    Ripping someone's ear off (or trying, since it's sooo hard to get a good grip when they are punching you) is going to make them very very angry at you. Kicking them in the nuts will, too.

    I don't think you get into a lot of fistfights in real life. There are ways to "stop" a person, but those ain't it. (think knife/stabbing) All that other crap you talking is silly. Stop giving fight advice.

    And your snappy comebacks will just likely lead to escalation...right then or later when he/they catches you alone. Try talking shit to an aggressive macho man...he'll love that. Seriously, stop giving fight advice...nobody's taking it anyway.

    I'm not talking about that...you somehow brought the discussion down to general recycling:

    "Even though it's been illegal to throw aluminum cans in the trash in Raleigh (NC) for several years now, PEOPLE STILL DO. And everyone with municiple trash pickup gets *2* green recycling bins. So, obviously they have a choice and choose not to. One might extrapolate that some people might not recycle light bulbs either. As there's no obvious places to recycle them around here, it's not much of an option.

    Maybe CA has those bins because state and/or local laws require it?"

    And then I said...Nope. And then you said...

    So take it easy, bro! Nobody's perfect.

    Nope. We do it because we have to pay for trash, and the more we recycle, the less we trash, the smaller bin we have to pay for.

    Plus it helps the environment supposedly. Personally I sort of resent helping the environment just so others can shit on it...NYC doesn't recycle! Of all the places in the world, they of all people should....they are barbarians and savages. Anyway, doesn't make sense but I still feel resentment.

    Approval, or popularity, makes perfect sense. And that is what people grow up knowing and believing in.

    The system is stunningly simple and transparent. Quite the opposite to what we have today. People vote (or usually not) and blindly hope that the results that come out of the machine are to their favor.

    Our current system is intentionally convoluted to try to protect against popular opinion and public will. Judicial system, tax code, electoral college, you name it. All of them disenfranchise the public and it's not by accident.

    49% of a district, and then state, and then nation loses any and all representation. And that's IF the electoral rep decides to abide by the voters. The stakes are too high and the system is too easy to game and most people know this. And that's why nobody votes and/or cares.

    And by the way, what is wrong with a one-party system? That means NO parties, and pure democracy, as we are all in the same party, same nation, and we vote for who leads us. Sounds like an improvement.

    The analogy needs to compensate for spreading "your property" all over the place, spilling out into the street, the neighbor's property, etc.

    So let's say you have a really bright light in/on your house. It lights up the street, the next door yard, the alley in back. Sure, that light is paid for by you and uses your electricity, whatever. Are you going to get mad at somebody walking down the street and using said light to read a paper?

    You are spilling your signal all over the place, potentially even interfering with other's signals. If you don't take steps to prevent it, how can they not take advantage of it, and why would they not?

    Terrible law, if it's upheld.

    Give it a 30GB internal hard drive and improve the battery. Even improve the web browser to play youtube and flash in general. Skype would be huge. Make some sort of sharing via wifi possible.

    All they have to do is un-Sony the PSP and it will rock. Step one: add a 20/30 GB hard drive, ipod style. The memory stick limitation is killing them.

    Already has a great little screen and it's able to get online via wifi. Make the wifi able to share files amongst other devices...even just PSP users, and you got something.

    As a portable gaming device, it's limited. As a universal portable media device it will sell like an ipod. Make it run Skype and flash video via the wifi and I'll even buy a few.
