Seems that when a study slashdotters don't agree with (video games "boost" teen violence), we get a huge amount of "correlation != causation" posts and tags. When it's a study that slashdotters agree with or like (visiting slashdot during work improves your performance; don't feel guilty!), we're a little bit more lax on the fact that it's just as guilty of faulty logic, typical statistics, etc...
Damnit I don't care how bogus the statistics are! If it justifies what I do at work all day anyway, I'm gonna take it as gospel proof until my boss comes back with a refutation in Science.
Contrary to popular belief not all/.ers live in their parent's basements, some of us enjoy active lives that include direct sunlight.
I disagree. Before I started reading slashdot I was outgoing and girls liked me. Now I live in my parents basement, fear the sun, and haven't seen a nonpixelated woman in years. The only variable change was the introduction of slashdot.
I know half the people here claim to be normal and have their own place and even girlfriends, but I think it's just a bunch of bunk!
The masturbation leading to blindness, is probably a superstition sort of thing, some guy had an orgasm, temporarily making his vision obscured, and he just took it way too far..."luckely I stopped, or it would have been permanent"
Or some guy was looking for some lesbian softcore and came across something like goatse, and in order to protect him (as brains are wont to do during traumatic experiences) his brain shut down the visual centers. I would correlate that with wanking if you were doing your bidness to an image gallery and halfway through that happened.
So this is "sexual abuse" now? They didn't even make her take all her clothes off, and the search was done by women; some school admins suspected she had a certain drug, they checked her and found nothing. Why are you imagining some sort of sexual abuse?
Uh the whole forcing a 13 yr old girl to expose herself. I know I'd probably not see the light of day for quite a while if I did it...
Yeah really. Personally, I don't care if the student was bragging about having a bomb hidden all up in her, there is absolutely no reason a stupid school official should be strip searching anybody. If it's that serious, get the parents and convince the cops to come do it. They'd both be like wtf why are you wasting our time.
Dude, it's a choose your own adventure story! They could see a bunny, or they could eat, or they could @#$% a bunny if they're into that sort of thing. It's the beauty of _ your own adventure!
Oh and I got to crawl inside a tank in Summer 2008 so I could measure and modify a cable. Woo.;-)
Unless you convinced them that the tank needed to be moving and firing off at least a few rounds for you to properly test the modification, I sense a missed opportunity.
I'm assuming you meant tank as in army not water. If you meant water and still gave a "Woo", if feel I would suddenly regret all of my education past 6th grade.:(
Yes, because the UK's socialist Royal Mail and NHS definitely caused hammer-and-sickle flags to wave over the Houses of Parliament.
Haven't you been reading the news? I mean the joke is practically "in Soviet UK,...". Near as I can tell, they're well past 1984 which was supposed to be a "if the commies ran Britain" kind of story anyway.
...trying to come in.
Darn you non-editable replies.
Darn you to HECK!
Eh just leave it. Before you sounded like a nerd pretending he got some on occasion, but now you just sound like a pendant that'll never ever get any...
Uh I feel that as an online web service XBL is probably not really a good on for "hooking up". I mean I guess if you're into whiny 12 yr olds, but I think that's illegal anyway.

If you stop giving them attention when they misbehave they'll stop throwing temper tantrums!

Transylvania being the home of a variety of the undead. Now that I've pointed out the obvious I feel the Internets are safe again.

Nah they had duct/k tape way before Nam.

From reading Slashdot, I have deduced that Libertarians are like Republicans, only without the empathy and concern for their fellow man.
Well shoot from reading Slashdot, one could deduce that women are like cars but without mufflers.

I considered using my troll moderation for your comment, but realized it's more of a (-1 Sacrilege) comment.
Only if you some how ascribe a ridiculous value to human life. We're animals; there's 6 billion of us. Life is cheap, and beer isn't free.
Gah, then go ride a damn bicycle and stay off the road! Less friggin' traffic.
Also, don't be dodging around like a NY courier or I will run you over.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be a convenience store not a government agency.
Well really to be relevant to the gp...
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet.

I think they did or tried to if you're under a certain age or something. Crazy British and their knives!

why does this suddenly make me want to cry?
If they had no problem buying it with their own money, why should they get a handout?
Then again, I'm a crazy liberal who thinks that the government should give to the poor, not the rich.
Well I'm a crazy [insert whatever] who wants to know why the hell we're giving handouts for TV for anybody! Nobody will die without American Idol.

High Welcome to Sunny Utah!
Sorry he forgot to pull out the murders in NYC and people who wander in to Jersey and are never seen again.
An Australian team has flown a scramjet.
but it wasn't as good as ours! Something about positive thrust or some such mumbojumbo
