    Because its too much trouble to actually play games in your backyard, you have to spend $300+ on the system, game and controllers to play them from your couch. Ugh.


    What's next? "Take your dog to the dog park simulator"? Yeah, i guess they already have that. How about, instead, you just go outside and actually go do the things you are simulating in the game? Obviously don't simulate an FPS (Back off Jack Thompson), but who really needs a game to play darts? Bocce? Comon.

    @Pombar: The Death penalty is used on people who should be not allowed to live because of the crimes they've comitted, you would agree with it if someone close to you was killed, raped etc. someone who kills five people deserves to die imho.

    @GunSilence: I disagree. I see death as an easy way out. Plus, how many wrongful convictions have there been in the past? Its much too early in the morning for me to be looking up numbers, but one innocent man sent to the gallows should be enough to abolish the principle of a death penalty entirely, wouldn't you agree?

    Lemonade Tycoon. Let's see if he can hire people with a high minimum wage, required health care, huge federal state and local property taxes, and the mob making sure people dont work for him unless they are union. Oh, and you aren't encouraged to make more than 200,000 a year because that's wrong.

    I agree with you, but not with him. There are proper ways of saying that you dislike someone, and he chose the wrong way. I know, people act like Obama is going to save the world, but he has done nothing to indicate that. I hope he does great, but I don't see what all the fuss was about. Yeah, and his inauguration party price tag pissed me off too.
