  3. Re:Should there be ANY government secrets? on US Intelligence Planned To Destroy WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    what a nice world you live in, where everything is fine and dandy as long as its "legal".

  4. Re:Should there be ANY government secrets? on US Intelligence Planned To Destroy WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    should a soldier disobey orders that in his opinion are inhuman? a military officer would probably say no. i say yes.

    this is the same kind of question. i believe there are cases when a man needs to stand up for his beliefs about what's right and moral. of course, that's problematic... but then again, everything is.

    umm... depends on the hooker, i suppose.

  6. Re:I've never met an evil Scientologist on Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary · · Score: 1

    i don't think scientology is run by fanatics any more than, say, barnes&noble, or microsoft, or any other business, for that matter. the only difference is that scientology's leaders are criminals.

  7. Good Language Choice? on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 0

    I'd start by avoiding Fuck, Shit, Damn... you get the picture.

    hmm, i don't know... destroying things is pretty easy...

  11. Re:This won't stop... on Court Rules Against Vaccine-Autism Claims Again · · Score: 1

    i agree, 100%. though i'd like to add that altruism is none other than a more intelligent way of calculating one's expected utility. i.e., in many cases an action that benefits the group also benefits the member. unfortunately, this isn't always true, because i'll die in, like, 60 years, and anything that happens after that doesn't affect me at all - hence a perfectly intelligent selfish agent should use fossil fuels, pollute the environment, cause global warming, etc etc, because most of us will be dead before the damage from our reckless behavior is felt.

    in the case of vaccinations, i'm not sure what such an agent would do. there are other factors to consider, e.g. the financial cost of hospitalizing a person infected by, say, rubella...

    allow me to explain - if their idiot offspring doesn't get to reproduce, then their genes are out of the pool anyway.

    i LOLed. that's gotta be the most insulting thing anyone's ever said about poor old /.. (yes, i do put a period after /. if it's the end of the sentence.)

    the only thing worse than a mistake is over-correcting for it.

    a world without any copyright/patent law is a sad, sad world. kinda like a world where stealing or murder are legal.

    dude, you must be a poet or something, 'cause your post is so beautifully worded, it made me cum a little...

    but to be on topic, i agree - i don't see what damage it could do if i laugh about some tragedy in the privacy of my own room (or a /. discussion. oh wait...). though i personally go too far sometimes...

    I can't imagine how much this guy's hurting right now

    yeah, kinda like Richard Dean Anderson in stargate. did you see how messed up that guy was? though he intended to commit suicide by nuclear bomb, not firearm. let's hope this father doesn't react the same way, or we're gonna see a pretty mushroom one of these days...
