First thing I thought of when I read this is how we should drop 50 nuclear bombs...I don't know where, when and how, but damn it!!! 50 nuclear bombs need to be dropped somewhere!!
Maybe as part of these massive lawsuits that keep happening a federal provision should be setup that say 20% of all winnings in a lawsuit go to educational funds.
For reference, I am 11 year NAVY serving on active duty right now. I routinely deploy 6-7 months. 3.5 years at my last tour, I was on land for less than a year. My first command I did 3 years as a submarine rider. Granted, I am on my shore duty right now, but my son even in school has had it FAR easier than me. And my yearly income is roughly 55k USD a year. But, I have a Associated in Criminal Justice and a Bachelors in Computer Science geared towards forensic investigation.
I agree with education. Sadly, the educators of our children (teachers and parents) are failing. Parents now leave it to government to raise our children. Those, like me who want to raise my child now have government telling me how I can and cannot (my children still get the hand on the butt when they act up sometimes even though it is wrong now by gov policy). My children know right from wrong. My children play violent video games I admit (Spiderman, Sonic, Mario and such), but I can tell you, I will not tolerate the ilk coming out now for them until they are much older.
I'm not against violence. I understand its point in games as a way to vent. My point is why must we have stuff like this produced where there is no point in the game other than to kill people?
I've posted this before, but my son's homework time is family time. Me and my wife sit down with him, help him with his homework, explain alternatives to get same result, and or just generally explain why something is and why it has to be that way. His teachers are not overly fond that he doesn't always do it there way but the way he understands best, but they say they appreciate the time we take to help him learn. My son can think, and that's not thanks to schools. I largely contribute his prowess to video games. I pushed video games on him early to help with his fine motor skills due to him having mild cerebral palsy. I understand kids especially needing to vent but I don't think him playing a violent video game killing people for sport is the venting anyone needs. What happens when the game isn't available?
You reference Rainbow 6 and Zombies and Vampires.. Like I mentioned, I'm not against violence. I am against popularizing it being cool to take a real life scenario like murder, and rape, and pimping. You say you are grounded, but look outside at most of todays youth. I have a 22 (brother-in-law) year old for instance (I am 29) I have to raise because he can't get his ass in gear and do the right thing. This punk has threatened to beat my ass cause he feels that just mowing my yard is equal to room/board for a month. I don't want to make this sound like a stereo-type, but all of his friends (I know of 30+ personally) are all the same. They find it fine to live in there cars, or in one instance, sleep on my porch until I woke up and found them. These aren't grounded individuals, and I would like to say they are a shrinking minority, but that isn't the case. These kids are having kids and raising them with the same values. These are the ones imo are susceptible to going over the edge and slipping into a reality these games offer and taking it away afterwards.
Not to mention the fact that as a society most of our kids are glued to the screen playing video games non-stop. Till I moved out into the country away from everything and my children now have mass expanses of area to SAFELY play outside, I had a hard time getting my oldest son to do something besides play video games. Now I am supposed to allow him vent time because he had a hard day at school before he does his homework?
I'm not against violence like I said..But I used to enjoy doom style games for that. I knew it was fantasy sure, but there is a certain satisfaction to killing a demon.
Can anyone give me a valid reason why games like this should even be produced? I'm all for violence in video games as long as the violence doesn't portray actual acts. I remember when I was younger and had a intellivsion, then an atari 2600, C64, Tandy CoCo2, NES, SNES, and all the way up to my first pentium. Up till that point, it seemed games were about being fun, and exploring ones mind with a vast majority of the games. Now its just about how many people you can kill before you are gunned down yourself.
Do we really need this kind of reckless abandon in our games? Sure I understand games are not the cause, but with the great majority of people suffering more and more mental illnesses for whatever reason, do you want someone already on the edge to have this material?
OMG!! A patent on bodily functions and movement processes. I'm gonna patent "Walking from point A to point B with the intended affect of arriving at point B to accomplish a task"..
I think I will patent the process of eating too...
From some experience in my town in various locales there, what can you do not inside your own home without a CCTV camera seeing you from some obscure angle.
I was of the same mind on this as you. I would liken it more to a disease immunity where your body creates anti-bodies to fight off things that don't belong.
I see everyones point and I think that if everyone started using a similar system, then quite possibly everyone would have to authorize. Maybe, a registered mail system like goodmail could be who I send the C/R too in the future. Or better yet SPF. Right now though, since I know its of limited use, I am sending mail to people who are possibly running zombie software and am alerting them of this in the C/R message that if they didn't send it they should check for such things.
The amount of people who get this is C/R is pretty limited. I use whitelist and blacklist and spam filters before even passing to the C/R system. After reading the complaints and such I do see that I need should try maybe a little harder to just avoid the C/R system altogether with more advanced greylisting.
I do use spamd with pf on freebsd for all my confirmed that are blacklisted. I know I am manually doing some of the work. Its still taking out a lot of the work as I only have to read emails from whitelisted and those who do respond to the auto-reply. I know its cumbersome but it cuts false positives out. And anyway, my whitelist is huge and my prefilter catches most spam that like I said is obvious. The only people affected are people who have not sent me mail before.
I could default to allow one to pass and everything AFTER goes to pending with the reply process..
I see your point and it has caused me to think of a slight rework to how I greylist. The auto-reply is only sent once, after that I whitelist, or blacklist 95% of the time. Sometimes I remove it cause I feel certain enough that it was a zombie machine. I need to work in a weight system to the greylist and whitelist both. For confirmed spam, an auto reply never gets sent.
I would envision having a scale of say 1-10, and anyone above a 7 remains whitelisted if already are. 4-6 send a warning of why future mailings will be decline, 2-3, reject mail with replay, and 1 blacklist.
For the people I remove from greylist, I was thinking of a 3 strikes your out scenario.

I wonder what the going rate is for an identity?
I would plead innocent that I DID NOT kill myself and that I am alive as proof.

To date, I have already had 28 people come to me to wipe Vista and put XP on Vista pre-loads. What part of the planet is switching?
And now you see his approval rating below 32% with over 65% in complete disapproval of him.

Well, for one, you would be sentenced for illegal distribution of copyrighted material.
Cheese is made from milk.. Think of all the starving calves out there!!!!
That's gonna make for a short lived stance.
