but the article still failes to mention MY number one reason for not going. it's freakin' $9 per person. i can buy the dvd for $15 when it comes out and watch it at home with my girlfriend for less. AND i don't have to watch all the stupid commercials and listen to crying babies.
Robot soccer is already old. It's been around for several years (3 or 4 at least). My school always cleans up... we entered 3 out of 4 divisions last year and won all of them.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but in a lot of states, your driver's license number IS your social security number.
Besides, I'm sure if I *really* wanted to I could probably find peoples social security number anyway. We give it out all the time for "identification purposes", which I believe was an issue directly addressed when the gov't instituted the SS program.
i'm not sure what the big deal is. they still sell lots of books. if you can still get books cheaper than at the local bookstore, with decent service, what difference does it make if they sell all kinds of other garbage too?
