The whole reason schools need to be involved in cyberbullying as that it always, and I mean ALWAYS, spills into the school grounds. Does anyone else here work with 12-14 year old kids? They are emotionally all over the place. Try to think back to when you were that age, it was probably not the easiest time in your life. Just removing kids from the internet is not the answer Arkan. Just like homeschooling, taking your kid away from that entire social structure will only make it harder for them to adjust when they leave home. The internet is a huge part of our daily lives, and keeping a kid away from it will only serve to isolate them. Basically you are exchanging the "I'm being picked on" tag for a "I'm completely ignored by my peers" tag. Neither one is good. Now the best thing would be to have actual active parents who know what their children are doing, but those who live in reality know that will never happen. I've been teaching for awhile, and even in the best schools, only about 20% of the parents have a clue what their children are doing. I'm not saying I know some magic answer for cyberbullying, any more than I do for regular bullying. But at least this legislation attempts to address the problem. I know my school has been tackling cyberbullying for that last few years, and I spend about a week focusing strictly on bullying. Sure, a week of classtime is extremely difficult considering the massive amount of content I'm supposed to cover, but if it helps even one kid stand up against bullying, it's worth it. edit: Do you think Columbine happens if there is no bullying at that school?

Are you kidding? Nowadays that's the same as telling a kid who is bullied to stop going to school. It's not a realistic option. There is this myth that everything you do on the internet is anonymous, and some immature folks think that means they can be total asshats. I'd love to see those folks suddenly be accountable for their behavior.

Gosh, I finish very few games. I'd say for every 10 games I play, I finish one. I'd say adventure games are the only ones I tend to usually finish, and that's pretty much a dead genre. Here's a few: Quest for Glory V - Why did I finish all the others and not this one? Because it was bad. Baldur's Gate 2 - 2 frickin' long. Every JRPG except Secret of Mana and FFIV -Always hit a brick wall boss that meant I needed to go level. I don't grind. Every Elder Scrolls game - They have endings? Wouldn't that require a plot? NWN1 - *snore* Arcanum - Not sure what happened...I think I got confused about my goal in life. Any action-RPG after Diablo - I clicked enough in Diablo to not need to ever click again. PS: Torment - There was a lot of reading, and again...what is my goal here? I'm dead? Games I'm thankful I finished - Deus Ex, Quest for Glory IV, KotOR, Fallout, BG, JA 1 and 2, Xcom 1, Kings Quest 5, Space Quest 3.

Still playing Vanguard...I'm actually at 4 days, 8 hours of playing. I'm level 15 as a Ranger, which is a good place to be, as I can explore all sorts of great areas. I've also been working hard to craft myself some decent arrows. I'm currently a level 13 carpenter, but I think at 14 I'll be able to make decent arrows and get back to adventuring full time. Crafting is frustrating, but the rewards are awesome and it's somewhat addicting. There's an aweful lot more strategy behind it than any game I've played.

I call balderdash.

I think this poll needs more options. Does fantasy have to stand for medieval? What about a low magic medieval settings? Honestly I like any good RPG, regardless of the setting, but I'd like to see a few more futuristic settings.

I get that same thing whenever I end up sleeping on my stomache. I start feeling like I can't breathe well, and I'm not able to lift myself up. I have to kick my legs out until my wife wakes me up fully, allowing me to turn over. It's really odd, I know I'm not going to suffocate, but I just feel terribly helpless.

The Gollop brothers have a game called Laser Squad Nemesis that is play by email. It's a pretty solid tactical game, and they have competitive ladders and all that. I recently got an email about an update, but the play by email thing isn't my cup of tea. It seems to be the only thing they are doing.

My guess is it won't be TB.

You know, right now I'm working hard in a MMO to reach a certain crafting level. It's frustrating and tedious, as well as a bit buggy. But if it were easy and quick, I would not have a sense of accomplishment at the end. Eventually I'll reach a point where the sense of accomplishment isn't worth the work, and that's when I'll stop playing. I'm not sure what the big problem is.

I'm a bit concerned about the Forsberg trade, as he's a pain to play against and I was enjoying him being on the Eastern board. Still, this might hurt Nashville, as they gave up a solid player for one who may get injured at any time.

My favorite part of RPG's are when I start out as a barely experienced noobling. Once I become uber, I become bored. The problem is I'm so powerful in real life,that I really enjoy the fantasy of struggling to kill rats and large insects.

I just bought a widescreen LCD monitor and found out that BF 2142 doesn't support it. They have sai it creates an unfair advantage. That's insane, and I'm very disappointed.

Rage Against the Machine is also reuniting.

Hmm...bit odd that Phoenix sent Nagy to a divisional rival. I guess they don't think he's enough of a threat.

Stuart is a bit hot and cold, but he has the ability to be a premier point scoring defenseman. Primeau also is a very solid defensive player. It's funny how Darryl Sutter is basically bringing in all his old players from the Sharks.

Very Clockwork Orange

I think it's very important to play the game through without the 1.13 mod first. This is just my opinion, but the difficulty of 1.13 may put off folks who don't have much JA experience. Plus, it is buggy. I enjoyed it tremendously for a few weeks and I love that it gave me a new JA fix. However I did hit a few game stopping bugs. For a first time play through, it's nice to be able to carry the campaign through to completion. There's no satisfaction quite like the first tme you hit Diedrianna with a head shot. It's a bummer that the Steam copies are buggy.

So...does it bother anyone else that this thread begins "An user review"? It forces me to pronounce it oo-sir. Very disturbing for a a guy with such high standards.

Garcia broke his leg a couple seasons ago. He's struggled to stay healthy since he left the 49ers. Oh, his dad owns a condo in my complex, and he's the cheapest landlord ever. We made a push to get double paned windows in all the units, and he was one of the folks who refused to do the upgrade. Since all units need to look the same, we couldn't pull it off.

I haven't watched a lot of Rangers games, but it looked to me like Lundqvist really gave away the Detroit game. Jagr is also not as dominant as he was last season, at least statistically. It seems like they've got bigger issues than just the best left winger in hockey's history being bad for chemistry. I do think adding Avery is a plus, as the guy plays all out every shift and he might bring some needed energy to the Rangers bench. Honestly, the Rangers were also outplaying Detroit, even when they lost it in the third. They had numerous offensive chances, but Hasek stood on his head. So I don't think they are terrible, they are just facing a very competitive conference.

Are you talking about the 39 year old guy with 27 goals? Yes, I suppose being on pace for 40 goals is quite the suckage.

I agree that Octavian's new actor is a bit of a mismatch. It's hard to tell after only one episode though, and it was pretty necessary since having a teenager go toe to toe with Antony would be a bit silly. I'm also tired of the the two Noble ladies, but it is almost the end. It's like they are teasing us with almost killing them off each week.

Go buy Vanguard!

"An officer followed Capt Nowak and she was stopped allegedly carrying the wig, an air rifle, a steel mallet, rubber tubing, dustbin bags, black gloves and a knife." At least she was well prepared.
