  1. but will it be better than the xbox720? on PS3s Online Services to Compete With XBox 360 · · Score: 0, Troll

    that's FIRST post buddy... well the PS3 will be better in every way than the xbox360, but what sony should really be worried about is will it be better than the xbox720? at this rate it looks like by the time PS3 hits the market the xbox360 won't even be the competition

  2. The CT state government took my family's house on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When I was 8 years old after a long legal battle the CT state department of transportation eminent domained my Family's land and many of our neighbors. They wanted to build a highway that didn't need to be built and for which they had been expressly told by the department of environmental protection that they could never have the permits to build. Among other things we had a river in our back yard, 90% of the land was considered wetlands, and the property abutted Nathan Hale State Forest ( I'll point out some of the land for which was sold to the state at a deep discount by my grandfather who was/is an avid conservationist) My parents were given $180,000 for a house that was appraised at $280,000. Beyond the value of the property my entire extended family lived right in the same area (grandfather was a farmer who gave his land to his children) My aunt and her family lived across the street, and my uncle and his family lived next door. Needless to say my family was scattered after they took their houses too. Today more than 17 years later the highway was never built and the house which my father built with his own hands on land his father gave him sits abandoned. I hope the people in New London stand their ground against the bulldozers. And when the first officer comes to physically remove them from their land I'll be crying tears of joy if they blow his head off with a shotgun.
