Hope someone didn't beat me to it.

Now while I agree with taxing someone who sold their account, or sold gold for real money, I dont get how it is even feasibly possible to tax someone for something they will never ever physically own.

Then again I might have missread the article, which if that is the case feel free to make me feel like a dumbass.

I think they should be taxed. If i have to pay a sin tax on cigs they should have to pay a tax on not being a productive member of society because they are always on their ass playing some game.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
