|General Education Program Goals
|Program Philosophy
|General Education: The Human Community is the core academic program of James Madison University. It is required of all students regardless of their major or professional program. JMU's general education program seeks to educate students in ways that have been fundamental to higher education and to thinking people for centuries. The philosophy of the program promotes the cultivation of habits of the mind and heart that are essential to informed citizens in a democracy and global community. The program is committed to helping students develop their ability to reason and make ethical choices; to appreciate beauty and understand the natural and social worlds they live in; and to recognize the importance of the past and work toward a better future. By providing a strong foundation of knowledge, skills and experiences expected of all educated people, The Human Community prepares students to become flexible thinkers and life-long learners. This core of knowledge, skills and experiences transcends every major and professional program and is essential for successful and rewarding careers and lives. The program encourages students to become active in their own education and deliberate in making good choices for themselves and in connection with others. In a rapidly changing world, it is increasingly important that students learn how to create knowledge out of the vast amounts of available information and place that knowledge in its appropriate contexts. The role of general education is to introduce these concepts, so students understand that knowledge seldom develops in isolation, but rather within larger interactive, often competing contexts. As students study intensively in their chosen field, they also take The Human Community courses in which they can come to understand how distinct disciplines look at the world from different vantage points, using different methodologies, different tools and different kinds of answers, reasons or evidence. Thus, the General Education Program and the major or professional program complement and complete each other; together they are integral and essential components of a student's full and proper education.
|Mission Statement
|The mission of The Human Community is four-fold:
|Structure: Course Work in Each of Five Clusters
The Human Community provides fundamental knowledge and skills across the breadth of traditional disciplines so that students learn how to do the following:
|General Education Programs Goals
|Students acquire knowledge of past and present achievements of our own and other cultures in the arts, letters and sciences; of the impact of people, institutions and communities involved in the creation, preservation and transmission of culture and of the distinctions and interconnections among disciplines. This includes knowledge of the following:
|Students learn the skills of perception, research and investigation; the critical analyses needed to cope with problems and find solutions and the written, oral and electronic communication skills requisite to shaping ideas and transmitting them persuasively. These skills include the following abilities:
|Students will actively engage in reflection about aesthetic and ethical concerns and the diversity of human values through experiences that transcend the limits of specialization. This is evident when students:

Judge Cynthia Brim | Brian Jackson~Sun-Times
Updated: December 12, 2012 6:35AM
The Nov. 9 editorial, "Time to give the boot to bad judges," is right on.
For decades, I've called for a switch from electing judges to merit retention. The problem is obvious when 20 years have passed without a single judge losing retention.
The examples of bad judges keeping their jobs should motivate legislators in Springfield to act.
But just in case they need additional evidence, know this: The Cook County ballot is one of the longest in the country due to judicial contests. Long ballots lead to long lines for voting and discourage participation. Plus, some suburban voters on Tuesday thought referenda were missing from their ballots because they skipped judicial races — an all too common occurrence — and unfortunately overlooked voting on a local issue.
Let's do what's right and change the system for retaining judges.
David Orr,
Cook County clerk
Women fight back

Don't pull a Greece
Greece is bracing for a second round of austerity cuts, aimed at the working people and those on pensions and government aid. Once again, the wealthy will escape unscathed as they pay no taxes and hide their riches in foreign banks. The United States must not follow Greece down this austerity road, where "austerity" applies only to the un-wealthy. The top 1 percent must pay their fair share of taxes to support our nation's infrastructure, education and other services that have benefitted them.
We must not take funds from Americans' earned benefits of Social Security and Medicare to balance the budget.
Those who shower after work should not pay a higher tax rate than those who collect dividends while sitting around their pools sipping an umbrella drink.
We should all contribute according to our ability to maintain our social services, infrastructure and democratic institutions.
Karen Wagner, Rolling Meadows

