He hasn't made it to college. So I'm assuming he's not 18. He believes he can patent a board game, which is a very childish thought. I'm gonna go with 14 years old. I can ask him myself and find out.

Lets get this man a camera, so he can build his board game from scratch and take pics of it. To cut down on travel costs, just put the pics on the internet like craigslist or something asking for business men to invest in the idea. No, it'll never work.

You act like people in his position have never experienced success before. If his idea's good enough, somebody might want to make some money off of it. I say there's no harm in trying, and if he does an hour or two of solid Google research, he'll probably know everything he needs to know.

It isn't that high. All you need to do is go into design school. Anyone who's ever designed a game as graduated from a design or arts school.

I'm sorry for the name calling, that was immature of me. I guess that's where you and I differ. I believe something can always be improved about yourself, whether it's minor or major. And if you want you can settle down and be at peace with yourself, but if you want to climb the ladder in life you have to keep improving yourself. And sometimes that means adapting to society.

Just because you're being "yourself" doesn't mean you can't strive to be what you want to be. You wants, goals, and desires shape you just as your current form, beliefs, and actions.

You need to already be a professional to do these types of things. You'd have to go into some sort of design/art school before anyone would consider your board game idea.

If the barrier to entry was that high, nobody would make games.

It doesn't matter who you are. If you can pitch your idea to someone and get them interested in 30 - 60 seconds, you've got a chance. You just have to find the right someone (conventions are a decent place to look).

I *am* going to school for this shit. All the business stuff I've gone over so far are common sense to say the least. It's the legal shit that you really have to worry about.

Faggot OP blocked me lol, he is butthurt.

You are correct about the Prohibition. I was thinking about the 19th Amendment.

WHICH DENIED WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE
User avatar #8 to #7 - Zarke (02/12/2013) [-]
I'll disagree with that amendment and point that back to the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

As far as I can see, something denying women a political voice (part of Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness) shouldn't be in there anyways, and I'm glad that society has progressed past that point.

Whether or not you're a sane human being, that gun can easily go into the wrong hands
User avatar #12 to #11 - Zarke (02/12/2013) [-]
Any gun can go into the wrong hands. Not just "so-called" ARs (which in reality is a scare-term used to describe semi-automatic rifles with scary-looking furniture). Remember that Virginia Tech massacre? Committed with handguns (using 17 10-round magazines at that). Columbine? Shotguns/handguns.

There are millions of these "assault rifles" in the U.S. The vast, vast, VAST majority of which are not used in crime and likely never will be.
User avatar #13 to #12 - vanoreo (02/12/2013) [-]
I for one think we should just get rid of guns all together sometimes...

But that would be incredibly hard, impractical, and guntoting rednecks would get mad.
User avatar #14 to #13 - Zarke (02/12/2013) [-]
Well, that's pretty well impossible and would likely do no good. You'd have to extract everybody from the country, overturn all the soil, search every nook and cranny, and force everybody to walk back in one at a time through metal detectors.

Secondly, not just rednecks. When there's almost a gun for every person in the U.S., you can't generalize such a large number of people as "gun-toting rednecks". People from all walks of life collect, shoot, protect themselves with, hunt with, and compete with firearms. I mean, what about recreational shooters? We aren't harming anybody, and you're arbitrarily robbing us of our hobby because you don't like guns. That goes right against our rights to Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
