You say that as though either one means anything, we have stories here on slashdot infrequently about various published peer-reviewed journals which loudly espouse things which would require the laws of physics to be set on their head with a lasy susan stuck in their ass and spun about until they reached china.
First off I'm going to tell anyone who wants to argue the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath to STFU because we all know what you meant.
Unfortunately your argument basically boils down to "Not everyone is a sociopath, a lot of people only ACT just like them!" which for obvious reasons isn't very helpful.
Part of the issue is as adults we always think of how we'd deal with this were it adults. We don't think of it in terms of a social structure where a strong punch to the nose that floors somebody is about as far as it escalates if you handle it right and they're best friends afterwards.
You do realise that the rocket launcher is one of the oldest and most widely known and used weapons among FPS games right? That quote goes back to the original Team Fortress.
If you'd like to try and flamebait you're going to have to try a little harder.
Some people can't be bought, bargained or reasoned with. Some people enjoy the suffering of other people purely because of what it is and for no other deep reasons beyond that.
Some people, quite simply, are the monsters little children think are under the bed.
But if you really think that it's sound reasoning to just total up all "accident events" without any sort of severity grading and then say that pedestrian cycling is X-Hundred% More Dangerous than Vehicular Cycling go right ahead and obstruct the flow of traffic for real vehicles until you're turned into paste.
Also the argument that sidewalk riding is more dangerous because of people behaving in ways that would get them just as injured on the street? Yeah, you're going to have to find something a little more solid.
No, the reason is because pretty much everyone else in the world has the sense to realise that bicyclists are pedestrians. They don't belong in the road any more than joggers or skateboarders.
I was just in Helsinki last august, they just doubled the size of the sidewalk and allowed the section nearest the road for bicycles pretty much everywhere and where they don't they just treat a bicyclist that hits a walker the same as a car that hits a pedestrian.
And here in central florida they put it on the road which resulted in an even greater amount of chaos and injury.
I've got a lot of foreign friends, the one thing they have in common is that they consider us delusional for believing that bicycles are not pedestrians.
According to the sibling posts it's because his car didn't allow him to shift into neutral while at speed, which means if the brake doesn't override the suddenly stuck gas pedal and the push-button power switch doesn't want to turn off (just like my computer when it hangs...) he's fucked.
Or maybe we should recognize that multi-ton incendiary missiles capable of travelling at a hundred miles per hour on a level surface should be required to have at least 3 manual systems: Shifting, braking, and emergency shutoff.

Politicians haven't been held responsible for this kind of shit ever since they realised the full extent to which they could abuse redistricting.
Or alternatively maybe the improvement was defined as narrowing the distance between their goals and the reality and they accomplished that by just lowering their standards.
Especially since, as has already been pointed out, the quote comes from England where "Liberal" and "Conservative" mean the opposite parties than they do in the US.
"Yep, It's actually an in-joke for nerds like me" "What does it say?!" "It tells me when someone can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality."
Do you genuinely not see the fallacy in applying a train surviving hitting a car to a car without crumple zones vs one with them? A train hitting a car is like using your hand to swat a fly out of the air. A car without crumplezones hitting another car without crumplezones is like swinging at a baseball pitched at 90mph without wearing a glove.
And I can run full tilt into a yorkie and get a bruise on my shin, but if I do the same to someone my size that weighs the same as me I'll get a concussion.
If it's anything like pretty much every other really useful technological development that's occured in the last decade? You probably won't, but they'll always say it's N years away from commercial application.
Also they mention the ability to use it for refridgeration, but not whether it's still moving when they do that. Even on a microscopic scale having these things moving pretty much anywhere could cause problems.
Personally, as a jew, I would relish the opportunity to see the Nazi cow finally bred into a full and fertile existence... and promptly labelled Kosher.
Schadenfreude is a wonderful seasoning for an Auroch burger.

I was wondering when someone would trot out those fallacial Vehicular Cycling studies. They're about as unscientific as you can get, and get shredded fairly regularly Here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?100823-Sidewalk-bicycling

Australia's already famous for trying its best to kill all the humans living there, that's hardly suprising.

Unless the guy firing it gets knocked on his ass your own shock will be the only thing knocking you on yours...
Make the parking brake an actual E-brake and put an emergency neutral on the shifter...
Engine braking?

If I won the lottery and could buy that thing I'd so install it as my garage door or something.
People used to give it to their kids because it was supposedly healthy, I doubt that argument will fly.

Placebo effect, and the scout was actually cheating which is why he behaved like that.
500? Maybe in an MMO, anything over 200 in an FPS is enough to get you kicked from most servers.
