File your infringement claims against the banks and wall-street. If it was CLS Bank Vs. Alice you fucking know right well it wouldn't have turned out the same.
No one has lived more than 120 years you say? All of them were decrepit and tied to a hospital bed? So what? Oh, you think my 200 years alive requirement is unreasonable? how so?
Fuck the "the world is flat" or "a sea-route connecting the east-west." What about traveling around the world in 24 hours, or turning on a light just by flipping switch? I'm serious, in the future, you won't even need a flint to turn on the light! I tell you, it won't even use fire!
If they thought that was amazing, these days we can send instantaneous messages across the globe w/o utilizing any kind of physical connection, not even radio or laser. We did it using quantum mechanics. You're a fool if you think the 20th century was as far as humans were going to go, as if we were just going to all the sudden quit advancing our technology. At this next level of technology the "reality" you keep preaching about starts to break down.
This. I thought exactly the same thing. It's like, I have a 20 year old toaster, I made toast in it 4 years ago. So, that means it has to be a 24 year old toaster?
Bullshit. There is a clinic that would pay people 40 bucks a pop per "plasma" donation.
I used to go there back when I was making minimum wage and flip an ounce of my plasma into a silver bullion coin once every week. That's almost 3 pounds of silver a year just to be at 90% strength for a few hours instead of 100. They would also test your blood for infection, your sugar / protean levels and what not, so it was a way to monitor your health and actually get paid for it.
PS: If you really have no pretext for this discussion, the only "strict gun laws" that ever get passed are "assault rifle" bans and limits on the number of firearms a person can own. Like i said, neither of those things are going to cause anyone to disarm.
You act like the criminals have no choice of who they rob. If they know a house is home to "gun people" they'll just target the guy down the street. Anyway, I'm not going to argue that point. Just look up the amount of homes registered as owning a gun with relation to time, you'll notice gun ownership by household doesn't change very much (no where near 50%, hyperbole? really?) whether or not "strict" gun laws are in place.
So like you said, criminals aren't stupid, they'll just pick a home that doesn't have "gun people" in it, and really, it's not going to matter if that house has 20 AKs, only one, or a couple of handguns, you can only shoot one or two of them at one. As for the rest, I'm going to have to call bullshit on your statement that laws preventing the ownership of 6 or more guns causes 50% of gun owners to disarm themselves.
According to this Ad Absurdum logic, dropping sand-bags in an at-risk hurricane zone actually causes the hurricane. Ever see hurricanes hit where NOBODY is getting prepared? No? Well, there you go, responding to a hurricane caused that hurricane, just like responding to a flux in gun violence caused that flux in gun violence.
PS: I don't advocate the removal of any of our constitutional rights, just the abandonment of shitty logic. Don't look so surprised, of course your regurgitated politically rhetoric is going to contain a dozen logical fallacies, it was drummed up to incite argument, not to dig into the root causes, that might *ghasp* bring closure to the argument and no politician wants that.
OP's logical failure is called the fallacy of the single cause. After half a dozen logic classes and 4 textbooks... I wouldn't be so quick to judge his professors, but it's odd someone could pass a logic course without knowing basic ELEMENTARY logic.

So If i hit a 90 degree turn at 200mph some equal and opposite force is going to keep my car from flipping over? Why don't you make a youtube video demonstrating this?

And nobody was arguing whether or not they were correct in defining it how they did. The only argument is that is how it was defined, not whether it was accurate or correct to define it.
Whether or not it's true is how you define "retarded". Most idiots would think of some down syndrome patient masturbating on the short buss with drool coming out of his mouth. That isn't how "retardation" was defined in the DSM, it wasn't invented to be nor was it always a derogatory word. Stricly speaking I myself am retarded, I have bi-polar.
Medically speaking most of the population has some form of retardation or another. Pretending your weaknesses are posative attributes won't make them go away or stop them from causing you difficulty in life.

Since we're talking about logical fallacies, nice Red Herring there, but citing an authority's position isn't an "appeal" to the said authority unless you were arguing that same position, which nobody is. All he was saying is that "suffering from mental illness" is the politically correct slang for calling someone a "retard", and that Autism is a mental illness.

