  1. One of the causes of the high dropout rate, but as an institution education works. Problem is the lack of freedom given to teachers to actually instill values on students, so as usual the ones that learn are the ones actually interested. Those who don't care for it and still pursue a career just because is the logical next step, well I saw them once or twice before they finally stopped coming to school altogether. Although I been for a half a year in an arts schools that it's very career oriented, they make you push yourself by constantly reminding you what the job is. So no its irrelevant to them if you push yourself or not since A) you are paying a lot of money to be there B) if you don't make it through school you probably won't make it on the job. But we in America have that "pursuit of happiness" thing and don't need to use human rights to make a case. You guys should have listened to Locke.
  2. But with a fear of being blacklisted by every publisher I don't see anyone within the industry standing up for an union, mostly people who get fed up and leave.
  3. So you want to argue ethics? That human rights are a human construct and otherwise useless in a state of nature. Maybe you can put up with this little white lie in the pursue of a greater good.
  4. So, another tale of horror from the video game industry. The games industry really needs to group the **** UP!!! ARGH! It's the plane pilot slave system, pilots are severely underpaid and overworked but they don't complain because they love flying airplanes and lack the means to do so. The same way that a lot of people in the game industry (if not all) love games and lack the financial means to do so on their own. I mostly think that it hurts production, as it was the case here.
  5. I see your point and I would like to offer the story of my second mother as a counterpoint. She was on her late 40's when she came to the US 8 years ago, the first job she could find was cleaning houses. I mention her age because I want to paint the picture that this was a 50 years old woman cleaning houses in order to manage a living and still send financial support back to us. The sequence of jobs she held were of almost the same quality, from being a stay home servant to a family in Tennessee (which as I am told wasn't enjoyable) working in a gas station and the sorts. Which brings us to the point were after we secured through some contacts on the education sector in Cuba false documents showing that she had been a teacher, is that she was able to pursue a decent career as a teacher. This is relevant because in order to do so she had to complete classes; since her major had been in science, classes which she took in college which she wouldn't had been able to do if the tuition cost were incredibly high or without government programs to help students. She now teaches middle school. Now I have a shot at an even better life because of her efforts. Hard work can only take you so far before the world buries you, a break at some point is necessary.

  7. But you can't _give a poor kid a break_ in his life, is that what you mean? Climbing through social strata is hard enough when you aren't born into it, when you have the whole world against you its next to impossible. So why is a qualified kid without the economical means less deserving of higher education than a rich prick? I disagree with this fatalistic notion that as a general rule you are poor because you are stupid and lazy and therefore your son should also be the same. The option should be viable for those who want to better themselves.
  8. Actually, I think that the WB old school cartoons were used as an argument against the bill (becuase according to some research being used, watching an old bugs bunny toon was as damaging in general as playing a videja game) Although they have removed certain parts of the cartoons and they don't run any of the old Tex Avery cartoons, they also have taken down any racial references in cartoons. To be honest it has been a while since I checked on this case, did they clear up the legislation or is their definition of violent video games as vague as before?
  9. Couldn't they had found a picture of cute cosplayers protesting, why does it gotta be the two fatties?
  10. Time to get them tattooed, I guess. Backwards so he can read them, or we can implant the memories of said threads and the future ones while he is dreaming.
  11. Ok that makes 3, a few more and we can host the Obsidian mail order bride convention.
  12. With gas prices being what they are, I wouldn't be surprised if those things were a money bleed.
  13. Well it's a glorious summer day with temperatures on the high 90's (farenheit), on day 3 of my 2 week holiday me mum decided; as she does every summer to do some remodeling. I have been cleaning petroleum off the driveway for the last 3 hours; which is a left off from redoing the rooftop. Tomorrow we are painting.
  14. Failpenguin. I'd like to see you swim from Antarctica to New Zealand. That penguin is a god among birds. Maybe he flew?
  15. Nah it's more like I am advocating for a post-1900 neo-colonialism (which I am) I consider it to be a mutual beneficial relationship. We get to control a resource, and they get a ticket into the 21st century, like most colonies have done (Africa excluded) it's the true and tried method.
  16. You should have a sense of foreboding duty, it's up to you to induct this new soul into the ways of the force. make him take the red pill.
  17. I think that I've said something to that aspect before, so I concur. Personally I think that the area has abundant resources (oil) that will make delivering easier, hoping that the private sector won't **** it up. Plus the more open we are about it the more strength we gain in the international arena, since we would be privy to the rights of the oil in the area (now if only we could sabotage Russia's pipeline). In any case if we are going to stay in the area it should be under 2 conditions: we gain something from the endeavor (**** democracy ) and we focus our efforts solely on a single country, setting up an stronghold for our interests in the area.
  18. Yeah I think the reviewer had a bad case of the nostalgia googles and was picking at threads. @Raithe: nice article, the art direction in this game it's sublime and it really shows. Wish people would notice.
  19. I guess that what the reviewer meant to say it's that objects in DX were interactive whereas in HR the interactive objects are often the same ones. The boxes look the same and it's easy to figure out the paths because of it. Edit: but if he wants to build a fort there its always minecraft.
  20. I don't mean to be cross, but what valid points?
  21. Not really. But people on coke tend to act like hyperventilating **** that no one wants around so they would probably be thrown out either way. Ok...how many coked up people have you know, that were for certain under the influence?