A huge thank you to
Antonio Carusone for featuring my online portfolio on TheGridSystem.org last week.
Since October I have been trying to think of a way to create a conceptual approach to a simple desktop design. Here is a little feedback I received when I asked my Flickr contacts:
Here are just some of the many responses:
Ben Kimball: not a graphic designer, but as photographer/cartographer:
Self-Deprecating Humor
Failures I Learned From
Failures I Learned Nothing From
Intentionally Streaking Things
The Delightfully Odd
Mark Blyth: Neat idea!
Stuff that really needs doing
Stuff that I can procrastinate about
Stuff that'll never need doing
Christine: Mine would be:
Black and white
To Repair
No work needed.
So as you can see it was very varied.
With the combination of TheGridSystem's inspiring website and the urgent need of being more organised when it comes to my desktop; I decided what better way than to incorporate my websites Six Grid System into something I could use to get my files more organised and something I could share with other creatives.
Here is the end result using titles which are changeable for each individual user:
So now instead of having one file on my desktop saying the proverbial 'Sort!' I will now be able to place my files on my desktop in accordance to type and subject.

Hello, we're in a good routine in Delhi building up to the Commonwealth Games Sevens. We got up for a good pool session before breakfast, a power session in the gym, some rest and then a session on the field with the Canadian side followed by analysis after dinner.
We played a game in the pool called Marco Polo, it's a bit like hide-and-seek in the water, if that makes sense. Basically it's a listening game – if you're in you close your eyes and say 'Marco' and everyone else says 'Polo' and via their voices he has to try and catch someone. Simple pleasures.
Canada were the opposition in our training game today and provided us with our first semi-contact hit-out. We haven't played much and it was good to put into practice what we've been training so hard for.
They're games that aren't 100 per cent realistic but you get a lot out of and learn a lot from. It wasn't perfect but it's next week that we need to peak and the boys are in good spirits and we're still learning.
Canada caused us a few problems, they made it difficult and they've learned immensely over the last four or five seasons. They're starting to get the bits and pieces together that you need to be a good side.
They one of many countries who are going to benefit hugely from where Sevens is going through inclusion in the Olympic programme. They're only going to get better and better which will raise the level of the game, which is what we want.
All in all, it's been a long day, a good day, and we'll have more of the same tomorrow.

