There should be a www.jackthompsonmods.com, dedicated to making Jack Thompson mods for every game...
which will last until JT finds out and has the site sued.
I have the perfect solution for this: Celebrity Sound Boards. If they call, let them speak to the soothing tone of George Takei. Or even Jack Black.
or, in worst cases, you can put them on call waiting, then call up customer support, then bridging the two together, then dropping out of the call. That way, it's an endless loop... they're be talking to their own inbound call center, and I'll be asleep. XD
The Nielson is a TOOL used to by companies to show where the focus of the audiences is at.
However, being that it samples so little and should be considered inaccurate, the Nielson can be compared to a protractor's flat edge -- the part that has the ruler on it. What I'm proposing is to use a collection of measuring tapes that are a mile long each. The objective is to measure the precise length of a mile. Sure, you can use the protractor's ruler edge to do an estimate, but its pretty damned inaccurate and pointless.
The point is missed on you, then.
Religion is a behavioral guideline that should be taught... at home. Teaching religion to a captive audience (and yes, pre-college IS a captive audience) serves nothing except to detract from other educational venues. Before college, kids need to know the fundamentals: math, reading, sciences, history, music, physical exercise. Religion need not be taught because no one can teach religion with the proper cultural context that is suitable for each student. You are imposing your religions (and to an extent behavioural) views on a child whose parents may or maynot accept it.
In college, students can elect to take courses on religion, to better understand other cultures around the world. Unfortunately, even those classes are inadequate because it's taught by a single professor who has one particular religious view, and they teach from a textbook written with a generalized view of religion. In order to properly teach about religion, one must allow students to experience religion.
Mixing pray-time, even in an opt-in environment, brings peer pressure into the environment. Maybe you haven't had to grow up as a non-christian. I have. And let me say taht your arrogant view is typical of everyone who looks and goes "Well, This is how I do it so everyone should be like me in their feelings." When I was at camp and everyone was taking turns saying grace (which is OPT-IN as well), IT FEELS QUITE AWKWARD. IT FEELS EVEN WORSE WHEN EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT STUFF AND YOU SEEM LIKE YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO DOESN'T GET IT.
There are better things to be learning and doing in school -- things more pertenant to advancing human culture. That is what school is for. When learning about family values and religion, that is what HOME time is for.
Religion has no similarities with sports.
Sports ARE opt-in. People have plenty of other choices at Recess.
Religion in schools is not warrented. No one school would honor all religions. They would go with the religious majority. It wouldn't be opt-in. What about the atheists? What if a Muslim had to pray 5 times a day... would they be excused to leave from a lesson to pray? Most likely not.
Finally, religion causes people to be blind for some reason. They lose sight of the fact that religions provide a moral guideline, rather than an accurate account of historical fact. You get intelligent Design asshats who sit there and denounce science (what HAS a place in schools).
I can't believe someone would try and package a "we're too soft on kids" argument with "We need religion" agenda. You're a tool for trying. GTFO the internet.
Using your inaccurate polling of a small percentage of the population.
WORK WITH THE ENGINEERS WHO BUILD CABLE BOXES. Surely they can report back to HQ on what their viewers are watching. It'll be 1000% more accurate than the Nielson box.
Yeah, more than one good TV Show was cancelled by this group. Pretty soon, every game released will be "SIMS 90234343: The Sims get Aids in survivor Island".
This only occurs if the overall education level isn't dropping. Unfortunately, if we start making things sissy just to make sure that Timmy doesn't feel like he needs to cut himself because Susie beat him in the National Fitness score, it may eventually transition to other parts. We'll get soft on the kids. We'll be nicer to make education "easier" and more "for the kids" than "for the kids' future".
The real problem is that "mom" and "dad" aren't doing their fracking job and "teaching the kids" and "spending time with the kids". Instead, "mom" and "dad" are too busy with the TV, WoW, a sports bar, work, etc.
Your kid isn't a sissy because of society. It's because you aren't teaching your kid to stand up for themselves.
Each PS3 will be equiped with Borg nanoprobes which will assimilate anyone who playes it. This way, all Sony has to do is produce 20. From there, the number of assimilated chumps will grow exponentially.
Resistance is futile. Your inefficient marketting strategies are irelevant. We will add your technical and biological distinctiveness to our own.
I think the key thing to this whole article is that this time it's Jay-Z that's whining. Honestly, I think Jay-Z sings one step shy of "City Pound during Cat Mating Season", but that's just me. Jay-Z with the Punjabi boys was the most horrific waste of time ever made. Why hasn't anyone executed Jay-Z for being an enemy of the state?
Anyway, Hooray for RIAA/Whiny-talentless-hacks's software teams for finding a way to further thin out the minefield of retarded p2p users.
Well here's the thing though... in the states, the fastest residential broadband we offer is 7Mbps,,, in the Netherlands and Asia, it's easily 15 times as much.
We still have DIALUP in America.
How backwards is that?
But I digress. If Iran really wants their country to be free from western influence, they'll need to create a biosphere around their country that regularily emits high-level EMPs to wipe out any technology they might be developing.;D
The age of religious-controlled nations dominating information is coming to a close.
Is it just me, or does the title seem.. misleading? Powered by DNA? It's not really feeding on people's genomes in order to meet its energy requirements.:[

This is a violation of the Starfleet Temporal Prime Directive. You aren't supposed to be talking about future artifacts.

They can never stop the signal. Even if the signal is going at 128kbps
Woo, that makes you a bonefide hero, don't it?
By the way, your it'll be hard for your girlfriend to break up with you considering that she's 1) a Night elf, and 2) tied to your wow account.
Thank you, sissy parents of America, for creating the next generation of wussy kids and further enhancing the downfall of human society.

No. Vibration. In. My. Controller.
