POPSFacebook asked to pull Scrabulous game Hrm, this just seems like a stupid way to go about it. Yes, it is a gross infringement of thier rights, however, it is one of the most popular games/apps on Facebook. I know lots of people who play it. My girlfriend decided to add scrabble to her xmas wishlist after playing it on facebook and being reminded of haw good a game it is. She got the deluxe version of the game under the tree :) As I see it, the idiots are missing out. They could make a deal witht he writers gaining the majority (if not all/nearly all) of any profits made from teh game, and use it to link to thier product, re brand it as official and make MONEY through internet sales of the real thing. Morons. Everybody is shoot first, shoot again.. shoot a little more & when everyone is dead, ask a question or two.. Reminds me of the Alberta Preimier - Domain name issue...

POPSThe Case for Mandatory Organ Donation Personally, I prefer the idea of reversing the organ donation code on your ID.. ie: you are in by default, you MUST say no on your ID to opt out. (n most places, including i think everywhere in Canada, you are out by default & opt-in). Mandatory donation could go against the rights of the individual, especially those who for religious reasons find it abhorrent.

POPSDST Changerover causes student to spend days in juvie... Looks like the school and the police are trying to bury it... they feel they were in the right as: County officials said Tuesday that Webb was in custody no longer than the law requires. "Legally, we were OK. We didn't step on this kid's rights," said Mike Sturnick, supervisor for the juvenile probation office. no they just screwed him is all. He doesn't even want to go back to that school again.. it will likely have a negative effect on his year & grades overall & mental stress to boot. But hey, who cares... the didn't step on his rights... How would you feel if you were arrested & detained for days because the police couldn't bother to investigate properly?

POPSSex Change, No Surgery Required Weird ;) I've never understood the trans-gender thing, but I know (sort of) a couple guys who are. I think this is fine, but I can see some growing-pains and fallout attached. Will see what happens ;) Anyone who frequents bars knows that whichever bathroom has the shortest line is the one you go into... ;)

POPSSouth African Parliament Approves Gay Marriages Good for them... “How do you give someone permission to discriminate in the name of the A.N.C.? How do you allow for someone to vote against the constitution and the policies of the A.N.C., which is anti-discrimination?”

POPSN.J. court orders equal rights for same-sex couples Hrm.. they got it half right.. though I really don't mind the legislative branch handling the title.. Though if they don't call it "Marriage", it'll likely be revisited again in a few years, then again, etc until it is changed. The Conservative (minority) government here in Canada is flirting with trying to appeal the decision by courts to make same-sex marriage legal here in Canada, but the consensus so far is that they will likely lose. It's harder to take rights away than to give them, especially after they have been given for over a year.

Threats to Moltov Cocktails... I bet these same idiots are the ones that scream when uncle sam uses force to subdue those tha displease him...

POPSBlizzard CEO Responds to GLBT Issue
Article about how Blizzard's CEO has finally made it clear-ish where they stand on sexuality in World of Warcraft. This is revolving around the stories in the past couple of months about a GLBTer being told she could not advertise a GLBT guild in game. This is an issue that really bothered me, I think that I you can have Christian groups, Republican groups, etc, you should be able to have a GLBT group. The whole idea of guilds in online games is to play with people you get along with. The remarks some people make of how sexuality has no place in games are in my opinion, ignorant, as sexuality (sexual orientation in this case) play a major role in our daily lives, online and off. It defines how we talk and relate to one another. Besides, I can completely agree with the reasoning for GLBT guild.. i can't even begin to count how many time I've heard "He's a fag" or "that's soo gay". Granted, "That's so gay" is rarely meant in a negative way (really..), but "Fag" is us
