Certainly they happen and so far since it hasn't affected us we haven't cared. But if atrocities are being committed overseas and covered up then we as a people have a right to know, which we wouldn't if the government was the one that released the report. More over these committees have proven themselves useless when it comes to finding and prosecuting these people. I'm pretty sure that every body that oversees anything is up to scrutiny, specially since they have failed so much in the past.

What a crappy job

Look it's the bot! lets find out how many other forums got this post.

I understand the concern for security with a leak on information. But if this information were to go through the official channels or if we were to request it, they would only give us the PG version of events. All in the name of keeping the war effort alive.

ME1's DLC was referenced on ME2. They will probably will do the same in 3.

That's mean! What did your internal organs ever do to you? Nothing, he's just British.

I think I've seen you around the games. You gave me lag

Whatever. If this law passes i'm forming a store that only sells violent games. Anyone want to be business partners?

You said it yourself, they are elected by us and as such the respond to us. For democracy to be effective there is a need for the public to have all available information to make an informed decision. Now we are not ignorant of what is happening over there.

You did the whole proxies thing?

Anyone here (N.America only of course) playing Vindictus?

Why? Last thing we need is to get involved in a war with China over Taiwan

Get up, come on get down with the sickness Ah, now that brings me back

The Doors-Roadhouse Blues

They didn't cracked with Imoen either. But it still happened!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by distributors. It would be the retailer who's responsible for not selling the prohibited games to minors, there would be no other restrictions on distribution of games. As far as the law being too vague, that could be the main reason the law is overturned. Basically every retailer would have to play every game and come up with a list of games that are unsuitable for minors. Of course, they could just take the shortcut of not selling any M-rated games to minors, but I don't think that holds water legally. It's the retailer the one that also, gets penalized if they carry games forbidden by the bill and decides which games to sell. This in turn makes the publisher push for a certain kind of games; as usual the ones that sell the most. It basically turns the dreaded AO rating into an abstract concept that can be used to remove every "bad" game from distribution since the retailer can't be sure of what is what. Hopefully it won't hold, but I would take Nepenthe's word over mine in that subject.

Maybe one day your generation will work out a way to fight a completely clean war, bereft of any human error or folly. I know war is messy. But how messy is an open question which you have so deftly swept aside. Read what went on - there were clear orders from pretty high up the American chain of command to ignore the tortures and abuses committed by them and their allies - the Afghan police and army. This is was a war which did not require some airy-fairy advanced civilisation to execute ethically. If the Americans had of seriously investigated abuses and prevented their Afghan counterparts from performing such abuses we wouldn't be having this discussion. So why did they permit and often encourage such atrocities? Because is war and because it works.

Feel better now?

Yeah, but I rented it at Blockbuster, and it's due back tomorrow. Then can you guess what to do? Buy the game if you like it or don't. But please don't assume that we care about corrupted files as if they were a tragedy.

What do you want; a refund? Get back to playing.

I see your Calibanian wit continues to be razor sharp

Ok we can continue. no more logic

and night actions?

Formal fallacy, affirming the consequent That wasn't a fallacy, he wasn't implying that the latter logically followed from the former. It was just a statement. It was a fallacy because it assumes that DA1=DA2 which is not true. No, he used the term likely. Likely still assumes similitude which DA2 has none to DA1 and that is the reason which has alienated most of us away from it. There was no logical fallacy in his post. It may have been incorrect (really, none of us are in the position to judge at the moment), but there was no fallacy. If P, then Q P, therefore Q That's a fallacy because his statement is not true.
