    Finally he's doing something against global warming!

  2. And nothing of value would have been lost.

  3. So many people get killed from SWAT raids, couldn't this have been one of them? I mean, it's not like this blob is hard to miss.

  5. Kimmie, here's a tale for you on Kim Dotcom Sues New Zealand For $6.8 Billion In Damages Over Erroneous Arrest (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering that the New Zealand authorities are the ONLY thing that keeps you from getting thrown to the wolves the US are...

    A mouse was fleeing from the cat and came to a cow. The mouse begged "hide me!", which prompted the cow to drop a huge, smelly big cow pat onto the mouse, covering it fully. The cat came along and didn't see the mouse, the mouse on the other hand squeaked and squeaked, happy to be safe from the cat.

    The cat heard the squeaking and picked up the mouse on its tail, cleaned the mouse of the manure and ate it.

    Moral of the story: Not everyone that shits on you is your enemy. Not everyone that pulls you out of the shit is your friend. And when you're up past your neck in manure, shut the fuck up!

  6. He SUED for loss of reputation? on Kim Dotcom Sues New Zealand For $6.8 Billion In Damages Over Erroneous Arrest (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering his only reputation was that he's a fraud, an inside trader and generally an asshole that would throw his partners under a bus for shits and giggles (and getting a get-out-of-jail card for it) numerous times, he should rather be PAYING anyone that manages to make him shed his reputation!

    It's not a change in protocol, it's just admitting what has been reality for a long time.

    There's plenty of other dissonant voices that ... oh, sorry, misread that.

    Christianity practiced in fanaticism leads to the same hellhole as every religion practiced with fanaticism. Salem might ring a bell, but if that's not good enough, you needn't look any further than any other witch hunts where being different in whatever way was equal to being burned alive.

    And saying the "Christianity uniquely believes in the concept of freedom of conscience and therefore freedom of religion" means that you either don't understand Christianity or the idea of freedom of religion. The very first commandment flies right in the face of freedom of conscience or religion. You want to tell me a fanatic Christian would start out with ignoring already the very first of the 10 top level laws of his creed?

    Our high standard of living and our progress came along as soon as we managed to shed the bronze age bullshit and actually understand that logic and reason is what we need to base our laws on instead of the whims of an imaginary friend with OCD.

    Then it should be trivial for a private enterprise to take over the market.

    Or are they even MORE shitty?

  13. Not buying.

    Nah. Same reason it's uneconomic to off politicians. You kill one, but the next one is there in line to take his place.

    Odd how our times of the month synchronize, sister, but every time you have your time of the month I have mine.

    I stab people that piss me off during mine. Seeing how your thing is pissing off people... you might find someone else to hang around.

    I dare say that every male in my country is more proficient on average with a gun than any male US citizen. Unlike them, most of the males in my country did get a through education concerning guns, their safe handling, cleaning (hell yes...) and yes, firing.

    We don't own them, though. We leave them with the military when we quit our service.
