heh...it's a damn game. What does a game have to do with messages for the real world? If you get the fake game then it'll suck but considering you paid nothing for it I can't see any reason to bitch about it. In all probability the real game will suck too.
Well actually the idea that all government is bad goes back to the founding fathers. The phrase "That government is best which governs least." was a common idea at the time. Also "Government is a necessary evil" was used as well. One of the funny things about the Clinton era is that he worked with a Republican congress to shrink government spending. I'm kind of amazed that he was more conservative than either of the 2 Presidents named Bush, economically that is. Things were going pretty good in the later Reagan years after getting over the nuttiness of the Carter administration. I think maybe after another few years of the Tax and Spend bunch running the show now we will see how the present administration stacks up. It is early to tell and I am really curious to see who the Dems run in 2016. Normally the Veep would be a top choice but Biden is a joke. Maybe Hillary although I'm thinking she has some problems somewhere because she has totally dropped out of the limelight.
Actually I don't think Reagan promised the government would help you. One of his most famous quotes was "The most terrifying words in the english language are I'm From the Government and I'm Here to Help You."
What ails you? Who gives a shit about parties when they really are just smoke screens for the ignorant. There is only one party in Washington and that is the Money Party. Oh there are a few people that try to make a difference but their party leadership shuts them down pretty quickly. Most of those get disillusioned and don't even bother to try for re-election.
It is a game. Not the real world. In this pretend world they have in the game if your games get pirated you lose income. Whether that is the case in the real world or not is irrelevant.
Once you put a keyboard on it there is no point to the touchscreen. I can see no reason for both. I use the touchscreen on my 5" samsung tablet because that is all I have to use. If I had a keyboard I'd never touch the damn screen. Since the purpose is to have something to fit my pocket I make the sacrifice. With my laptop I use the keyboard and have no need or desire to touch the screen. If I have to pay an extra 50 or so bucks for a touchscreen I will look elsewhere. It makes no sense to have both. People that like touchscreens have tablets and for keyboards there are laptops. I guess the handful that want both can buy this thing.
Think about it. CNC machines. 50 years ago that was science fiction. You deliberately misinterpreting what I said doesn't make my argument stupid. Technology marches on. Horseless carriages, the Iron Horse, history is full of things that could never be done. I mention personal computing as a more recent example and one where I remember a certain bigwig saying that it would never happen. He was wrong and so are you.
This area is pretty cosmopolitan for a Southern town. The chief deputy for a couple of decades was black and so are many of the deputies. They concentrate mostly on real crime and have one of the highest success rates in the state for solving crimes. The Sheriff is getting pretty old and will probably retire soon but hopefully whoever ends up replacing him will continue the job in the same way. I don't doubt that there are problems since anything that involves people will have problems but not many of our neighboring counties have been so fortunate.
I'm not. Prosecutors generally take a dim view of someone else tampering with evidence. It is one thing for them to twist things and entirely different when someone else does it.
I don't know about where you live but around here it is extremely rare, like almost unheard of, for anyone to get stopped for doing less than 10mph over the limit. I've blown through speed traps at 15 or so over many times. The only places they are really strict on is construction sites and school zones. The local sheriff is very popular and remains so by providing excellent protection while basically ignoring traffic violators unless they just get stupid. His deputies are busy patrolling businesses and residential areas to prevent burglaries and he's been doing that for over 40 years. No one bothers to even run against him.
I don't give a shit if it is the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm going to buy the blu-ray edition when it comes out. I hope they sell more copies than any movie ever. With a little luck that will cause some of the movie execs to die from apoplexy.

So the game you pay for is better than the free one......damn.

Okay, I'm off by a decade.
I'd like to see you put that thing in your garage.
Have to buy those votes somehow.
Just so you know, tax avoidance is a bi-partisan thing.

I know. It's like the preposterous idea of home computers. That will never happen.
Never say never. 10 years down the road who knows where this technology could be. I believe that it will only get better and cheaper.

Yet another plus for google glass. Think they'll use that as a selling point?
With the rise of cloud storage it'll get harder for them to suppress any footage you take as well.
Exactly! Public is.....Public! Imagine that. When they stick a camera in your bedroom then bitch.
Life being ruled by your Dick is not my idea of utopia. I've seen the urban meat markets and it makes beating off an attractive alternative.

Damn! Downmodded for poking fun at Algore. No one has a sense of humor anymore.

This joke is so good. I've heard it before but I still laughed.
