My point was that neither of those is a guarantee of sex. And that to presume otherwise is at best, very rude.
(It's slashdot, I don't know what I was thinking trying to make such a point.)
Do you ask every single person who you go out with, before you've bought them dinner, whether or not they're going to have sex with you afterwards? If not, then you have no cause for complaint about being misled if you take someone out and then they go home without having sex with you.
(And let's not even talk about how women get used in this situation, or we could be here for days.)
You can not have it both ways. You can not say that the parents are responsible and at the same time say that kids should have the freedom to do what ever they want.
That is in no way what the sentiments about wanting to avoid laws against violent video games, or to keep GTA just the way it is mean. We're (at least, I'm) not advocating that children should be free to do anything they want...I'm saying that as an adult I should not have my freedom curtailed so that Suzy Homemaker can feel better about whether little Johnny's playing violent videogames or seeing porn on the internet.
Parents should be responsible for their children, and if they're not they should be the ones who suffer for it. Suing Myspace because you failed to protect your daughter is a waste of the court's time.
Not just that.
Eventually if they want the "hardcore" market, they will release a game that people want to play enough that they don't care how dumb the name is. (And I hate the name. With a burning passion. I hate it so much that when that game comes out I'm going to bribe someone else to actually say "Wii" to the guy at the store where I buy it. Or possibly just mutely point.)
But seriously. The fact that I hate it so much means that it has been stuck in my head. I've had conversations with people about it (which has stuck it in their heads). It's not as bad a move as it seems, even though I'll never like the name.
I have to point out that as a woman, and knowing a lot of women who play some videogames (yes, the fluffy social kind) we too hate the name "Wii", mostly because it looks pretty dumb.
Now, if they'd found a way to include "ponies" in the title...
They're not actually programs, they're laws. And small companies are forced to do it too without the support of the federal $$. Which is why when the service people eventually come home, employment numbers will tank again (probably on the back of a Democratic president, thus restarting this whole stupid cycle).

Hear hear!
I feel obligated for no really good reason to point out that that would end up *losing* them so much money that it would be pointless to try.
...and Hitler.

Yeah, that's because the Canadians actually guard their borders. (I know, I know. I'm trolling.)
You've made me nostalgic for the Geo Works days.
