    So what? Why would they post the raw picture without any modification?

    Ok so now you're being even more sensational with your hypothetical pure situations. That's nice but I'd like to discuss something realistic.

    Do you honestly believe cocaine is safer than nicotine?

    You made a claim and I want to know if you have qualifications that make that claim legitimate or if I should just ignore you.

  5. Re:Nicotine vs Caffeine on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    But only in theory.

    The nicotine article you quote says "It is impossible however to overdose on nicotine through smoking alone"

    It's impossible to consume enough coffee to kill you. You can't fit 100 cups of coffee into a human. That's about 23.5 liters or something over 6 gallons.

    Hey look at that. Completely safe through normal usage.

    That makes safer than many over the counter medicine, alcohol, stairs, driving, and bathtubs.

    Wow twice as dangerous as cocaine! Way to be sensational.

    Also some great out of context quoting there.

    Please post the rest of that paragraph. The one that says it's impossible to OD from smoking.

    How about this:
    Nicotine has a lower LD50 than cocaine.
    Nicotine can't kill through normal usage. Cocaine can.

    Which is more dangerous?

    How so? What are the harmful effects of nicotine?

    It's not listed as a carcinogen.

    Caffeine is physically addictive.

    Do you support labeling it as a controlled substance; since it meets the same criteria you list for doing so with nicotine?

    Any evidence at all on that? Cigarette smoke is far from harmless but you need to back up your claim.

    So you think OSHA should be abolished? There should be no protection or safety standards for employees? You think the concept of workman's comp is unfair?

    What about intellectual property? A trademark or patent doesn't exist. Neither does copyright. They're concepts with no existence outside a contract.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    There's nothing unconscionable about this contract. Unconscionable does not mean the user is a dumbass who didn't read the contract. Unconscionable requires uneven bargaining positions; which is impossible in a sale of luxury goods.

    I would say the same about you considering the flat out lies in your post. Regardless your views are completely off topic.

    Turbine has been doing monthly expansion for close to a decade in Asheron's Call.

    It was great. A dynamic world where things change so unlike the modern MMOs.

    E.g., last time I tried EQ2, Sony was already selling a metric buttload of stuff for real currency for it, on top of needing a full subscription, and needing the Station Access expensive subscription if you want more than 4 character slots (total, not per server!), and having to buy the extra mini-expansion packs to get your extra class powers, and so on.

    You're wrong on this. I've never had a Station Access account and I have more than 4 characters.

    Black humor is a common way of adaption for not only people who face death but for people who work around death.

    Cops making jokes around a crime scene are not disrespectful they're coping.

    f you want to load your apps that you wrote onto your iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch without paying the money, then jailbreak it--it's easier than setting up your DS to use homebrew apps (not that I endorse doing it).

    That's a felony in the States.

    I guess Apple is just keeping with their counter culture origins.
