The old school D&D might have been light gang activity compared to the new breed of RP players out there..this gang of MMORPG players is a few million strong and if you can't do your role in killing whom they choose your gonna be taken out. They have uniform requirements in which each piece of clothing you wear is giving a rating and if your rating isn't high enough then you are relegated to the level dog until it does.
Over and over again the sub-leaders of this massive organization gather together hovering over their computers using long distance communication to bark out orders and requirements which must be complied with or die. When will it end? Who will stop this horrible phenomenon of gang activity?
I'm a 35 year old housewife, who never even finished high school. But over a year ago I realized we were paying way to much for nothing with cable t.v. We cut it off, I hooked a computer to the t.v. and we've been just fine with hulu, netflix, and the occasional Itunes and Amazon purchase ever since. It has saved us a ton of cash and we find we spend less time watching t.v. now and more time in other activities.
No it's not the name brand that's important it's the cost of those particular brands I was alluding too. Which let's face it are more expensive than generic smokes and a bic lighter. The fact is somebody found them and didn't think "Oh well she can obviously afford more" and decide to keep it. They were kind enough to send them back regardless.
I once accidentally left my cigarette case at a bus stop down town. There was a a full pack of Marlboro's in it along with my $20.00 zippo and my identification card and $30.00 in it. 2-3 weeks later I received it in the mail, everything was inside it and there was no return address.
I know it's not the same as having something stolen, but this story reminded me of that.
This indeed seems to be a manipulation of the law. It sounds like the guy was upset his footage & song were used without permission, not that he was trying to silence Moore, whom I'm generally a fan of.
I cut my cable over a year ago and I still don't miss it. We have a pc in the living room, and use hulu, netflix, Amazon on Demand, and the occasional itunes purchases. I'm not missing cable one bit.
I don't why they aren't but I'll tell you who I would like to sue is Skype, they advertise an unlimited plan which actually is limited. Most people won't see the little fine print when they buy but here is there "Fair Usage Policy"
Calls to phones and mobiles and Skype To Go* calls are included in your subscription subject to a fair usage limit of 10,000 minutes per user per month, with a maximum of 6 hours per day.
But the plan says Unlimited calls* to landline phones worldwide. well that's not really unlimited is it.
