    From the article:

    "Mr Atkinson was involved in introducing tough new laws to outlaw bikie gangs in South Australia several years ago."

    So, I'm not really sure what you're saying.

    Then was forced to admit he made it up.

    No.

    "He was later forced to apologise. The animal was not a cat, the incident happened at another location and bikies weren't involved."

    The article states he was forced to apologise. It is inconclusive as to whether or not he conjured this lie out of thin air, or was simply misinformed. Given he is a politician, we will never know.

  14. Re:Compliance Rates & Hands-Free Use on Phone and Text Bans On Drivers Shown Ineffective · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've always noticed people will unwaveringly claim themselves to be the best on the road. Then you get in the car with them, and they're narrowly avoiding swerving into oncoming traffic while loudly smacking gum with the maw agape, incessantly rambling about the inanities of the day-to-day, whilst simultaneously fumbling about with the controls of the radio, causing you to fear for your life. Tires squealing here and there, corners taken too fast, a pedestrian unseen, almost rear-ending someone, yelling about "other stupid drivers," when their own behavior is reckless and absurd.

    Yeah, I don't know, those people always say they're such great drivers -- but considering I don't do any of those things, and am actually aware that there are other people on the road (surprisingly enough, who have the exact same level of rights as I do!), I'm probably a little more justified in claiming I can drive well.

    And there's no reason to think that any other civilization would have such extra resources either.

    I think it's a pretty ignorant statement to presuppose that any other civilization in the universe will necessarily irreparably rape and exploit their planet for resources as badly as we humans have.

    Well, I'm not really sure what planet you're living on, but there are countless incidents of reprehensible behavior throughout the world each day which, in the end, go unpunished, and we seem to be getting along just fine compared to a few hundred years ago. Believe it or not, there doesn't need to be a law on the books covering every little thing that could go wrong.

Yeah, you see, after that we're going to hack this Gibson to commandeer another network-attached universe-computing machine, and use that to start up our own botnet in the real world.
