People who far for this don't even deserve to have money in the first place.
I get 419s all the time, but for reasons I will never understand, I never get them from Nigeria. It's always Sierra Leone this or Niger that.
I'm willing to wager a guess why...
Scammer1: Dude, our scam is all over the American media, no ones goinna fall for our empty promises of Nigerian riches!
Scammer2: What if we... hum... say we're from Niger? It's not like the stupid Americans can figure it out
Scammer1: Brilliant! ...
Idiot: What's this? Some poor fellow in Niger wants me to help him get $100 Billion out of the country, and will give me... 20%! Oh, but is it a scam... no, of course not! This ones from Niger, not Nigeria like those other emails!
1) Players low balled the plauges ability to spread. I'm sure most just thought it would hand on their characters for a short bit, then disappear. When's the last time we saw a status ailment in anygame behave like this? Players didn't know what they were doing.
Well, save for some grievers who had the time of their pathedic virgin lives.
A lot of times, these diseases spread becuase of human ignorance. The contaminated blood is no different.
2) Containing and curing the epideminc. While transport in WoW is much more rapid then the real world, making the disease easier to spread, Blizzard was able to get a fix up in a short time. While WoW is hardly realistic in determining how a real world scenario would work, this is, so far, the best virtual model we have yet.
It kind of reminds me of Team Fortress Classic, whe the asshated n00b would catch the medics disease, and run sraight to the supply/respawn room to get medpacs, ifecting those near him. Over time, we learn that such silliness is not in the best interets of us, or the team, so we avoid most human contact and ask for medical assistance.
But when it happens out right out of the blue, BAM, logic goes to shit.
He can write any law he wants, but if the state courts think it's unconstitutional, they'll shoot it down.
It should be noted that Jack has a very strange view of the First Amendment...
From a short spot Jack had on Nancy Grace:
Thompson: Yes. The 1st Amendment, people who understand the 1st Amendment know does not protect the right of a company to sell an M-rated game to a child.
Nancy Grace: Jack, Jack, I`ve...
Thompson: Children don`t have a 1st Amendment... (EDITOR'S NOTE: What??? All citizens are covered by the First Amendment)
Corporate responsibility is a big thing. If she argues, say, that only the residents of a small town who got sick from a toxic dump can be part of the class in a class action suit against ToxicCo? What about the people who had to live next to it but didn't suffer from anything visual yet?
And how can Microsoft get away with passing the bill for software fixes to consumers?
I, for one, question her intelligence. I found a White house Q&A from late October, 2004...
Hi, I would like to say that Bush is has the right idea about the "No Child Left Behind" program. Now clebrating its second year, for the first time children in the grades 3-8 will be tested with reading and math tests to figure out their abilities to work with such subjects. Great job and keep up the good work. Billy
You may notice the flagrant grammar errors, and wonder to yourself about just how effective NCLB has been. I'd like to point out, that the above is not a question! What does Miers think?
Harriet Miers Hi, Billy, and good next question!
Question? You'd think a laywer would be able to tell the difference between a question an a suck up, but yet... here we are!
Last March, the Council of Great City Schools released a study and reported that the achievement gap in both math and reading between African Americans and whites, and Hispanics and whites, is narrowing.
Either Whity is getting dumber, or you actually believe this program is working.
Thanks for your question, Billy.
There she goes again! WTF indeed!
The ret of the page is largley made of questions that look like they were writen by staff. No real hard, serious questions.

Now I walk down the street listing to my CDs without fear that those nasty file swappers will steal my music from me! What a turdload!
