    The end bit wasen't meant to be flamebait.

    I mean, I'd be the first to campaign her out if she was doing that kind of activity and the first to welcome her back when she straightened out again.

    Many crooks hide behind a charade of religion, everyone from Bin Laden to the Nigerian Spammers .

    Unfortunately this this reflects badly upon the truly religious people. All I can say is that I hope her church finds out and kicks her sorry ass out of it, I'd do it if she were in mine.

    I should have also added that its' easy to avoid the tarrif in Canada as well (and not have wasted an entire post).

    I mean BestBuy (Sux) and FutureShop(Sux2) aren't the only places to shop. If you go to your local immigrant run computer store, they all charge reasonable prices because they don't pay the tarrifs. At least thats what I've heard...

    No, I'm sorry, I have to disagree.

    If you've ever been in a heated argument and the other guy starts threatening you with physical violence then all your instinctive alarms go off and you begin to see red. Thats just where violence begins and its best at that point to keep keeping your cool and speak quietly and slowly even if the other jackass isn't.

    At least for me, there is a world-of-difference between that terrifying adrenaline rush caused by the possibility of actual violence and the violence in games. Two totally differenct worlds.

    That said, angry lunatics shouldn't have easy access to guns, like being allowed to keep them in the back of their cars.

    After reading your response to my comment it has made me seriously rethink what I said, as it was off the cuff at the time. Perhaps if I had been clearer and thought out my position I wouldn't have been so arrogantly elitist.

    Let me give a new, and more thought out position. Though, as in any argument, I'm willing to change position if I am proven incorrect (if you think this is worth responding too).

    Let me start by saying that there are 2 kinds of infomation, the first is the kind that one might use for research. This is factual or news or infomation which ideas and actions can be built upon. The second kind of infomation is that used in communication between people. It has great importance to those to who it is aimed at (your friends with whom you are conversing) but is essentially meaningless to other people.

    Where I went wrong in the previous post was that I condemned all infomation which is not of the first type, say, infomation which has no materially measurable value. Personal communication, such as is found in personal web pages, is very valuable to the individuals to whom it is aimed at (friends). That I should not have outright condemned as utterly worthless in every sense, however invaluable it is to me, and the rest of the world. Pictures of pets and poetry do still appear silly, at least to me.

    What set me off was this idea that we can all suffer from a glut infomation created by being exposed to everyone's personal infomation, infomation which is, outside of their circle of friends, invaluable; and that someone as famous as Sir Arthur C. Clarke should expect us to be concerned with it. IMHO, I think he was just doing what futurist's do, talking for the attention, but I could be wrong there. Infomation pollution would only be a problem if we couldn't avoid personal web sites or switch channels when there were ads on TV. That is not the case and hence, I believe, Infomation Pollution is a non-issue.

    As far as my comment that only a few geniuses are worth reading, I should have said that the people worth reading are all the hard-working experts in their fields (which is alot of people), whatever fields they may work in.
