      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I know presidential elections are still a little ways away, but they&#039;re coming up quick, and every day in the news there&#039;s something about some candidate or another. So I was wondering how many of you have voted in the past, and/or are planning on voting in the future, either in presidential, state, or local elections. I think the majority of active members are of voting age. No one necessarily has to share which parties or candidates he or she endorses, or anything like that.<br />

Would you spend it on personal stuff like video games, would you give some of it away, would you invest in stocks and bonds? What would you do?

The argument is black people can&#039;t be racist because racism is a system of disadvantages due to race since blacks can&#039;t benefit from such a system; they can&#039;t be racist.<br />

In a wonderfully ironic twist this communist dictator died on Black Friday, the most capitalistic day in the world.  Castro will be remembered by most for the terrible monster he was.  A horrible man who murdered any who showed political dissent, the man who kept the people of Cuba in an impoverished state and forced thousands upon thousands of Cubans to...<br />

<br />
This is on my mind because the completely asinine governor of my state (been in office two months, and already a complete muck-up, but that&#039;s not the point right now), has very recently signed into law a bill requiring all women wanting an abortion to have a face-to-face consultation with a healthcare provider.

<br />
Anyways, the title is rather self-explanatory.  Should video games be censored due to whatever reason?  More importantly, should a game made in another country (Let&#039;s be honest, the basis of this thread is about video games from Japan; more on that later) be changed because there are aspects of said game that some might find offensive?  Should you be forced to play a game differently than the creators intended due to somebody...<br />
