I don't think I'm gonna agree with that. Way too much visual confusion... -- Larry Wall in
Well, this time you managed to make a little more sense, but not much more.
Just a tip, if you always debate at the level of the person you're debating with, the best you can hope for is a tie.
In this case, when I said you make no sense, I meant excactly what I said. You said "You've created the problem" without providing any context at all, leaving me to belive that you mean that I created the problem, which is obviously nonsense. I don't own a gun, and I've never voted.
You also said that I'll have to live (or die) with it, which makes only slightly more sense than the first statement. Still, without defining the original "You", I'm unable to tell exactly what you meant by that. I certainly don't see that there is a problem with the legally owned guns in this country regardless of who you mean will have to deal with it.
When you say "until we get rid of them all", my best guess is that you mean get rid of all the guns, but that's also ridiculous. Short of killing every person who knows how to make a gun, every person who would want to discover how to do it again, every text describing how to make a gun, and then every gun in existance, you'll never get rid of them all.
Maybe now you can understand what I meant when I said that you make no sense.
Also, getting back to my original question, since you will never be able to get rid of all the guns, what will you do when someone threatens you with one?,
Meh... all that theory is great, but when you can see exactly what they're doing, it doesn't do them much good.
By now, most people are so familiar with advertising tatics that it just makes the advertisers look like amateurs when they go for the things that used to really hit on a low psychological level, unless they find a new and interesting way to do it.
There was one commercial I remember, where they actually stated that repetition of their name would help you remember it, and the guy was cutting deli meat, and the name of the business was on his shirt... and lol I can't remember the name of the business. Pretty sure they made subs, but it wasn't Quiznos.
Anyway, if a company wants to sell me something, they need to make a good product. There's really nothing else that works. I don't buy poorly made clothes that have a good advertising campaign, my computer never (well, rarely:P) crashes because I researched it and went with components known for stability, my cellphone gets excellent reception, and the food I eat is both delicious and nutritious.
Hmm. I can't think of a way to end this post, because I'm all hopped up on cold medicine. I'm pretty sure I said some intelligent things though, so I'll submit it without and ending. Worked for Chaucer.
I don't know why these sites bother with that line of bull, although I can guess.
Some dumbass started a rumor that if you put that disclaimer on your site, it'll keep you from getting arrested or will help you in court.
Just like the rumor that cops have to tell you they're a cop, this isn't true. They'll lie right to your face and arrest you as soon as you sell them the sheet of acid, and it won't do a damn thing for you in court.
All those "disclaimers" do is make you look like a tard. For your own good, just stop. The only reason you haven't gotten sued yet is you haven't been caught.
To some extent, I agree with your point. It is kind of childish to use M$, Microshaft, etc. (although MICROS~1 still cracks me up... I'm a geek, sue me). I do have serious issues with the amount of control they want to have over my computer, however, so I don't use their stuff.
The problem is, as you've realized, this IS Slashdot. Not only is it positively FILLED with MS-hating Linux geeks, but it's run by an OS company. If you can't deal with seeing anti-MS comments, what are you doing here? If you wonder why there's very few anti-Linux comments, you need to realize that your colon doesn't have any answers.
Yeah. I just said you've got your head up your ass.

It's not a koan though, it's just wrong and doesn't make any sense that way. If I mediate on it I'll start drooling.
Bleh. I cancelled my account because they STILL don't have vehicles in the game.

Oh, I believe it. I wouldn't doubt anything I read on my 48" diamond monitor.

Ah, but what do you do when a coward points an abolished gun at you?

I don't eat salad.
That's what food eats.
Well, I can reload an M16, M60, and M9 in less than a second, so a shotgun with a clip isn't too much of a stretch.
As for slowing down time... well, that's nothing a 10 strip won't fix.
Meh... I'm 5' 7", and I'll bet I could kick his ass. Tall people are slow, and lose leverage when you get in close.

By your logic they should be named GNU/Gnome
News flash, Gnome IS a GNU project.
Except for the fact that an arithmetic expression is not a valid lval.

We don't like him either. After all, we'd rather elect a dead man than John Ashcroft.
I hate you.
