Huh? Why do homosexual want to get married? So they can adopt children? Since everyone can get married, we just do away with marriage laws and set up a child rearing law. What's wrong with you guys? Stop mixing up the problems and come up with proper solutions!

My point is that I do not want my children to think that it is okay to smoke pot regardless of age.
I do not wish for anyone to go to jail of be fined because of smoking pot.

Blizzard Rolls Out Real ID Privacy Options 145
tacarat writes "The last time Blizzard mentioned their new Real ID system, there was a strong backlash from users over privacy issues.

Quoting: 'These options provide Real ID users with additional tools for customizing the service based on their preferences, enabling the ability to opt in or out of the Real ID "Friends of Friends" and "Add Facebook Friends" features or to turn off Real ID altogether.'"
