I would have to say that the only drug my code soaked mind enjoys is the occasional bowl of marijuana and for those fun camping trips in the rockes in lovely colorado mushrooms make for a good time.
I find it hard to believe kids think they need these kinds of drugs to do good on tests... what kind of edge do you need to regurgitate and fill in bubbles on a scantron? hell there are only 4 to 5 choices!
In star trek synthahol was non-alcoholic drinks, except in the star trek universe they tasted good, or just like the original would. so the synthahol equivalent of whisky would taste exactly like whisky but without the effects like getting drunk and having a hang over. It didnt just show up in next generation either, it was alive and well in the 60's show as well. they even mentioned at some point that it doesnt get you drunk, thats why scotty kept a secret stash of scotch under one of the armor helmets in his quarters. I believe McCoy kept a stash too for "special occasions".
Even in TNG they mention that synthahol is non-alcoholic. after picard gets turned into a borg and back again he goes home to see his brother, they get together and statrt to drink some real wine, picard's brother says to him that this is the real deal, you might loose control. Not like that synthahol garbage the military makes you drink.
so technically we already have a synthahol type equivalent, so drink up your o'doules (sp?)!
here is a general rule of thumb: Anyone can take offence at Anything Anyone says or does.
humans are like that. one person could take offence that there is not GBLT friendly guilds and want something done about it... why should we only cater to one set of whiners needs? what if someone takes offence at a GBLT friendly guild? what do we do about them? how do we make everyone happy?
do we disregard the people who find the GBLT friendly guild offencive and call them biggots? or do we disregard the people who find the lack of GBLT friendly guilds offencive and call them biggots? favoring one thing over another and calling all those who oppose "evil" makes you just as "evil" as they. what people dont understand is that good and evil is not absolute... its relative (to the side you are on).
insults are only insults when they are precieved as one. noone else can MAKE you feel anything, the only person in the universe that can MAKE you feel a certian way is you. flame me all you want, the only one who is going to care is you.
next time someone says something is gay, say "no, thats hetero!" now you both sound like an idiot and who cares what an idiot says?
I dont need a video game to tell me its ok to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana... I would think that most college aged people (18-21) also dont need a video game to tell them its ok to smoke and drink...
i guess DARE was wrong... its not the need to be accepted by your peers that drive one to drugs and alcohol, its ones need for their XBox to love them back.
I wonder when ford and other car companies are going to step in and demand justice because GTA encourages violent behavior towards cars?
or maybe the anti-gun people would like to jump on board becuase GTA encourages kids to carry 10 consealed weapons on their persons at any given time including rocket launchers and flame throwers!
I personally find it offencive that you can run a red light in GTA and not have any consiquenses.
since when has bitching about shit taken the place of independant thought?
"two independant thought alarms in one day?" -seymore skinner
has the sales fallen because of the obvious oppressive behavior of the record companies and the RIAA? people dont want to buy music becasue once we buy it we are not allowed to listen to it with out specific permission from the RIAA the record company and the artist and have all the paperwork noterized, and thats for each song on the album! the "consumer" is irritated with this horse shit, so might as well stick it to the "man" and download or rip your friend's CDs to your Ipod/zen.
if they throw everyone in jail, wont we end up with an overpopulated and generally useless burden on society prison system?
boy all this cloak and dagger stuff comming from nintendo has got my interest peaked. It just maybe a marketing ploy to generate a buzz, and for some reason its working on me. [must buy nintendo, must drink blood of non-believers]
Personnally I am a PC gamer, and I have had time to play the 360 and such, and they are not too impressive. they have gfx that ive seen on PC for years(and at higher res), and FPS games should not be played with a stick, it just doesnt make any sence. Not to mention RTS!
revolution seems to be getting the idea as to what a console if for, why mimic a PC when you can have a PC(and without the hot Power Supply issues). The revolution looks like it will "define" a console. (nintnedo has done it yet again)
yea, who really cares what some fat sack of crap with his head up his ass thinks about art? Art lies in the eye of the beholder. if you like it, and think that its art then boom! its art!
just like; I, not mat "makonihay", am the sexiest man alive!!
will this system be riddled with rootkits and other crazy software to render CDs and DVDs that are not made by sony usable only as a coaster after atempting to watch it on your PS3? or will it only destroy games that you borrow from your friends?
the clothes one wears should reflect their own tastes and desires. one should not wear clothes or hell even think what another dictates to them, we saw how well that worked in the 40's.
"but wearing a tool suit is what the business world is about, so you might as well roll over." true as that is, doesn't make it right. It just goes to show how shallow and lazy people really are. If you don't want to do business with me because my shoes are "drove" then you have saved me alot of time and effort dealing with your worthless ass. A suit is not going to hide the fact that you are a jackass, so why not be confortable.
of course if a suit and tie is what you like and think is comfortable, then so be it. dont tell everyone else who doesnt think a suit and tie is comfortable that they are a heritic and should be burned at the stake.
shoes != man;
con artists and mobsters wear tool suits too, so they must be fine up standing citizend eh?
"we wont report you to the authorities"
sounds an awful lot like a cop telling you: "if you tell me where the drugs are ill let you go, jsut be honest."
its cool that its an "opt-in" kind of thing, my gut feeling is its a simple program that just says "del *.avi" or "del *.mp3" and calls it good. goes to show that the music biz is getting bored of rolling around in their piles of money.
I think there is a more imminent danger that is being marketed directly at our children than the intangible fantacy that is a video game. maybe we sould be spending our time stopping the tobacco companies from selling their very REAL death to our children. If you take away video games, our children are left with shitty TV, Cigarettes, internet porn and homework.
governmental bodies need to stop waisting time chasing the boogey man and get after the serial killers.
wait a min here... lest we forget that humans are animals. so, they are cross breeding animals with animals... thats unheard of!
just a bad way of wording things.

nice and counter-productive.
