well the problem with that is a gun is not a very aerodynamically sound shape. It would probably start tumbling right out of the barrel and lose velocity far too quickly to have any kind of range. Firing bullets was the proper choice here, let's not armchair quarterback their decisions too much, okay?
In one of Malcolm Gladwell's books (forget which one, also take with a grain of salt) The reason that Rosa Parks set things off the way she did wasn't so much about her, but who she knew.
Namely, she had a rather large network of social contacts that could be used to rally to her cause. Had she been the exact same person, but a shut in -- it wouldn't have happened the same way.
Such a backwards, awful point of view to have. In the US we have this concept of 'cruel and unusual punishment'. Inmates, while in the care of the state being raped in prison absolutely falls into that category -- the fact that our prison system tolerates that kind of behavior is terrible.
But perhaps humans and wolves, sharing a common ancestor have the same type of receptors -- able to detect the same compounds. With the only difference being acuity?:)
Thank you for your service to your country AC. We'll inform the Joint Chiefs of your novel recommendations and have them implement it immediately. Not a one in the entire chain of command thought of these points, at all.
I have my smart phone in my pocket at the gym, and my 30 dollar mp3 player in my arm band.
Bluetooth headphones seem to either be wicked uncomfortable (plantronic backbeats) or exquisitely sensitive to sweat (Motorola). So it's nice being able to listen to music over corded headphones, and still have the smartphone available to do whatever in between sets.
Also the mp3 player just fucking 'works' on demand. Spotify seems to crash about 50% of the time and requires a reboot of the phone.
Also having the headphone jack come out, then having my phone broadcast my horrible taste of music over its speaker after accidentally touching the screen/volume buttons -- was embarrassing enough to ensure it happened just once:)
i don't think it's even psychology or training programmes, it's the extreme tails of human genetic ability, and finding those really really fucking rare individuals who have the traits necessary to break rcords.
If a sport becomes popular (basketball in the USA, track in Jamaica), more individuals are drawn to those activities. And as a result the odds of finding someone who's genetically gifted for that event increase.
Human beings are not different in a genetic sense before or after Bannister broke the 4 minute mile barrier; what has changed is a wider pool of people competing.
These universities only exist to suck money from the department of education, and have nothing to do with actually educating or producing people with skills.
(traditional schools and their palatial grounds and constant build projects are an entirely different topi.)
The only point I was making is that Japan did not attack Pearl Harbor out of the blue. It was a direct response to embargoes placed on them by the US.
And, yes, the US was entirely in the right in placing them. Cutting off the Japanese supply of oil would have crippled Japan's war effort. Which was the entire point of the embargo. Sensing their vulnerability, the Japanese decided to attack the US, in attempt to disable the pacific fleet, and secure their access to oil.
in all seriousness, when national pride is insulted, the french are complete dicks. I could see them hosting asange and snowden and telling the US to get bent.

it's okay to out drive your headlights, it's when you drive faster than your angel can fly that you run into troubles.
or an un-diagnosed heart condition. which is surprisingly common.

In this context aren't you supposed to say "master-race whiner"?

Nah, he had his buddies Samir and Michael do it for him.
doesn't mean he's wrong.

agent smith plz go.
I in fact have empirical evidence that ponies do in fact exist. Check your sources!

So very very cringe-worthy, it's like a freshman abusing the fuck out of a thesaurus while writing his very first college essay.

you do realize the US (justifiably) goaded them into pearl harbor right? Something about an oil embargo...
You have obviously never played Civilization. You can even goad Gandhi into dropping nukes on you if you spy on him sufficiently.
Go play and then get back to us.
