A cgi bonanza with an annoying shakeycam and no acting. Truly original, and exactly what Hollywood needs to renew itself!

It's actually http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Friends_Forever and it's an angel describing the battle, not the kids.
It's also worth noting that virtually the only reason organized crime exists is because of the drug prohibition..the government is basically subsidizing the various mafias and drug cartels.
Their children have the same genetic gifts as anyone else
Because stupid people don't pass on their genes?
What libertarians are against is forced collectivism..no libertarian wants to make it illegal to give to charity, however, most are against forced wealth redistribution.
I could value something at $1000, but if it only really benefits me $500.
There is no such thing. Benefits are not directly quantifiable in such a way that you think it gives you $1000 but it actually gives you $500..if you value something at $1000, its value and benefit to you is $1000; there is no "objective" value to anything.
This is actually the exact opposite of socialism. Microsoft has an essentially monopolistic position in the market (partly because of network externalities) and exploits it, creating a shitload of negative externalities. All these regulators want to do is correct those externalities, returning the market close to its "efficient" state. This is free market capitalism at work, baby! Of course the way in which they are doing it is ridiculous, but this is the EU after all..it's a miracle they managed to to SOMETHING.

The rifle is about 3 meters long and it looks real to you? What the hell, man.
Going the imaginationland, of course!
There are ways around that, though. You can still show a reaction to input locally, even if the other players have not received that input yet. With OnLive-like services, everything is on another machine so you can't do any tricks to "hide" the latency.
I'm sorry but I'm having a very hard time comprehending your post. Did you actually call Kubric's 2001 one of the worst movies you have ever seen?
DOES NOT COMPUTE
How about the Geneva conventions?
That's an insane view. Slavery allowed the elite to devote themselves to intellectual concerns. If Plato had to spend half his day in the fields, would he have written what he did? Of course not.
The RCC most definitely did not help improve literacy. Contrast Moorish Spain which had virtually universal literacy with the rest of Europe at the time, and their stance toward learning becomes obvious.
