Wouldn't a one-day abstinence from playing all games be more analogous to a moment of silence than abstaining from only violent games (specifically shooters)? I agree with TriForce, it's easy to infer an admission that violent games are connected to violence from the Ceasefire, even for someone like me who doesn't

I firmly believe the rights preserved by both the First and Second Amendments are inherent and inalienable. Innocents do not bear the responsibility for another man's crime, whether they make guns or games.

I'm glad you pointed out that only criminals carry guns in gun-free zones. Now I don't have to. It's true that nations with strong gun control have less gun crime. However, they also have strong borders (managed with guns). If gun-free zones in the US had armed checkpoints at every entrance, they might also be

Yes. Since 1993, US military bases have been gun-free zones. Hasan was shot and apprehended by a civilian police officer who arrived after he had already killed a dozen unarmed soldiers.

Motivation does not determine the morality of an action. But whatever, you at least know what I mean now.

The reason for desiring independence is separate from the issue of independence itself. Motive does not matter. Slavery was separate from their right to secede. It's like going to buy a turkey so you can poison the neighbor's dog. You still have a right to own the turkey.

There is no such thing as a peaceful overthrow, just a peaceful revolution. I don't know why you can't get that. Mubarak resigned himself, no gun to his head. You can try and spin it however you like, but we know he was sick and we know he was going to lose in the election. The protests led him to resign earlier,

Unfortunately, I don't think the NRA will ever make a push for full deregulation of firearms. The current structure provides monopolistic benefits to various manufacturers. That's why I prefer more principled groups like the Gun Owners of America and Second Amendment Foundation.

Of course, by that logic, Articles 1, 2, and 3 are also just as historically outmoded.

Mubarak had been in poor health for at least a year and was not going contest the 2012 election results (in which he was not the favorite to win). That sounds like retirement to me. And resignation is not considered overthrow, so I don't know where you're coming from there. That's like saying the Watergate scandal

Your initial assumption is correct. I mean that we need the guns to fight our own military. The Egyptian government wasn't overthrown, by the way. Mubarak was already set to retire before the protests began. He didn't use the military to put them down (as Assad is doing in Syria) and the restrictions he did issue,

That's why we need the guns.

It can be, for the right price...

I saw it in HFR IMAX 3D. Thought the format was brilliant. Felt real and immersive the whole time, though I'm not sure if that was from the HFR or the 3D.

I know the policy implications behind IP law. But that has no effect on the validity of my statement. Information cannot be stolen. It cannot even be possessed. That's why intellectual property is a farce. If something can be replicated infinitely, it has no grounding in scarce resources, and isn't property.

Sure it does, but copying information does not remove access to the original information. It actually increases the information's resilience against destruction and your ability to access it in the future.

We need to get over this whole "intellectual property" farce. It's worse than drug prohibition.

Chances are he's a lolicon anyway. Only way he was ever getting 3D love is enkou.

From the recent Acchi Kocchi OVA, where Io was trying on new glasses.

Eroge characters already have a problem with sameface. We don't need them all dressed in generic everyday clothing. Unless it's the schoolgirl uniform they wear 50% of the time anyway.