Last week I described the role an advanced scout would take in preparing for the Finals match-up. Here's Part I of an abridged version of what those scouts might have found.
Offensive Scheme/Philosophy
The Mavericks are one of the most efficient offensive teams in the league and it's based off a few simple principles. They not only space the floor perfectly, but the majority of the players know exactly what their role is. The scheme obviously all centers around superstar Dirk Nowitzki, but Rick Carlisle and his staff should get credit for consistently putting their players in positions to be successful.
Before arriving in Dallas, Carlisle had the reputation as a set-heavy coach. He's scaled that back quite a bit with the Mavs. Carlisle looks to control the flow early most games with a few sets involving his grinders, typically defensive specialist DeShawn Stevenson.
This certainly isn't the best use of personnel; but it still is a great piece of coaching. Calling sets for a player like Stevenson or Tyson Chandler early helps keep them more engaged on the defensive end of the floor. It's not that these players need the touches or they won't compete on defense, but most players tend to be more focused when contributing on both ends of the floor. So whether it's an on or off ball screen, Stevenson usually gets a touch or two within the first three possessions.
Beyond the opening moments, Carlisle's set calling comes in standard settings (after timeouts or dead ball situations) or when Dirk is out of the game. The rest of the time Dallas generally plays out of a relatively simple 3 out, 2 in motion-style offense that relies heavily on ball screen action, spacing, and keeping the floor spread for Nowitzki isolations.
The Mavericks will enter their possessions at times with a guard curling around and screening for a post. Here is an example of it being used as a motion entry:
Most of the time the Dallas possession will start with a ball screen entry. Typically, Dirk will screen for a ball handler and look to roll, pop, or slide to a preferred spot on the floor (normally the pinch post or the mid-block extended) and the rest of his teammates react accordingly.
Every perimeter player is asked to execute ball screens, but most are run by the two Jason's (Kidd and Terry) and everyone's favorite Puerto Rican, J.J. Barea. Kidd and Barea have extremely different ways of operating coming off the pick and roll. Kidd rarely takes more than two or three dribbles before making a quick pass in order to take advantage of a scrambling defense. He is the ideal set up man for Dirk because his decisiveness, unselfishness, and size all allow for him to get the ball back to Nowitzki quickly after the screen while his defender is still recovering from the hedge and the big German has the advantage.
Barea, meanwhile, is quite the showman. He will flirt with the screen for multiple dribbles while the screener (normally Nowitzki) gets positions himself for a good screening angle. Once it's set, Barea's job is to penetrate the heart of the defense looking to score or create catch-and-shoot opportunities for the shooters spread around him.
Shawn Marion, Stevenson, and Peja Stojakovic are not very threatening ball-screen players but consistently look to score when they are involved. Terry is of the same mindset, but he is a much more explosive player and is particularly dangerous coming off ball screens going right. The Mavericks take advantage of his strong, right hand drives a handful of times per game with this set/concept:
Nowitzki starts off by ball-screening on one side of the floor and sliding to the baseline for his preferred positioning in the mid-post extended. Because Dirk is so dangerous and his defender is involved in the hedge, X5 is forced to either completely rotate over or at the very least, position himself halfway. The ball handler (either Kidd or Barea) will look to immediately swing to the Terry who immediately receives a step up screen from the Chandler. With X5 completely out of position to hedge, Terry usually has no one impeding a drive toward the basket with his strong hand.
Post-up opportunities are few and far between in the Dallas offense unless you're a 7-foot German. Occasionally, Shawn Marion will get the opportunity to post via a set play or mismatch and Jason Kidd as made a few cameos down there this post-season as well, but outside of that, it's non-existent.
The two centers, Brandon Haywood and Tyson Chandler are asked to work the baseline area for lobs, drop passes, as offensive rebound opportunities. Chandler takes a on a much larger role as a screener, his ability to screen or slip than race to the rim puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the opposing defense. Hayward will act as a screener as well, though it's typically when a second ball is required in a given possession.
Shawn Marion, mainly known for his versatility on the defensive end of the floor, is also asked to take on two totally different roles in the Dallas offense. During the times when he is at the small forward position, Marion is fills one of the three perimeter spots in their base motion.
While the rest of the perimeter players are mainly asked to spot up outside the three point line, Marion's unorthodox shot make this less than ideal for him. Instead, he looks to use his skills a cutter to make plays going toward the rim, particularly when the defense is focused on Nowitzki in an isolation situation as shown here:
When Dirk is out of the game, Marion mans the 4-spot for the Mavs and assumes the duties asked of both Chandler and Haywood. Outside of the rare times Terry screens for Dirk, he is the only Maverick used both as a ball handler and a screener in pick and roll situations.
While the Mavs aren't running and gunning with reckless abandon, they do run selectively off blocks, steals, and even on makes. Carlisle also gives Kidd, one of the smartest players in the league, the ability to push when he feels he can create an advantage.
Dallas' selectiveness with their transition game is based off their need to avoid the type of bad shots that lead to run outs against them. Due to an older and relatively un-athletic roster, Dallas has problems with athletic teams than can convert quickly from defense to offense and by focusing on good shot selection, Dallas can mitigate that problem.