Please, tell me more about how a person who spends 80 years staring into space, pissing and shitting themselves, and not responding to stimuli shouldn't be judged to have something wrong with them.
If there is something wrong with a person behaving in such a way, and a another person behaves the same way to some extent, while not as severe but for none the less the same reasons, then wouldn't they also have, to some extent, the same something wrong with them?
PS: "Locality" vs "Non-locality" are elementary ideas in quantum mechanics, if you aren't aware of their basic meaning then why should anyone waste their time trying to explain them to you. Do you think the world owes you answers just because you're too lazy to look them up yourself? In the most basic terms these ideas aren't even difficult to understand-- phenomenon that are unexplained by, that contradict classical physics.
For example, one branch of Quantum Computing is projected to accommodate instant network communication across any distances, that is, a network connection to Mars could have a 10ms ping as the connection would rely on entanglement and not radio waves.
"non-locality" would be the only thing that would make quantum computing a novel process. Otherwise, it's sort-of like an electric car, using new tech to solve old problems.
If you didn't know, building a "quantum computer" is about more than ramping up the GHz and shrinking die space.
No one would take him seriously unless he's an arrogant moron? Do you take arrogant morons seriously, is "seriously" how arrogant morons should be taken? Wait, silly question, obviously you take them VERY seriously. lmao.
Because there aren't any programs like that already. (sarcasm) My college tuition was free because my single working mother and I lived below the poverty level (I know, so much white privilege). I noticed the state isn't discriminating (the way liberals mind) either, there are more non-whites getting on the Pell-Grant than whites.
Yeah, sure, *nothing* has ever been done and all white people were born with silver spoons.
I remember something similar, except there weren't any girls in 1301. During the course of the whole program I remember one girl in one of the intermediate classes. I tried fraternizing with her once, but she wasn't having it so I just left her alone, like she wanted. Anyway that's besides the point, should the CS program at my college have only accepted 1 male student so they could keep an equal male-female ratio? Seems silly to me.
I grew up on video games. My first system was an Atari 2600, then a NES, then an SNES. I also had a 386 DX 16 with PC Geos on it. Wolfenstein 3d on a PC without a sound-card was the first PC game I ever played. I didn't find it very entertaining, the SNES, I thought, was superior.
I had recently made friends with some kids down the street. There were 6 of them living in one house, most of them older than me, but the younger ones about the same age. Anyway, they were also gamers, but they were PC gamers. They hada 486 DX2 66mhz with 4mb ram and a sound card. They showed me a game called Doom. HOLY SHIT I was blown away. Doom was leaps and bounds ahead of anything else I had ever played, I begged my mom to buy me a PC.
This was all before the Internet "happened". My first PC was a Pentium 75 with 5 gigs of ram, soundblaster, and 1gb hard drive. Around the time Windows 95 came out I signed up with a local dial-up ISP. I discovered the the World Wide Web. There was a cli app that would let you change the graphics and sound data in Doom's WAD files. I had recently bought a computer scanner, and I spent about a month taking pictures of my family, working on bloody death animations, and calling them into my room to voice various sounds that I would edit and use in my version of the game, "Family Doom".
I guess that was my first go at "hacking." Later I got a job at that same ISP that I had origially signed up with. There I learned the basics of TCP/IP networking, Linux, and the Internet. It was amazing having access to a T1 back in the days before broadband. I guess I wasn't a hacker, but I had a solid "script kiddie" status.I was also earning a little bit of money, being 15 and not having any bills, I used the money to start building my own rig from parts. Overclocking became a hobby of mine, I got my A+ certification a couple years later.
I didn't start coding until my late teen/early 20s. I had tons of experience editing config files, or working on the command line, but I hadn't a clue about programming. I knew Doom and Quake were written in a language called C, so I downloaded Visual Studio Express 2003 and looked up the tutorials on cprogramming.com . After going through those tutorials I decided to enroll in my local college under the Computer Science program.
The most surprising non-academic thing I learned was that most of my professors were clueless when it came to computer literacy. They could write C or Java code in their sleep, but they were oblivious to basic computing. One professor couldn't even navigate a FAT/NTFS filesytem, a C drive? What's that? That's when I knew that the kind of education I had was different. I'm not some book-learned CS grad, although I do appreciate academics, I was and am a hacker first.
I guess OSX is just a bunch of recorded keypressess too. Leave it to a liberal to present the most influential document of our time as scratches on a piece of paper.
Not even sure if "liberal" even fits you, they at least seem to place value on penmanship and the written word. I guess you never went to college, or if you did the English dept failed you. Look up "Reduction Fallacy", it's the exact same fallacy those "gun nutters" use when they say "guns don't kill people...."
