    A bunch of jackasses running around in the streets isn't instilling fear of anything. As soon as it the leadership has had enough of their shit, they'll tell the Revolutionary Guard and militias to have a rape party and kill and rape everyone they think is a protester.

    How about the summary leading me to believe that is one of the dumbest laws in existence. How exactly do you pay benefits to a FUGITIVE, someone the fucking police/fbi/law enforcement and even bounty hunters can't find?

    A little bit of logic goes a long way. 'How do you know there is a gas leak in the building?' Bam, done. In a hotel they'd have employees running from door to door or pull the fire alarm to get people to evacuate.

    Did I refer to anything other than this specific case? He was modding consoles for a profit so others could play pirated games. This isn't up to debate, it's a FACT.

    Maybe people shouldn't be so stupid as to listen to anything someone tells them on the phone and demand to see someone in person if it's as serious as they are being told? I sure as hell would tell anyone calling me on a phone to go fuck themselves if they even hinted at wanting me to do anything which I could be held liable for.

    "Indeed, Robin Dunbar at the University of Oxford has found that laughing increases levels of endorphins, our body's natural opiates, which he believes helps to strengthen social relationships."

    Pretty sure this has been common knowledge for years/decades.

    There's a difference between your tax dollars directly funding something, and your tax dollars being used to BUY something. The company that ends up getting the money isn't being funded by NASA, they're being paid by NASA so that NASA can purchase their goods from them.

    It's not about revenge, it's about that person proving themselves, through their actions, that they do not deserve the right to live.

    There's a difference between actually paying for something, and stealing it. If you don't pay for it, you stole it. It's EXTREMELY simple, and the only reason he was modding consoles was for people to play games they had pirated and didn't pay a dime for.

    The fact that guns are used to kill stuff IS the deterrent. Talk about a failure of an analogy.

    The only reason to mod a console for MOST people, not the nerds on /., is to play pirated games. The summary and your post are both misleading and naive.

    When damn near everyone works for the government simply to say 'they have a job', they might as well be on unemployment benefits.

    While I think the GP is insane, I personally only buy meat when it's on sale. Typically it's $4.99 per lb for london broil steaks at Stop&Shop where I live, but once a month or so they put it on sale for $1.79 per lb and I buy quite a few of them. Shopping for meat is something you should generally do during sales imo.

    Fifty bucks a barrel for something that has far less energy density than gasoline is too high in my opinion. Far less energy density per mass & volume + requiring all vehicles have their fuel lines made corrosion resistant to the max due to ethanol's corrosive properties makes it a lose unless it's cheap as fuck compared to gas.

    Not really. If the concrete fails the company that supplied it has to pay for it to be demoed out + reformed + repoured. That's just common sense right there.

    I don't see any muslims protesting or marching or anything except when a cartoon is drawn of muhammed and their 'religion of peace' commands them to call for the beheading of the guy who drew the cartoon, yet arab newspapers/media all over the middle east routinely put up some of the most vile shit that you would expect on stormfront.

    I don't see blacks other than bill cosby standing up and saying 'Youre a bunch of fucking whiny bitches, get your shit together and stop being useless and blaming all your woes on the white man' (paraphrased, but surprisingly not too much as it was the intent of what he said) to black parents for not raising their kids right.

    All stereotypes are based within a modicum of fact, and I stated nothing more than fact. If these two groups did NOT want to perceived in the way they are, they'd do something about it. But they refuse, and do their best, both through action AND inaction, to perpetuate the stereotypes with which they are labeled.

  21. Re:Screw'em! on Online Forum Leads To Hostile Workplace Lawsuit · · Score: -1

    Do you know WHY things are like that? Blacks generally commit more crime, commit murder at a rate 7x higher than that for whites, and as a community do their best to perpetuate the thug/gangsta/criminal image. Arabs are, for all intents and purposes, THE terrorist ethnicity in the west. Sure you can name a handful or maybe more of nonarab terrorists, but they are vastly outweighed by the arabs. Until blacks and arabs/muslims do something to change the thug/terrorist stereotype by actually telling their kids to quit being a bunch of useless fucks and grow up and be somebody that does more than hurt others or be a leech on society nothing will change.

    Rodney King had what was coming to him 110% He was speeding 90+ mph in a residential neighborhood high on cocaine, drunk as fuck, possibly on PCP. He wrecks the car and immediately tries to fight the multiple cops who were chasing him, and everytime they got him on the ground, the stupid bastard KEPT GETTING UP. Maybe you've never seen someone fucked up on coke, let alone PCP, but they can be a fucking beast, especially PCP. I've seen videos of relatively small guys on PCP fighting 4+ people and beating the shit out of them through sheer strength/adrenaline + lack of pain reception alone. All he had to do was stop fighting, trying to attack them, and he wouldn't. It was only when his body was physically crippled to teh point that the drugs weren't enough to keep him going that he was finally subdued.
