By your logic, we should simply build a lot of islands exactly 201 miles from the Chinese coast and declare them "ours", and institute 200 mile range out towards the chinese coast, then bitch when their ships launch.
Tell that to my friend who had her long time friend stabbed to death. I'm sure he often sits around in the afterlife contemplating how much better his death by stabbing was to a death by gunshot.
I really hate how people, fantastically successful at one task/job, suddenly decide they're superior and all-knowing in all areas. "Oh yes, I made billions making and selling on operating system. So naturally I'm a genius in history education" "Oh yes, I was a big hit modelling naked and being on a talk show, so naturally I can pontificate on how immunizations cause autism" "Oh yes, I'm a big star of screen and film, and they pay me millions to act. So naturally, my political views are unimpeachable"
In the end, correct representations of women in gaming will probably require women writing/authoring/controlling the game production. I'm curious what a rah rah super macho action game would be like made entirely by women with no male input. I'm sure it would be equally stupid. Or, alternately, very funny.
There are times in life when you need to admit " I'm just digging this hole further down", and let it go. That time for you, in this argument, is now. However, I know you won't.
It's hard to take over a country yourself when you're trying to pretend you're not helping the locals, and said locals aren't really good at taking over a country. Like the US support of the various South Vietnamese Governments during the Vietnam war: If your "allies" are incompetent, corrupt idiots, it's really hard to make things work.
I occasionally post AC to reply to people who, I feel, are a bit "too emotional".( The AC post your referencing wasn't mine, BTW). I sometimes like to make a point, then move on without having someone take potshots at me for disagreeing with them. For example, If I somewhat mistakenly believed (truly, I do not, honestly!) that Host Files are useless and not worthy of the media they're stored upon, I would most certainly post AC when commenting on an statement by a certain Host File evangelist.
But if that's the case, then the government should simply say "Do not us the proprietary MS format going forward, use format X". I don't see how Microsoft factors into this, other than grandstanding.
Wait, did you just tie non-backwards compatibility to monopoly dominance? Seems to me if someone wanted to maintain a monopoly, they'd stay forever backwards compatible, to keep people from ever changing.
I find it interesting that white rice always gets the blame laid on it, but there are literally billions of healthy people who eat white rice almost three times daily.
"running around your house on a gasoline powered vacuum cleaner destroyer bot." Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
So the suggestion is, have stringent environmental demands on the appliance and then have someone buy two? I bet you flush your low flow toilet four times, don't you?

"Maybe we could get rid our desire to have sex"
The hard core feminists already have kind of done that....
Please, keep talking, I find your unabashed partisanship amusing.

so....you don't trust the CIA and the US government, until they say what you want, at which point their logic is unimpeachable?

I get the feeling that the United States at this point couldn't overthrow a volleyball over a low wall made of aluminum cans.
Oh, how I wish I had mod points...

Actually, I'm curious about your views on the H1N1/bird flu, as it sounds like you're not just pulling stuff off the internet and quoting it.

You do realize that all the countries that have nukes DO have nukes pointed at their capital cities, right?
He's probably trying to type it on a useless Windows 8 tablet. Everything I attempt on that monstrosity ends up like that.
