More importantly, is there a torrent of this film? I highly doubt it will be coming to a theater near me anytime before The Singularity itself.
Only with .NET has Microsoft finally caught up with RAD form design. .NET is over 7 years old now... You might as well be railing against Windows 98.
You can design forms and controls in the same way as Visual Basic, but it is C++.
I thought that was called Visual C++.
