It is entirely natural when growing up to be curious about sex and relationships. Locking it all away from them does nothing positive whatsoever. There's nothing "wrong" with sex or porn, I don't see why children need "protection" from it.

He's got a wicked vocal ability, but I don't like the way he sings. It's just not "him", it seems to me that he's trying too hard to copy Lady GaGa. Hopefully he will sort that out soon though. Good luck to him.

@cumeaternc:

I just got done finishing God of War III for the third time last week.  Then I blew through Brutal Legend in about 6 days(very funny game btw).  Right now I am playing inFamous for the second time.  My first playthrough was as a good guy so now I am taking the roll of the bad guy. I just love the red lightning. >:D

Oh yeah…all on my PS3 with an upgraded 250GB hdd.

Sweet. I played the GOWIII demo on my PS3, it's insanely cool. Brutal Legend demo too, might have to buy that some time.

I was a bit silly and bought the 80gb model back in January when it was going cheap. Should've got the 60gb really, it was cheaper and had more functionality. Ah well. Still lovin' my console anyways.

@Spintendo:

A drug is any substance other than food or water that, when ingested, alters the physiological structure of the body. By this definition, alcohol is a drug.

Is it right and moral that the one drug that kills more people every day (gay and straight) than any other substance, is perfectly legal to obtain?

Or is your question directed towards an understanding of what biological and evolutionary benefits could possibly be gained from the use of chemical substances–enough to justify the altering of one's emotions--concomitant with the risk of addiction that frequently accompanies so many of these endeavors?

The questions raised by your comment are too numerous to address here. Suffice it to say that it would be a mistake to label one segment of society as being more prone to addiction than any other. On that point, if it is gay people who experience drug use more often, I would venture to guess that the reason is perhaps the hatred, suspicion, and outright hostility towards an outcast society of people whom, after being persecuted for centuries around the globe and living a life without a deserved dignity, must share the blame for making uninformed choices to use these mood-altering substances.

Strictly speaking, Alcohol is not the cause of those deaths directly. To be precise, the reason for many Alcohol related deaths is a person's lack of awareness of their limits. Alcohol when consumed in reasonable quantities can be perfectly safe (generally speaking, of course there are those who can become drunk very easily) and many find it enjoyable to drink, only when one consumes too much so that it affects their concentration, motor control and cognitive functions does it become dangerous. Thus, the problem is people consuming too much drink, not that it is by itself dangerous.

Regarding the link between the LGBT community and drug use, this is the best article I could find. hxxp://www.lgf.org.uk/drugs/

So what game are you playing at the moment? Discuss away at your leisure.

I'll start off. I'm playing Just Cause 2 for Xbox 360. Brilliant game! Great graphics, good music, hilariously bad voiceovers at times. And a massive environment which is really fun to play in.
