  6. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

  10. /ranton Fuck to the no. Bad parenting makes kids dangerous. I cannot count how many kids I know, including myself, that have been playing extremely violent video games(as in M shit your brix nao video games) since elementary school and are completely normal, if not even doing better currently then many sports players/fans. Im fairly certain there is currently more crime going on in the ghetto, where kids have never even seen a PS3 or owned a computer better than Windows 98, then there is at my nice little suburban area. So, as I said in my last post regarding video game addiction... Unless someone presents cold hard evidence(again, NOT STUDIES. Studies do not mean SHIT.) then I'm not buying any of it. An increase in crime and kids freaking the fuck out and going batshit crazy in school should be linked to parents not being able to give their kids a good smack in public anymore. As the generations progress every new set of parents punishes their kids less and less(in the sense of weakening punishment. We went from a good whack on the ass with a plank as the norm to even a small slap will land you in jail). Now, my parents didn't bend me over and hit me with a stick or anything, but when I did something ridiculously stupid or dangerous I got a nice smack(if we weren't in public that is). And guess what? I NEVER DID IT AGAIN. Its such a simple concept, as an early brain progresses if you teach them doing something bad makes even badder shit happen they won't do it. Now, lets compare it to modern punishment... Timeout? Lolwhat? Cool, I get to chill here for 10 minutes. In School Suspension? EVEN BETTER. I get to chillax a whole freaking day not doing any school work while I listen to my iPod and text friends. Out of school suspension? kick ass. Don't have to go to school for months, how sweet is that. All these new punishments are based on the assumption children are going to automatically think its some crappy hell to be put through when its not. ISS and OSS? What the fuck ever. In ISS you get to just sit there instead of doing work... The thought that they'd have more work to do when they returned would be based on the fact that that child actually cares about school, which most kids don't. OSS is based on the thought that the parent would punish their kids at home.. Which is wrooooooong. Hardly any OSS'd child's parents actually care enough to make a severe punishment longer than a few weeks. Taking away technology(lol, our parents and everyone before them could live without it, so what the hell makes them think we can't?), putting them in the corner, not making them do all work... none of them are effective. Punishment like a smack or spanking, or being kicked out of the house for a night or two is what makes kids get the hell in line and stay there.
  11. Wrong. Let me give you all the actual characteristics and requirements of an addiction: 1. Physical AND/OR Mental cravings for the subject at hand. You have a physical and mental craving for most drugs after you abuse them continuously as your body develops a requirement for them in order to function... At best you may have a mental craving to play video games, but honestly you have the mind of a 5 year old if you can't live without games. This is actual cravings, not "...Mm, I can't wait till I get home so I can play some L4D." and 2. This is probably the more defining part of an addiction... Physical and/or Mental withdrawal symptoms. Meaning when the subject at hand is taken from you you experience EXTREME physical and/or mental withdraws. This doesn't mean "Damn, haven't playing WoW in awhile. Really need to get my subscription back before I get even more bored." If that classified as an addiction, then everything someone enjoyed would be an addiction. Withdrawal symptoms are where you vomit because you haven't done crack in awhile, or your mind just goes blank and you go fetal position because you haven't gotten drunk in a few days. THOSE are withdrawal symptoms. When my internet goes down or my comp is fucked up and I can't play any computer games for a few days sure, I get bored, but i have never just started vomiting and getting nausea or headaches(physical withdrawal) from not playing them, nor have I ever crawled up into a corner and started shaking from not being able to shout "BOOM HEADSHOT"(mental withdrawal). This whole video game addiction crap is just an excuse for people to blame their failing grades, lack of a job, etc on. If someone goes to their job everyday for years why is that not an addiction? Why is some kid that loves to run outside and play sports instead of homework not 'addicted'? This video game shit is just a bunch of political crap made up by therapists and parents. People who think that we're addicted to video games just because we like playing them instead of doing homework or whatever(LOL, Duh. EVERYONE likes doing fun things better than work. Not doing your work in favor of something leisurely is called LAZINESS. Not addiction) are honestly stupid. Because we like doing something continuously since its fun doesn't mean we have a comparable addiction to someone whose been tripping balls on meth everyday for years. So, until someone presents me with solid, SCIENTIFIC proof about video games(not some bullshit study that shows teens who play video games have worse grades or some shit. Nor some news station with a 5 minute special on some kid with ADHD getting all cranky. Those are studies, not proof.) that directly connects a video game with both extreme cravings and withdrawal I'm not even going to believe for a second there's addiction involved. /rant

    Wait, so theres a difference between having a full functional laptop screen on your lap with a thousand more options and possibilities than having a little screen on your lap that can't do half of what the prior could do? The only difference in what your saying would be the keys and mouse, which TBH is more of a bonus than disadvantage.
