Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Actually, I was reading somewhere that NRA was decrying certain violent videogames, but not mentioning others. Gonna have to find that article.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Heed my warnings. When your children gain Uber-1337 FPS skillz, they shall turn upon you with violent intent and headshot your ass, and then they shall put their crouches upon your mangled faces in their wicked arts of tea-bagging.
This has been foretold by the great prophets of Moral Guardianism, Fox News, and we all know that they're trustworthy when it comes to just about everything.

It used to be the Republicans were the more moderate and more rationale party. Within the last fifteen years, that situation has reversed, and the Republicans now hold onto unrealistic tenets and are forced into a lock-step when it comes to voting. And now they have a view that the poor are too stupid or too lazy to get money.
The feeling is that the Tea Party has a stranglehold and is keeping the Republican middle from having it's own voice. That there is a total lack of intellectual courage and lack of diversity in thought.
