CELEBRATION!! !
California State Senator Leland Yee supported the anti-videogame law back in 2005, which was shot down by the supreme court by the way. And now he's been arrested! For what you may ask?
Quote:
Bribery, Political Corruption, and brokering an arms deal.
The man who once
Quote:
argued that games sold to minors by a retailer should result in the retailer being penalized by the government traded political favors for campaign donations, worked closely with the Chinese Mafia while running for Secretary of State, and even tried to traffic guns from the Philippines to a Jersey gangster in 2011. It just so happens that the gangster and campaign donors were also undercover FBI agents.
Quote:
If Mr. Yee is found guilty of all charges, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 125 years, along with a fine of $1.75 million dollars. I look forward to the trial where he'll plead his innocence and attribute his crimes to corruption from playing Grand Theft Auto, one time.
I, too, look forward to it.

There's a lot of people who have videos games as their top priority. A lot of people. That does not make them a loser. It makes them a gamer, and gamers, are the most awesome people you can meet. So in that effect, we gamers are not losers, we are gamers are winners.
My top priority has always been video games, and it always will be.

You know who the real losers are? People who have nothing better to do with their lives than insult people for their hobbies, and who think people actually care about their opinion.

Hold on a minute, are you saying I'm a loser because I have an opinion? For one thing, sharing my opinion does not make me a loser. There's no need to use a wink emoticon, I know your trying to insult me.
I never insulted anyone for their hobby, I felt insulted because it sounded like someone was insulting my hobby of video games.
However I will apologize if he wasn't insulting my hobby, that is, assuming he was talking about the politician. But, if he and / or you are trying call me a loser, than I will not apologize.
I never said anyone was a loser, so I don't see a reason for either of you to call me such names.

Actually, that part was levelled at the other guy. The only reason I quoted you too, was because I was collaborating with you, and I was trying to communicate that with the wink emoticon. I guess that didn't work. Sorry if you felt insulted, because I actually agree with your post. The other, ulterior motive for that emoticon was to indicate to the other guy that I'm not angry or anything, and think he just made a fool of himself for taking the time out of his schedule to visit our neck of the woods to insult gamers.

I'm sorry too. I guess I over-reacted.
