  1. Re:I've got a genius idea, too on Another WW-I Chemical Site In Washington, DC · · Score: 1

    That collapse was caused by the government. They created the situation where they could be called in to save the day while denying they had any role in the event happening in the first place.

  2. Re:Not true on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    FWIW, they were probably FAR FAR FAR away. They would fire their cannon, and 2-3 seconds later the rounds would hit. That's pretty fucking far.

    I'm just going to come out and say it for everyone else. You and the rest of jurors are useless fucking assholes and one of the main reasons I hope to god I never have to face a jury of my 'peers' I don't even need to explain why your explanation makes this case even more fucked up because it should be clear as day to anyone who read your post.

  4. Re:UO wasn't that much fun really on Why Are There No Popular Ultima Online-Like MMOs? · · Score: 1

    2+on1 should be the most fun fights. The problem is wow is entirely based on class/item/level, with an incredibly minimal amount on playerskill. The lack of collision detection (aka the game is all based on autohit so you can't dodge anything manually) makes the class/item/level based existence even more solidified. In games like Asheron's Call and now Darkfall Online not only are the games less based on character skill/items/level, you can manually dodge most (in AC) or ALL (in Darkfall) attacks if you were good enough. My favorite fights in AC were on my level 140 (max level was 245, you would earn experience and 'buy' points into each skill on a diminishing return curve, each point costing more than the next, last 5 points costing more than the previous 200 or so) fighting 5-15on1 against levels 120-245.

  5. Re:Paging Bernie Madoff Clients... on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    Economic aid is the major problem with africa today outside of the face that the colonial powers back in the day provided them with an instant technological jump across several ages without the corresponding cultural changes that took place allowing for those changes back home.

    Do you think people on welfare care about getting a job when they know they'll keep getting free money for doing absolutely nothing? Stop giving africa money and give them a 1 shot chance at learning to take care of themselves through farming and the like. If they don't take it, oh well, sometimes you need to walk away and cut your losses.

  6. Re:I am shocked! on Obama Wants Computer Privacy Ruling Overturned · · Score: 3, Informative

    The desire for the people to defend themselves from a tyrannical government which was overstepping it's bounds was THE reason for support of the 2nd amendment, everything else was just fluff. They had just finished fighting a war for their independence from just such a government and knew that the people NEEDED that ability to keep checks on their government when the time came again for such an event.

    Blaming it as the foreskin #1 contains a shitload of nerves, and #2 prevents the excessive rubbing against clothing and such and thereby dulling the nerves that are left.

  8. Re:If ever I heard an argument on The Mass Production of Living Tissue · · Score: 1

    I don't feel anything on my cock when I'm having sex other than warmth/wetness, there is no pleasurable feeling on it except the head when having an orgasm. The only way I can even orgasm while having sex is by grinding once all the way in and feeling my girl against me around my dick, mostly between it and my legs. I love getting head but only from watching it occur because otherwise I don't feel a fucking thing almost except, as previously stated, during orgasm.

  9. Re:Roundabouts on Computer Failure Causes Gridlock In MD County · · Score: 1

    There are so few in america, or atleast here in connecticut, that they don't even TALK about them in driving schools, atleast not the one I went to. I live down the street from one (1mile away) and the number of assholes who don't know how to drive in them even though the entrance is clearly marked YIELD people still blow into them, and people in them still stop for those at the entrances. The number of times I've wanted to gun it instead of braking and just pushing the person in front of me over the 40ft steep drop on one side of the circle are too high to count.

  10. Re:How is that sustainable? on Chinese To Supply 600 MW Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 1

    Unions served their purpose a long time ago, but now merely exist to grab as much money as they can without giving a shit about the consequences as well as to pay exorbinant amounts to those running them.

    Yale has unionized cleaning staff, and while I worked in two different finished buildings there doing renovation work as a union carpenter, their staff would work for approximately 2 hours of their 8 hour day on a good day and spent the rest either sleeping or congregating where they knew a 'boss' wouldn't find them and just bullshitting for hours. It was the biggest joke I've ever seen.

    My union has our local's president driving an expensive sports car, the union cutting benefits and pushing up the age for retirement to get your full pension, whilst we had over 1400 members out of work across the 3 locals in the state.

    Unions for a long time now stopped being a good thing and are now just a money grabbing operation that exist to increase wages far higher than they SHOULD be, especially for people who don't deserve a job in the first place.

    My liberty ends where yours begins. Perfect freedom is to do whatever the fuck you want UNLESS you are directly causing harm to another or impinging upon their freedom, so your bullshit hypothetical about punching someone in the face is a straw man of the highest order. When will people stop making utterly asinine situations/analogies and just talk about facts?

  15. Re:Eurogamer = Not Professional on Early Look At EVE Creators' DUST 514 · · Score: 1

    The second 'review' was not even a legitimate review, almost the entirety of it was apologizing/explaining away the first review. The first one was almost entirely made up, the second one was just a poor covering their asses sham.

  16. Re:Not the first middle east nuke on Report Claims Iran Has Data To Build a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    "Yes, but Israel deserves a much higher level of trust than Iran. Even in the 1973 war, when Israel was facing defeat - and a defeat would have meant, literally, annihilation - Israel did not use its nukes (and it almost certainly had them by then)."

    They almost did. It's a long standing and well known fact that if Israel is about to be defeated they will launch all their nukes at those attacking them.

  17. Eurogamer = Not Professional on Early Look At EVE Creators' DUST 514 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    After their review of Darkfall Online, which also happened to be the first time I heard of them, I'll never read or give a shit about a review by them. The chief editor for Eurogamer sided with the reviewer when called out by not only Tasos, lead 'PR' person for Darkfall who claimed to have server logs showing the guy hadn't even played the game, but hundreds of eurogamer readers and even more Darkfall players who almost unanimously agreed it was impossible for the guy to have played the game and still write the review he did as nearly none of it was based in any fact.
