Look, someone's already modded me down for even daring to say it out loud. We've become such a bunch of delicate pansies in the West that it's little wonder we're losing.
Of course, anyone pointing out in the West that the religion (and region) is becoming increasingly radicalized has committed the ultimate sin of political incorrectness. We must pretend that all Muslims are peace-loving, reasonable, people who just love and respect women. The idea that the medieval, violent, and intolerant strain of the religion is becoming more and more mainstream in the Middle East and Asia every day MUST NOT be spoken of publicly.
Ask him if they were just meant in jest. It certainly doesn't sound like it to me.
And the issues of whether or not he should be locked up or forced to receive treatment are separate ones. My contention is that the guy is mentally ill and this is a sad situation, not one to be celebrated as some sort of blow for intellectual freedom. This isn't some dissident advocating revolution. It's the rantings of an unhinged paranoid schizophrenic who's obviously out of touch with reality and in need of help. Regardless or whether he should be locked up or not, or whether his posts fall into the realm of free speech, it's just sad. I don't know what this guy's war experience was like, or whether it contributed to this, but I do wonder why the people around him let it come to this without someone stepping in beforehand saying "Hey man, I think you need help." Maybe someone did and he just refused.
Yeah, I could say a bunch of crazy shit and then threaten the President and I'm pretty sure they would come lock me up too. That wouldn't make the crazy shit any more true.
“If you are my friend, you deserve to know the truth. This world is secretly run by a shadow organization of people who among other things enjoy raping children. Some of leaders were involved with the bombing of the twin towers. It was a sacrifice and a complete inside job. Also the Bush’s are very sick twisted problems. I believe they have a secret Castle in Colorado where they have been raping and sacrificing children for many years. Think I’m crazy? Think again.”
On the fact that I've been to George Bush's child-raping castle and can verify that there are absolutely no child sacrifices going on. It's strictly rape, no killing. To suggest otherwise is obviously crazy.
No more certain than I can be that unicorns aren't real, of course. I can only presume that the press would be woefully inadequate (even more so than usual) to have missed either George Bush's secret child-raping castle or all the horned, magical horses flying around shitting rainbows.
How, exactly, do you know this? You have the qualifications to set a diagnosis and have enough data to comfortably do so?
Well, I suppose it's always possible that the homeless guy at the subway station who's talking to invisible people and carrying around a jar of his own urine ISN'T actually mentally ill, but is in fact a psychic who can talk to the dead--but only with the help of concentrated urine. Only a Ph.D. in Psychology can pierce through that unknown veil and reveal the truth of the matter (since part of the Psychology Ph.D. program at any major university involves learning to distinguish the real conspiracies/psychics/mediums/etc. from the fake ones, presumably). Until then, we should all probably give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's just as likely that he's NOT mentally ill (until we can find a board-certified Psychologist to tell us differently).
Or, maybe the homeless guy is making a giant meta-joke on the world. Being a homeless guy talking to invisible people is secretly all part of his MFA thesis performance art piece entitled "Homeless Guy Who Appears Mentally Ill, But Isn't." Again, since there is no way to be sure, we should probably treat this as equally a possibility.
I don't know if this guy was ever a real threat to anyone or not, but he certainly isn't some super-patriot or free speech hero. He's mentally ill, and really does need help (even if you can't force it). The guy seriously believes that George W. Bush is living in a secret castle in Colorado where he rapes and sacrifices children. He also believes that Bush not only planned 9-11, but serves a world shadow government who also seem to spend most of their time raping and sacrificing children (when they're not planning world domination, I guess).
Whatever you think of the free speech issues involved, please don't celebrate this dude. He's very sick and needs help.
They want it that way. I've seen American prisons on the TV and it scares the fuck out of me. I'd not commit a crime in the US. Fear the man. Mind you, If I copy a file here, the UK
Ironic, since every depiction of UK prisons I've seen in movies and TV make them look a lot worse than any American prison I've ever seen. They look like dungeons, (compared to much cleaner and generally newer U.S. facilities). Despite fictional exaggeration, the only problems with American prisons are:
a) so many people are in them (making some of them crowded). b) racial problems
I suspect we'll get an announcement from MS around the end of the year that they'll be releasing the NeXbox (or whatever it's called) for Christmas 2013. But then again, I thought that they would do that last year too. Sony will probably follow shorttly thereafter. Neither is going to let the Wii U stand for too long unchallenged.
I didn't want to give Ubisoft any money. I never buy a console version of a PC game just because of DRM for the same reason.
You can always buy a DRM'ed game used on a console (an option you don't have with PC versions anymore). You don't have to pirate, you still get to play it, and the studio doesn't get a dime. Everybody wins!
Are you serious? A Ubisoft game won't run on a system with a DVD burner drive?!?!?
Jesus, no wonder people pirate their games. I'm not even a big anti-DRM zealot and even I wouldn't put up with that shit. Every system I own has a DVD burner.
I want a console that never requires me to upgrade or look at a "System Requirements" label on the game I'm buying. Does your "PC" console satisfy those criteria?
The traditional lifespan between consoles is 5 years, going all the way back to the Atari 2600 days. This time, MS is now at 6 years old with no new console in sight, and Sony is at 5 years, also with no new console in sight. A lot of developers are getting nervous, and a lot of franchises are growing stale.
“Nintendo Land” is basically just a series of mini-games based on Nintendo’s most successful franchises, as the company desperately clings to its past to remain relevant.
You've basically just described 95% of the Nintendo games that have come out since the Wii released. Seeing a game that ISN'T just a bunch of mini-games has become unusual. Looks like they're looking to follow suite with minigames on the Wii U too, which sucks, as it's their first console with the hardware muscle to really run the latest gen games.

Can you prove to me that Fairies aren't real?
Yeah, I could say a bunch of crazy shit and then threaten the President and I'm pretty sure they would come lock me up too. That wouldn't make the crazy shit any more true.
I would reply to your question, as if you were serious, but it would be unfair of me to assume you're not just trolling.

And you're basing this diagnosis on what exactly?
On the fact that I've been to George Bush's child-raping castle and can verify that there are absolutely no child sacrifices going on. It's strictly rape, no killing. To suggest otherwise is obviously crazy.
How can you be certain he is wrong?

One of the new T-Mobile plan's flaws, though, is that it cannot be used for tethering
Thought the FCC case recently required carriers to allow tethering, or is that just for Verizon?

Not to mention the fact that discs spin in the opposite direction down in Australia.
