    You're missing out, they're better at lampooning news formats than Weekly World News and The Daily Show combined.

  2. Indeed. I'm inland, about 500 miles from the nearest coast, about 150m above sea levels and we currently have freezing temperatures, I wouldn't mind a few degrees more.

    Plus, I have no kids so who gives a fuck if you can still live on this planet in half a century when I'm dead?

    This I'd need an explanation for. We are already at the point where it's warmer than anywhere in the documented history of mankind and we're getting warmer as we speak, yet it's no concern?

    Easy. It's a pretty big asshole they're dealing with, there's plenty of room for the camera team.

    You are aware that you can retract DNRs?

    How exactly would you propose to do this with a tattoo?

    We're all born to die. There is little certainty in life but that it is finite.

    Give him a gun and tell him if he still doesn't want to live, that's pretty easy to do.

    Whether it does or not doesn't matter as long as it isn't reviewed, because it will certainly be challenged on these grounds or at the very least you'll see the relevant pressure groups cry foul, whether or not it is.

    This alone means that this MUST be reviewed before even thinking about considering it as admissible evidence.

    Money that literally KILLS you might be a bit of a hard sell, ya know...

    But Bitcoins are great in this regard. People think they're anonymous, people think that they're "forever", people like it for being the "next big thing", and most of all they'll soon find out that of course they can stuff their bitcoins into their mattresses but that this is dangerous, and that stuffing them into "banks" can be at least as dangerous, and you'll start to see people wanting to get rid of it.

    I think we'll see a test case for Gresham's Law very soon here.
