This argument has already been refuted. Read my response to this line of argument and then attempt to rebut that argument.
I see no reason to repeat myself simply because you're not paying attention.
As I assume you're not big on reading... demonstrably... I assume you'll refuse to do this... and so the argument almost certainly ends here. To which I say: Good day.
Unless I'm mistaken and you want to actually remain on topic. Your ball... your choice.
You've missed the point every single fucking time.
Restart. Just forget everything above because some bullshit got into your brain and it is fucking everything up. Restart.
Do you think that a man today would have identical reactions to ALL visual stimuli as a man from 20,40,60,80, or 100 years ago?
Yes or no?
Do you think his reactions TO EVERYTHING would be identical or not?
If not, then age is a factor that has to be controlled for in this experiment.
The only way you're going argue the inverse is if you think reactions would be remain identical over that time frame. I assume you're not going to make that argument.
So you now understand what I said in the first place and we are now done unless you want to try the inverse argument which... is instant fail.
They do have those problems. Notice the rather frequent riots in Paris as well as growing ethic problems throughout europe.
The concept is generally poor. And anyone that is paying any attention to it what so ever is already aware of the issue.
The idea is causing problems where ever implimented. Many cities actively don't report on the issue in the media.
For example, I've lived in Los Angeles which has hundreds of murders a year. Nearly all of them in the same square mile. And guess how many of those murders make it into the newspaper every day?
Pretty much none of them. Why? Because no one cares. Its boring.
Drug dealers killing drug dealers.
So little twits like you that don't pay attention actually don't know about it. Which is really quite sad.
I'm sorry if I'm being brief with you. But ignorance offends me.
because you completely missed the point... the point is not about some guy that has seen worse in a war decades ago... a guy you personally know NOTHING about and I know far more about then you ever could.
No the point is that someone from different generations despite being exposed on occasion to some nasty stuff might have different reactions to those images in media.
Anyone that has spent any time with people from different generations knows this.
Listen. It is going to happen. And after that happens, you're going to grow old... and you're going to die.
I know... and another thing... santa clause isn't real.
Point?
The sea walls are going to have to be able to take an extra foot of sea level rise over the next 100 years. And your dad bought you that bike. Give him a hug, he loves you a lot.:-)
Nah, I just pointed out how fucking stupid the statement was in a dismissive fashion. That isn't childishness. That is a lack of respect for stupidity.
I did find something else that might be a problem as well. They're not determining political affiliation through self identification but rather through a series of questions about various issues which they then determine to be one thing or another.
That strikes me as possibly problematic as well. A self identification test would be more useful in most cases. People are complex sometimes. A lot of union democrats for example that attend church and don't like heavy immigration. Just as an example.
No, you weren't trying to brow beat me... because apparently you never stopped trying because haven't realized it I'm fucking immune to that rhetorical nonsense.
I am very secure in my intellectual credentials. I am not a stupid or uneducated person. You are not going to rattle me with that crap.
As to your continuing attempt to use this line of logic, it is undermined pretty heavily by the fact that I properly interpreted your intention with the citation. You were indeed trying to associate me with such language which meant my initial response to it was correct.
So please... stop with the this sad attempt to try and get an intellectual one up on me. You tried to be clever and instead managed only to be crude and obvious.
Try again... with something completely different because everything you're using right now is addressed, labeled, and filed away into neat little boxes.
Increasing the height of the dike of course involves making it wider. I didn't think I needed to be that precise?
Do I have to issue engineering specifications with diagrams or can you connect the obvious dots.
There is a ratio between the height of the dike and the width of the dike. Raise it up so much and you have to make it so much wider.
As to needing to completely rebuild it every time it has to be made more massive... that seems unlikely but I'm not a dike engineer. I'll deferr to them on that matter.
Regardless, the waters are going up. So deal with it or grow gills.
As to where I am going and what I am... what could I possibly cite that you'd accept? Tell me and I'll provide it.
We can stand one before the other with the double edged sword of truth pressed against our hearts. Challenge me on this if you like. But I'll accept no challenge unless you hold the blade to your flesh as well as pressing it to mine.
If you presume to question me without putting your own convictions in jeopardy you will find no satisfaction from me.
You'd say that if you knew nothing of the early American space program. Of course, having demonstrated no knowledge of that history your opinion on the matter is pretty much worthless.
As I said, they canceled those programs because they were taking too long. They wanted faster results. So they shifted to a technology that they knew they could make work.
Then I was correct in my original assessment of your intent and I repeat my reply to your statement: "" Right because anything but the current model means I want to literally kill them and eat them.
Jesus fucking Christ this sort of argument is offensively retarded. ""
Why did you correct me if I got guessed your context?
You complained giving the impression that you were just kidding...
I cite Poe's law.
You attempt to brow beat me with your little question about whether or not I speak english as a first language.
And then here we are full circle with it confirmed that my initial assessment was correct thus rendering your subsequent complains self contradictory.
I just looked online to see if there really was no crack for this title. No interest in playing the game mind you... free or not.
It has been cracked.
What they're saying is that in its cracked form it still has the crashes and bugs that the game has normally. They are suggesting that they are working on a more comprehensive crack that strips out the DRM completely enough that it not only permits game play but also improves it beyond what paying customers enjoy.
Also... nothing new. I've downloaded cracks for a lot of games that I bought because the DRM was so offensive that the only way to enjoy the game was to use the crack to strip the DRM off.
Anywho. DRM defeated. First law of computer security wins again.
At the risk of provoking a flame war, from what I saw from the gamergate situation, the rot is well underway at Ars Technica. It was a journalist at their site that started the "games journos pro" message board which probably contributed to a lot of the controversy simply by existing and being secret.
*sprays protective foam over houghi so he can't hurt himself or anyone else.*
*also covers his mouth so he doesn't accidentially say something that hurts anyone's feelings*
*pumps smooth jazz into his ears so he is kept tranquil*
And enjoy your total safe and totally meaningless life.
We go to fucking war on occasion, sport. To slap on armor, grab the most effective means of killing another human being, and go out and collect skulls.
Welcome to the human race.
This notion that you have the right to save me from myself is an abergation of my own civil rights. I have a right to destroy myself. You can't fucking stop me from doing it if I want to.
You ban drugs but you don't ban bleach? Which of the two is going to kill me faster if I inject it into my veins?
You want me to wear a seat belt but for some reason there are all these tall things I can fall off of or leap from?
And lets not forget that I'm driving a car at 70 miles per hour and could at any moment decide to stop suddenly by finding a nice tree... and at those speeds not much of anything is going to save me.
Look, your little nanny state laws are sweet and I know you mean them with the best of intentions. But I am not a child and I don't appreciate your attempt to infantalize me. I am an adult. I don't need you telling me what is good or bad for me. Your are not my mother. And at this age, even if you were my mother, you still wouldn't have the right to dictate shit to me.
So congrats... you got some silly laws on the books that mostly serve to educate complete halfwits that doing really dumb stuff is dumb. *golf clap*
If I want to take a risk shooting myself into space... if that is how I want to spend my life... who the fuck are you to tell me I can't?
And as to judging me? Go right ahead. And expect to be judged right back if that's the game you want to play.
What is wrong with you people? A man DIED for a dream and you asshats are falling all over yourselves to shit on his dream.

