a) well, in your belligerent haste, you apparently don't READ very clearly. i deliberately wrote 'when it *seemed*', suggesting, to an observant reader, the inherent and now acknowledged illusory nature of that perception. while government has always 'trampled rights', it's also always been to varying degrees, with a clear and marked acceleration in this country since the end of ww2 (cue eisenhower's MIC warning). b) once things 'calm down' on the global scale? good luck waiting for that.

very true - we dont need rule of law.. especially because... you know... tuhhrrists!!

i remember when it seemed that if theconstitution was flagrantly violated, there would actually be consequences for the perpetrators and such actions would stop.. it must have been a dream

sorry you read it that way. not my intention at all it wasnt addressed 'at' girls in any way, and more importantly, it was meant as a joke addressed to all the current and former dorky teens (myself very much included) who yearned for a girlfriend amidst their social ineptitude. p.s. i question what 'benefit' joining gaming is for anyone really, beyond entertainment value (isnt that the point?). not exactly curing cancer. but it is fun.

in that case, i apologize for chastising (albeit in a tongue in cheek manner) fins in any way. sounds like its (unsurprisingly) about old moneyed men making rules to perpetuate the status quo and their wallets. glad to see people are realizing so many of these old ideas are stale

yearning to emulate sexist/exclusive behavior with no fundamental reason (eg, a valid physiological rationale) other than wanting to 'be recognized' by other sexist/exclusive groups is not something i support.

im old now and happily married.. but if i was still a teenager, i would really appreciate anything that could be done to encourage more girls (preferably hot ones) to pick up gaming.. (so they could come over to my house and play). these regulations are cock-blocking our dorky-teen brethren!!

maybe its that some already ego-threatened gamers can't stomach the idea of being beaten by a GURL? jeez... man up maybe it's a finnish inferiority complex..

FIFY

theyre just taking their cue from the us. every bully needs a lapdog.

its not crazy at all. if your endgame is to instill fear and maintain control, it's perfectly logical.

one of the allures for me (and i think a lot of people intrigued with cosmology) is how we can interpret the findings as a macrocosm for our own personal microcosm of awareness and being.

the fact that seemingly inherent in our physical universe is a doctrine of the futility of outward movement (vis a vis reaching a sense of completion or boundary), to me, points to the individual quest for seeking oneself by focusing internally.

dont forget cats and dogs getting along. they must get along before the utopia arrives.

can you imagine all the touchy-feeling-corpsey groping otherwise? dude...

far too little too late.. the problems/near-impossibilty of cleaning up at Fukushima so mind-bogglingly outstrip whatever theoretical benefit these prototypes suggest as to border on the absurd. never mind the geiger counter.. check out our cool gear! tokyo 2020! huzzah!
