Huh. Maybe if we repeat this enough, it won't actually matter that it's not actually true.
In fact, firearms are one of the two things (the other being the printing press) that allowed the downtrodden masses to throw off the yoke of feudalism; that's why our Founders insisted that Americans be encouraged to own them. So really, in the interests of freedom, please do go fuck yourself.
If you'd actually traveled, you'd know that people are people pretty much anywhere you go.
Okay, okay; I lied: I wasn't actually in Oklahoma for ten years. Truth be told, I was in the Riviera... I just thought people would think I was cooler if I told them Muskogee.;)
So, you've either never really been anywhere
Dammit, you're really forcing me to divulge everything, aren't you? Alright, alright, I admit: I've never been anywhere (mind you, I was under the impression that Oklahoma essentially counted as nowhere... but we'll defer to your holier-than-thou expert opinion on the subject).;)
or are completely so self centered that you're unwilling to look around you to determine that your preconceived notions aren't actually correct
Rest assured, I'm plenty self-centered.;) Nonetheless, your retarded suggestion that people tend to act the same everywhere is the real giveaway; if you'd actually traveled anywhere (with your eyes and ears actually open, mind you), you wouldn't be making such silly suggestions. Stereotypes exist because people tend to reinforce them. I realize that it perhaps shouldn't be that way... but should in one hand, shit in the other, right?
So here you go, for the record:
When I didn't spend the first ten years of my life growing up in Japan, I definitely did not noticed certain cultural tendencies; in fact, Japanese tended to live and act exactly the same as other people. (Really no reason to travel anywhere, then, is there, since everyone everywhere acts pretty much the same...).
When I didn't spend the next ten years in the NY/CT area, I did not notice that New Englanders (at least those in Fairfield County) tend to be be more irritable and impatient than, say, Midwesterners. (After all, if I had, you'd be wrong, wouldn't you? Surely that can't be!)
Seriously though, are you sure you're not an Okie?;)
I stopped reading after the September 11th introduction.
I stopped reading after the first word in TFS. Seriously: Fuck. That. Place. I finally manage to leave (one of the worst places in the English-speaking world, in my not-so-humble opinion)... and the fucking shithole continues to follow me around on the web.
Anyone here ever enable hardware acceleration on Tomb Raider for DOS? (I had a patch for the Matrox Mystique). When you stepped from software-rendered 320x240 to 640x480 (or 800x600 if you were able to run 3Dfx Glide), the way Lara Croft's ass twitched as she walked... *sigh*
You sure about that? Law enforcement largely dropped 9mm (in favor of.40 S&W) nearly a generation ago; a lot of the reasons for that would seem applicable here...
Every cable can be severed. Every mile from the rest of your operations is additional risk.
Sure, if logic worked that way. It doesn't: if there's a quantifiable risk of someone wanting to cut your cable, that risk doesn't arbitrarily increase because your cable length increases!
"Accordingly, it is a fact, as far as I am informed, that England was, until we copied her, the only country on earth which ever, by a general law, gave a legal right to the exclusive use of an idea. In some other countries it is sometimes done, in a great case, and by a special and personal act, but, generally speaking, other nations have thought that these monopolies produce more embarrassment than advantage to society; and it may be observed that the nations which refuse monopolies of invention, are as fruitful as England in new and useful devices."
My apologies: you make an entirely valid point. His stance on that one issue strikes me as utter bullshit. Sure, medical malpractice lawsuits have got to be completely frivolous at times... but nonetheless understandable considering the degree of incompetence that medical "practitioners" like to demonstrate routinely. I'd say the real problem is the fucking HMO's.
No doubt we'll get around to nanoscale rod logic just as soon as we've figured out how to genetically-engineer the mechanisms needed to assemble them.;)
McAffee is a creepy old sex tourist, using his money to sleep with women 40 years younger than him
For the sake of argument, let's say that the above is true. Is he (A) at fault for not using his money the way you think he should... or are (B) the women [40 years younger at fault] somehow at fault for accepting said money... or (C) are you demonstrably a complete holier-than-thou loser? I can certainly tell you which option I'd put my my money on (though in another twenty years, I might rather just hand it to a woman 40 years younger than myself; you never know).;)

Guns are bad

Morocco, located along the northwestern African coast
I'm guessing that anyone who has to be told where Morocco is will also need to be told where the northwestern African coast is. :p
Both sides of this thing now view the debate as a war, and both sides are resorting to ever more despicable tactics.
Can we arm both sides with nukes (okay, cesium-powered micro-tactical nukes) and watch M.A.D. play out in action? ;)
I propose a huge penalty for companies that allow inexperienced programmers to hack into them. :)
So, what, are you suggesting that our "leadership" shouldn't be made up of complete sociopaths?
The problem is that Asphalt, and Concrete are made of materials that currently have no known mathematics
Clearly all the resources were spent testing, not teaching...
Get a room you two.
Get a fucking comma, dumbass!

What Might a $50 Tablet Inspire?
Surely it would inspire the same thing that a fucking color TV in every home has already inspired:
complete and utter stupidity.
Time to declassify those nuclear-powered tunnel-boring machines?

What's the expression? Ah, yes:
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Square Enix also owns... Tomb Raider

Change at most 3 parts and have a slimmer or thicker grip.
It isn't that simple: a proper double-stacked design employing a suitably-powerful cartridge going to require a minimum thickness... .
However, they're going to want to stick with 9mm
You sure about that? Law enforcement largely dropped 9mm (in favor of .40 S&W) nearly a generation ago; a lot of the reasons for that would seem applicable here...

As pointed out before: The kid 'invented' a bigotry-detector.
It would seem the kid's dad hacked our bigotry-detectors.

Put me inside Battle Arena: Toshinden... I'll show that KGB blonde what's what. ;)
For sure! Being able to locate missing people (sorry, "persons") would be even better than if they could only locate their phones. ;)
No doubt we'll get around to nanoscale rod logic just as soon as we've figured out how to genetically-engineer the mechanisms needed to assemble them. ;)
Or should I say "Ruprecht the Monkey Boy?" ;)

I don't agree with every position he has
I'd be surprised if you did; as they're based entirely on logic and common sense, their reasons are bound to be confusing to most.
