^The game itself is not trying to indoctrinate children - it is attempting to appeal to parents who have ALREADY indoctrinated their children. When I was growing up, I could BARELY even listen to the kind of music featured in this game (ultra-conservative parents). Music was the first thing about which I was at all open-minded, and that allowed me to become open-minded about the rest of the world.

Sweet merciful hades...that's hard enough with the guitar controller - I can only imagine how much more difficult it was using that drum controller.

This is sick...every single official tries to blame it on someone else - it's not the bus driver's fault, it's the district's fault for not providing a monitor, it's the NEA's fault for not putting the requirement for a monitor in writing, etc.

The simple fact is that there's plenty of blame to go around. The district is certainly at fault for not making sure he had a monitor (and for trying to deny the fact that the request for a monitor was in writing), but the bus driver is primarily at fault for acting like a behaviorally challenged child herself. She's an adult, responsible for the safe transport of multiple special needs children, which means that, regardless of anyone else's shortcomings, it is her own damn fault that she got up, walked to the back of the bus, and choked a child. There is no excuse, and it is inexcusable that the district put her back to work on another bus for a while.

@HollywoodBob: You're right, it really isn't the American way. Not only is it why we're in this predicament to begin with, it's why the government has picked up so many social programs that could be handled so much better on a local level.

@Rotty:

"Demoncrat"? Really? Because all we need is more silly nicknames "demonizing" our opponents. And don't forget who one of the key figures was in actually sparking the attitudes that led to those wars: Republican senator Joseph McCarthy - the truest example of a traitor and domestic terrorist this nation has ever seen. Were it not for people like McCarthy, it's possible we might not have had the same level of National Paranoia that ultimately led to the travesty of the Vietnam war.

Don't ask propagandists to explain their propaganda. They'll just keep spouting propaganda.

Upvote for the YT Poster's idiotic description. He clearly has no idea what's in that ancient book he purports to follow.

Wow. That's one of those stupid laws you expect every state to have at least one of, but I'm amazed the state is actually trying to enforce it. I'm even more amazed they're trying to enforce it with a straight face.

AGH!!! Need to scrub my brain with bleach now.

I recognized every game ripped off except for penultimate. Where the hell is Zangief from SF2 a massive green boss? Or is it just a somewhat ridiculous rip of SF2, just like the last one is a bizarre ripoff of Birdo?

You know, I could have sworn that the Republicans DID have a blowout defeat.

And just for the record, his timeline is a little off. If Moveon.org started during the Clinton impeachment, that's nowhere near 15 years ago.

It's almost a given that any politician who can inspire a grassroots movement is more likely to win. If the Republicans aren't inspiring these movements outside of mega-churches, maybe they should take a step back and ask themselves why.

How is England irrelevant in any way? Man, you conservatives are a silly bunch...you'd think you'd at least try to be nice to the one last ally Bush DIDN'T manage to alienate.

The premise is a bit ridiculous (e.g., I'm going to go find Bin Laden myself, even though the combined might of several militaries has been unable to do so), but that ridiculous premise is used to good effect to show off how complex the underlying issues really are.

Have to say, though, that having been to Israel myself, I wonder if he wasn't just using footage of those Israelis who reacted poorly to him. There are moderates and extremists on both sides of that can of worms.

What I find hilarious is that he says athletes are among the least susceptible to his "powers." Shouldn't that mean that his students become LESS susceptible as he trains them? Shouldn't it also mean that he himself is not so susceptible? Total BS.

Ya know, it's really not that hard to filter what you're saying mentally. I've got a very foul mouth, but I've never had a problem with filtering my wording around people who might not appreciate the profanity. Must have been a long day for Joe the Pundit
