Ok, how many Arabic muslim passengers have hijacked an American airliner? Ok, compare that to the number of caucasians, asians, hispanics, blacks, etc. who have done the same and you will see that profiling is *NOT* incorrect.
The Serbs aren't the only ones who do this, even such civilized folks as the Japanese discriminate against their own native ethnic minorities,and don't let immigrants become citizens.
Whoa! I love that sentence. So Serbs are uncivilized? Hahahahahaha. What a slur! Good going, very civilized.
Uh, what I think he meant w/ that statement was
even the Japanese who are so advanced culturally and technologically are even racist... not that the Serbs are uncivilized. Of course, you were just looking for any flaw in his argument... but finding none, you decided to nitpick w/ words. Kudos. Now please go die.
If you actually look at the number of terrorists who appear Arabic and compare them to our own "home-grown, fundamentalist white" variety, then you'll surely see that history has shown there are MANY more Arabs or Arabic-looking ppl who have committed these types of atrocities.
Of course, if you wanted to profile "crazy, government overthrowing Christians" then you could look at the Timothy McVeigh types.
Have you ever seen a kung-fu practitioner in a serious no-holds barred tournament? There's a reason that every seriously competitive fighter learns grappling... and please, don't give me that "go learn kung-fu" bs. I have studied kung-fu, jeet kune do, and grappling.
Kung-Fu, Karate and Tae Kwon Do are largely considered useless when it comes to (mostly) no-holds barred fighting tournaments (Pride, Pancreas, to a lesser extent UFC). What has dominated those events in the past and the foreseeable future is ground grappling, and of the ground grappling techniques, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is considered the best. Although I'm a huge fan of stand-up fighting, I have yet to see a pure stand-up fighter beat a BJJ or BJJ Hybrid stylist.
Uh, yes... many ppl have the same DNA code as Barbara Streisand, just as it's very simple to forge fingerprints.
Realistically, this type of ID program will not be used in the forseeable future, because people will not stand for it and/or it would require too much work to implement (imagine implanting chips into EVERYONE in the US? And you thought the line for the DMV was long...).
Yeah, first they take away our guns, then force us to use their designated i.d. cards "drivers licenses", then they install Trojans into everyones computers!
I mean, w/out our guns we'll never be able to fight the british off, if we're forced to use i.d.s they can find out ALL KINDS OF PERSONAL INFO, and if they have the Trojans on computers, they can INSTANTLY SIEZE MY GIGS OF PORN AND GAMES!
Actually, I believe that the vandalism occurred more because of his gaming attitude (cocky, egotistical, liar), rather than his previous history of cheating.
Nope, you're wrong. StarCraft has enough strategy involved to keep many occupied. By oversimplifying it w/ the statement "Just 'how fast I can click on build Grunt button'." shows how little you really know about the game.
I find this humorous because about half of the posts regarding this topic were about films given unfairly "mature" ratings (R, NC-17) whereas you point out the fact that most movies that don't have mature ratings are usually the ones that aren't the blockbuster hits.

Mod up, AC makes damn good point.

It's all in what you're looking for.
You are an idiot

Lol. This is a troll because the mod doesn't know what I'm talking about. Might as well label it flamebait too...
Lol.

Remember this thread when ppl were arguing that SlashDot is *NOT* a journalistic site and is merely a news weblog w/ comments?

I guess whatever argument supports their belief that SlashDot is good and true...

Heh.
We all know the moderators here are idiots too. That's why SlashDot had to implement "meta-moderating" =P.
Hehe... guess this is not a sport because you suck at it...
This is modded as "interesting" instead of "troll" or "flamebait" because...?

Nope, rated "troll" because he made a stupid remark, not because he didn't know. Idiot.
It suffers from the usual dvd slow access and load times.
Hm... I guess you've never actually *played* a game on a GC before, eh?
I have a PS2, and it's the worst $300 I've spent in my life.
Of course, you are dissecting a post that's moderated as "Troll"... ;/
It also works for "hardcore linux nut". Heh.
I have a ps2 and it sucks ass. Only notable titles for it are GT3, TTT, and MGS2. Worse $300+ dollars I spent in my life.
Uh, no... not until after Christmas, by earliest. Definitely not when the GC is released.
Idiot.
