"Have you considered that in the US the number of people who successfully defend themselves with a handgun are hugely outweighed by those who are injured or killed with their own weapon?"
I think you should look up the actuall numbers they are huge. The number of times a armed citizen simply displays a firearm ends 99.9% of all crimianl bullshit without the firearm being used in the US most of the time. The criminals just run away or are held until the police arrive. Criminals prefer the unarmed. Most person who are harmed and killed with their weapons supprsingly turn out to be law enforcement officers who let down their guard. That is really tragic. Professor Gary Lott has done the numbers and his studies have been peer reviewed. Even his critics say his number are good. What you are implying just isn't true and doesn't happen to normal everyday persons to any great degree.
I also happen to have been very well trained as a security offical in the use of deadly force with and without firearms. This was in my not a private citizen prior incarnation. If the police arrive and pull out their firearms they will 99.9% time use them. Resulting in at least one new dead person. At least one lawsuit and, much angst and recrimination. But it is better than the policeman/woman being dead. Society is safer when criminals don't know who is armed and what with.
Just and sane persons or goverments have no need to fear armed citizens. However the reverse can't be said to be true. Just and sane people should fear any goverment that fears their carrying of arms for self protection. They should be suspect against individuals that do as well as there motives might be those of a Pol Pot Hitler or Stalin and not just unwarranted fear.
Fine when your kids get the shit kicked out of them by people who don't hold with your positions children they can blame you. I know this because I was raised to not defend myself or to ever use violence. You are being a LAMER.
Unlike TV and the rantings of the Sara Brady hand gun control people (who changed their name due to unpopularty) and the truth challenged Mr Moore just any looser can't go out and buy a gun.
Any looser can go out and buy a video game however.
Any Criminal anywhere can get a gun if they want one even in your country I would venture. So I shouldn't have the ability to defend my self? Oh I know you want me to wait so a nice policeman can come and draw a nice chalk line around my dead body. Not me sorry. If you are queer enough in the head to expect me to want to give up my right to self defence you may already have given up yours. I am sorry for you.
This is just an further attempt to give the state and it's agents power the United States Constutition does not give them. The state and it's agents NEED to fear the citizen, As long as they do the citizen is safe. When the citizen does not the citizen becomes a cow who is easily sacraficed as and offering to the gods of socialism and utoipa by the state/government. Every child should take their gaming seriously and instill fear ionto the rotten black heart of the oppressors ( people who pass these stupid fucking laws. ) Law enforcers have superior rights and powers over plain citizens is the message they want to send when they do not. The constutition doesn't give the "cops" any rights superior to the common citizen. Anyone weho9 tells you it does is full of shit. Just like this censorship law.
Yea just another commie Democrat trying to force her PC socialist zealot agenda on everyone else. (Not to be confused with a wacked out right wing religous zealot Republican trying to force their NAZI agenda on everyone else.) These tpyes will never give up. Their willingness to infringe your civil and human rights knows no bounds. You don't want these people as friends ever.
"If the US public could be misled by Bush and his administration to go to war with...."
You are a being ignorant. Bush has not even nominated the great majority of the judical branch appointments to their positions. These appointments are for life. How the fuck does anything Bush may or may not have done in regard to Iraq effect the out come of this case? Bush as president only runs the executive branch of government not the judicial branch. He has no control over the judical branch. He has no control over any federal Judge. I get it. If people supported the war they also have to be so ignorant as to not see this SCO crap for what it is. There is no way they could hold a different world view than yours in the regard to the war in Iraq and also see this for what it is. What a fatheaded view on people and politics and justice in the USA.
You and your ilk bring this "Bush is evil" stuff up in order to put forward your personal and political bias. It never stikes you that those who may disagree with you might just be as or more interesed in getting this shit over with. That they too believe Darl McBride and SCO are full of shit. That they also might be using Linux. That they might to be stakeholders in the outcome of all this. It's a sorry thing that people have to continually point stuff like this out. I really don't care that I will no doubt be modded down but people have to make a stand about this crap. Keep your anti Bush anti US comments to yourself. It's really that easy asshat. You must be all about exclusion and not inclusion and freedom to have such tunnel vision.
Finally is putting live humans into plastic chipper/shredders and having their familys watch them die or having on the government payroll those with the job title rapist doesn't justify any means to get rid of Saddam then you are a co-criminal with him. You must have missed the moblie weapons labs and despenser that have been found but I can't see how. They were on every news broadcast in the US. Most of the evidence points to the fact he was producing and planning the production of WMD(s) This is about the Linux kernel and SCO's attempt to screw it over. It's not about your political ideas and preferences. Haven't you got that figured out yet?
My distinctions are very clear Bush, Iraq, WMD are all not in any way shape or form part of the SCO Linux kernel issue. Asshat.

The only problem with Indian outsourcing is atomic. Pakistan and India are going to nuke each other one of these days and all the "outsourced" shit is going to be a glass parking lot.
Not a wise Biz move sparky.
If you outsource the generation of wealth all your wealth ends up where you have outsorced it. Another stupid fucking move.
Greed and stupidity will fuck you over every time.
The people should have revolted laong ago. They however are all sheep. It's not going to happen. They have all the guns and the money. It's too late now.
Good freeking luck. About as much chance of that as gettign the prune juice nets off of the band.
"I had a shit today. First one in about a week." "I woke up today and went out side and got the paper." LOL
What really will be fucked is brodband over powerlines. But Since I can run 1.5 KW I might be able to cut thru the interference.
If I was this guy I would put it up and let the goverment find me. The only reason for the limitations he is facing are goverment greed and stupidity.
Well I am no Linux zealot however I use it 99.9% of the time. My user interface is as good as they get unless you can hook me up with and interface that reads my mind. There is nothing confusing about it and I can make it look anyway I want to boot. I don't do CLI very often and when I do it's in a "window" on one of my mutiple "desktops"/workspaces. If I didn't have a very good and usable GUI I wouldn't be using Linux at all.
Usability wise Linux knocks the crap out of all other OSes I have used. If you can't get it to work it's because you are a fucking retard.

I don't think there really were . The people who made alot of the laws were the wacked out religous sexually repressed bunch.

Well his name is Darl.
Go figure.
Only if more than 10% of the sane US population cared.
Get a clue.
This is simply the current journalism standard of the world.
It also is fast becoming the political standard of at least one faction in the US.
It really is too sad.
