To be fair, curing people just gives them a chance to get sick again. Whereas dead stays dead (and even if they don't, a proper public policy for zombie outbreaks still involves liberal applications of firepower).

You mean you don't set up file transfers and race to see who finishes first. (Mine only has -243.7 years to go! Bill's transfer is the favorite at the minute though since it's units are expressed in minutes.)

Wait, Nintendo's entering the car market?

I'm not sure how you can criticize the free market with a situation that involves government granted monopolies(copyrights) and a cartel. You could maybe make the point that unfettered capitalism leads to cartels and monopolies, but then we are no longer dealing with free markets, so that's actually a criticism of capitalism.

Unless of course your use of quotes around "free market" is alluding to the fact that whenever someone uses the word in modern political discourse, they're usually actually arguing for corporatism, and that everyone should be weary of a politician spouting "free market" ideologies. In that case I support your argument.

I think we need a moratorium on the term until people read up on the qualities that define a free market, and realize that it is merely a tool that can promote efficiency in many situations.

Why are you relying on your kids to pay for your old age? Are you incapable of planning ahead in case you don't die early, and saving up some money for that possibility? I think investing all the money you would have spent raising kids would already provide a pretty decent retirement fund.

I think violence has gone down only because these masses of violent gamers are too busy trying to finish today's 800(sic) hour long video games. In fact, the legislatures do not realize that the only hope they have at this point is to KEEP UP THE SUPPLY OF VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. If there aren't enough games to play, these violent youth will soon start to wander outside. Before we know it, there will be hordes of mindless acne-scarred teens roaming the streets in bloodthristy packs and employing their deadly killing skills learned in countless hours of murder simulators. Please, if you value your safety, California, don't try to stop these kids from getting these games.

This senator is right! We need to act now and form some kind of a group, or maybe a board. This group will play video games to discover their content, and then it can suggest an appropriate age for the content. Maybe this board can even go further and provide handy key words for the sort of themes that are to be expected in the content.

Someone has to go on this plan! Parents these don't have time to level all 12 Omega Materia to lvl 255 only to discover that the 115% completion ending is really a gay orgy/snuff film.

I believe this legislation is also pointless, because all the retailers I know already self-regulate game ratings the same way movie theaters self-regulate as you pointed out.

This is why these laws are bad. The legislature is unfairly burdening one form of media in contrast to all others.

Not to mention first amendment rights and the fact that nanny-statery is complete bullshit and needs to be fought at every turn.

Anonymous sperm donation is pretty much the only way to get out of child support. In every other case the court has ruled "in favor of the child" which means the man has to pay child support even if he was raped. In contrast to much of society, reproductive rights are an area where the women have the men by the balls.

Now I am even more redundant...

(Please mod +5 redundant)

Mentioning "fresh sperm" just gave me the idea to tattoo "100% Local, 100% Organic" on my balls. Yuppy chicks will go crazy for it. After all, everyone knows that getting your sperm locally and organically is a lot healthier than the mass-produced crap being pumped out of laboratories.

Actually... I went looking for one time use numbers recently, and about the only way to still get them is through PayPal (I think Citibank might still also offer the service). And while PayPal offers the option to lock it to one site, it forces you to tie it to a payment source like your bank account, and doesn't allow you to set charge limits.

English failing? The fee is one-time since it is non-recurring. And it's not (unlimited) (for one month). It's (unlimited for one month)

The reason is because Pandora has to pay royalties per play while RF gets a free pass. They've spent the last two years fighting this in congress, and this fee is the fallout from the most recent royalty settlement which still leaves them with the highest royalties of all radio formats.
