HA! What a way to turn an argument around! Coddling the KKK... Damn, I would have never thought you would find my true motivation.
To be clear asshole (if I may call you that), I do not want to coddle the KKK or actual terrorists. That first part was a joke, you see. "Sarcasm" is what the kids call it these days.
What I was saying in my previous post was: when you make living conditions for innocent people better, fewer of them eventually become criminals. Is that clear enough for you?
"Violence begets violence," and, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," are two sentences so common they passed into cliche long ago. If you put them both together, you get what I am talking about. When you falsely imprison or kill an innocent man or woman no matter what your intentions, you are taking someone's son or daughter, mother or father, sister or brother away from the people that they love. What would you do for your children? What would you do for your parents? What would you do for your family?
Some might protest. Some might strap a bomb to their chest.
The father blows up a bus full of our children, parents, and siblings. What do we do? Blow up more terrorists and innocent bystanders. The circle of violence starts anew, and our good intentions are leading us swiftly to hell (handbasket optional).
But I said something good about Martin Luther King Jr.! I'm not a racist!
Martin Luther King Jr. was an extraordinary man. It takes an extraordinary man to turn the other cheek and stop a circle of violence. You cannot expect everyone to be extraordinary people. In your short post, asshole, you are expecting the whole of the Arab world to be among the greatest people in history and speaking of them as if they were all evil killing machines.
That, my friend... I mean asshole, is racism.
In summation, if we protect freedom, stop killing innocent people, make innocent people's lives better, and stop treating them like sub-human scum, we will reduce the number of future terrorists. Sadly, the mistakes we have already made cannot be undone. It is important to understand how we might have made today's terrorists so we can prevent the next generation. This starts with empathy not apologies.
I don't put too much stock in the Bible, but I do believe we should love our fellow man--all of them.
You create terrorists by wrongly imprisoning people. Preventing crime is not about putting people behind bars. It is about improving people's environment and standing so that they are less compelled to commit crimes. You have to be pretty damned pissed off about something to blow yourself up and kill innocent people. Maybe we ought to work on what is pissing said people off.
It is funny that the city actually involved in the 9/11 attack is one of the most liberal cities in the country.
Is there really any point in producing potentially the most innovative controller since the NES d-pad if all they will use it for is to jump on the heads of / outrace various characters from the Mario multiverse?
I can't believe they are making another Ratchet and Clank. Or that damned Project Gotham Racing. I know no one is looking forward to Halo 3 or the 6th Jak and/or Daxter game.
No, they announced that the "Core Pack" would finally be available here. This is the PSP without the Memory Stick and other stuff that you get with the "Value Pack" now. This has been available since launch in Japan at roughly the same price.
It's an enviable position if you're XBox Live execs.
Enviable? I've got a hunch that this is mostly empty bandwidth. XBOX execs are very good at releasing impressive numbers, but very bad at earning a cold hard profit. If XBOX were ever to earn any achievement of note, you will hear them shouting from the heavens, and you certainly won't see announcements about it as blatantly ambiguous as this.
Sort of like Sony's stand on region-locking for PSP games. Of course, since they don't have the lead, they won't be able to implement that, but damn, they would have liked to.

Microsoft is filling some recently vacated positions. The time to send your resume is now.
Good. Too bad you haven't caught that Osama guy or that #2 guy we almost catch every time Bush's polls are down.

If the guy actually exists.
The Famicom was still in production in Japan until a year or so ago.
The Kirby tilt game probably. It was made for the top loading GBA.
Oh, and any multiplayer GBA game. Of course, that only affects part of the game.
Anyone who uses a word like "metaverse" is full of fucking shit, and should never be paid to write anything ever.

You are obviously not paying attention.
I know!
I can't believe they are making another Ratchet and Clank. Or that damned Project Gotham Racing. I know no one is looking forward to Halo 3 or the 6th Jak and/or Daxter game.
Wait... I think I messed up there.
Too bad it basically rules out having OOT ported to my portable :(
Cheer up, maybe it will come as a pre-order bonus. ^_^
Would you say that a memory card is not standard for the PS2?
4D too!

Well, you may be disappointed. Harrison has been ducking the question, "Will the hard drive be included with the PS3?"
My guess is that they are floating the idea of selling all PS3s without hard drives and selling hard drives more like memory cards.
We are not going to show you anything, but trust us, it does everything.
It is odd to think that it has been 6 months since the first playable Revolution demos.

My brother has a Creative Zen Micro he likes. It's about the size of the old 5 stick packs of Wrigley's Spearamint.
I will say that when you are trying to get a normal job but have ambitions in comedy that you display online, you don't get the same benefit. ^_^
If the cops have a warrant, they can look in your underwear drawer. Privacy is not absolute. It's there in the Constitution.
I'm far more worried about the abuses of this system by the President and others.
yeah, Mao was HAWT!

Oh my god! There is a first person shooter on the 360? If only they could get a racing game, I might fork over the cash for one.
Free "Basic" online.
At this point, I would bet on a Live-like model: free to connect and buy stuff, pay to actually play.
I think it was a comment on the fact that similar promises in the past (read: PSP) have not been realized (read: Japan 12/04, USA 3/05, Europe 9/05).
As with anything Sony, I will believe it when it sits on the shelf.
