  1. Re:I'm held to account. Why aren't they? on LulzSec Document Dump Shows Cops' Fear of iPhones · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So if the cop had said that a guy shouldn't walk around with a stack of 100s sticking out of his pocket to avoid getting rolled you'd be up in arms too, right?

    Does dressing like a slut mean an unvoiced consent to sexual advances? No. Does it mean someone dressed like a slut deserved getting raped? No. Does being female absolve you of all consequences? No. If a white guy walked through a black neighborhood with a "I Love the KKK" shirt and a trucker hat that looked like a klan hood and was beaten to a bloody pulp I bet you'd say he deserved it.

    Also, I didn't see a "deserved to be raped" in the linked article just "One of the safety tips was for women not to dress like âsluts.'" so [Citation Needed] on the deserve statement.

    I'll take your word that you've never understood what "trust but verify" means for the moment but I may look into your post history later to see if it's true.

    1) What were bibles written during that period? Latin. Who had the books? The Church. Who could read the books? The clergy. Latin was DRM.

    2) What version of the bible really cheesed off the (Catholic) church when it rolled off the press? The ones that weren't in Latin, ie, had the Catholic DRM removed.

    You can buy .50 BMG hollow points, soft tips, you name it.

    And really, other than military surplus what ammo isn't going to be specialty for a .50 BMG?

    .50 BMG isn't a high power hunting round? That's some tough deer you've got in your area then.

    Not going to see that go away until we solve the "equal but more equal" problem. To use a Stalin quote "Killing a woman is a tragedy, killing men is a statistic."

  14. Re:A challenge on How the Web's Relationship With Anonymity Has Changed · · Score: 1

    Is it only because corps want it to die and not because we're hitting the tipping point where enough people are behaving irresponsibly and causing enough trouble for everyone else that they're willing to forgo some anonymity to get things back to a workable state?
