  1. Re:Make love not war on Child Gets Nintendo 3DS Full of Porn For Christmas · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Fundies support it, even if not openly, when they hide or relocate a priest that diddles boys.

    Thats one of the most retarded thoughts I've seen in ages.

    You think that hiding something you aren't proud of is the same as consenting? Wow, just wow. 'Fundies' don't 'support it' you idiot, otherwise they would be all about letting people know they do it. You typically hide things you don't want others knowing you do because you don't think its acceptable to be doing it. Your logic is about as ass backwards as it gets.

    If you think it's unacceptable, then why hide it and HELP the perpetrator? A criminal should be dragged to court and receive trial. Hiding his crime(s) so it doesn't make your community look bad is dishonest and hypocrite at best. If one claims morals to be important, one should follow them and set an example.
    In my opinion everyone involved in such hush ups should be arrested as an accessory. They are basically saying "Well this guy raped you, but it would be bad PR to call the police. He's probably sorry, so we'll just give him a new job in a place, where no one knows about his special interests. - Oh and don't tell anybody or we'll make your life even more miserably."
    If you hide evidence of a serious crime you are at the very least obstructing justice and have voided all authority to speak on morals.

    I would be surprised if more less than 70% were fake. And facebook brought this onto themselves. All those no skill whatsoever "social games" where one always needed to invite more friends in order to succeed caused almost every single player to set up a few sock puppets.

  9. Re:typical on Facebook Ordered To End Its Real Name Policy In Germany · · Score: 1

    Bad move. Cutting off lots of users because of a disagreement with the local law (which favors the users by the way) will make it clear for other users, that facebook can cut of their service at anytime they like. This would also be very, very bad PR in Germany and probably the rest of Europe and make the look even more Big Brother than they already are. Many companies will drop their ads from facebook (at least for a while) in order to profit on the good pr they would get for doing so.

    I would say the right to use a nickname protects your freedom of speech a lot. Especially in connection with services like facebook.
    Also I don't see why anyone except the bears should have a right to their arms.

    And why does the EU use 112? Because we use 911. Seemed like the perfect reason to them.

    112 is used because 111 could be dialed by accident (hanging up a few times) on old pulse dial phones.

  21. Re:Why not both? on ITU To Choose Emergency Line For Mobiles: 911, or 112? · · Score: 1

    The point is with a mobile phone you sometimes don't know which network you'll be connecting to. It might even be a foreign network if you're near a boarder. This works nicely and in a standard way (it might not be your phone you're using) with a common number (or set of numbers). Otherwise you would need an "Emergency" Icon (which language) or button on the phone, that had to be unremovable, prominent and not to easily buttdialable.
    In my opinion having a one or two emergency numbers to call is the best solution.

    Back in the old days some countries used 111, which could very easily dialed accidentally by clicking the receiver contact a few times (rotary pulse dial phones).