Many small businesses choose to differentiate themselves on the basis of their service. I get it and it is a worthwhile ambition.
Where it falls apart is in the communication and the execution of this vision.
John DiJulius in his book What's the Secret gives us a formular to follow to create a service that is markertable as your point of difference.
1. Step one Service Vision – Define a clear purpose for why your business exists? It is analysing how your vision will make a positive impact on your staff and clients. I see many that have the slogans, "we treat you better," "you deserve the best" but those words are not consistently acted upon along the customer experience. The vision should be inspirational and it should relate to your brand promise, otherwise as DiJulius explains " it may as well be a fuzzy bumper sticker with no meaning". Once you have your vision, you need it to come to life. Link it to your story, brand it in messaging daily and present awards and recognition to encourage it. When I have been involved with CEO where we put some real energy, research customer insights into developing a meaningful vision and effectively communicated it, whole company got behind it and it definitely has been a point of difference in the customer experience felt by customers. This focused goal to deliver the components of service that are important for your customer is a daily responsibility of everyone in the business and it is so critical that they understand the part they play. As to are the systems that support that customer service experience and make it consistent every time.
• Creating a World Class Internal Culture – Attract, hire, and retain only the people who have genuine Service DNA
• Non-negotiable Experiential Standards – Create benchmarks your people absolutely must meet during every customer contact
• Secret Service Systems – Utlilise Customer Intelligence to personalise service and anticipate customer needs – Ways to profile buyers and share critical data across your organisation
• Training to Provide a World-Class Customer Experience
– Systems and processes that eliminate variation and
provide a consistent customer experience • Implementation and Execution – How to go from ideas
on paper to flawless real-time follow through • Zero Risk – Anticipate service defects and put action
plans in place to correct mistakes immediately – Eliminate the sticking points that may keep customers from doing business with you
• Building an 'Above and Beyond' Culture – Inspire frontline service heroism every day – Create awareness and buy-in for service excellence in every member of your team – Make the World-Class Customer Experience integral to your brand
• Measuring Your Customer Experience – Identify and track the metrics that matter to your customers (and focus your efforts accurately to improve your performance)
• World-Class Service Leadership – Walking the Talk – provide superior service internally, in your community and at home.
My new business Strategic Service Design is focused on the action of converting expectations of your customer into actions. It is bringing back or humanising our services so that they can be tangible and felt.

|Lady Gaga
The group received a surprisingly negative reaction when they collected the gong for 'Song of the Summer' - for their hit single 'Best Song Ever' - and while they took it in their stride, they still had the support of the 'Applause' singer.
Seen backstage after the boy band accepted their award, Gaga was heard saying: "Don't you dare let those people boo you. If I did hear what I heard out there, I just want to tell you that you deserve every bit of success that you have.
"I want to leave right now. I don't want to stay anymore because I don't want to be in a room where people are booing."
Liam Payne took to his Twitter account earlier on Monday and thanked the star for her kind words.
He wrote: "Morning everyone what a night yesterday was would like to thank @ladygaga for her support yesterday and her extraordinary outfits."
Earlier in the night, Taylor Swift was seemingly caught on camera turning to Selena Gomez and telling ex-boyfriend Harry Styles to "shut the f**k up" while his was on stage with his band mates to present the award for Best Pop Video.

I relapsed 3 times am still continuing to fight it at the age of 20! For those of you put there in the same boat, just stay strong and continue to fight with your head held high. It may sound easier said than done, but it\'s the only way to kick cancer\'s A**! Positivity is key. If anyone wants a friend to talk to or have any question my email is email@example.com!

September 11th, 2012 was probably the scariest day of m my entire life. It was the day i was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer found in kids. Although it hasnt been that long, i feel like i\'ve been dealing with it forever. I had to undergo chemo, radiation AND surgery. Chemo for me wasnt even the worst part. The surgery was. I finally finished chemo and had my surgery January 3rd of 2013.They had to take a huge piece of my femur(thigh) bone out and i now have metal and a 10 inch scar.I\'m doing a lot better with getting around. No more wheel chair.Just crutches. I shopuld be getting my port out soon. And when i thought i was done, i fell yesterday on my leg and i am back in the hospital because of pain management. Its a never ending rollercoaster and i wanna get off.
Germ cell, my story so far.

