Wouldn't matter. I'm not giving someone else my phone so they can change the channel.

You would think that, but you would be wrong.

Actually, the "piles of medical evidince" have lead the American Association of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association not to recommend routine circumcision of newborns. Given the number and density of nerve endings in the foreskin, comparison to clitoridectomy is not so far-fetched. Just because the one is socially accepted where you live doesn't make it any less barbaric than the other.

I hadn't thought about property taxes. I stand corrected.

"School taxes"? Where do you pay "school taxes"? Money for schools comes from state (and to a lesser and more indirect extent, federal) income taxes.

Well, first of all, your own formula (50 mo x 15 + 50 x 2) comes out to $850. In the interest of full disclosure, the original game was $50 and the two expansions were $40, so add in another $30, and you get a cost of $880 for playing WoW since release and paying by the month. If the average game is $60 and provides 10-20 hours of gameplay, that's $3-6 per hour. If you've been playing WoW for 50 months at a cost of $880, that's $17.60/month. If you play 5 hours and 52 minutes per month, your price per hour is $3, the low end of the price per hour of the average $60 game. So to answer your question, yeah, it's probably an unreasonable cost if you're playing much less than 6 hours a month, but how many people paying for the game since release actually play that little?

They did go back to the local store.
