  1. Re:Drones strikes are great... on Harvard Study Suggests Drone Strikes Can Disrupt Terror Groups · · Score: 1

    When the FBI decides to let it happen? Biggest threat is cheap drones in the hands of law enforcement. No only will the country become an open-air prison, but government agents will be able to easily stage incidents without risking identification.

  2. Re:To those thinking gun control would help: on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Organization always requires force.

  3. Re:Gun Control on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Probably more due to the culture in general than the gun culture. An isolated and suicidal American can get lots of attention, some of it even positive, for a mass shooting, while shooting fellow citizens in a small country used to danger like Israel just makes the shooter smaller.

  4. Re:Maybe same old 'leave your guns at entrance' ru on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Average person is not a murderer. If they panic they are more likely not to draw the gun at all than to start blasting in every direction.

    Citation?

  6. Re:Maybe same old 'leave your guns at entrance' ru on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 2

    The police shoot random unarmed people just for moving their hands. Being shot by friendly fire is far preferable to that, so get back to me about gun control after you've disarmed the police.

  7. Re:Why bras? on Medieval "Lingerie" From 15th Century Castle Could Rewrite Fashion History · · Score: 1

    Those African ladies probably had 5 pregnancies before 21 and lived harder in general, but western ladies with their wrapped up assets don't last much longer, certainly there is nothing good to look at after they are ready for marriage

  8. Re:Reasonable price != market-building price on Could Google Fiber Save Network Neutrality? · · Score: 1

    They can't raise prices to their customers - they are building market share

    Really? Some years I see two rate increases for my internet. And the ISPs have "boxed themselves in with below-cost pricing"? None of them are struggling to be profitable, and it seems like customers are the ones really boxed in to paying whatever the company chooses because there is no alternative. Even DSL no longer competes with cable.

  9. Re:The perfect guy on Judge In Kim Dotcom Extradition Case Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Judges often have harsh words against murderers and child rapists entered into the record too . Are they too biased to hear those types of cases?

  10. Re:Translation: on Judge In Kim Dotcom Extradition Case Steps Down · · Score: 1

    But the judges biased the other way usually have financial ties to the copyright industry! Unless this guy worked for a file-sharing site there is no parallel.

  11. Re:Translation: on Judge In Kim Dotcom Extradition Case Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Personal or financial interests make one partial. Being influenced by the facts and coming to a conclusion is just being a judge.

  12. Re:Mixing up their criminals on Google Joining Fight Against Drug Cartels · · Score: 2

    Prohibition of selling sex and organs pushed those markets into a shady area as well. It's actually more obvious in those cases how much the government needs crime, since the government had to imagine those markets selling ladies in shackles and kidneys in coolers when it couldn't find them.

  13. Re:Amazon isn't going to PAY sales tax on Why Amazon Wants To Pay Sales Tax · · Score: 2

    It's remarkable that this error is frequently made, especially since we have sales tax added to our purchases at checkout rather than have it included in the price. Not sure if it's just because the meager human brain takes the simplest path or if it has also been programmed by the way lobbyist and government propaganda frames the debate

  14. Re:She is not a good person after all. on Melinda Gates Pledges $560 Million For Contraception · · Score: 1

    Melinda Gates's goals are unethical by any standards. She wants to enable women to lie to their husbands, pretending to exchange fertility for money, when they are just unproductive parasites. Population control is more a side-effect of her evil plan to empower women through fraud.

  15. Re:So what? on Algorithmic Pricing On Amazon 'Could Spark Flash Crash' · · Score: 1

    They don't, which is why this story doesn't make sense. If you order something from a 3rd party seller on Amazon at a too-good-to-be-true price you're wasting your time because it will be canceled.

  16. Re:Are you ready for an EMP ?? on 50th Anniversary of the Starfish Prime Nuclear Weapon Test Today · · Score: 1

    You fail at spoiling our delicious chills of terror. We eagerly await the massive solar storm...

  17. Re:What about ladyboys? on Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    Money is a common argument from gay people wanting to get married. They say they'll save X amount in taxes or insurance premiums. And if their partner has a generous government pension and insurance plan, or if they'll qualify to receive their partner's social security benefit the costs to society really start to add up. Are they worth it? Of course a lot of these benefits were created to protect wives, but now that they are equal maybe married women aren't worth anything either...

  18. So...segregating bathrooms by gender violates equality? Maybe "equal" does not mean "same" in "our language" because of an arbitrary court decision that has no philosophical, semantic, or lexicographical validity...

  19. Re:High suicide rate in Japan on Social Networks, Suicide and Statistics · · Score: 1

    Zero based on the price of certain manufactured, imported products that the government chooses to measure. But printing more money doesn't necessarily raise all prices even while it's destroying people's standard of living.

    Such ridiculous behavior should not be encouraged

  21. Re:It's not "Mass Hysteria"; it's "Mass Terror" . on WHO Says Afghan School "Poison Attacks" Probably Mass Hysteria · · Score: 1

    Wow, I have found myself groping crotches recently! Now I know that it's because of terrorism, and my subconscious is just checking for explosives. Hopefully the media will publicize this phenomenon so that young ladies are no longer surprised by my behavior.

  22. Re:"Deterrent" my ass on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 1

    Did spend your youth hiding from Spetsnaz? Do you recall fighting hand-to-hand with Chinese on Sunset Beach? No? Thank nuclear weapons.

  23. Re:Afraid of a nuclear-armed state? on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 1

    The war with Al-Qaeda began long before that, and it was probably the US that fired the first shot. Afghanistan seems like it would have been a great nuclear target, though. From "Graveyard of Empires" to just "Graveyard". But besides being a huge pussy, Bush wanted to play General...

    They are here and they are not leaving until something more powerful comes along and to decry their existence is pointless
