  1. They stick their fingers in their ears and pretend the facts are on their side.

  2. I'm really starting to wonder if you are just a second account for cold fjord. You are certainly the same type of bootlicking coward.

  3. Nope. Yuppies are almost universally against gun ownership.

  4. Particularly the remote kill switches.

  5. Precisely.

  6. From the way our police act we need their guns to have a voice activated safety that does not release the safety for at least 30 seconds after the cop says "stop or I'll shoot".

  7. I'll concede that.

  8. I fully agree. The government has no right to tell me what I have to do to protect myself. It does have the right to tell manufacturers to include a safety feature such as a seatbelt, but it has no place telling me I have to use it.

    I remember this. They were pushing it in the late 90's for all the elementary school kids. This was happening here in WV, the state that only has one lab for fingerprint processing, doesn't have one for DNA, and has something along the lines of 10 to 20 year backlog at that one lab. The only time fingerprints are even collected is in the case of murder coupled with the victim being very rich.

    You are confusing sales figures with profit figures.
    The profit margin on a car is only a few percent where the profit margin on royalties and licensing is almost 100%

  13. There is a reason we have so many detective shows these days, and it isn't because they are popular. Those shows are a psyop designed to make people believe that our current forensic techniques work several orders of magnitude better than they actually do.

    Handwriting analysis, voice analysis, hair analysis, bite mark analysis, lie detector tests, and many more are no more accurate than a blind guess between 1000 suspects.
    While they are much more accurate than these, fingerprints and DNA analysis are claimed to be much more accurate than they really are too. It is possible to have an absolute identification with them, but the tests required are extremely expensive and not used in law enforcement ever. The DNA tests used only look at a very small portion of DNA and the fingerprint tests only look at 5-9 points in the fingerprint when matching.

    Our "justice" system relies on the false belief in these forensic tests that these shows give people. They should be prefaced with a disclaimer saying "Forensic techniques used in this program are greatly exaggerated or outright fictional and bear no resemblance to reality."

  14. Then Dyson comes along and uninvents the disposable bag, and people lap it up, Dyson becomes a folk hero. WTF?

    There is no shortage of complete idiots. They are the majority in the first place and they breed at a much higher rate.

  15. Handwriting analysts claim that they can find the true writer from even a deliberately uncooperative sample provider.

    And they are lying.

    You are absolutely right. The mere accusation will ruin your life, even if it is proven that the accusation was false.

    And don't forget to mention that police lie constantly. Believing anything said by a police officer is complete folly.

    We are making a huge deal out of North Korea doing test shots of missiles. How many have they done in the past year, 10 maybe 15?
