Why solve a social problem with a technical solution?
You're misapprehending the problem. If the problem was "how do we know who's in class?", then there's nothing wrong with the simple signing of the register. The problem that this is designed to solve, though, is "how do we collect facial-recognition data on as many people as we can while they're still to young to do anything about it?"
Given the kind of freaky porn that comes out of Germany, I doubt the German government is going to be phased by anything the Chinese decide to download.
Seriously? Chinese pr0n is even weirder, IMO. I'd give you a copy of the comprehensive study I wrote on the subject, but the pages are all stuck together...
For instance, if you take the wetsuit of a SEAL and put it in the drier[...]
Actually, since your average dryer runs at about 3 times the melting point of neoprene, what you'll get is horrendous black rubbery mess that smells like a tyre fire, and far more than the lint trap will need cleaning out.
Now, if you clean out the belly button of an Admiral, the result is naval navel lint.
But, most importantly, will it have black controls labelled in black on a black background, with small black lights that light up black when you press them to let you know you've done it?
Call me stupid but I was kind of hoping they would pass legislation and attempt to arrest a 100,000 people--flooding their legal system with 'guilty' file sharers and stealing valuable time from police officers who should be focusing on real threats to society.
Don't worry, the new "Extreme Porn" legislation will take care of that for you.

"Their interpretation of events was that they couldn't turn on their computer because we ran a poor ISP."
Sounds about right. I'm guessing that after chewing you out about their PC, they called their cable company to complain about their TV breaking in protest at the sheer awfulness of their programming...
Why is it when we ask people to read through a 2-page user policy, they skip through and don't even bother reading to just sign it, yet those same people will sit down and pour through 3 inches of legal documents for 4 hours when buying a home?
What makes you think that they do? Have you looked at the mortgage market recently?
Amateur. When you can use both hands and swap without missing a stroke, you'll have something to boast about. Assuming you can find someone to boast to.
The only reason the media are worried is because changing demographics are shifting poor people from Glasgow (and other traditionally poor regions) into London
Cite, please? I'm having a hard time with the notion of poverty-stricken Glaswegians being "displaced" into the single most expensive place in the UK to live. And London has perfectly good knife-wielding nutters of its own.
I'm listening to Leonard Cohen as I read your comment, and he just informed me that The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. Thats how it goes. Everybody knows.
How would someone 'steal a gun' if no-one was permitted to carry a gun? Kinda self defeating argument there.
It seems to work, though. I live in the UK, where almost all firearms are banned, with very few exceptions (I think farmers are still allowed shotguns), and we still have several thousand gun-related crimes every year. And no, it's not just the farmers.

Randomly. Sure.

That's the same reason I use ls -halt.
I use my left hand for that.

Where and when did society decide that a problem is only a problem if it is found?

Well, if you do it as a matter of routine, I guess it'd cease to be "unusual"...
I am just shocked at how stupid some of these people is.

There, fixed that for you.
I'd also say that cults tend to have more bizarre / possibly insane aspects to them.
You mean like dressing in black all the time and telling anyone who'll listen that the Lord is going to come back and judge us all?

Captcha: Armament. How appropriate.
That would discount Star Wars as well then, wouldn't it? That's just swords-and-sorcery (or lightsabers-and-force-powers) in space...
