I would contend that Bill O'Reilly is trying to define "normal societal interactions" much like most conservatives are in a bid to restrict the freedom of normal people. They begin by saying "normal people interact with others" and they are then given the right to criticize anything that distracts from social interaction? I mean, I'm not advocating being anti-social (I'm a CS major, but I have friends, romantic relationships, attend parties, participate in social groups...), but on the other hand I think it's a bit ballsy for Billy boy to say "this is how society is" when the rest of his reporting suggests that he's so completely disconnected with reality and gamer society that he isn't the least bit aware of what society is. All he knows is what he thinks it's supposed to be and tries to force his opinions on others; this is the problem with modern conservatism.

Easily put: Post hoc ergo propter hoc - child kills. child played video games, therefore videogames made him kill. The more proper analysis would be that videogames helped him cope with what would have made him kill even earlier.
It seems Nintendo found that gun they used to shoot themselves in the foot with so long ago... "We're not pursuing internet gaming" "We want the gamecube to be a kid-friendly console" "What's an RPG?"
It wasn't the holocaust that finally justified us going to war, it was the intercepted memo sent to Mexico offering them Texas and the attack on Pearl Harbor. We didn't care that millions of Jews were being gassed because it *wasn't our problem* as it should be. When there's a threat towards the nation, THAT is the justification for war. Not this global interventionism. Still, we've tried using "immediate threat" to justify war despite the double-standard our politicians raise. We tell our citizens one story while we tell congress another, ie: WWII: People: They kill lots of jews, let's get 'em! Congress: They attacked us, let's get 'em! Korea/Vietnam: People: Communists are bad! Congress: The spread of the influence of the communist state presents an immediate threat to the security of the free world! Iraq: People: Saddam is a bad man! He kills people! Congress: Saddam has weapons of mass destruction!
So you can actually perform something with an interventionary aim while justifying it as self-defense.
"The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first...The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: "It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war." Then the few will shout even louder...Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it... Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." - Samuel Langhorne Clemens
What? Please contort statistics more. 3% volunteerism, okay, what about OTC? what about reserves? what about the family members of those soldiers? spouses? children? parents? If you counted one parent per volunteer, you'd already be driven to 6%, above the 5% in Congress, so sir, YOUR argument falls apart.
GDB, GCC, MySQL, OpenLDAP, OpenSSH, etc. are in the "Okay, we understand why we need a TLA/FLA for this.", and in my opinion are better than Visual Studio, Oracle, Microsoft IIS (non-sequitur of a TLA?)

(This post is where my signature will make its debut of relevancy) The pharmaceutical industry would take a huge hit when happy-pills and antinauseals take a falling out due to their replacement. Marijuana is INCREDIBLY good for clinical depression (in my experience). Also, the most "dangerous" thing about marijuana in the eyes of those in power is that the limits on it cannot be strictly defined. How much does it take to impair your driving?

For an average-weight individual, there's a higher chance you'll die from asphyxiation due to the amount of smoke you're inhaling than from THC overdose.

Slashdot Mirror
You're both fucking shills.
yeah, it's funny, you know:
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
privilege of writ of habeas corpus implies that habeas corpus is a privilege. I think random house says it best:
privilege - n. the principle or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities.
so basically The right of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended; not only do people have the right but it's unsuspendable.
Also, Alberto Gonzales should rot in the ninth circle of hell with the rest of those who betray their country.
I lost it at "educate people"
funny joke.

And you, as well.
Do raving bushbots have glowsticks? You know, for their raving.
I can see how this would be a problem. After all, it's not like they practice sit-ups in bootcamp.
Dude I fought Ragnaros yesterday and he didn't lie to me once.
And motivation for the expansion of the vending machine program to such a pissant country. Like say, literacy.
Fixed and bracing for impact. Do with me as you like, mods. *spreads cheeks*
It's fine, this is a repost from some point during this summer. The KillerNIC is an overpriced piece of junk. Nothing to see here...

I'd do more of a:

Most things collapse under the weight of just one xbox. I'm surprised that Amazon survived as long as it did under something so hueg.

Also, lol, Bill is a better troll than me.
ummm... take a US government class, please. There are a lot of people besides congress who can write bills. The president is one of them.
Well, you're a special case. There's no remotes or VCRs between the kitchen and the bed, so no need to fret too much about *that*.
Eh, a computer, some ramen, a fleshlight.
Good to go. ~
