ah well, if we go that way, i can prove that ANYTHING can be proven wrong/right with the approach you have taken.
with other non-computer-gaming recreational activities
yea, apparently the parents are going to be the ones to decide what the "non-computer-gaming recreational activities" are, arent they ? and curiously you have proposed that they are more "healthy", which is something that has no certain verifiable measure.
cutting kids' games at the end of predetermined durations is just like preventing a young married couple from reaching the climax during sex - and saying that "preassigned duration is over, youll continue tomorrow".
someone after the 'hot jupiters' article in in slashdot had had said that his/her favorite exclamation was going to be "HOT JUPITERS !!!!" . i wonder what s/he is doing now.
Suppressing people from stealing will make more people steal? Suppressing people from murdering will result in more murderers? Sorry I don't see the logic in that.
excuse me, we are talking about GAMES, PLAYING, living their CHILDHOOD, in the context. where did stealing and murdering come from ?
It's the culture. Many Chinese parents were born in the 50s-60s. They've experienced the Cultural Revolution and many of them have never had proper education, so now they want their kids to have proper education and to have a better future.
same were the parents in turkey. furthermore, on top of their japanese counterparts, the concept of "family", "love", "mercy", "selfless parent" were much more in abundance in them.
so they tried to make their kids what would be the best for them. result is this, and this is done with love.
intentions in that subject do not change the results considerably. whatever the intention, supressed/postponed stuff strikes back.
instead they should go to school (right from kindergarten at age 5), go through elementary, middle, high, college, grad, work their arse off for 18 years in order to be able to work their arse off MORE while working in their later life.
so, instead of "drugs" you want them to be FORCED to modern day slavery.
if you BAR kids from doing something they REALLY like and WANT to do in their development stages, and instead FORCE them to do whatever society/you think right and should be done, what you do is going to come back to you as payback when kids reach adulthood and start to exhibit personality/psychological deviations.
ANYTHING that is suppressed gets bigger and strikes back at a later date.
this same trend was here in turkey aroun 15-20 years ago, all kids were put to the "career race", which was something that was seen as both good for the kids, and for the society. (hey, you make the kid race for ranking at the top in the national university entrance exams, which guarantees them a good education and then later a respectable, high salary job, what can be wrong with that)
and 15 years later now, majority of those generations are experiencing personality quirks, antisocial behaviour, a degree of childish selfishness, (which leads to MANY marriages to breaking up), strike-back from stress that is accrued in 15 years of organizational education/racing, aimlessness in life and valueing/judging everything on merits of career/power/monetary values and not able to appreciate real values like love, compassion, friendship, family and so on. hell, there are so many stuff that i dont know if i can stop once i start.
you, chinese are total morons for approving that, or forcing your kids to forfeit their present for their future, a future which never comes and constant sacrifice continues while trying to reach it.
time spent NEVER comes back. NEVER EVER. at deathbed what people think are what they HAVE done, not what they MEANT to do.
And this is no rant. For thousands of years you have let yourselves be molded to shape by a central government, be it the first emperor be it the communist party. only difference of chi and communist party is that there was a single emperor back then, now there are 5-100 emperors on the top deciding what you should do.
For that to happen, we first need a wisecrack who has enough time and energy in his/her hands to set up a nice site about him for the keyword ad to land on when clicked.
earlier sun was on a 11 year cycle. did we ditch that ? suddenly a thousand year peak shit came up. next thing you know after 3-4 years they will come up and say that 1.000.000 year peak is coming. i just dont buy it.
Yet you are going to send him to work his ass off in order to get a place in the modern wold of a dog eat dog working life. When he is going to learn ? On college grad day ?
we are not talking about "intelligence". self cognition, cognition of others and the immediate entities as a social environment counts as sentiency. in the respect you are thinking computers are "intelligent" too.
web hosting industry-wise, windows servers are only offered as "flavor". linux dominates the market SO bad, but yet more and more companies enter linux hosting business, and curiously, they find customers.
I do other things than trolling with the EXACT same link. However, i do trolling with the EXACT same link, because it is RIGHT and NECESSARY to do as such.
cut out with the fucking old "people do icky things" shit already.
rape, murder, cruelty to animals are FORBIDDEN and PUNISHABLE by laws in MANY civilized countries. last time i checked, japan was putting itself in a 1st world, civil nation's shoes.
this SHIT is not something that some criminals or vagabonds are doing in back alleys. this motherfucking CRAP is something that japanese shitheads are ALLOWING some locales to do, under the fucking shitty pretext of "ethnic culture". at this point, i think, fuck their ethnicity. honest reason my butt.
Lets allow numerous tribes in africa, amazon region to continue on with their CANNIBALISM TRADITION too. For one, they have been practicing that for thousands of years, for two, this is THEIR ETHNICITY. so it is fucking plain HONEST and VALID reason for doing stuff isnt it ?
for the former part of your post, in a situation as you describe, you cant yourself label anyone else's proposals as invalid or biased, as the area is not yet explored and still in controversy.
As for the decision that which level of cognitive ability qualifies as intelligent or semi-intelligent, this, we are going to decide.
And for the latter part of your post, whenever an exact measurement scale is constructed, still dolphins will come out on top along with some primates. Still whatever level is accepted as the baseline, they will be above that line.
we are not talking about history. and we are not talking about illegally doing it either. also, we are not talking about "animals". we are talking about year 2007, and a country which is supposed to be civil.
dolphins are comparable to humans in cognitive terms, along with a number of chimpanzee types and gorillas. we are talking about semi-sentient/sentient murder.
you should get a class on cognitive science in a college nearby. then we would be able to talk on points you are labeling as "baseless" without having any idea about.
ironic, since you have so flamboyantly titled your response "mod idiot down".

let THEM choose their present.
it makes their PRESENT brighter.
a future in a high position high salary career job together with constant prozac or shrink visits is not some "bright" future, dont forget.
instead they should go to school (right from kindergarten at age 5), go through elementary, middle, high, college, grad, work their arse off for 18 years in order to be able to work their arse off MORE while working in their later life.
so, instead of "drugs" you want them to be FORCED to modern day slavery.
and wake up now -
if you BAR kids from doing something they REALLY like and WANT to do in their development stages, and instead FORCE them to do whatever society/you think right and should be done, what you do is going to come back to you as payback when kids reach adulthood and start to exhibit personality/psychological deviations.

Just disable anonymous, non-registered commenting while setting up your blog and thats that.
totally agree

memes need to be natural and catchy. this one is so unnatural that it is so unnatural.
web hosting industry-wise, windows servers are only offered as "flavor". linux dominates the market SO bad, but yet more and more companies enter linux hosting business, and curiously, they find customers.
now down to less than a fraction of 97 percent of all servers
is this a joke or have you stated that microsoft owns 97 percent of server market ?

you are seeing something "under $1000" as buyable by lower-middle income levels ?
a single low-resolution "insulting" jpg can do it even in current state without that law.
come on. LOWER middle classes. not suburban families. people who live in condos. you are talking about middle classes, and even upper ones.

megaupload is not down. keep trying and you will see.
last month 326 adult/sex material containing sites were filtered. do a search of "internette sansur" on google.
