LOL, good riddance. You're a typical leftie that plays coy, can't concede anything, plays dumb, over-reacts. Sad that you're so inane, ignorant, and stupid that you find facts and logic boring.
Calm down you irrational, emotional, over-reacting liberal. You should really open your mind and stop being ignorant - FOX News would do you good, as opposed to any of the other heavily biased to the left networks.
You make no sense. I don't think teaching kids how to pretend to kill each other is a good thing. And certain items have no place at school: guns, knives, drugs, etc. Unfortunately kids these days bring REAL guns to school, so even fake guns are assumed to be real at first (and second) look. But of course an imbecile like you would think bring fake bombs to school and having a pretend bomb threat scare would think it's just all in good fun. Gee, maybe dump talcum powder in the ventilation system too! Get a clue.
Right. A tiny red tip at the end of a barrel is REAL easy to see when you have a split-second to decide whether to shoot to try to protect your life.
Cops have far more common sense than dolts like you with an elementary school level brain. Lacking in common sense are people who think it's a good idea to point realistic replicas of guns at others.
Heh, sure. Compression tests would be more scientific and all that. But no match for the fun and show of openly igniting big bins of gas. I'm sure I'll find they're all in fact the same octanes:P.
It's all part of a conspiracy by the oil companies. Haven't you ever heard of the super-secret device that allows automobiles to run off of water? It really exists! The octanes is just another inside scam - automobiles can recognize which octane nozzle is inserted, then the engine is pre-programmed to run accordingly.
Ok, I'll call you ignorant then. Octane is just a made up term. They don't do any testing either. Stop making stuff up. It's obvious you've never worked at a gas station.
Nah, it's the same principle as the film processing. People spend loads of money on flashy sports cars and huge SUVs and want to think they're putting "better" stuff in their tanks. Pretend to give 'em want they want, and charge them for the privilege.
It's why Weird Al Yankovic gets the copyright holder's permission before publishing his parody songs
Really? Where'd you read that? From what I've read, he tries to get permission, but it isn't required. That's why Coolio was so upset - said Al never asked his permission, but there wasn't much he could do about it.

Wow.
Enjoy your blissful ignorance and hypocrisy.
Dear Friends,
The linked-to site is slashdotted. I have generously set up a mirror for it. Please visit this page:

Probably takes more than that. AFter all, Activision supposedly leaked the E3 demo of Doom 3, and they're still a "friend".

Gee, a condescending Brit - what are the odds?? Just remember who saved your ass in two world wars. Tell your other ungrateful Youreapeeins too.
Heh, sure. Compression tests would be more scientific and all that. But no match for the fun and show of openly igniting big bins of gas. I'm sure I'll find they're all in fact the same octanes :P.
Aahhh. I'll have to see if we can try bin-sorting the gas at our station :P. See which burns with a match, a torch, magnesium.
Can you elaborate on "bin-sorting"?
Put regular tap water in your fuel tank. Don't use bottled water, well unless you feel your car needs some sort of pretend pampering.

Sure you can. They'd probably be so embarrassed and even give you a discount.
I believe it. I work at a gas station and all the various octanes (85-91) come from the EXACT SAME tank.
Yeah, jokes where you pretend to shoot people with real-looking cap guns is REAL funny. Try it on a real cop sometime.

The song should be renamed: This land is my land, your land is my land.
Erm, no. That'd be the government signing it, under socialism.
