I'm not playing my XBox to pick up women, I'm there to play a game. I don't care about your skin color or sexual preference. Hell, I probably don't even care what your real name is, either.

My favorite games have always been on Nintendo systems. After seeing which games I have played I would pick Kingdom Hearts. I spent so many hours on that game. I never would have guessed that a crossover of Disney and Square would have worked. Glad I was wrong.

Community Standards based laws should be ruled unconstitutional. If you can't read a law and know definitively that your actions are legal or illegal than the law was written poorly and needs to be revoked, or rewritten.

Seriously though I'm going with Dan on this one. Although not having any farmville spam is worth the risk :P I'm using all those google services anyway and I have to use a few for work, so it's also just easier for me to use buzz since I'm already there. I'm also enjoying the "Note in Reader" button you can put in your browser toolbar that adds the funny/interesting things i find on the web to my Reader and Buzz pages. One button laziness instead of logging in to your email or facebook accounts then Copy/Pasting links, pics. Long story short, I like Buzz better then Facebook. I for one welcome our Ant Overlords.

If they ever abandon their "do no evil" stance, we might be in for a world of hurt.

I haven't checked Buzz out - just skipped over it in a hurry to open my email - but I will. I'd like being able to do more in one place - with my Google login - so I hope this will be good.

Considering the fact that the courts determined the drawings were without "“serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value," yes, they would have arrested him for that, too. As such, I fear for a lot of the people on DeviantArt. “Would he have been arrested for a collection of drawings that he made?”

Despite the seedy manga that this guy had, they were PUBLISHED works from REAL companies. This kind of ruling leads the way for being arresting and sentenced for possession of Mein Kampf or the Communist Manifesto. This would be no different if the guy had drawn a "naughty" picture for himself that other people found offensive. Would he have been arrested for a collection of drawings that he made? Our rights are being undermined very slowly, and this is evidence of that taking place. I could not possibly agree more with you.
