Ah good. More government. It sure will be nice to know that part of my paycheck pays the salary of people who serve on a “video game advisory council.”

Fuck the People’s Republic of NY. I’m moving.

Seriously, with all that is wrong with this state they are after video games and american’s poor youth. How about you hold an advisory council for parents who neglect their children.

> passing almost unanimously a bill in the State Assembly

And we can’t even blame democrats or republicans because both sides voted for it. I’m sure they agreed to pack this new council it with friends and family from both sides.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States._

It’s right there in the single most important document in the history of our country. So who’s ready for a bloody coup? Maybe it’s time for the citizens of NY to write their own declaration and have the balls to act on it.

That’s fucking shit. Damn it makes me so angry I want to go steal a car, drive down the nearest sidewalk, rape a hooker and then steal her money. Maybe I will kill a few guys to with it and have a burger. Gotta remember to get a diet coke through. Don’t want to get fat.
