michaelleung: And people wonder why video games are being made out as bad things in the media?
So this 18 year old from Sweden wants to play Starcraft, and he can't because his Internet connection dies for some reason, and he's mad. So instead of doing soothing things like, you know, reading, he gets a knife and stabs a 15 year old girl, who was the first person he saw on the street. Really? Getting pissed over an Internet issue so you can't play Starcraft? Is that really worth going to jail for?
People really need to calm the fuck down, I mean, seriously.

michaelleung: I don't know, but it seems like minimalism costs a lot.

Lone3wolf: Indeed. Bloody Labour. Politicians should be taken out back, lined up against a wall and shot in the head. [My next line in this is probably tasteless as hell, but involves said procedure above working in a certain Oriental nation of over a billion population :P].
Give the power back to the monarchy.... Cromwell should have been hung, drawn and quartered, sliced into chunks and fed to the crabs offshore. </rant>
