The average smoker will spend several TIMES as much in taxes as the averge non-smoker, as nearly HALF of a pack's price in Canada is pure taxes. That's 3-5$ on every 5-10$ pack going straight to the government. No product in existence has as much taxes - not even gas, which is only about 35% taxed!
Smokers, in CANADA, pay MORE than their healthcare costs in taxes.
He may have made Diablo II, but he, astoundingly, doesn`t GET Diablo II. Diablo II offered the same single-player experiecne online, for sure - but that's if you played alone and...well..why play online, then? No, what made Diablo II great was that you could hop into a game and combine forces with other players to dramatically increase your power, much more than even the same two players alone but combined would achieve. Not so with a tiered service. Why would a paying customer want to play with a gimped free player when he could play with other fully-powered paying customers? It makes about as much sense as a Wookie from the planet Kashyyyk living on Endor with a bunch of Ewoks.
I can't your complete GUESS fo a post got modded "Insightful". You have on insight whatsoever on the mind of the poster, and only threw out your lameass generalization of the Anti-Sony mindset in a balatant attempt at Karma-whoring.
Only WITH the FISA, they'll get to die of torture/self-inflicted starvation while wearing an orange jumpsuit in Club Gitmo while under "suspicion of terrorism". It's much nicer. I mean, who the hell woudl think that the FOreign Intelligence Suveillance act would need to stay restricted to surveillance of FOREIGN nationals? By the way, War is Peace and we have always been at war with Oceania....

Imagine (ho ho!) what would hpapen if Google were to invest in thought-imaging technlogoy, in order to accurately represent thought processes. People would have G-Implants (tm) in their brain recording their thoughts for others ot peruse!
and in the process mangled my second paragraph's introductory sentence. It sohuld read "Voting is a citizen's primary civic duty and the only such duty he is likely to need to perform in his entire life".
What were you thinking? Are you aware of the immense potential for abuse your "solution" brings? What's to stop people from STEALING votes ? Corporations BUYING votes? The Government convienently "forgetting" to mail the coupons to primarily hostile (read : Not affiliated with the party in power) districts?
A citizenentire life. I wish people would take it more seriously and realize that they do not havwe the right to an anonymous vote and that post-facto verification of te votes impacts them in no way whatsoever.
Whatever happeneed to standing up for what we believe in? Why are we afraid that others will know we believe in Party X's stance on immigration? Are we but a nation of cowards?

I think of Ned Flanders, angrily monitoring every single piece of television being broadcast, lest he allow his children to be exposed to the filth they might contain, everytime I see ridiculous labels like "Alcohol Reference" Hell, Mass has alcohol references.

So not only are you addicted to D&D, you are now compelled to play lest your character face consequences in his inaction? That sounds incredily unhealthy for the mental wellbeing of any individual; it amounts to playing under duress. At least if I don't play WoW for a few months the only thing I lose out on is repetitive grinding and not the end of the world.
D&D's "advantages" ae also its flaws; the two games (D&D and WoW) are so fundamentally different that any claim of superiority is hogwash.
As a mission manager you'd have next to no reprimand if anything goes wrong (see: columbia aftermath), even as a direct result of policies you've implemented and the decisions you make.
The astronauts are trained not to worry about these because they have t ooperate a highly complicated SPACEFARING VEHICLE, so they won'nt be the wiser until shit starts breaking off.
Frankly, I would make the call with a big, shit-eating grin on my face. THAT'll teach those nasa flyboys not to trust a bunch of PHBs on the ground.

The one clearly added in your quest log? With the little "Suggested players : X" in the description log?
Granted, they haven't gotten around to doing every single Elite-Mob-Bearing quest yet but it's there.
Why make the low-level grind any shorter? It already takes good players less than a day to get to level 20...and just over an hour to get to level 10.
What, you mean like how the PS3 is crushing Wii sales?
Oh wait...
Maybe how the DS was already being submerged under PSP sales!
Hmmm...
I'd call it homophobic - and the dictionary agrees with me.
Insecurity would be avoiding to look at other men because you feel inferiror to them
No, he's even worse than that time I was in court being defended by *insert 80's pop culture icon*.
*cue wacky flashback*
Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it - particularly, people paying for purely aesthetic differences.

And you were selling chemical weapons to him during the iraq-iran conflict. What the hell is your point? We're talking about NOW, not 15 years ago.
So why did your comment get modded Insightful while mine was Funny? Man, I would pay for some Google Mind records of the mods in this thread.
