Well, here is their response to the complaints about the live journal mass deletion:
Let the caterwauling and complaining continue; LJ has chosen to enforce rules that WERE ALREADY IN PLACE for all to see. "I finally got held accountable, and it's all your fault" won't fly here.
I am not sure about the whole malware thing, but their website is here. It is kind of interesting to see the dichotomy of their response to this whole fiasco, on one hand you got the response of "Gunny John" above who seems to be trying to say that anything that did get deleted deserves it, while "Sues" is trying to say that they did not call for the survivor/support pages and lolita discussions to be deleted, that it was Live journals doing. Odd statements from two "people" supposedly united in a cause.
How? Because Stewart Padveen said so? Who in the hell is he, and why should I care? From the looks of his site adpickles.com he looks like another spam farmer to me. Not the best authority to appeal to.
Until now, no videogame* I've ever seen has even approached what real-life aiming is like.
Well, there is one game that does realistically simulate firing a weapon. Unfortunately it is so exclusive it makes halo 3 alpha testing pale in comparison. It would be the M.A.C.S. or the Multipurpose Arcade Combat Simulator, a marksmanship training aid developed for the Super Nintendo for use by the US Army. It is part of the M16 marksmanship training program and is specifically used for proper sighting and target acquisition (more info). Personally I didn't find it as useful as the dime and washer exercise, but then again my problem was trigger squeeze not sighting.
Verbal consent!? Ha! Boy are you behind the times. Any sexual act can only be performed after written consent is obtained.
Sexual activity consent form FU-2 can be obtained from the local court house or post office. The form must be filled out by both parties and witnessed by a notary public. Then each party keeps one copy (pink for her, blue for him) with the white original filled with the county recorder no later than 2 days before the sexual act is to occur. Failure to follow these instructions will result in prosecution under the sexual morality code.
Jeez dude, next your gonna be asking what the three sea shells are for.
That's a nice idea, but the list might get a little big.
Personally I would say just keep a record for all Political Science grads, and maybe law grads as well. They are the ones most likely to be in a position to push for this kind of BS, and they may reconsider this type of stuff if they know their entire criminal history is available at the push of a button, just like a "sex offender".
It would be pretty easy too. Just scrub the graduating class list from the local universities for Poly sci or pre-law majors and put it in the database. Then search the police blotter reports from the local newspaper for any name matches and enter them in as incidents. When the local politico starts trying to grab headlines with some BS like they are doing now, contact the news and put his or her dirty laundry out to dry.
The best part is the older the sock the stronger the flavor, and the sock also serves as a filter saving money in the process.
Try using other camper's socks for new and interesting flavors.
Oh dear god! That is one of the most brilliant ideas I have ever heard of.
I really wish the was a way to give some feed back on some of the ads I've seen. Like the annoying flyover ads on some pages, or the ones with annoying sounds. One time I was visiting a web comic page and the banner ad had a fish flopping around. Well fish normally don't make much noise but this little bastard wouldn't shut up! He was just flopping around babbling his stupid head off. I got so annoyed with it I dug through the page source and adblocked anything that had to do with the ads domain. I really can't remember what the hell they were advertising but I do know I really did not like that damn fish, at all.
If I could do as you proposed, I would tell the advertisers that particular ad did not do what they wanted, I never bothered to see what the product was that they were selling, I just wanted that ad out of my face, never to return again.
Unfortunately the confusion comes from the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui. Jurors asked for a definition of WMD'S and the judge instructed them that airplanes used as missiles are considered weapons of mass destruction. This obviously flies in the face of more traditional definitions which excluded conventional explosives unless they were used to dissipate chemical, biological or radiological agents. I think that people would be best served by using the more realistic UN or Office of Technological Assessment definitions instead.
Ahh, but we only torture prisoners we have no intention of charging. As he is being pursued by the MAFIAA and not the DHS, you can bet he will be charged so that the MAFIAA can get their pound of flesh (in the form of large bank notes).
It all depends on what you mean by life, apparently. It used to be that a judges would set a range when handing down sentences, such as 25 to life or 50 to life. Meaning that a prisoner could serve 25 years and be let out on parole for good behavior, or if they did not behave themselves or make any progress as determined by the parole board, they could be in prison till they die.
However with the new push for truth in sentencing and get tough on crime politicizing, some states have adopted the life means life approach, where the only way out is in a pine box, while other have imposed sentences that are longer than a natural human life, sometime in excess of 200 years. Also in a fit of paradoxical euphoria, some prisoners have been sentenced to consecutive life sentences, leaving me to wonder how will they repay their debt to society?
More info can be found here and the federal sentencing guidelines that most judges use can be seen here.

I play counterstrike all the time. I know how to handle pistols, SMGs, Rifles, even Miniguns and grenades. How does your training plan incorporate such simulation games into the training? Counterstrike is not a simulation, it's a game, pure and simple. Saying that Counterstrike taught you how to handle a sub machine gun is like saying that playing Madden teaches you how to play for the NFL. You may get a notion of real life squad tactics from Counterstrike, but there is no value whatsoever in learning how to handle a weapon.
Anyone can get a long gun, but you have to pass some serious tests for a pistol. I am not sure that goes far enough, after all, look at what happened with Cheney. Improper gun handling is dangerous no matter if the gun is a pistol, rifle, shotgun or even a muzzle loader. I would not be particularly opposed to a short training session before people are allowed to purchase any gun, kind of like the class required for hunting licenses up here in Minnesota. The class is 12 hrs long and teaches basic firearms handling, and is a one time requirement. Hell, they even put it down on the back of drivers licenses, so it could be presented at gun shops when purchasing. I don't see how anyone could be opposed to teaching potential gun owners some common sense rules to follow when handling guns it would be a benefit to everyone.
The facility to mow innocents down like wheat should be denied to all. Actually that one is regulated, you need a valid drivers license to operate it on public property.
I'm not pro or anti gun, but you simply can't go on a mass murdering spree like this with a knife or a bow and arrow. If yo plan it right you can, and this one moderately well planned. FTA:
Police found the front doors of Norris Hall chained shut and that by the time they got to the second floor, the gunfire stopped. This guy was planning on having a high body count and did not want the police to interrupt nor his victims to escape. So he locked them in. People do not do that on a whim. So with this in mind it is easy to imagine someone putting forth the effort of waiting till late at night and sneaking into peoples rooms and stabbing them to death instead. Or else locking the building and torching the place. The point is that people will find a way once they have the will to do something like this.

Sorry about that.

That would indeed be clever.

Maybe on the process of pulling ridiculous claims out of his ass, but I am sure there is prior art somewhere.

- Place percolator over fire
