... Shooting someone for texting during the movie is fine with me, but shooting them for texting during the trailer previews is unjustified.
You do realize that you aren't going to finish the movie? Police, ambulances, etc is going to be showing up, the lights will be put on and the movie will be stopped.
When I hear news like these I always wonder what type of idiot thinks that shooting the texter solves anything?
Thank you for providing an answer.
p.s. The shooter will spend the rest of his life in jail, how's that preferable to someone annoyingly texting in a movie?
Considering the shooter is a retired police officer, who should of known better then to use his gun, I find it sort of weird. I mean, what sort of police force did he retire from that makes him think it's okay to kill/shoot someone for disrupting the movie you are at?
People with addictive personalities more prone to mental problems. Who'd have thunk?
Or , ya know, you could actually read the article. Its not about how prone someone is, its when the symptoms start. Schizophrenia shows early symptoms in childhood, and if you've got it, you will succumb to psychosis eventually. Whats happening here is the pot smokers are succumbing earlier. This wont affect most people, but those who are succeptible, perhaps pots a bad idea. The trick scientifically is identifying those in danger.
So you are saying if you are susceptible to Schizophernia, pot might make it happen sooner then it would if you didn't smoke pot.
Jesus was a big fan of rejecting unjust laws. The below is from Luke, but there are many other examples.
A Spirit of Infirmity
10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”
15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
Luke 13:10-17
In The Old Testament, there's a great example of King David insisting that the ruler of a synagogue give David and his soldiers some holy bread as they were all extremely hungry. The holy bread was dedicated to God and could only be eaten by priests, but David correctly asserted that God doesn't want his children to die over this matter.
Is this the same Jesus I can hire outside Home Depot?
With FBI withdrawing from "Law Enforcement", who is in charge of interstate criminal activities, racketeering, and so on ??
My guess is they are going to start classifying various crimes as terrorist acts. Thus the FBI will still get to go after them but with better funding and the ability to say they are protecting America from "terrorists".
Wow. Really? When was the last time you saw someone user the word 'libertarian' without adding some colorful adjectives to it? Let alone how Slashdot's increasingly leftist audience routinely refers to Republicans...
I'm a socialist, I refer to Republicans the same as Democrats: Fucking twats that are working for the corporations.
Does it really make any difference why someone hunts? I'm not a hunter and I don't like the idea of people hunting for sport, but it's not necessarily my business to condemn/condone other people's choice of activities. I don't see that hunting for food is actually any different to people who hunt for sport - either way the animal is killed.
I don't see a difference between hunting down a dear for dinner or going to the store/butcher to buy some venison.
He should do it because it's the right thing to do, there should not be any need for more incentive than that.
Obama has a history as President of not doing the "right thing". While he ran on a campaign of "hope & change", once he got into the office it was more of the same.

Well, it certainly wasn't Albert Einstein. The quote first appeared in print in 1983 (in a book by Rita Mae Brown), when Albert Einstein had already been dead for 28 years.
It wasn't Rita Mae Brown either, it first appeared in the Narcotics Anonymous handbook in 1981.
Going to point out it's a weird thing for a NA book to say since most drug users have to repeatedly kick drugs before they figure out how to quit completely. And NA is about keeping sober and it's okay if you fall of the wagon, just get back on. Quite a different attitude then "don't keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" that is just saying no point in even trying to kick drugs because you won't do it.
If it's supposed to mean that doing drugs and expecting something different is crazy, you do drugs to get high. You aren't expecting anything other then that high, and you generally are NOT disappointed.

Yes, because in that scenario I end up without a car. If I "steal" a movie by downloading and then go see it in theaters/buy the DVD because of that, the studio/theater ends up with my money, and still has the movie in any case.
Yes, you deprived them of income by taking the movie without paying for it. The fact that they still have it available to distribute to someone else is irrelevant. If you later buy a DVD of it legitimately, that is a separate transaction and next to impossible to trace back to a pirated original viewing and also irrelevant for them to have to justify.
What if i bought the DVD at a used DVD store? I'm still depriving the movie studio of their profits, since they won't get any on the used movie.
I'm not sure you understand the concept that you aren't going to get profit on every copy of a movie that someone views, it's impossible.
And no where is any company guaranteed profit from anything they make.
If someone steals your car and then sends you $100,000 cash, you can still report your car stolen.
Okay, besides your reply is stupid, lets go at your angle.
If we could 3D print cars that are the same as the original, and the various car companies kept selling there cars at the same price they've always have, do you think people are going to spend $10k+ on a car from ford, or going to spend very little printing out the same car from their local big 3D printing shop?
You can't prove that piracy reduces revenue, because you have to assume the people pirating would have purchased the content if it were not available for free.
I do not have HBO (or cable TV) and I do NOT go to movies. I downloaded Game of Thrones and I've downloaded the 2 hobbit movies (still need to watch the newest one).
Guess what? I would NEVER pay to see those. Or anything I download. NEVER.
Did the various people lose out money from me? No. They never were getting money from me. What do they get from me instead? Me recommending it to other people, people who are more likely to buy/rent/netflix stuff.
Am I a criminal? Scum? Loser? Poor person? Smart? Cheap? Frugal? Could be, but one thing I do not do, is support the copyright monopolies.

Guns don't kill people, but retired cops do.
There is no atheist terrorism you fucking moron.
Because atheist don't see a need to kill innocent people over the belief of imaginary beings.

The next Snowden release will probably show proof of NSA spying on congress. Mainly if the NSA says, "No, we don't spy on congress"

You should learn the difference between the sun and the earth. They both have magnetic fields. The sun's flips regularly. The earth's, not so much.