Hi, my name's Ellie and I'm 19 years old. I was in the middle of my first year at university and was having water infections and unexplained fatigue, days where I literally stopped being able to do anything from exhaustion. After about 3 times of being precribed antibiotics for the infections, I decided to push for more explanation to why I was getting ill all the time. A GP found a lump in my abdomen and suspected it to be a dermoid cyst, but on the 23/03/11 an MRI revealed that I had a 14x11x10cm germ cell tumour on my left ovary. A CT scan and biopsy showed that I also had a smaller tumour on my right ovary (approx 4cm) and that the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes. Germ cell is a rare cancer affecting mostly younger women, only 1% of ovarian cancers are the same as mine.
I suspended my studies (hope to start my first year of uni again next year) and moved out of student halls where I had lived whilst at uni, to come and live at home with my parents while I undergo chemotherapy. I'm 2 courses into a projected 4 x BEP 5 day regieme. It's definitely tough, I'm getting all the usual side effects including tinnitus, nausea, aches in my lymph nodes, neuropathy in my legs, hairloss, mouth ulcers and "chemo-brain". I'm also experiencing the menopause complete with hot flushes because my ovaries have been "put to sleep" with the hope that I will recover fertility after treatment. There haven't been any serious hiccups in the treatment so far. There's currently a little concern about my lung function and possible damage by bleomycin (I got a cough 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't shifted), and I had a low white count on a check up in my first round so I had a 5 day course of blood boosters, which gave me quite a lot of pain in my legs and lower back. In the second round when I was in hospital recieving chemo, they spotted I get a very low heart rate at night (about 40bpm) and this is also being checked out.
Even though this whole experience has completely upturned my life I remain positive. One thing I did before I went for my first round of chemo is raise some money for Cancer Research UK and awareness for germ cell and ovarian cancers by cutting my hair into a mohawk! http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljn91zSu9R1qg643uo1_500.jpg I came to this website to try and meet other people in my situation and have people to talk to who can really relate to all this. I'm always up for a chat!

Hello everyone!
I am a Ewing's Sarcoma survivor (4 years) and a graphic design student at Michigan State University. I was diagnosed at 18 years old and underwent treatment for a year thereafter. I am creating a book about cancer titled, "What I Learned From Chemo", and was hoping to gather more tips, advice or witty anecdotes. I want the book to be upbeat, positive and most of all young. I thought this would be the perfect place to find unique insights into living with cancer as a young person. So if you have any helpful info or tips I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks and good luck with your battle.
Peace, Love and Cancer. Sarah <3

9 Rules Every Good Diet Follows
Whether youre cutting carbs or counting points, keep these healthy principles in mind.
By Jane Bianchi
If you dont, youre likely to overeat not-as-good-for-you things like refined carbs, resulting in weight gain and poor nutrition, says registered dietitian Joan Salge Blake. Thats why most diets encourage filling half your plate with veggies at every meal. Besides being low in sugar and fat and high in vitamins and minerals, theyre packed with fiber to keep you full. For a creamy side dish, try a cauliflower mash with garlic and Parmesan cheese in lieu of mashed potatoes. If you like spicy food with Indian-style flavors, mix green onion, corn, and red pepper with quinoa and cumin. Or make lunch a roasted tomato and wild mushroom soup.

Best. Lesbian. Halloween. Ever.
Long before she was introduced to Ellen DeGeneres and/or the notion of tweezed eyebrows, the lovely Portia de Rossi made an appearance as a sorority sister in Scream 2 (1997).
Unfortunately, Scream 2 is one of those horror films where the sorority sisters don't engage in topless pillow fights. What's up with that? I thought that's why girls pledged sororities in the first place!
Out actress Jessica Graham (2 Minutes Later) has also taken on the genre in Devil Girl, an indie horror flick picking up a lot of buzz on the festival circuit; I took in a screening not so long ago at Shriekfest, in fact. Graham plays Fay, a muscle car-drivin' woman who gets stranded in the middle of nowhere when said car breaks down and a psychotic clown steals her wallet. She takes a dancing gig at a local strip club to earn some dough, and eventually she has sex with the mysterious (and titular) devil girl who shows up from time to time.
I'm not drunk — that's really what happens in the movie. Check out Devil Girl when you can; it's sure to be released any minute now, and both the film and Graham have style to burn.
OK … you know I have to bring up BloodRayne (2005), right? Now, don't let the words "Uwe" and "Boll" fool you — BloodRayne doesn't even rank in IMDb.com's Bottom 100. That's right: It's better than that. Don't get me wrong, it's … not good. But is it the perfect movie to play during your leztastic Halloween party? Of course it is!
First of all, it's written by out screenwriter/actress/director/producer Guinevere Turner. Secondly, if the film is simply background noise, then you only need to pay attention when Rayne (openly bisexual actress Kristanna Loken) and Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez) engage in their underwater knife fight (yes, I said "underwater knife fight"), or perhaps when Rayne finally gets her bite on and goes after Katarin. Surely we've all had worse dates than that, yes?

