Someone makes an admittedly poor joke about guns and dick size, and you go off the fucking deep end. If you have some personal problems, then perhaps you shouldn't react so violently when someone raises the topic (even in jest), Pencil Pecker.
Better to be "full of shit" than having it running out of you like a waterfall.
As someone who has had Amoebiasis (from tap water no less), and spent pretty much 3 weeks on antibiotics sat in the bathroom doubled up in pain and everything I either ate or drank passing right through my system and out the other end in 5 minutes, I can tell you it's no joke.
Still, you go one drinking your deer piss and whatnot... I'll stick with my purified drinking water.
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Except for Master of Transhuman. We gonna kick THAT bitches ass to the kerb.
A cyborg is an ORGANISM which has been ENHANCED or even REPLACED by cybernetic machinery.
Okay, so they took a human, and REPLACED all the squishy internals with machinery. How is that NOT a cyborg ???
Buy a USB wifi dongle about $20 (in cash), and throwaway "load" cards (also in cash). Then just find a nice wifi area supporting that "instant internet" system, and away you go.
and demand that you provide some substantive proof that you can ascertain with reasonable certainty
An IP address identifies a specific computer connected at a specific time, and with the advent of wifi, even that is debatable.
It NEVER identifies a person unless said person was demonstrably locked in the room by themselves and was the only possible person who had access to the computer at that time. Unless you have CCTV footage of your own house that they can subpoena, try PROVING who was using the computer at a given time.
How will you ever prove conclusively (or even with reasonable certainty) WHO used the computer to commit the infringement ?
An therein lies the rub, as the RIAA really don't give a fuck WHO pays, providing someone does. This is why parents are made responsible for what their seven year old was doing online, and why people with compromised wifi get to pay for damages incurred by anonymouse third parties.
I'll say it again, it's not about privacy, because they really don't care who infringed, just that they can get their 50,000 pounds of flesh from John Doe 1 - 50,000.
The rate of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) varies by region but is generally about 1 case per 750,000 vaccine recipients.
So to save the 1 person who had a bad reaction to a vaccine, you would put another 750,000 at risk of infection with the WILD version of the virus because they DIDN'T get the vaccination ?
So hey buddy, screw you too. Knee-jerk reactionary morons like you should be sterilized to avoid further contamination of the gene pool.
[victims] were compensated with awards totaling $903 million.
At $20 million a pop, what's that ? About 45 cases in the span of 22 years ?
Everyone is told they are safe, but like it or not, millions and millions are paid out to children that were injured by vaccines
Yes, but that's not the same as saying millions and millions of children are injured by vaccines. See above if you still don't get it.
Even IF there are some outliers, how many millions of people have been SAVED by these vaccines. When was the last time you saw someone in United Kingdom with Polio. NEVER right ? Now come out to the Philippines where I emigrated to, and you can see the victims of Polio every day, dragging their mangled limbs through rows of traffic at stop lights trying to beg a few pesos for their next meal.
Fuck off with your paranoia and your litigation filled life, and come and see how the rest of the world lives.
Unless it was stolen... which essentially in this case it was.
To use a car analogy, you agree to trade in your old banger for a brand new 2010 Porsche. You receive the Porsche, then refuse to return the banger, instead selling it to someone who has FULL knowledge it was supposed to be a trade in. Then when he tries to resell it, Porsche get antsy, saying "this belongs to us".
This isn't someone who just bought a sealed box in Walmart and then decided he didn't want it. The headline only makes it appear that way, thank you Soulshill.
The box must NOT be sealed, so that the purchaser can fully read the EULA before he purchases it.
And if he is only purchasing a licence, this should be clearly printed on the box, together with the statement the "Purchasing this product grants you a single non-transferrable licence for one computer. Furthermore, you agree to forfeit all first sale rights on this product".
And let the consumers decide. Hiding these terms in 8 point arial within a document the size of a Bible is deliberate misdirection so people don't read the EULA and realise what they are agreeing to.
I was trying to find a really good response, but then realized Granny Weatherwax had already identified the core problem with religion.
"I mean, it's one thing saying you've got the best god, but sayin' it's the only real one is a bit of a cheek, in my opinion. I know where I can find at least two any day of the week".
While I was looking up the exact quote, I also found this gem.
"He says gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at".
It's made up of a huge collection of individuals, who subscribe to wildly varying bits of gospel.
And suprisingly, most of it the the EXACT same gospel as the Christian Old Testament.
Except for that unfortunate printing error regarding "washing pork 10 times, and avoiding eating your own hands and feet".
Muslims have the same concepts of Adam and Eve, the great flood, Abraham and all that... hell, the Bible isn't exactly a paragon of virtue in the early books... smite this, crush that...
It seems Muslims just take it way too seriously / literally, when the rest of the world is finding it less and less relevant to modern life.
What the fuck do I care ? I'm Athiest anyway... everyone hates me:-(

Dear mods,
The parent post should have a better score than this one.
Oh, and Apple sucks ass.

Pretty much 100% anonymous, I'd say.
He also predicted we'd have no shoes and various other things.
If there had been MP3 players in shoes, you can be damn sure the RIAA would have made shoes illegal.

She probably also endured a bumpy ride in either a speeding car or ambulance to get to the hospital.
Does that mean we should be looking at correlations between speeding over bumpy roads and seizures ?

The words Doctor and Chiropractor should never be seen in the same sentence, lest the universe die of laughter.
So tell me "Doctor" ... in your opinion, exactly which vertebrae should be twisted, pummeled or otherwise manipulated to cure Autism.
It would be funny if not for the fact there are many gullible morons who would actually pay you thousands of dollars for your opinion.

Or you could make some joke about the French government surrendering at first sight of ANYTHING.
