PS3 Slim or XBOX 360 Elite? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

My son (age 13) is saving for one of these consoles and I want to help him figure out which one would be best for him. Based on what I have read so far it seems like the 360 would be the better choice. It has a lot more games and I have read that their online stuff is better. It will be connected with component cables to a 36" CRT wide-screen TV with 1080i resolution. I don't know anything else about these consoles, so any help is appreciated.

@burningicekills What you are quoting is not fact, nor evidence, it is something you pulled out of your ass. In other words, your are guessing (and your guess is incorrect). My synopsis of you argument is accurate but I will rephrase it . "Weed is illegal because I suppose some people had a reason for making it illegal, therfore it should be illegal.

@burningicekills Essentially the argument that you are making is, "because weed is illegal, it should be illegal." Who can argue with that reasoning? [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Most of those quotes have to do with government in general. Perhaps your articles should be about the problems in allowing governments to become too big/powerful, or find quotes that are specific to communism.

Putting aside the question of whether you could get all the necessary parties to agree to do this, I do like the idea. My main criticism is that 10 years is too short of a time for the first vote of independence. I think that the changes made to the country would need about 40 years in order to be ingrained in their culture. That is when the children who where there at the beginning will now be the people who will be running the country. I also think that a massive exchange student progr

Bush is saying that we never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people. However I doubt that is what he meant.

Reply to Can Someone Name an Efficient Government Program? in Politics JoeUser Forums

That's a hard question to answer. Are we talking about all government or just the Federal? I can't think of any Federal programs, but I do recall recall reading about state/local programs that claimed efficiency. While efficiency should always be a goal in government programs, I don't think that is their primary purpose (as it is with business). For government programs I think the primary question is "is it effective?"

Abe? you might think it comes off as "it is just as I feel" but it sure reads like a attack and a hatefull message. then to abandon things with "I do not care to debate with you" after crapping all over lula is well.... cowardly No, just an acknowledgement of the futility of any such conversation.

KFC and lulapilgrim, I have no interest in debating religious dogma with either of you or anybody else. I understand that it's an interesting/important topic for some, but it is not for me. I see hate in this article as well as most articles posted here at JU, and yes, this does make me sad. JU used to be a better place than it is now; and I haven't seen any signs that things will improve. As I stated in my first post in this thread, this is not an attack against anyb

I gotta ask why? A good Catholic would not be a very vocal supporter of abortion and Kerry is! What about the letter would possibly disgust you? then why would disgust change into sadness? 1. Your definition of "good catholic" is an opinion, not an absolute. The church is full of people who think that Kerry is a good catholic. 2. Point one is irrelevant. 3. The church is supposed to be an aide to help guide people to know God bette

I've written his parish priest in Massachusetts and asked that Kerry not be given the Holy Eucharist when he unworthily presents himself at the altar. When I first read this I felt disgusted, now I feel very sad.
