They won't care too much about our DNA. We won't care much either, since the near-luminal velocity missiles will hit before they are spotted. On the off chance you survive the cataclysm, I'd start trying to figure out how to survive without electricity. Fucking Sagan.
I'm sorry this is insane. You're saying that a person had 6 bullets puncture the pleural cavity, and almost certainly his lungs in AT LEAST one of those six shots, and kept functioning? I hear these kinds of stories all the time from "this guy that I know who's a commando/seals/ranger/special forces. Now, I'm sure that someone who is in almost superhuman physical condition, hopped up on adrenaline and maybe some other drugs, will not INSTANTLY drop with a large number of holes punched through their chest. But they are certainly going down very, very soon. It's kinda the way chests and lungs work. They become dreadfully inefficient when holes get put through them, and start filling up with blood. It happens very fast. Not to mention that people in gunfights will already have a very high level of respiration. I'm certain that you won't die instantly in a very nice Hollywood fashion, but you will be incapacitated in short order.
Yeah. Everyone knows LADAR sites suck. Unfortunately, nowadays, gravimetric and radar sites pretty much suck, too. What regions do Chicago Court hold? I've never heard of them.
Yes, this is the problem, for the most part. I'm not in college, but in the military, death by powerpoint is as common as anything. EVERY briefing, presentation, every class has a powerpoint presentation to go along with it. Most are such because somebody somewhere got a nice bullet(ironically) on their NC/OER for it. I've always wondered, if you are just going to read from the slides verbatim, why don't you just give me a copy of the presentation and save us all the trouble?
Next they will use comet goo to make some of those corner bricks, and maybe some asteroid crap to make the cool opening doorways. Then, if somebody can come up with one of the large flat square sections, we can make one cool lego house.
So your thesis is that everything fictional is acceptable, not only from a legal perspective but also such that it may not be criticised or the subject of moral or ethical censure?
I don't think you understand free speech. Free speech doesn't mean "free from all consequences",
Seriously, what the fuck? Are you telling me, than you've never read, enjoyed, or engaged in ANY kind of fictional endeavor, game, novel, comic book the involved a crime, or something tasteless or horrible? Are you telling me that by playing monopoly, I will become more likely to want to financially destroy people? Are you saying that because I read Frankenstein I will want to 'play God' as it were?
People playing video games KNOW they are playing video games. They voluntarily purchase the game, or they voluntarily take up the controller at their friends house. They have not been conned, or duped. They are not under any kind of direct emotional manipulation to fool them otherwise. If you are so cognitively and emotionally weak that you cannot separate from reality behavior in a fictional setting, the content of that setting is far from the problem.
Furthermore, if you think video games somehow apply to the crowded theater caveat of free speech, you are without a doubt, a complete fucking moron.
For christ's sake, it's a game! You aren't killing anyone. Nobody is dying. Nobody is killing you. It isn't real. Driving fast on Forza or Pole Position does not make me want to speed IRL, shooting cartoon people in TF2 doesn't make me want to shoot cartoon people IRL, and stealing endless amounts of cars in GTA doesn't make me want to steal cars or be a 'banger' IRL. There are no moral decisions because you aren't really a soldier, those aren't really people, and those aren't really guns. For fucks sake.
I think the reason people bitch about Dan Brown is because there is a significant portion of people(many of them tinfoil hat types) who themselves believe his novels or significant portions of them are true. Which is really maddening, because if you look at his books, especially the DaVinci Code stuff, they are awful. Horrible characters, horrible dialog, and horrible pacing.

And what, exactly, is wrong with sparklers?
Yes, I remember my brother and I badgering our dad to get a soundcard put into the PC so we could hear Wing Commander. Oh, glorious day.
And the other half is violence
That's just what they want you to think.
