Well, as much as I hate "Big Content providers" and their shills, I can totally see why Activision does not want to see its content in NK propaganda video.
No it is not BS. It does take more that just a simple comparation. This is why serious scientific studies need to be conducted.
There should be a reason why the murder rate and gun violence in US is 3 times higher than in other countries with comparable living standards. And guns are not off that table.
You do understand that he will lose all those thousands of free bodyguards once he is out of office, don't you? This has nothing to do with his personality, only with his current TEMPORARY position. Please stop this king BS.
So, it looks like you are totally fine with him signing tough gun laws, as long as this is the last thing he does right before leaving the office?
I said nothing about them following or not following the law. The point I was making is that they are not supposed to use weapons beyond what is available to everybody.
Criminals use illegal weapons, that does not give *you* any right to do so. Otherwise it is just a race to the bottom.
You private body guards are obviously not anything like regular police, because they are not regular police (duh).
Note, I'm not talking about president's security here, because comparing his need for security to the average citizen's need for security is just plain stupid.
I never said any of that, so I'm not even sure you are replying to my comment.
Police is not perfect, but machine guns in every house is not a solution. Better police work is a solution, that seems to be working quite well in civilized countries.

Unless copyright claims is how they are planning to cope with real nuclear shots from NK.
Well, it only takes one user to find it and tell everybody about it. I would argue that Open Source systems are at better position here.
Yes, but Python is still an interpreted language and very slow compared to Fortran.
Nope, it's not. Never was.
I second this.
While JavaScript get an enourmous amount of hate, at the moment it is probably the easiest way to get into the field.
Dunno, I only *wish* it gave me enough rope so I can finally hang up myself and not have to support it anymore.
That is exactly what GP said, US didn't cut back in accordance with Keynesian economy
P.S. No fucking clue what that is, just parsing the discussion for you.

Well, seems to be working fine for driver's license. Or is it OK that currently it is easier to get a gun than to get a DL?

Where did I say it in this comment of mine: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3426877&cid=42762891 ?
Yep, I did some trolling in this discussion (mostly after I saw fucktards modding me -1, disagree), but that comment ain't it.

So how much security does The President need, in your opinion?
Check out the nice company the US is in.
Well, everybody who is against some basic gun control, like proper background check and mandatory training is a gun lunatic in my book.
So, Mr. Reasonable, what exactly is Flamebait about my post?
Google John Kennedy. Sure worked for him.
Well, this was obviously a hyperbole, but apparently, not enough of a hyperbole for a current situation in US. Should I have said tanks?
Well, what can I say... Holy shit!
And this article says that it was illegal for them to do so, thus confirming my point.
Are you really comparing the level of threat the president is under to the level of threat the average citizen is under?
I totally agree they should.
However, this question works both ways: why right never seem to propose that? Wouldn't it benefit the law abiding gun owners too?
