[quote]That's funny. It reminds me of the time that my sister was sent to in-school suspension and I let her borrow my "7 habits of highly effective people" to read. The teacher seemed to think it was hilarious.[/quote] Why is it hilarious? That sounds presumptuous. Maybe she really wanted to improve herself. :) I always did my homework in suspension. Then I would read. Those were good times. They got me out of boring classes.

Reply to On Swearing in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Jesus Christ. You are totally fucking right. I never thought of it that way. God damn. I dunno. I think swear words make great punctuation. They definately play a role in communication. They are not just used for communicating anger. I could say "I sincerely believe that you have sexual relations with your mother" in a very angry way, and that would be worse than saying, "what's up, motha' fucka'?" But then, I guess it also depends on your social group.

Wow. That's life. This is why I was afraid that people could take legal action against me for something posted here and call it libel. According to the moderators, by the way, I have mental issues. That made me smile. It sounds like you should get back into the game and seek sweet revenge on that player! :)

Reply to New copy protection comming for Spore and Mass Effect (EA) in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

Why don't people just talk to a friend who has the game first? And if you buy a bad game, give it a bad review on a popular website. The reason I bought Sins was that I looked over about 50 different customer reviews, and very few of them were bad.

[quote]While Developers will eventually win (with enough time and money)[/quote] They will need more than that. They will need better legal protection. It has to be too dangerous to become a pirate, especially to be a distributor of pirated materials.

[quote]Essentially it says EA will place a required online activation with a phone-home every 10 days. If the game can't reach home within 10 days it will deactivate..[/quote] The problem with this line of thinking is that it only creates a never ending arms race between pirates and developers. Each side will run as fast as possible merely to stay in place.

[quote]That is being proven daily. And not by Hillary, but by the Obama supporters. She cannot say she is better than him (which candidate would not say that since they are running???) without the racists jumping up and down and finding a bogusman.[/quote] A lot of black people would disagree that black people can even be racist. That being said, if Hilary claims to be "better than" Obama because of his race or because of an idea associated with race (intelligence, maybe), then she risk

[quote]Maybe Arafat is really on our side. That might explain how he won a Nobel Peace Prize. How to get a Nobel Peace Price: 1. Murder as many children as possible. 2.

Recently, there has been a surge of activity regarding respecting JU member's privacy.
