If I remember correctly several luxury car brands are owned by the same company as cheaper brands. (I know this because I tried to make a similar analogy when Dell bought Alienware)
The Wii is a social catalyst masquerading as a game console. Wii games, for the most part, are not games like, say, Bioshock, or even like Bejeweled. They exist to smooth over awkward pauses.
It is a social catalyst. Wii games are designed so you can do crazy stuff with your hands and have fun with your friends. The Wii does not bring a social aspect to gaming, it brings a veneer of gaming to socialization.
Really, I've never seen a game "push graphics over gameplay". The games I hear people talk about--Bioshock, Half-Life and progeny, Halo, etc.--are all focused on gameplay and story. Maybe it was like that in the 90s when we first started to have decent graphics and maybe it's like that on the console market where you're just starting to have decent graphics but most PC games aren't like that.
If you google for a searchable Bible or Qu'ran, you will find a searchable Bible or Qu'ran on the website of a practicing Christian or Muslim. If you google for a searchable OT III, you will find a searchable OT III on xenu.net and not on the website of a practicing Scientologist.
Most religions(the Vatican notwithstanding) don't withhold their most sacred texts, and you can find the Bible or Qu'ran or Torah or whatever Hindus read on the Internet, usually posted by their most ardent followers. With Scientology, you can only find them on places like Operation Clambake. (Actually, for that matter, the Vatican mostly withholds texts of other religions...)
Doesn't matter that it's genetic. What matters is the harm it does to the children, and yes it does harm children. If you had the "murderer gene" would that mean that you should not be arrested for murder? I don't care to burn people in hell, I'd be just as happy if pedophiles just spent their whole days masturbating to lolicon, I just don't want them psychologically scarring kids.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were monsters, by the way. They considered cunnilingus more morally wrong than rape.
But not all pedophiles are murderous rapists. If pedophiles are more likely to kill children it is because of the harsh punishment given to pedophiles--when all child kidnapping had the death penalty all child kidnappers were more likely to kill the kids if their demands weren't met.
Your grandparent said that Libertarianism comes when fear is destroyed and I was showing that the form of libertarianism that has kept Ron Paul afloat is almost entirely fear-based.
To say it abandoned socialism is an oversimplification. China is still very socialist, more so than Europe. Libertarianism a la Ron Paul is still laughed at there.
It costs more now to buy a house because we don't build our own houses anymore. It costs more now to educate your kid because education is better now. It costs more now to see a doctor because hospital services are better now. Seriously.
it took less work to see the doctor in 1965 than it does today. Primarily because private insurance is a bitch and wastes a third of its money on taking yours(much, much worse than the IRS), and secondarily because a doctor visit is worth more nowadays.
I don't like his ideas because I know what states' rights actually entail. I know that without the Federal Government the Arkansas police would have shot down the Little Rock Nine.

Isn't that the one that was a remake of a game from 1994?

Funny thing is that surgeons who played video games were usually more accurate.
I'm not fully sure but I know every browser has one vulnerability. It's between keyboard and chair.
Hey look! I've lived under a rock the past three years and don't know what xkcd is!

Usually if it's something like that you shouldn't need that much alcohol.
Free will has been dead since the discovery of the neural firing mechanism.

In general, foreign policy experts don't have names like "Master of Transhuman" on Slashdot.
There aren't that many fanboys in general. If that many people supported Ron Paul not all of them would be diehard enough to be called fanboys.
This one was signed by Ron Paul.
With Clinton vs McCain my choices will almost certainly depend on how McCain responds to the Ann Coulter types in the coming months.
