The successive headline should read:

'Grandparents Beat Idiotic Murdering Children to Death With Large Blunt Objects'
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for. - Earl Warron

The advantages of living in the Heart of Dixie- low cost of living, peace and quiet and a conservative majority. For some reason I think that the first two items have a lot to do with the presence of the last one.

A number of MMO horror stories have come out of the far east recently, particularly from China where the craze has taken off big style, including  a pair of people killed falling asleep crossing a railway line after a 40 hour session (how two people fall asleep together while walking is beyond me) and a murder over a stolen "dragon sabre" when the police would not take action.
   If the "Ban this sick filth" lobby, led by the redoubtable Daily Mail, pick up the dead baby story it will make their day. Though things are starting to change a little, Gaming in the UK carries a stigma stoked by press campaign's against games such as GTA and Doom 3.
   If someone asks what you use the internet for, it is less embarrassing to claim you use it for viewing pornography......

People like that shopuldn't Breed. that's Just wrong. Family first before anygame. God only knows, I've even left the SFC matches before, Because of Family.

I hope when they get to Prison they get a Napalm Enama.

+1 Steve!

I too have been known to drop out of any game I'm in if my family needs me.

Napalm is a little hard to handle, how about some high test TNT butt plugs?
