任天堂Wiiは運動の一種と見なされるべきではない。 Had a good laugh over some the comments, pro and con. With this reasoning maybe we should also consider it a disease as well : Wii (any console type system) is highly addictive, as an addiction it has problems and potential side-effects, and many addictio

The U.S. should convert to the metric system. I have been saying this for years ... our culture is so deep into this archaic piece of crap we call a "measuring system" that I don't see how we could ever change. It would take a mandatory federal law or an act of God to make it happen, maybe after all

平均的なコンピュータユーザーにとって、一番良いオペレーティングシステムは、マックOS Xである。 "Average" is a pretty loose term. I used to run about, sometimes for pay sometimes not, helping folks in their home with their hardware and software needs.

携帯電話は公立校で禁止されるべきだ。 in the classroom itself, many devices are: radios, dvd players, cd players, tv's ... cell phones do so much today, they have become all those and more. they should be banned to allow students to focus on the task at hand: learning. Distractions have alway

暴力的なビデオゲームは暴力的行為の一因になっているか？ According to recent studies in the US, Canada and Europe they do contribute. (e.g., see the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research in Ann Arbor). For about a century now, psychologists have been sa

インターネットアクセスに関して収税と地方税の永続停止があるべきだ。 What's next? surfing? walking? running? blowing up balloons? taxing sunshine? air? how about free electrons or gamma radiation? sneezing? the internet is not a physical thing established as an entity in one place or at one time. It should be supported as

技術的進歩は人間の生活を向上させる傾向にある。 The operative word here is "tend" and so I have to agree they "tend" to improve our quality of life. In actuality it all depends on how that technology is perceived and ultimately used by the masses that determines it's impact on human life. Take cell pho

Computer literacy is not an important qualification for the presidency. Not in and of itself. "computer literacy" is like a minefield filled with those little shitty VS-50's to huge anti-tank mines. I think it is to the point where it is almost as important as knowing how to read and write. We are not quite there yet, as 25%
