Hey, make sure you fix the title. Nominate is misspelled as "Nominat". This makes it impossible to correctly get to the article from the main page. I had to get here by fixing the typo in my browser address bar.

As for the article and the topic, I feel that they are unrelated. Being a good or bad WoW player has nothing to do with ones abilities to be a politician. One may do whatever hobbies one chooses. Perhaps the social interaction and tactical thinking would help in some respects, such as communications and interaction with the public, or making negotiations with other politicians. But again, WoW isn't quite a "training ground" for these sorts of things. Though I don't doubt that any social experience is at least some experience.

MMOs FTW.

Probably goes without saying here, but I think the best thing about having a WoW-playing politician is not that WoW teaches tactics or communication skills to make a person a better bureaucrat. It's that there is one more politician who understands games well enough to appreciate them properly as a medium for expression.

It's certainly not the most demanding game out there, but to get any enjoyment out of WoW at all you need to understand the premise and context of fantasy battle and interactive narrative, which makes you far, far less likely to fall for the"hurry and save our kids from these evil brainwashing videogame contraptions before it's too late" arguments made by anti-game activists.

But does being an effective legislator make you better at WoW?

Sweet, we need more diversity in our State house in CT, Republican Gov + Democrat house/senate =  fiscal irresponsibility

I wonder if this means there will be a Connecticut tax on WoW gold?

That reminds me of another article that GP looked at on how WoW Leadership might closely model a "coming wave in leadership styles"

She's a Republican so you KNOW she rolls Ally. She probably has a Human Paladin and belongs to a guild that occupies Orgrimmar and talks about how it's "hard work" but they're "makin' progress" in spite of the fact that guild members are constantly taken out by traps laid by Tauren Shaman.

Huh -- Joe Lieberman's state.  Go figure.

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area.  If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?

But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself.  Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.  Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story.  Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age.  The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself.  Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head.  Not gonna happen.  Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.

The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status).  In  a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent.  The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me.  Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time.  It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?