WikiReader feeds you factiness on the go
OpenMoko's Project B: WikiReader, a hardware implementation of Wikipedia offering mobile users access to the font of all knowledge, goes on sale today. Openmoko promised the new hardware when the company admitted it couldn't afford to develop a new handset, the GTA03. We had no idea what the mysterious "Project B" would be, but …
So... it's a monochrome battery-powered unreliable user-generated encyclopedia for $99? Phew, just what the market's been crying out for!
Mine's the one with the crossword solver in the pocket
This is just the sort of thing that is bound to turn up in those Innovations-style catalogues that fill up your recycle bin in the run-up to Christmas. Someone must buy that stuff.
do not want
I have been trying pretty hard to find a reason to own one. Is it perhaps for those without any net access?
I assume in such an environment you are less likely to see reference to such a gizmo and are therefore highly unlikely to know you have a need for it.
Imagine the scene, if you will....
So there was this meeting, right, and the guy from marketing, you know, the one with all the sell options on Openmoko stock, did this presentation. Well, you wouldn't believe what he persuaded the board to do....
Beer, because the people who green-lit the WikiReader sure must have imbibed a few.
Don't most people have this already?
We are constantly being told that more and more people all over the world have internet access on their phones -- and a trip to the local pub on quiz night reveals that at least some are being used to access Wikipedia. Who the hell is this product aimed at?
Couldn't they make a square one? Or for that matter, one that doesn't look like something from 1973?
I'm pretty sure I'll pass on this...
I predict these will be seen for £39.99 in TK-Maxx before the end of next year.
It only took a few months for someone to develop my idea for making The Guide a reality (not trying to claim any rights to the original masterpiece)
Just a shame that many (many) phones these days have access to the full version of wikipedia as well as other sources of information (both more dubious and more reliable)
Important Question!
Does it have "Don't Panic" inscribed in large, friendly letters on the cover?
I don't get it
Why pay $99 when most mobiles have a built in web browser which can search the internet for what you want? Looks more like a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
How the hell am I supposed to vandalise Wikipedia with no keyboard?
Further, how am I supposed to correct vandalism of my vandalism? Although I must say that I tickled by the idea of all those pages upon full of inexactitude floating around the streets without any updates...
Why pay 99?
That's 99 for the display unit - the information is free for the taking.
WikiTaxi, a download of the current wikipedia database and an (micro)SD card, and bingo, you've got it on your smartphone for nowt. Or your PDA for that matter.
I feel sad about the company
It looks like they're desperate
What a pointless pile of poo...
Whoever thought this was a good idea was clearly a muppet... (who has never seen a web enabled phone).. Must be April already...
Offline Wikipedia in a handheld. Well it's an interesting idea at least. I doubt it will be a big hit, but for those who do buy it, the main appeal must be the gee-wiz factor. I suspect it had never occurred most people that such a thing was possible. Still, if I was going to be spending a long time where internet was truly unavailable (though it's increasing hard to imagine where that might be) it might well be nice to have this.
So pointless it's sublime
I'd definitely pay for it.
$5 from a remainder bin, that is. It's worth it for wackiness value.
A bit late to their own party
I had this setup about 5 years ago on a Sharp Zaurus PDA with a 2GB microdrive, squashfs filesystem, fbreader (I think) and a dump of wikipedia. True it was limited to the first 1000 words of each article and no pictures, but it did the job. At least the Zaurus had a keyboard.
It's a shame that after all that time and with all the progress in the metadata from openzaurus through openembedded to openmoko and angstrom, the openmoko/openembedded/openzaurus people are still developing for developers and end up with the same old end user functionality.

