I can see you point, and I also get pretty peeved when I get mocked by 14 yr olds that haven't hit puberty yet. However, I have found that just turning off all team chat makes a bit more enjoyable. When I first started playing COD:World at War (after being pretty bad ass back in the day at half-life Death match) and had my ass handed to me over and over at first just about made me want to rage quit. However, i toughed it out and figured out how to stay alive a little longer. Also, in the beginning (after being mocked a few times) i turned off all voice chat. Sure I couldn't talk to any what, but I didn't really fucking care. I couldn't hear them be jerks, so it didn't really bother me. So, step up turn off voice chat, I don't know about you, but I could fucking care less to "socialize" with 14 hr olds still living at home. Also, if you do a bit of looking sometimes you can find servers that will flat out ban people of shit talking and being a jerk. For COD: World at war, there use to be a guild out there MOF or house of something, can't relay remember, but they wouldn't stand for any of the shit talking that 14 yrs try to do and would flat out ban them after one warning. True, these types of servers are still few and far between , and I'm not sure if they ever existing on the console, but do a bit of poking around and you should be able to find one.
Basically, my two cents, turn off voice chat and simple ignore the young fucks who want to be dick heads. I mean, after working all day, do you really fucking care about being able to talk with someone else?
IMO, voice chat is what makes MP games irritating
I don't give damn if it's insensitive to Muslims. The last time I checked, no body gives a damn about being insensitive to anyone much less offending any other religious group besides Muslims, why should they get special treatment because they act like childern and uncivilized heathens when they get "offended?"
If you don't like something printed or said: turn the channel, visit another site, stop buying that particular paper, but don't try to hinder OUR right to free speech!
And if this "offends" you, stop reading slashdot and log-off the internet immediately. Life is about being offended, so if you can't get used that that notion you just need to seal off the rest of the world and never emerge from your "safe bubble." If none one is being offended, then we are all just sheep in the cosmic continuum.
In my experience , whenever starting a project such as this its always better to work from the bottom up. Meaning, not only talk to the associates about how important documentation is, which they can easily see the benefits, work with them to find out how it would be easiest for them. Most project that require end user participation fail because of no one asking the people that will use the software / process how it could be fit into their daily lives. That being said:
Identify a group of works that are able to participate in a few "user feedback sessions" on an ongoing basis. Make sure this group encompass all aspects of the business. White board during the first session to see what they want. In subsequent secessions try to setup a couple possible solution and allow the users to band away at in for a few hours. This will allow you to quickly find out what solutions are plausible, and which ones just won't work.
Just my two cents.
So,not only am I going to be pissed at the stupid fucks in my way because they are making me late, but their going to be costing me money too!!! Road rage will go through the ROOF!
When a cop says "turn around" or "lay down on the ground" and you don't and get tasered you can't bitch. Your a dumb fuck and deserved to have gotten tasered. I have been pulled over and stopped by police offers a number of occasions, I never argued with the cops and always did what they said to do. Guess what, I never got tasered. Don't argue with the cops, argue with the judge.
P.S. I'll admit the 80 year old women in a wheelchair incident is a bit fucking ridiculous, and the cops involved should have corrected action against them.
Have you even taken the time to look at the current ESRB Rating (I have enclosed it below for you just in case)? Your are correct, little 16 year old Johnny is not MATURE enough to play this game, since the age limit for mature is 17! Little Johnny can't go see a rated R movie, so hey also can not buy a rated M video game.
Please do some research before hitting reply, it will keep you from looking like the idiot that you are.
In Closing, Parents need to suck it up and be responsible for what their child are doing (Kudos to the very well informed parent above, I do agree with you 100%). And Senators need to focus on getting the country back on track not playing parent, which is not what they were elected to do.

Its not that the smarter you are, the less SEX you "choose" not to have. It more along the lines that at the age, being smart just isn't attractive to the opposite sex. While the less brilliant teenagers (Jocks.... usually) are more attractive to the opposite sex and hence, have more sex.
Actually there is no pentaly for not performing "due diligence." If they file a for a patent and recieve it for something that is already "patented" then they are guility of patent infringment (Not a hudge problem-happens allot). However, if they perform "due diligence," find an existing patent and patent it anyway, then they can be charged with "Willful patent infringment" (Much worse). Because of this most corporations tell their associates to never research prior patents and just to patent new findings.
The government already monitors the sale of everyone gun purchase. I recently purchased a firearm from a local gun show and had to show ID, proof of residency and submit to a back ground check before the gun could be registered to me. It's not exactly the wild wild west where you can by any gun you want from any where. All guns sales have to be sold via a licensed FFA holder (Few exceptions may apply).
Not to stray to far off topic, but, after seeing the results of "Gun Control" in other countries such as Canada, UK and Australia (incase you missed the aftermath, since enactment of stricter gun control legislation in the UK violent crime has risen 69%). I am curious how you are still under the impression that "Gun Control" will make it harder for people who intend to do ill will harder to get them. Nobody goes into Dick's Sporting Goods / Walmart Etc, purchases a gun and then goes and commits a crime with it. Gun Control only takes away guns from law bidding citizens. I'm opposed to gun control, however, I am not opposed to stiffer penalties. More states should adopt laws such as Florida's "10-20-Life."
10 Years = Pointed a gun at a human being during the course of a Crime.
20 Years = Fired a gun during the course of a crime.
Life = Fired a gun and injured / killed a human during the course of a crime.
Not trying to start a rant, just an intelligent debate about a very hot political topic.
You've already stated that everyone should be held responsible for their own actions, because their own actions, however, my question is : In a world where civil liberties are every decreasing why try to limit or chose to support politicians who would limit them instead of supporting and demanding legislation that would punish those who abuse them?

Hitler said the same thing in 1942. We all know how that story ended.
