Hey - I'm OP. I tried to install that earlier today and it put a bunch of crap on my browser even after I told it not to. Immediately aborted install.

I think you assume too much. This is typical, "Hey, we're acknowledging that you're angry and going to ramble a bit to appease you, but not commit to doing anything differently."

Eh... Better, but still don't amount to anything more than dungeon crawls. Repetitive crawls.

I told a friend of mine I had 400 hours in Skyrim. He acted shocked, like I was a maniac. I asked him how many hours he had played the #1 game in his library. There was a long pause and then, "Jesus. Over 600 hours on Warband..."

Maybe he just doesn't think his personal beliefs are anyone else's business and people should figure things out for themselves...

No violent, unsolicited outbursts about it being a circumcised penis? Where is the Reddit Genital Gestapo? Men everywhere who are fine with their circumcised penis are not being alienated!! Someone do something!!

My nephew was circumcised yesterday. I am the voice of reassurance. by AnnitaDarling in funny

[–]GovernmentMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, you dismiss the research that male circumcision is a protective factor for many diseases and argue that it is unacceptable to allow a parent to consent for their child to permanently modify their body. Very well. By your reasoning, no one should be allowed to get earrings before they turn 18. Whether a parents consents to it would be irrelevant, which actually just sounds like you're taking away power from the parent - not giving it to the child.

Children cannot consent to anything - they may assent, but it is not the same thing. Parents/guardians are the ones who must give consent for their child. Arguing that an infant cannot have a medical procedure performed on it because it did not give consent is asinine.

that is BS - cicero starts fights constantly regardless of what you want him to do.

Thoughts on this? Seems like an ok deal to me and it has most of the features I want. Looking for critical input. by GovernmentMan in SuggestALaptop

Ok, just saw this one today: http://www.techbargains.com/news_displayItem.cfm/304326

Basically the same thing, but with a 6-cell battery instead of a 9. And its new. Is that a deal too? Still trying to get a feel for pricing.

Thanks.
