They'll survive not because of the law, but because there will always be people who value straightforward reporting and will pay for it
Except that the majority of people will be consuming crap, and these guys won't have enough money to fund a flight, let alone an investigative report on the abuses in a foreign country.
Isn't there a chance that, considering almost all were in close contact with nuclear weapons, the radiation was screwing with their head?
Nuclear radiation isn't known to cause that kind of delusion as far as I know. I think you're onto something with the common factor though; being responsible for a nuclear missile might well cause a lot of people to become paranoid, and perhaps even to imagine some higher power taking the responsibility/functionality away from them.
If you were a responsible person in a position of power, perhaps in some covert US task force, or some other friendly but worried power, and saw an idiot like bush in control at the whitehouse... wouldn't you take it upon yourself organise a disarmament too? And if you wanted events at each silo to not get reported back to HQ, what would you disguise the action as?
There are probably a hundred possible explanations. UFOs are not the most likely. Although granted, maybe this isn't either:)
the military's trained to never deploy against Americans...The US military will split halfway between the government and the people in any such conflict.
But they're not really American. They might have been born here, but they're really terrorists. Or Commies. Or niggers. Or whatever other word it takes to get a soldier to engage that de-humanisation training and blow the fucker's brains out.
Everyone seems to forget that there's this huge group of people who own firearms because they enjoy shooting.
That much is obvious, but the important question is WHY do you enjoy it? Is it honestly simply because you like to pull a trigger, hear a bang, and have a bullet hit a target due to your aiming skill, or is there an undercurrent of developing skills so you can defend yourself, or fit an image, or protect your wife and kids, or own a weapon?
I'm not telling, I'm asking, seriously. But it deserves a serious, thoughtful, deeply introspective answer. If you can't think through your motivations in terms of your childhood and cultural background, influences on TV, self-image, male role in society, etc., then you're not qualified to answer, no matter what you THINK your motivations are.
Can't fire across the Atlantic, so nobody except Americans get hurt.
Sure about that? American cultural (and sub-cultural) beliefs are exported around the world in real time on news, as well as in a highly engineered way, in TV and movies. There's even a theory floating about that the US and UK got together after WWII and deliberately built that global cultural indoctrination system.
Now, I'm not saying it's all that bad, having US culture exported, but if guns do harm in US culture, it's undeniably doing harm elsewhere by export.
Oh my god, Google wants to make money from it's advertising arm. This is shocking news, we should all boycott them now for someone who provides all services for free.
Did you save these in binary, no ascii formatting or line numbers? Negative numbers as well as positive, covering the entire range of bits in the integer (or other) length? I'm assuming they were integers, since floats have a specific format. Any sort of formatting would have constituted a non-random pattern.

By taking your own DNA samples to compare against your own database? By checking the 8192-bit signature on the fax paper?
Most people trust the authorship of documents in the absence of evidence against it, because there's little realistic alternative.
It's a viewpoint.
In my view, JFK did not die, but was transported out of his body by the flying spaghetti monster's noodly appendage.

Because the human brain likes to interpret when presented with uninteresting data, I'd guess.
Indeed. Next up: defenestration.

Damn, so it DOES need proof to back it up then? ;)
I mean, seriously... who cares who writes things? What matters is whether the arguments are valid, and the evidence they're based on is sound.
Uhhh, which they're clearly not in this case. Just thought I'd tack that on for clarity ;)
Just to show this in another light...

If you want to build a well-known brand from your any-mechanic-with-a-camera-could-do-it videos, YOU should be that dickhead posting on Piratebay.
How about any ISP that takes money from the public must actually serve the public?
After careful analysis, I've concluded that it's in Spanish.

It's a bullshit argument, is what it is. I can understand how you'd confuse the two, since they often get mixed on a farm.
To be fair, there's no way Steve could have thrown a chair that high.
I'm in favour of it, but if the opposition gets to cut through doors with lightsabres, count me in.
Isn't it obvious?
It helps if you load up with explosive rounds.
Many a true word spoken in jest.
OMG, fucking is a myth?!
A backdoor could be as little as a hidden, free account on a game. It has little to do with rootkits.
God, yes! Visual BASIC could save us all, if we'd only repent and believe.
