Yeah, all of those criminal cases where gamers bludgeon people to death with their game boxes and cartridges are getting out of control. I hope digital distribution will be able to put an end to this madness.

On an unrelated note, they forgot to ask the question "Have you ever played a videogame?" in the survey.

adambiser: I know lots of "rednecks" who are gamers.

Those results are from a "Survey of 508 Republican primary voters". Hardly representative of much more than the people they actually surveyed.
Indeed:

Q13 Would you describe yourself as very liberal, somewhat liberal, moderate, somewhat conservative, or very conservative?

Very liberal ...................................................... 1%
Somewhat liberal ............................................ 2%
Moderate......................................................... 14%
Somewhat conservative.................................. 41%
Very conservative ........................................... 41%

They should have added "nudity". There would have been no contest.

I don't think they're worried about bludgeoning.

TBH, this is why we need to better fund education in the US. We don't have a conservative party in the US anymore. We used to have one, but now we have moderate and fascist. There is no liberal or conservative party left.

I usually see the vote between the republicans and democrats as a choice between being shot and hung. This is why one of my favorite episodes of south park is the douche and turd episodes. That covers how I feel every election.

I'm that last one that is going to refute the level of stupidity in this country, shit I'm surrounded by it! My only beef is that the post made it sound like (perhaps unintentionally) that America is the only country with stupid people in it. I for one find that hard to believe.
You should come to Brazil...
The amount of stupid people here is TOO DAMN HIGH.
Not that I'm saying you are stupid or anything of the sort. =D

The Wall Street Journal just named Brazil the "social media capital of the world". You folks are abviously doing something right.

Really? Then I question the intelligence of the columnist. hehehe
Seriously... I don't know what he meant by that but if "social media capital of the world" he was trying say: "Where most people waste their time on Orkut and Facebook" then, yes, he was right.

Which party is equivalent to being shot? I can see a clear advantage here, since the shock will hopefully ease the pain until it's all over, which should not take long - whereas hanging means a painful choking death. I cannot speak from experience, though, those are only assumptions. And it depends a lot on where the shot hits you, I assume there are... um... benevolent executioners? That sounds a bit weird, and might be a very bad hypothesis...

The main thing is I dont find fault with a party in general. No I would say its moreso when it comes to the ARCH-Liberal and ARCH-Conservative. There can be nasties on either side.

That is true, but it's been a while since the GOP was willing to even pretend like the care about America. At least at the party level.
