Oh yes, I played it in high school on my TI-83+. That was back when I was a 14-year-old idiot with some pretty screwed up ambitions. I've grown up since then. I'd say I'm a tea-totaller, now - but I don't drink anything with caffeine. By the way, I don't dislike the violence so much as the drug content. Violence happens, and I of the thinking that violence is "human nature." I consider drugs much more distasteful/inappropriate than violence. And maybe I went to far with the "no respect" bit - but I do automatically draw some conclusions about a an adult who plays this sort of game. I can't help it. -- Matthew K Poer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