Videogame retailers support Byron Review, says Byron
Psychologist Dr Tanya Byron has told a meeting of videogame publishers that most retailers support the idea of giving the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) a bigger role over game classification. Byron, who last week published her infamous review into the effect of videogames and the internet on children, has proposed …
As a serious gamer
I support it too.
It makes sense that one media format should be put to the same scrutiny as another.
Unlike most of these reports it was not negative about games in general and asks for sensible goals much like Films are subject to.
Xbox 360 System
Bizarrely the Xbox 360 has the idea of child account and yet still lets the quite happily boot an 18 rated game.
Whats wrong with that picture ?
Games are not movies.
They are an art form, expressive.
Cut them to shreds with your draconian old ways please.
However, I do agree that they should be tiered correctly, and 18 certificate game should not be given to a child UNLESS you know that child can comfortably cope with the issues at hand, when I watched porn at 15 I didn't immediately go and rape anyone, neither did I kill someone after watching The Terminator at about 13 years old. I wanted to see it, my mates wanted to see, we all loved it.
If an individual already has issues, they're bound for bad things already, don't blame computers (Or VHS)
Because the BBFC are totally impartial...
...as can be seen from the whole Manhunt 2 farce.
"Oh look, there is a bandwagon in the media about violence, lets jump on it!"
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the BBFC may just be getting a little worried by the amount the games industry is growing and generating and them NOT being involved with it? Give the classification to PEGI, at tleast that way we get the same service as most of Europe (Germany being the odd ones out).
And yes, I am in favour of ratings on games, more in favour of smacking parents with the game boxes until they read them before handing them over to their little darlings to play on though...
Now, off home to go play something gory, featuring drug abuse and drink refernces... Because I can...
o just
---- off.
A while ago I went into HMV to buy Aliens special edition, now i'm 26 and first saw the film when I was like 11, I have warn out 2 videos of the film.
The dumb a--- special ed "female" (I suspect slug may be a better term) ID'd me. It's a ----ing dvd you dumb freak!
Anyway being 26 and not driving I have no ID and after a moment of stunned disbelief and her insisting on seeing ID I told her to go ---- herself. Went home and downloaded the damn film.
Nobody cares about age rating system except a few people who are magical mushroom people.
To be honest...
I thought that was the case now...
Oh well. It is a good idea, if nothing else, it gives shops the right to say "sorry, we cant sell this to you, its the law"
It also puts games on a par with films, rather than toys.
I was in Grainger Games yesterday having a gander and I saw this young kid pick up an old Xbox game, to which his mother immediately took from his hands and said "You're not having that, it's violent" and the kid said "But it's not! It's not!" and the mother retorted "It is, it has the word hit on it, it must be violent"
The game he had in his hand turned out to be 'The Simpsons Hit 'n' Run'.
The fact is, there are plenty of parents that are very naive/ignorant to videogames, and while I'm against perpetuating the stereotype that games are for kids alone, I appreciate that a big "18" slapped on the front of all games as opposed to only the ones that depict violence against real humans will soothe many a whining parents.
Because the world is just getting thicker by the day, I swear.
Re: "Xbox 360 System"
What's wrong with the picture is that you've not configured the account for parental controls correctly. It's not difficult.
"Parental Confusion at the point of sale"
When the game already has a 16/18/whatever sticker on it???
I can't accept that people are so stupid as to be confused by the existing labels. Really, despite all the evidence of stupidity I see around me on a daily, nay, hourly basis, I simply don't believe it.
What I DO believe is that the parents in question simply don't care as long as it shuts up their whining brat, and that this is a way for the gov.uk to look like they're doing something about LatestMediaEvil v15.1.2. Changing the sticker from the existing bloody great "18" to slightly different bloody great "18" that's the same as the ones on DVDs is NOT going to stop lil Jonny getting his mitts on the latest GTA. If his parents ignore the current huge sticker, they will ignore the new one.
As we effectively have 2 systems in place at the moment, reducing that to 1 and making it enforced at point of sale is a sensible move. Just please don't treat us like imbecile children when justifying it.
its the parents, stupid.
