Come on. I was referring to guns being safely integrated into society as a whole...I wasn't talking about people that act regardless of the law or its enforcement. At least fill in the lines a LITTLE bit.
Your original response was to Ismellpoop, not to me...but because of how the responses were stacked, it looked like you were responding to me, which is why I responded to you.
I didn't want to have to say this, because it's far more childish than the conversation I'm having with you: Ismellpoop brought up spelling first...not me. I was simply responding to him/her.
Perhaps you should make sure you're responding to the right person next time?
It is also worth noting that Ismellpoop cited the FDA and OSHA in his/her reasons for not giving vaccines to his/her kids, in addition to citing the WHIMIS [slashdot.org], which is Canadian.
Even if he/she is from Canada, I have still never seen "bred" spelled "bread".

I am fully aware of the differences in spelling between "American English" and English elsewhere in the world. That being said, I have never seen "bred", the past tense of breed, spelled as "bread". If you have, please show me, as that would be a first!
Admittedly, I don't have hard numbers, and for that I my OP should be modded down. However, it's undeniable that as our population growth has increased, so has the number of autism cases.
As others have pointed out, it's entirely possible that the actual number of cases remains proportionately the same, it's just the rate of diagnosis that has increased...the same could be said of the explosion of ADHD in the 90's.
"Pojut" is plural..."Poju" is singular. It's a nickname I got in high school from a friend who said my wide-spread interests (ranging from hiking to cars to gaming to computers to writing to music) made it seem like I was more than one person.
The earlier point was made that there's more mercury in a can of tuna than there used to be in a vaccine. You do realize that anything you eat eventually makes its way into your bloodstream...right?
Can you name any other operating system that works on both x86 and ARM procs out of the box, with no modification or intervention necessary on the user end?
This means absolutely nothing now, given what mobile hardware looks like today. In the 2-3 years when Windows 8 is actually released, though? Whoa. So long as the execution is done reasonably well, and unless Apple is hiding something from us, this could very well change the entire face of the mobile market.
I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention in the "mainstream" press, considering how easily the news could be dumbed down to be understandable by the average Jill and Joe.
This is why I'm pretty much done with MMOs. I played MUDs back in the day, and have played "modern" MMOs ranging from Meridian 59 and Ultima Online all the way through WoW. The last time I logged in to an MMO was back in 2006. I'm completely, totally done with the idea of it. Yes, the sense of community is awesome, but I'd much rather just take part in multiple weekly tabletop/pen and paper games for that kind of team work. Not even The Old Republic can reignite my interest in MMOs...and I play in a Star Wars pen and paper RPG game every Saturday night:p
Marco: "Commissar. I have rehabilitated another group of the party's enemies." Murphy: "Ha haaaa! Yeah! What does rehabilitated mean again?" Marco: "Beaten the asses of." Murphy: "I LOVE new-speak!".... Murphy: "Now, if you'll excuse me, we need to rehabilitate Phil...in the face."
OK, but again unless you're talking about Android 2.3 where a bunch of new gaming APIs were introduced, the hardware Android is running on has a much bigger impact on gaming performance than firmware number...
So, should we be excluding the low-end Android feature phones when comparing against iPhone market share? It would certainly be a fairer comparison.
Personally, I agree with that, but then of course you run into the problem of what a "low-end" Android phone is, sort of like trying to define "reasonable" in legislation.
Another problem I didn't touch on was the Android OS version. A friend bought a good Android phone late 2009, but its carrier-provided firmware was already a generation behind. They finally provided an update last month--to Android v2.1, released over a year ago by that time. And now Android's at v2.3. His phone is last year's news, they're probably not going to bother releasing another major update for it. In theory he could roll his own or install an unofficial one, but anyone doing that falls outside the realm of a regular user
See, that's the whole point though: things like that are part of what makes Android so worth getting into. Granted, official carrier updates can be a bit of a problem, but that's why I'm running NonSensikal (aka Froyo-based rom) on my Droid Eris (which doesn't have anything newer than the 2.1 stock version.) It runs better than the carrier provided version!
That's the beauty of an Android phone: the software or OS version it comes with is completely irrelevant. The only thing that really matters is the hardware.

I know, right? It's mostly the same. Further proof that both extremes are just as crazy.
Whoa there. Guns are fine, so long as the control laws we actually have are enforced and people are educated about gun safety.
Check out the comments on there.
From the angle that link covers, it does make sense. However, that link covers substitution, whereas I was referring to misdiagnosis/over-diagnosis.
Definitely different than a substitution of one diagnoses for another.
Whoa. Woah woah woah. HUGE misunderstanding.

I point you to my other posted response.

Seriously?
Yes I eat bread (learn to spell).
Bred is the past tense of breed, genius.
You truly are a boy like your name says.
"Pojut" is plural..."Poju" is singular. It's a nickname I got in high school from a friend who said my wide-spread interests (ranging from hiking to cars to gaming to computers to writing to music) made it seem like I was more than one person.
Any of them ever eat any fish, such as tuna?
My kids don't inject tuna into their bloodstream.
The earlier point was made that there's more mercury in a can of tuna than there used to be in a vaccine. You do realize that anything you eat eventually makes its way into your bloodstream...right?
You actually bred???? Sheesh.
DING DING DING!
From another post I made in this same discussion:
People do realize the number of increased cases of autism has proportionally risen to the acceleration of our population growth...right?
Your /. name is Ismellpoop, you didn't vaccinate your kids, and you tried explaining this foolishness. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
People do realize the number of increased cases of autism has proportionally risen to the acceleration of our population growth...right?
Generally, when the numbers are bigger...
And I'll form the head! Even though I started a sentence with the word "and"!
Last one to market?
