If you think Temuera Morrison's voice doesn't scream "fuck with me and you'll regret it", you've clearly never met any maoris. Go rent "Once were warriors" and you'll have a new respect for our new boba fett (overlord?).
Never happen, because people would buy less. It would negate the wonderful psychological tricks they've taken years to perfect, such as $X.95 prices and putting the high-price objects at shoulder height and at the bottom.
If I create a 100 page document revealing nuclear secrets and instructions for successfully bringing down a US airliner, is that free speech?
Yes. Knowledge should never be a crime. If you use that knowledge to commit crimes, then you've committed crimes. If you commit crimes to gain that knowledge, then you've commited crimes. Knowledge is never evil.
If I create a list of fellow students I intend to kill on Monday, is that free speech?
Yes. Conspiracy to murder somebody is a crime. Writing a list of people you'd like to kill, should not be. Of course in the current scared social climate, writing a list of names for any purpose is pretty much illegal.
If I write (and distribute) a program with the express intent of DDoS'ing websites (which is illegal), is that free speech?
Yes. Using it may be illegal in some jurisdtictions, but writing it should not be.
If I write (and distribute) a program with the express intent of illegally using zombied machines (which is against federal law) is that free speech?
Yup.
Writing code, or writing down knowledge, or instructions, should NEVER be illegal. Hacking computers, blowing up aeroplaines, making nuclear weapons, are already illegal. Why should it be illegal to know how to do these things? It's illegal to break into somebody's house, but it's not illegal to be a locksmith, even if you're just an amateur locksmith. And that's the way it should be.
A lot of ppl are moderating funny posts as insightful, interesting, or underratted, because they believe (as do I) that funny posts deserve some karmic reward.
If you're fighting a dog and you're willing to kill it, it's _very_ easy to win. Simply grab its forelegs, and pull them apart. Do this with a bit of force, and it'll drop dead.
Otherwise, just punch the fucker on the nose. Most deaths due to dog attacks are due to the victim freezing, and simply screaming / flailing helplessly against the animal, or two or more dogs attacking someone at once.
Well they're flamin everywhere in.au, and I have to agree... The smart "roadster" is slightly less fridge-like, but still looks like garbage. But why would anybody who's not a trendoid buy one of these? They're ugly, underpowered, way way way overpriced, useless for anything save driving to work with one briefcase, you can't even go shopping in the bloody things unless you go 3 times a week. A mini I can understand, you actually get some car for your money, but these things cost about as much as a well-equipped corolla, or a totally decked out mid-sized hyundai (ech).
And me without smackdown^H mod points. You enjoy playing a game. If you have difficulty seperating it from real life, then you have a weak personality. It's not addictive. Alcohol is addictive. Cocain, heroin, addictive. Video games are not addictive.
Have you ever noticed that (white) westerners never seem to go and call their kids jesus, but every third moslem you meet is named mohammed? In some moslem cultures it's pretty much the rules that your first born son be named mohammed.
Because it's our current implementation of democracy that rewards blame-casting, ass-covering, buck-passing and baby-kissing more than actions and sensible long-term planning.
Capitalism is less to blame other than it magnifies the effects of said problems due to the money-hungry corporate-sponsored media that is all 90% of the people have for information.
And don't take this for a pinko rant, either. Clearly, communism is not a better solution. What we need is a better form of democracy that's designed to function more effectively in modern times, and takes into account that the threat to the people is no longer from some distant king, but Monsanto, and TimeWarnerFoxMicrosoftAol (you get my drift i'm sure).
The current worldwide consensus seems to be "pretend that there really isn't a problem, and hope that I'm out of office by the time it reaches the crisis point."
That's pretty much the most insightful thing I've read here in a long time, and pretty much sums up what's wrong with democratic capitalism as we have it at the moment.
Erm, no. The ggp post was implying that australians are much less litigious than americans. As there's a lot more than 2 major cities in the US, the fact that sydney is #3 clearly shows that he was in fact, incorrect.

Plenty of Americans can't speak english, so why should the Chinese be any different?

Yeah, coz alpha was a viable platform until the P4 was released....
And the pacific highways leads to Sydney, Canberra and eventually to Melbourne (ech), but I manage to stop at Coffs Harbour.
2. Several black stormtroopers added for racial balance.
Except we know that they're already all Maoris.

Hehehe... Used to date an Irish girl by the name of Caoimhe (kweeva)... I feel your pain ;-)
Wow, someone is actually arguing that heroin is not addictive to most users? Geez, never though I'd see the day.
You quote the text, but you didn't read it. There's a difference between opium (and opiates) and heroin.
No, they were instantly available once a) the MKK had been entered and b)the machine was upgraded to version 3 :)
Coz it beats standing in line with the titrats and smackheads at centerlink?

"Hold it bob, we can see your watch."
But at what point does it cease to be disposable parts of my wife and me and start being a separate human?
When it could be born, and live. Sounds pretty simple and reasonable to me, but then again I'm not a religious nut, as it seems so many in the US are.

Because phone-cameras suck copius amounts of ballage, and apple would never put their logo on something so crap?
Hey, what smells like blue?

Hrm... Fucking the housemate's missus sounds like a good way to get your belongings trashed / pawned.
Unless said housemate is in on it, at least.
Goddammit I wish somebody would update snpp, wolfcastle says "The goggles do nothing!", not "The goggles, they do nothing!"
*apologies for the hj*
