Are you kidding me?

How exactly should the girl's parents "have thought about this." when they probably weren't even aware of it? How exactly do you infer that the girl's actions are a direct result of the parent's lack of trying to teach their child morals, values, and manners?

You obviously are not a parent. I, however, am one and I can assure you that you teach your children the best you can and in the end they make their own decisions be it good or bad regardless of the upbringing you had for your children.

Up to this incident, this girl's worst punishment was probably being grounded and her computer/TV taken away from her. This isn't like a kid was busted for assault or drugs and may spend some time in juvenile detention and still end up with NO RECORD. This girl posted some text on a social website and now will be punished by ruining her life with a FELONY. This is beyond ridiculous.

I filter all of my bank snail mail into the trash along with my email and never answer the phone to triple ensure I'm never a victim.

If its important, the cops can come out to my house and serve me my eviction notice in person.

The problem isn't just Iran becoming nuclear armed. There are several other countries (Venezuela comes to mind) that are watching Iran push the international community around and may feel they can do the same exact thing and go down the road of nuclear arming.

I don't trust the countries that DO have nukes to not blow up the planet, let alone the countries that harbor terrorists and put out threats of using them to wipe out another race. Iran must be dealt with.

I agree. The last "satellite" launch went off flawlessly... according to North Korea.

Wait wookies are Al-Qaeda?

This is what happens when panic'd decisions are made. The police force thinks they can go in and silence the whole thing with a BS warrant and put an end to it, only for the story to be picked up nation wide and now they're drawing way more attention than ever.

Serves them right. This looks like a clear cut abuse of power by the department and now that the story is national, hopefully some heads will roll.

We will arm our windmills with frikkin' laser beams of course.

Using Warhammer as an example, Warhammer itself generated new interest in the MMO market that spawned NEW players, not just "stolen" players from another game [WoW].

People need to stop thinking that the amount of MMO players is already an established limit. The pool of potential MMO gamers is continually growing and new games like this will flourish from the fresh blood of new games. Not to mention, it may jump start interest in CoH by their old players much like Warhammer did for WoW.

Seriously, what would YOU consider a smarter move.. creating a new MMO in another genre of the MMO market that they have to compete against and know nothing about? Or stick with the superhero MMO genre of which they already control and try out new ideas that simply don't fit in their current game, but would make a great new one?

that's no MOON, it's a friggin' space station..err.. floating recon balloon thing. whew

The correct answer is hair pie.

I've seen his mom, I would not be watching the demo. Your logic is flawed.

If you bothered to RTFA. Quote "6.How are you dealing with inappropriate content? a.We've worked very closely with our customer service department to develop systems for this. In the end, we implemented a number of different systems. We have language filters that check for bad words and won't let you publish them until you remove them. We're also allowing players to flag content for inappropriateness. We also track all users and flags for any potential vote griefing."

That's assuming the kid wasn't bored to tear with the class because they already understood the lesson. That's also assuming the kid is texting another student that is in class. What if they were texting a friend who was in study hall? This is the 21st century way of passing notes in class that is simply not disruptive.

Have you ever seen someone texting where it was so disruptive that it got your attention to the point where it irritated you? I mean come on. Texting is about as disruptive an act as this kid reading a romance novel during class. The disruptive part of the scenario is the TEACHER making such a big fucking deal about nothing. If the kid was back there holding a texas hold'em game with 4 of their friends, then okay.. its a big disruptive deal. But its not even remotely close to that.

IT'S A TRAP!
