Take them away!? That would take them from zero to bloody revolution in under 3 seconds. Just trying to force them to be more responsible with their guns will get them riled up.
There is nothing magical about being in an airplane that makes us better or worse then off an airplane.
I don't know about you, but I'm not usually strapped into a tiny seat 3 inches from the heads of other people while we're all confined in a maybe 100x18ft tin can for many hours at a time.
A friend of mine who lives in NYC told me about a time he was riding a bus (may have been driving it...he worked as a bus driver for a long time) and this woman was talking in detail about her visit to the gynecologist and all the odd discharges she was having...
An old dude on the other side of the bus yells out "DAMN WOMAN, NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS WITH YOUR STANK PUSSY!" and everyone applauded. XD
Being on a plane certainly isn't that bad. Getting onto and off of the plane can suck, especially if you have to deal with the TSA.
You can just watch a movie, sleep, read a book, listen to music, go into the bathroom and fart for 30 seconds straight if the pressure difference gets to your bowels...not that bad.
The cargo hold is pressurized, but not climate-controlled. The only safe path to the outside world that can be used in flight is the sewage dump system, and the entry to it is only so big...
I'll actually second this, this is a situation where we can let the market decide. Most airlines will ban phone calls after the first few air rage killings and then a few niche airlines will allow calls on which all the annoying cell phone yammerers can fly at a higher price, forcing them to lose more money for their annoying tendency. Everybody wins!
But how would their diversion campaign get any airtime over Miley Cyrus' twerking and other attention whoring, the various Obamacare debacles and debates over the treatment of chimps and whales (while people are being slaughtered in Syria and various African hellholes?)
(first day of his prison sentence...I shouldn't suggest that he didn't spend ages in solitary confinement w/ suicide watch protocol while waiting for his trial)
Don't forget the black and white picture and the 20Hz tone (lowsy attempt to instill fear via infrasound) when showing how horrible the alternatives to the product are.
That could make sense but that's not what happened, or the declassified papers would detail what they were doing to make the Soviets think they were running these experiments, rather than experiment reports on their attempts to kill goats by staring at them. There is some precedent here (See: Area 51 dummy planes).
If anything it would have had to work the other way - I remember from a documentary that the Americans only got into all this woo-woo stuff because they found out that the Russians were doing it.
Oh look Quantum Apostrophe's back to shit all over space exploration in favor of life extension, a technology that our species isn't nearly mature enough to handle yet.
First thing I thought of when reading the article...they deploy real-life agents into the games? So you'd see some Warcraft orc or SL furry transform into a typical Fed-looking character? Presumably through the use of the Tron scanning laser?
Does anyone else think it's a travesty that our society allows people to reach adulthood while being so stupid? I think education should be a top priority, after that everything else will sort itself out within a generation.
Society wouldn't be so obsessed with telling other people what to do if obesity wasn't something that caused a visible change to a person's body. The bottom line? An awful lot of the feigned "concern" about weight loss is driven by people's own selfish desires for people around them to fit a personal preference of what they deem physically attractive.
Counterpoint: Where I live, most men prefer fat women. Women with naturally thin bodies feel that they've been born with a disadvantage. And our healthcare professionals still harp on and on about obesity, even though they're recommending what I would translate to American sexual tastes as mastectomies for all the women.
Women here still prefer the typical fit and muscular male figure...there are lots of fat women but fat men are uncommon.

So they're Wyden and...who?

Either you're severely claustrophobic or you've lived a perfect, highly pampered life we should all be jealous of.

And the one about the theater specifically, is surely about as old as affordable cell phone service.
Exactly. Correlation != Causation

Bradley Manning announces he wants a sex change on his first day in prison...oh wait...
Oh please, that's utterly ridiculous, the NSA needs a diversion campaign like an Eskimo needs an AC system.
Sure they could. They could have venomous stingers or acid blood or longer lifespans.

Fuck yes I would!
And next year I will be uploading some car parts. Stay tuned for my 4AGE 16v ITB adapter and crank ladder bars.
Great idea, but it might come out looking like the monolith from 2001 :-P

The PCSX2 developers said a PS3 emulator will be possible around 2020...so good luck with a PS4 emulator.
