Hitler at the very least was up-front about trying to take over the world, he sent in the tanks and divebombers, not some sneaky underhanded bunch of lawyers and politicians...
Just wait till they start shipping people off to Gitmo for copying a dvd, it wouldnt surprise me at all if they somehow manage to make copyright infringement a 'terrorist act' within a few years
im not saying i care about criminals, i'm saying that when owning a gun is normal, lots of people will own guns, so the chances of getting confronted with a gun increases, so the people will want more guns.
If every stoner highschool kid can easily get their hands on a gun, suddenly all those kids start looking threatening to the liquor shop owners, who respond by keeping a frikking shotgun under the counter...
It's just a downward spiral of misstrust and violence, and while i agree that criminals generally wont stick exactly to the law, i think the entirity of europe is pretty much proof that strickt gun-enforcement leads to fewer violent deaths
As i commented in another thread (which got modded into oblivion), criminals entering your home arent out to kill you, they are out for your TV. The reason they carry a gun, is because they are scared shitless that the second they pick up the tv, some guy upstairs wakes up and comes down with a shotgun or an uzi, its a basic arms race.
Here in europe people arent allowed to have guns (well, some people are, but it is extremely rare), so burglars dont need to arm themselves. The only way guns dont lead to an arms race between sides, is when the other side cant use a gun, i.e. Bears
Hence i dont see why anyone in America should be allowed to have a gun, save for hunting purposes, you guys dont use them in the intended(constitution) way anyway, you dont rebel, you dont care if they take your freedom, only when they try to take your tv..
i'm not entirely sure, but you would pay through the nose for that, while on a 30 euro/month plan you can have a iphone with unlimited 3g, but only 150 minutes/sms'
sorry, i meant here in the netherlands, T-mobile has the iphone exclusively, and offers it ith a plan with unlimited 3g, unfortunately their 3g coverage is the worst of all providers, sometimes you dont even have GSM coverage.
compared to the us and such, phones here are not all that expensive, but i still think it fricking sucks how expensive those things are
not to mention the fact that for various providers, SMS costs you a small amount of money (between 5-20 cents here in the netherlands, depending on contract), and every iphone comes with unlimited 3g usage
not having multi-tasking means you cant run the chat app in the background, so everytime you want to go to your webbrowser, the chat app completely closes, you go offline etc...
so even when not chatting with multiple people at the same time, this could be extremely usefull for chat apps
honestly, Murderers dont sneak into your house, burglars do, and they carry guns because they know the people in the house might have a frikkin uzi under their pillow. If you find an actual MURDERER sneaking into your house, a handgun wont save you..
hey, i never said AMD was more expensive then Intel, and i bet you that if they could charge $1000 for their top end, they would (and they should, milking the high end is the easiest way to recoup dev costs)
personally i prefer AMD because of their price/performance ratio too, and they have consistently kicked intels but there

this would be AWESOME for the ipad, might even make it worthwhile.
Ah right, that explains, good luck with that dictato.... eh democracy thing you have there
it wasnt a standard wii-mote, or even a white plastic scifi gun, it was a black gun, looking much like an actual weapon
the kind that is actually illegal here in holland, because it looks so much like a real gun, it could be used in hold-ups and the like
Fidel, is that you?

Law Enforcement: If You're a Gun Owner, You Have to Be Responsible
Or what? Someone will shake their finger at you?
Or you risk you kid shooting itself in the face... idiot
the weapon wasnt a revolver, but a semi-automatic clip loaded thing.. (dont know the correct term for this really..)
it was left on the table with a round in the chamber, cocked, with the safety off
Fine. No prison time for the hick as long as he's sterilized with a chainsaw.
that sounds acceptable to me, the last thing we need is this guy staying in the gene-pool
i'm just wondering which war-torn 3rd world country you live in to need 24h firearm-level self defense...
the toddler in TFA is a referd to as shooting herself, not himself...
Hold on, let me fire up eclipse and i'll get right on it!
