Uhm, ouch.

Believe me, I'm not a fan of this bill. But how does an extra label or sticker infringe on any right of the American people? Is it stupid? Sure. Does it actually have a tangible impact on our rights? Not that I'm aware of.

By itself, nope. When you start adding everything up and we become one gigantic Nanny State... Yeah. See the poor little girl forced to eat chicken nuggets because some dipshit bureaucrat got a burr up their butt about a homemade turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, chips, and an apple juice. You give Government an inch and they will take the yard.

Which is why it boggles my mind every time Mors mentions moving to England, the King, Queen of the Nanny State.

Also home to tons of Big Brothery-cameras.

Still though ... stupid? Yes. Right infringing ... probably not. In some cases, over-protectiveness can infringe upon rights. Usually it won't though.

They're not so obtuse about it. That and their political parties aren't Fucked and Equally Fucked.

The top 3 parties in the UK House of Commons should look awfully familiar to you.

Oh and of course...

Forget England, Canada will only piss you off in the long run, I would suggest moving to a deserted island with a volleyball and make it the president of the island.

You're crazy if you don't think America's politics aren't the worst thing you've ever seen. We literally have a political party that votes against EVERYTHING that the other political party proposes, even if they originally agreed with the thing they're voting against.

If that's not just total bullshit that makes you want to leave the country, I don't know what is.

[morsdraconis]

This pretty much sums it up PERFECTLY.

It's one thing to get angry at a game. It's another to get so angry that you take that anger and do something stupid with it (aka, kill someone, hurt someone, etc).

Yeah but anger is agression and I think they said the study shows it leads to agression which is technically true. Anything can cause agression tho...stress, beer, and lack of sex.

Just move to Cuba or North Korea Mors...I hear they are pretty nice places.

Rwanda
China
Yemen
Sudan
North Korea
Iran
Burma
Somaila
Sudan
Laos
D.R. Congo
Chad


I could go on and on but I bet you after a week of seeing the politics of these countries, you might have to retract that.

I meant countries where there is actually freedom. Of course all of those places are worse, their 2nd and 3rd world countries being run by dictators.

Okay first world countries.

Greece
Spain


I am sure more would come to mind but that should suffice for now.

"Democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

I will agree that our political parties are totally fucked, but there's a difference between preferring the multi-party system that England and others have, and assuming that going elsewhere will allow you to escape really stupid proposals.

I am guessing someone is subtly trying to shift the conversation in this thread back to video games.

Buying all 4 the day they're released. I am so psyched for Trials Evolution and Blood Forge it's not even funny. I fell in love with Blood Forge the second I saw it. I've never tried Minecraft, so I'll give it a try(although I cringe at that 1600MSP price point), and I'll buy pretty much anything Fable related.

This promotion is way better than the last one. Alan Wake was the only decent one out of the 4.
