It's pathological to like driving your own manual transmission car? Does that mean I'm pathological for liking my fully manual SLR film camera because it gives me better control of the image than a little point-and-click?
I don't care what cameras other people use, it's a free country, they can even use a camera phone if they want. I just like using my manual film camera because I like the pictures I get. Not because I have to control every detail or I feel insecure, but because I like fiddling with settings to get the best image I can. What's pathological about that?
When they only look for specific video games, they're missing most of the picture. Did they check his video cabinet? Bookshelf? Bedside drawer for medications? How about looking into where he and his friends hung out and what they did there? It's silly to pull out one video game and say "Here's the problem."
He probably had Power Point on his computer, too. Goodness knows it makes ME feel homicidal.
Laugh away. The great old ones are chuckling with you, for they were young once as well and told their forefathers to get with the times, only to find, after several decades, that they were the ones trying to communicate their experience to the new hires who considered them all has-beens.
Skepticism is a result of cynicism, a factor of age and experience. It is not stupidity or unwillingness to embrace the latest beta, it's more a matter of preferring that which is known to work over that which may work better eventually but will cause problems now. Thirty years of non-technical bosses screaming at him will do that to a person. You'll find that out, young grasshopper.
If you want to talk about specific issues and ways you think we can do better than the current approach, go ahead.
The problem is that eco-terrorists give environmentalism a bad name. I turn on the TV and see reports of groups attacking whaling boats with molotov cocktails and spiking trees so they can't be harvested and think "Wow, look at them attack ordinary workers just doing their jobs, not hurting anyone. Those people are dangerous." I'm in favor of taking care of the environment (we do live here, after all) but I think the measures the extremest groups take are inexcusable. The problem is, they do it in the name of environmentalism.
Not in the least. Liquidation of civilians is never the answer. Therefore, I object to hamas being allowed to fire rockets and send suicide bombers to kill Israeli civilians with no repercussions.
You'd more likely end up with a verdict of self-defense. If you just stand there and let him shoot your family while waiting for the police to arrive, you might get charged with negligence.
I'm all for people retaliating when they are attacked, but to deliberately kill journalists, attack your "friends", deny humanitarian aid to those who need it, attack refugee camps, and a whole list of other offenses, is where I draw the line.
Please provide links to your claims so we are not relying merely on your word.
Because, clearly, Hamas lobbing rockets and mortars into Israel's civilian areas is such a peaceful, friendly way to behave. Israel is clearly wrong for doing anything to try to protect their own mothers, brothers, uncles, girlfriends, etc. ~
If your neighbor was firing his shotgun into your yard, at your wife and kids, would you just sit there?
Out in New Mexico we have tumbleweeds rolling across the highway when the wind blows hard. Hitting one doesn't affect the car a bit, but the car slamming on the breaks to miss one and causing the semi truck behind you to run you over just might be worse.

Somehow, I think he could afford the bail . . .
Yeesh, don't they teach geography any more?
Hey, give them a break - they were security conscious enough to change the factory default combinations before they buried it. ;)
You forgot water power! Have you seen the effects of overexposure to that wet stuff? It's horrible!
Only until you install the disintegration chambers.
And then it has to go by Paris.
Not to mention the wood-fiber-slab tax attachments are collectible, particularly from the more exotic locations you will be visiting.

Somebody had to set up the system . . .
Old timers crack me up.

Er, how about us hippie broadcast engineers?
You're totally awesome, dude. Far out. They can't stop the signal.
And more creativity . . .

The politicians aren't the ones who end up in the furnaces. It's whatever minority can be used as scapegoats.

And they told me US$1500 was a deal!