What is the point of all this? If parents ignored a PEGI rating, they'll ignore this. The BBFC already rate the most "adult" games and parents ignore that too. Its not the publishers, its not retail (who don't need the bad PR and Trading Standards hassle), its the PARENTS. Bring back the stocks for acts of parental stupidity. The buggers would take a bit of responsibility after a few rotten tomatoes.
Game ratings not taken seriously
A local well known game store had 18 rated games below the 5 foot pr0n level line that most news agents have. Primary school kids were browsing them. The manager wasn't bothered. Yes, I know it's one thing to pick up a CD case & read notes/booklet and another to play, but making a token effort to keep them on the straight and narrow is required IMO.
Ratings are taken seriously - by retailers
Really, no-one who works in retail really wants to be stung by trading standards and/or the old bill by selling a rated product to a minor. It's a criminal record and a fine for the person who sold it, not necessarily the shop at all. At £5.52 an hour, you can produce your ID or bugger off as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if you think it's no big deal, hell, I watched all sorts of stuff when I was younger and it did me no harm, but I'd rather lose the sale than be prosecuted. Bring your mum to buy it if you want it so bad.
age is not the problem
When it comes to gaming, age is NOT the problem and as long as we keep on trying to fool ourselves that it is then society as a whole will continue to suffer.
As long as these 40+ year old PC adults are so entrenched in the fantasy world that they believe someone who once saw 5 minutes of a game or film got turned into a serial killer by the time they were 7 and a half because of it then its no wonder they believe everyone else is living in cloud cuckoo fantasy land, shame they do not realise that they are the ones living there.
Parents are not confused
They deliberately allow their children to have 18 rated games and films because they want to.
From Tanya Byron's comments so far, I can only conclude that this is more about her making a name for herself than actually doing any proper research.
The BBFC refused at first to give Manhunt 2 a certificate, not because it was so violent it was unrateable, but because they believed that children would have the game bought for them by adults (or possibly be able to buy it themselves).
That is not a failure of the ratings system. It's a failure of the distribution system and a failure of the parents.
This seems like nothing more than another land-grab by the BBFC. One wonders if they will soon start lobbying for the right to apply their classifications to books as well.
@ anonymous
"Nobody cares about age rating system except a few people who are magical mushroom people."
That woman obviously cared because it's her job. She didn't make the sodding law. I'd do the very same, I don't want to lose my job just because an individual hasn't bothered to keep identification on them. The amount of customers who give me a "You've just spoken Russian" look when I ask for ID have to realise I'm not picking on them, I'm simply following policy.
Aren't the BBFC past their sell by date yet?
There must be a better solution.
BBFC & Books
(from Fibbles)
"This seems like nothing more than another land-grab by the BBFC. One wonders if they will soon start lobbying for the right to apply their classifications to books as well."
From today, no UK retailer will be able to sell copies of The Bible or The Koran. The BBFC has refused to give age-classifications to either of these best-selling publications, due to "excessive violence, racist and xenophobic overtones, occasions of incest and lack of moral fibre."
The BBFC has stated that, should this material fall into the hands of children or vulnerable people, many could find themselves believing that these stories are real, and attempt to re-enact scenes from these books."
"In certain cases, such as the story of David and Goliath, Samson, Cain and Abel or the Fall of Jericho, this could have disastrous results including physical injury, damage to property, and potentially, death" a spokesman said yesterday.
IT tech forums, normally hotbeds of dissent regards the BBFC expanding their powers, were notably silent about the move. One frequent contributor to 'The Register' was seen to write "Wise up to the Future being Different from the Past. Do something Original that doesn't criminalise Society and set them against Public Servants. You know IT makes Sense.". We don't know why...

I just bought the S2 chestplate, originally for my weekend arena matches. But then I compared it to what I have been using up to now (bold), S2 is better for tanking even if I socket it with DPS gems.
5/5 S2 with the shield has 181 resilience, or 4.6% crit reduction, tons of armor and stamina, unparalleled threat generation; but obviously low avoidance, however that can be compensated with the other slots.
This seems to be the way to go for any guilds at or below ours in progression: Gruul on farm, working on Magtheridon.
