Gotta love it. The AG has been funding a group who are trying to discern a link between video games and violence. Biased much?

And then to top it off, you have the fine intellectual fellows from the Christian Lobby to top it off :

'A media release sent out earlier on the day Dr Warburton's comment was aired on TV read: "Gaming industry claims that the link between violent computer games and aggressive thoughts or behaviour is unproven are reminiscent of the tactics of tobacco companies in questioning the link between smoking and lung cancer, the Australian Christian Lobby said."'

Riiiiiight - I dunno about any of you guys that play first person shooters, but I'm yet to murder anyone

I am thinking of getting this front lip for my car, yay or nay?

Yes, some people may recognize that car, i believe the owner is a forum member, or a friend of some forum members.

[bezender]

[scandyflick]

ugly lip is ugly.

When you going? The f1 is on from the 26th I'll be there around then too.

bit of a bias with that dickhead atkinson eh? I mean hes there vilifying gamers in general, and here we find hes actually giving money to people who are >actively trying< to find a link between violence and gaming. They (and by extension atkinson) lost all pretense of objectivity the moment they set out. You look hard enough at anything and you'll see a pattern, no matter how spurious.... I just wonder what planet this guy is on, first he says hes more afraid of gamers than bikies (hahahaahahahah) and now this..

Ironic thing about this all, is that mental health therapists use FPS simulations on returned soldiers with post traumatic stress disorder to help them become more stable, productive members of society.

God I hate labor right now.

End rant.

You voted them in, you have no one to blame but yourself and others like you

Ahh but not in the state election. Last two times I voted green (i tend to vote green in state elections)

But you're right federally

K rudd disappointed. Mind you I also voted Howard in and spent the next 3 elections trying to get the bastard out.

I suppose all politicians are destined to disappoint me

-D

Edit - I should be used to the fact that there are 'core' and 'non core' promises eh? Like we can just say whatever during the election campaign, and we'll get away with not fufilling it as the opposition infights and generally doesnt do the job of keeping the incumbent pollies honest. Oh how I wish the democrats hadnt imploded

Don't think they would be any better. And despite what you may say about Howard he did a f**kton more for this country than dickface ever will

and that sir, is a debate that could take a long long time to resolve (not saying rudd isnt a disappointment, totally is - gillard woulda been better)

personally, i think costello is more to thank for the improvements than howard, much is the shame howard didnt step aside for him but thems the breaks

and i dont think the democrats had any real pull as a major power, but it was better tho when they had the balance of power in the senate - id certainly prefer them to have the balance of power than barney joyce or family first... (even tho barney is good for some laughs now and again)