They never made it into orbit BECAUSE the project was cancelled. Not because the tech was bad.
Why are some of you so fucking retarded. How many fusion projects have been canceled? Does that mean fusion doesn't work?
Apparently if you're a fucking moron.
That's fine. Keep pissing on a dead man's dream. It makes you look really smart.
Not like an asshat at all. I swear.
They never made it to orbit. The projects were canceled before they could do that because we were in the space race.
I feel like I'm explaining things to infants here.... I've already said all of this before. Why do I have to repeat myself?
Here is one such project cancelled because we didn't have time:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B...
can I see them and see which sort of image separated people?
I see no reason to discuss these things with someone intentionally misunderstanding everything I say.
Good day.
well... you're going to get sea level rises.

Debate is over then. No more needs to be said about global warming ever again.
You completely answered all questions and resolved all questions.
Good job. /s
Nah, I just pointed out how fucking stupid the statement was in a dismissive fashion. That isn't childishness. That is a lack of respect for stupidity.
Oh you're right, we've mastered spaceflight and need not innovate or develop any new technology there what so ever again.
Where are you fuckwits breeding so I know where to spread the rat traps? O.O
Yes, I had you pegged right off the bat. I saw through you nonsense instantly and I apparently caught you off guard it happened so fast.
Next time be more subtle before you spring your little games on people.
Photos are not in that link.

Did you just compare a man that died for the dream of manned spaceflight to Hitler?
