My ringtone on my iPhone was the Law & Order theme up until last year. I don’t even watch the show that much, I just love the theme song.

The response I usually hear is something like “Walk!” or “Get a bike!”, because there’s nothing better than turning your 30 minute car commute into a 2 hour bike ride each way.

Yup. And the required costs of our current society keep going up. Try holding down a job in this country without a cell phone or internet, just doesn’t work.

And if those people didn’t buy cars because of it our country would cave in on itself...

This is also true of home repairs and emergency healthcare costs. In fact, healthcare debt in the US is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy because our healthcare system is a ludicrously expensive joke.

BREAKING: The average person doesn’t make enough money to cover all the expenses required to be a part of modern society.

If those 64 million drivers didn’t have cars our economy would probably collapse. People are dependent on cars in this nation, and have to get one whether they can afford it or not.

To be fair, based on the bumper stickers I’ve seen on them, being seen as a gas guzzler and metaphorical middle finger to the environment was also a big selling point.

To take that advice even further: Life can be better without social media altogether. Worked for me. You’d be surprised the ways that social media can skew your view of people and the world in general.

I always hoped that companies would use their April Fool’s joke products to gauge interest in products that would otherwise be considered outlandish. Not unlike when you talk to someone and ask them if they want to fuck and when they say no you try to pretend it’s a joke. Except companies get away with saying it’s a…

I get what you’re saying, and you kind of concede the point in your second sentence, but all speedo’s require you to take your eyes off the road and refocus. Even with a HUD your eyes would have to refocus to the shorter distance considering you should be focusing on a point on the road at least 100 feet in front of…

I fully agree with you on your point that he does need to reach that moment of realizing his issues and taking responsibility for them. Everyone with issues like his needs to at some point, and I hope he does soon. And I can speak from experience on that as I’m also a type II bipolar. I just wanted to point out that…

I definitely agree with your point about companies having far more influence over public discourse today than ever before. When the founding fathers wrote the Bill of Rights, they were only concerned with government controlling speech because governments had been the only institutions with enough influence to do so.…

Thanks for sharing that link. I’m reading it now, it’s very interesting, and I see where Justice Kennedy shared your view of the “public space”. I’ll update this in a sec.

So if Charles Manson did voice acting on the game, you’d be cool with it? After all, you have to separate the work from the individual’s views and actions.

So should the government tell them that they can’t set the terms of their own privately-run service?

But that’s the reality of free speech in a free market economy. Capitalism dictates that businesses will cut negative associations when there is reason to believe that keeping them on the project will cause more harm than cutting them.

In regards to the “some of us” who won’t buy the game because of this, in the wise words of Dwight Eisenhower: “Their number is negligible, and they are stupid.”

As someone who went to a college with a very strong Young Republican presence, I can confirm, being conservative in your college years will advance physical aging by 10-20 years.

I mean, considering most sushi restaurants will lie about using real tuna, and instead use the diarrhea-inducing escolar instead, I’m not that surprised.
