Sepharo, fun you say that. There are one or more actual studies on the internet that show that console gamers prefer their protagenist to be a criminal or some other asshole.

AI/neural nets, machines building machines, etc. have all been around for a good while now

Excuse me, what????? When did we create an AI? No, Watson doesn't count. Nothing yet developed comes remotely close to displaying the cognitive capabilities of what is popularly considered "true" AI. Short of a spontaneous breakthrough, Skynet is a long ways off.

PC Gamer wrote a hilarious column on this game last Saturday. http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/11/25/sim-plicity-i-am-a-bridge-builder/

Edit: Wait, this appears to be a different game. A sudden rash of bridge building games? Weird.

They should stick with the consoles and piss off. I've realized for quite a few years by now that Rockstar lacks creativity anyway. Every game of theirs has to be some bandit-sympathizer one way or the other. Now it's true the typical console kid gets a total hard-on for that but I'm sick of those cliche anti-hero bs concepts. They even managed turn Max Payne in that same thug-infested fuckshow. I'd still like to see them burn for what they done with that franchise and the man.

I was just about to say, "Wow they did a really good job avoiding a single location in Michigan" but then I saw: "Central Michigan University". Hey my alma mater on a very short list of currently mapped universities, neat.

? That is ok, but very recently kids get arrested for making maps in DOom and Quake of their own schools?

Tons of these stories online....
WTF is wrong with this world?

IRS DATA GENIUS. What more PROOF do you need Mr. In Denial?

Wow...

I hope you know yelling 'IRS DATA' without actually saying anything makes you look more like an ignoramous, This Data shows us tax rates. That is all.
Your appeal to authority with those editorials really goes to prove *no* points that your trying to make. It shows that this fellow seems to think rich people are being taxed enough already, but that doesn't really have much to do with socialism. Unless of course you think having tax rates similar to what we had during the 50's would make us socialist.

I'm not questioning the IRS data. I'm questioning the conclusions they have drawn (I'd say you, but you're essentially asking me to argue with a surrogate, presumably because you have no arguments of your own to make) which is basically an implied argument that taxes are just fine/raising them can resolve nothing. The REAL argument is if they are paying their fair share, some would say no, some would say yes - BUT! That has little to do with socialism.
This guys argument boils down to, 'if it isn't a flat-tax rate than it is more than your fare share.' not many would agree with that. (Obviously things like flat tax make sense from a 'common sense' approach. The mistake is to assume that common sense is always helpful. Common sense also would lead you to believe the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth.)

Just because you pay more taxes than some doesn't mean your paying a fair share already. If you think some dude making a blog post and talking about how he thinks tax rates are just fine or more than fair is proof of anything -- citing IRS/CBO data or otherwise, then be my guest.

Killer denial statement brohammer!!

What matters is the FACT that Cutter (and most of you liberals) think socialism is "rich paying fair share". What's also FACT is the IRS records indicating the rich pay 4x more than the middle class.

I'll add the FACT that you guys can't believe it, won't believe it, determined to make your own "fairness" doctrine about what working Americans should pay -- because you are so far up pelosi, reeds, and obamas ass of propaganda you can't imagine life anywhere else. And you are the last damn people to tell anyone what they should pay. You don't even believe in hard work, don't believe in capitalism, don't believe in our constitution.

Want my opinion? Most liberals are pessimistic, whiny, needy, lazy, in denial, think they're smart, fake around others, pompous, insecure, and life trolls - that's my only opinion in the matter.

But I have no need to state opinions really. Liberals automatically disregard opinion, and just as often disregard fact. Just as you all have proven right here in this thread.

2. I can name dozens.

3. None of it will make sense to you if you cannot comprehend #1.

4. You start. Name something substantial that taught you about socialism, it's history, or its current implementation and affect.

5. It's all socialism with you eh?

6. I was just wondering what history books you've read.

7. Right now I'm reading the The Dark Tower VII. It's taken me forever to get through the series because I read a few chapters before I go to sleep and then I drop my phone on my face.

Exactly the reason I didn't bother with you.

And the Dark Tower series owns. I won't lib out on you and post a spoiler.

Maybe you should actually live in or well-know someone who lived in a socialist country before you announce the wonderfulness of what you believe it is.

All Nordic countries are essentially socialistic democracies.

Oddly enough, they also tend to shine in the quality of life barometers - even your own Newsweek elected one to be the best country to live in in 2011..

Hilarious how out of touch you guys are, seriously.

You should be reading some history books instead of repeating dorm room discussions where you keep saying the same things over and over patting each other on the back.

Name a history book you read.

We'll start with common sense and go from there. If you can comprehend the simple stuff, I may enlighten you.

Here's a start, one even from your beloved liberal cnbc to start:

fairshare?
Fair Share

I admit, I am but a simple minded liberal, but are these history books? I only see online editorials.

You are indeed, my answer to your question was addressed. I'll re-quote it, maybe it'll make sense if its in brainwash form - repeating repeating:
