Rather a lot of bullets are spent on paper and animal targets. More than 1% of the total, guaranteed.
A significant portion of the vs-person use of guns is justified and legal and occurs every day all around the world. Self-defense and apprehension of criminals being the two most common examples.
Using extreme exaggeration as an appeal to authority is self-defeating. Easpecially when you attempt to lay down 'the truth'.
We only have about 50 people here, and to be honest there are only a few offices that are completely enclosed (mine happens to be one of them). If there's a serious problem brewing, someone gets on the building intercom and makes an announcement.
But yeah, it's pretty shitty, just not for that reason.
Clearly you've never worked at a facility that didn't allow radios or televisions, or had outside windows easily viewable from all locations.
Some of us work in functional caves, and only get to see the outside world a few times a day. My office, the server room, is like this. I'm in here pretty much all day. Sometimes the drive-home weather is a surprise..
Haha, you actually put me on your 'enemies' list? Yeah, that'll teach me a lesson! Hahahaha
What is that supposed to be, some kind of punishment? Heh. Ooo, I'm quivering... with laughter =)
Think about it.. are you so incapable of handling the occasional retort or argument (which you started, and in a very rude manner, by the way), that you have to lean on a filter as a crutch?
Well, I'm proud to be the first of no doubt many of your Foes. You are truly enlightened. *snicker*
Yes, exactly. It's all bullshit to me. Bullshit in the sense that it doesn't matter to me what they're talking about. Whether it's on a cellphone or not. I'm not passing judgement on the intelligence or content of their conversations, I'm saying I don't give a shit. There are multiple meanings of that phrase, you know.
I don't care that they're talking to someone about what the fuck ever they're talking about. I care because that act of talking on a cellphone inevitably distracts the bloody crap out of them and causes them to be an annoyance or danger to others. Considerably more so than talking to someone right there beside them.
Never mind that they're generally not paying attention to anything other than said bullshit conversation, and tend to do stupid shit like -
) Forget they're driving. This is Not Good with a capital WTF. ) Be totally oblivious that they're blocking an aisle or line in the store/restaurant/whatever. ) Talk really loudly as if they're the only ones in the general vicinity. ) ??? ) Get stabbed in the face - profit!
That's the point.. it tries.. it tries real hard. Too hard. To the point of erasing any gains it might have made - it just ends up being a self-parody.
Don't get me wrong, I have it on DVD, absolutely love the movie, it's fun, and the music is great. But it's not the book, and as I said before, the message gets lost.
The book may be anti-war, but the movie is just dumb violent entertainment with small but perky tits thrown in for gratuity. The message got lost in the making.
Haha, I got my wife hooked on WoW too.. and now she's demanding I upgrade her computer or otherwise make it so we can both play at the same time. What's funny is that she's made comments like yours, scolding me for addicting her to it, especially when she loses track of time.
Works for me - I get an AMD64 upgrade, she gets my old rig, and we both get to game.
Hope you two get lots of quality time together with it. I'm looking forward to it myself.

Because Doc's hideously trite and childish dialogue will numb your brain and make your skin twist and crack.
The story lines are great. If all his characters could just shut their traps and not talk to each other, that'd be so much better.
Ok, maybe it's not that bad. But it leaves something to be desired, that's for sure.
...or your tires.
Bah, that's not a 1:1 scale X-Wing or astromech droid... so disappointing =)

My signature may be of some help in this matter.
That presupposes all corporations are always participating in deceitful and/or duplicitous behaviour, and that is simply not true.
Shill != generic PR agent, it has a specific and negative definition.

Wow. Your office has a window? You lucky freak =)

Poostabber!
Eh.. anyone with a positive outlook on Longhorn is gonna get called a shill (especially here), their contract status with Microsoft notwithstanding.
Have at it. You want em, you code em.

Thanks for the insult. Your name is appropriate.

He misspelled 'athwart'
So that's the sound of One Hand Spanking... man, generating that frequency must hurt, though.
Someone complaining about complaining about someone complaining about a complaint about Star Wars??
Inconcievable!
HA HA!

A topic that the Slashdot editors are intimately familar with!
Yeah, but damned if it doesn't look like some freaked out crack addict trying to find new parts of her body to whore out.
There's business sense, and then there's "Holy fuck, I could sell my own taintstain for cash, at least one person is sure to want that!"
Only in front of the camera.. you should see him and Kirstie go at the munchies backstage...
