Maybe you don't know anything about logic, but I'll let you in on a secret: It's not up to me to prove the other guy's argument. That's his job. He does that by supplying proofs and evidence.
I am perfectly capable of using Google, you ass. However, it's not my job to make someone's argument for them.
4chan did not create the Candlejack meme. It existed long before 4chan did. Years before I ever saw a 'funny picture' of Candlejack on the internet, my friends and I made the Candlejack joke all the damn time.
See, once upon a time, there was a show called Freakazoid!. It was funny as hell, but its target audience (children) didn't quite understand the humour.
However, some of us still have fond memories of the show, as it's one of those rare gems that gets funnier as you get older -- because you can appreciate more of the humour.
For the love of $DEITY, quick giving 4chan credit it doesn't deserve.
There have been several times in public, generally at the local Mall, where I've witnessed a child in distress. By child I mean someone whose age is still in the single digits. Whether it's they've become lost and can't find their parents, or anything else, the first thing I always do is look around for the nearest mall cop and wave them over.
I am by no means hideous physically. I tend to dress half the time like Doctor House (jeans and a suit jacket, button down shirt) or leather jacket, t-shirt and pajama bottoms.
Even when I'm dressed in a perfectly 'normal' fashion for a non-college campus, clean-shaven, and don't have dyed hair, I don't do jack shit. I am far too worried about being detained and arrested for nothing more than trying to help someone in distress.
Now, if it was a medical emergency, I would be the first one to run over and start giving orders to everyone else around me to get what I need to stabilise the child until Emergency Services could get there. But otherwise, I wouldn't go near.
Well, sir, before you lop off my balls, let me explain that I did type out Romani ite domum a hundred times, but/.'s lameness filter refused to accept the post, even after I added all of the wikipedia article on the Life of Brian. As a Roman Citizen, I demand to plead my case before the Divine Augustus.
Romanes -- Second Declension Nominative Singular with Abstract Ending.
Eunt -- Present Active Indicitive Third Person Plural of the Irregular Verb 'eo,' I go.
Domus -- Either Fourth Declension or the Older Second Declension form of the word. Neither is in the correct case, anyway.
The Correct phrase would be 'Romani Domi Ite!'
Romani -- Second Declension Plural Vocative
Domi -- Second Declension Locative, as Domus does not use the ablative with a preposition (ablative of place to), but instead still retains the locative, which many other words (most) have lost.
Ite -- Present Active Imperative Second Person Plural of 'eo,' I go. (You all) Go.
So, it finally translates (correctly) as 'Oh, You Romans, Go Home!'
Or close enough, anway.
Anyone willing to thank me can help me justify six years of latin.
What's this nonsense? There are no continuations. There are only 3 Dune books, and they are excellent. I disbelieve your foul and cunning illusion of there being others.
Such things would require a prohibitively high number of actual persons playing NPCs, and the amount of coordination between them would make this extremely buggy.
I, for one, welcome our Hymenoptera overlords, and should like to inform them that as one with a knowledge of both Latin and Ancient Greek, I could prove invaluable to them in tracking down the ancient lost nectar mines.
If the sole purpoes of the organisation is for criminal collusion and extortion, and if the organisation is, before the law, a fictional person, then why can't we prosecute the corporation?
I'm not saying I have the answer. I'm just trying to get someone explain to me why one makes more sense than the other. And as to why things mass more than others, I already gave an off the top of my head explanation -- mass is based upon total energy bound up in the matter. This would be why things become more massive as they accelerate.
Am I the only one who sees a problem with the circular logic of saying, "We need some particle to give particles mass -- wait, what gives mass to the particle that gives particles mass?"
Either mass is an intrinsic value of matter, perhaps based off of the total potential energy bound up in the matter, or according to the standard model, mass is imbued to particles by a special particle which imbues them with mass. Whence then comes the original mass?
You're right. They probably won't be able to recoup anything in a civil tort -- because the people they're suing (I can't remember if they're defendants or respondents in a civil matter) will be broke from the cost of defending themselves in court. And by winning a victory in civil court, the possibility of the legislature taking notice of the failure of the criminal law to bring justice in this case might bring specific litigation to deal with this issue to be brought about more quickly.

To nitpick your signature, shouldn't it be that the probability approaches 1?

I'll get right on solving this problem for you!

And what are your proofs to support that claim? Al Gore said so?

Extortion is a crime. Collusion and Conspiracy to Commit Extortion are crimes. This is where the RICO Act being enforced would be appropriate.
