Technology means nothing when you can't feed your army.
When is the last time you left your basement? We are on the continent of farm land. The Army will be fed. Have you seen their salary? Most are already working for peanuts!
To end ALL discussions of "game addiction" let me say this. Ones self-worth is not dictated by the gears/gold/achieves one has in game. If it is, there are other issues at hand that do not involve the game at all. If your self-worth is so low that you get divorced, then you probably should not have married her to begin with if she did not raise your self worth from "pond scum dirty dog", to King. If you your self worth is so low that you lose your job...chances are it was a crappy job, and you were not really important to the company anyhow. If you didn't feel important then you weren't. If others around you didn't make you feel important as a provider, then you weren't.
Seriously, who over the age of 25 has 5-10 hours a day to spend playing a video game?
Anyone without kids, and/or a wife who is cool with it. You only need to play 5-10 hours a day if you suck. If you are half ass good at video games, you can play 5-10 hours a week, and still see all end game/end patch content. A good raiding guild raids twice a week for 4 hours a night 2 days a week, and clears and/or makes progress.
You don't ever really "win" anything in life. Lottery winners go bankrupt like 33% of the time, if you went to state/college championship you still didn't win the Super Bowl, so you're a loser! In no aspect of life is there ever a clear winner. Someone somewhere is better than you at whatever you claim to be the best at. If people have fun playing why tread on them? Is it because they are not like you? Are you better than them because you choose not to play? Is you're wife better than thier's because she would be appauled if you spent 5-10 hours a week doing something you enjoyed?
I've always wanted a pinball table, but I never got one for fear of bad parts and expensive repairs. I'm fine with a $2,000 investment on a good table, but have no idea what to look for and what to avoid. Anyone one have suggestions?
If the Taliban buried homosexuals alive every single swinging dick would have been home years ago, and when Bush stood under that victory banner it would have been the truth.
In September of 2007 is the first time I ever met someone with an Iphone. She told me, "The goverment wants to to get rid of pro-choice so they have more kids to fight their wars." Regardless of how you feel either way, on either issue (abortion/the wars) this is simply a retarded statement.
Deadliest Catch is best "reality" show. It's so good I wouldn't even put it in a category with all the other edited shows dubbed as "reality." Defiantly in a class of its own, and defiantly the only one worth watching.
My dad was the marine, he was in ATC. He's an asshole, and I don't talk to him..
So your a military brat? You don't speak with your father? This explains so much. What he did is irrelevant, other than the fact that it shows you are proud of his service, and perhaps you are the failure in his eyes, so he doesn't want you talking to him. All of which doesn't surprise me...judging from the frequency of your comments you spend far to much time on the computer, and not enough time engaging in masculine activities such as sports, sex, and beer.
Cigarettes are expensive that doesn't stop people from smoking a carton a week. It's been a while, but I'd say on average mind you, that you can get 1/2 ounce of marijuana for the price of a carton of cigarettes ($60 national average)
14 grams in 7 day's qualifies as a pothead IMO. Casual would be more like 1/2 ounce a month or average of joint or less a day.
Logical fallacy: misdirection. This is irrelevant.
Agreed, I'm from Wisconsin just talking experience.
you are pushing an anti-cannabis agenda.
You are paranoid, I'm not against you sir. I push no agenda. It does however seem though you think the benefits of marijuana to people who do actually need it is a cure for them. It's not. Yes, it takes away pain, and helps in many ways that no other drug can. It is a miracle drug without a doubt. It is not a cure though. Making someone eat who normally would not only prevents other health issues, it doesn't solve the one causing them to not eat.
Legal recreational use will create unforeseen problems, while perhaps minor, it will not result in world peace.
No they are still wet. Wet plants don't burn well. That's why you don't see wildfires in southern Louisiana. Usually during busts marijuana plants are up rooted, put in a pile, and use some fire source.
We all know that inhaling burning plant material creates by-products such as: tar, ash, CO2, carbon monoxide and other gases & carcinogenic elements, because so much time and money has been spent on proving this with tobacco. Nobody ever talks about the strain legalizing it would put on the health care system. Clearly it would contribute to some people getting cancer. No not everyone would just like not all cigarette smokers get cancer, and don't give me that bullshit you read on the inside of the Cypress Hill CD that there has never been a documented death from smoking marijuana.
I do realize that a casual marijuana smoker does smoke far less often than even a light cigarette smoker, but how many strait up potheads are there to the casual 1 gram or less a day smokers? 100 to 1? Your guess is as good as mine, I just think if we are going to be realistic about this issue we should also be genuine with our intent to improve our quality of life.
This being Slashdot, I understand how this might seem confusing to some readers, but that's actually the way some romances happen. A guy meets a girl, likes her, tries to impress her, and amazingly, it works.
Look! I found the guy who this applies to!
Maybe if you didn't have peanut butter breath you would have found love during your not-so-average elitist lifetime =D
No I didn't find it creepy. I was very impressed with the commercial. It instantly came to me near the end that they were illustrating they're long term commitment to excellent searches. Google has been in business now (if your a 20 something) for over half our lives, and this was a sped up version of what an "average" person may have Googled over their lifetime. It has always been there for you. It has always got you what you wanted to know. The top result is always what you wanted. All this was illustrated very elegantly and effectively. Unlike most technology commercials that have a very busy, and annoying feeling with people who are nothing like "you."

I won't buy the "Osama was the evil mastermind" shit
Then you are stupid as fuck.
I will explain nothing to a whaco who thinks the American military could fall.

Either you don't have a PS3 or are lazy. If you just load it up, and wait for it to sign in it does, even though you cant sign in.
That's why my facebook page is a photo of me standing next to him so people can see the stark contrasts! Go Pack Go!

I suppose this is true since Gran Turismo 5 is a driving simulator.
