btw i just made THREE pulp fiction jokes in this discussion about pigs and dogs. THREE:) All pretty much direct quotes from the same pulp fiction convo.
Central America is technically North America as far as continents go but it's the Hispanic as opposed to British/French part for the most part, to the best of my knowledge.
Your ignorance is showing btw. America as in the US = The United States Of America. The New World was known as America and when America broke free of British rule (one of the first to break European imperialism btw, and as long as we're pointing out blood on each others hands, you guys have a much darker past of foreign occupation). Anyway, the states became United into a country and they were "of America" because that is the name of the New World. There weren't any other major western countries that weren't controlled by Europe at the time and when the country was named, it was actually more of a confederacy than it became later on. The states wanted to be looked at as individual places joined together with each other for support but still separate entities. So "United States" makes a lot of sense and "of America" is good because that is where the states were located. Meanwhile, in Europe, countries were named after groups of natives for the most part. France means "Land of the Franks" for example. That's real original. Think I'm being childish? Well it sounds less childish than your petty attempt to insult America for its name. At least I'm stating a fact about France's etymology while you just throw insulting opinions. Finally, America, from a Western Perspective existed as a continent before it contained countries (I know about the Native Americans before someone tries to throw that out). Europe on the other hand was invaded by Romans who romanized existing groups of people but kept divisions similar to those that already existed tribally (to some extent at least). As Europe became the Europe we know and love today, it's countries already existed. If things had been the other way around maybe some countries would have incorporated Europe into their name. But now their doing it retroactively with the EU anyway.
What you did was define "young people" as delinquents with no money and no use. So yes, thanks to your re-definition of terms, your argument is logical.
Part of the problem is when people like you say "kids these days". There have always been thugs and hoodlums with no motivation. It's well documented. The misled youth is a common theme throughout the 20th century. They were just different incarnations for different decades and some were different then others.
Knee-jerk response. I nearly got in some trouble with some kids (well people my own age actually) and I thought about getting a knife. But they are illegal to carry if they are switch or stiletto, have strange blade length laws and finally I don't have any knife fight training and theres more of a chance of it being taken from me, and frankly whoever takes it from me would probably be more likely to use it as well since I dunno if I'd be ballsy enough to stab someone if it came down to it. Don't pack heat unless you actually KNOW what you're doing and won't get in trouble just for possessing it.
While you scared those kids shitless and maybe the whole under-18 neighborhood, all it did in the long run was widen the gap. And as far as corporal punishment goes, it fell out of favor because it was often not punishment but abuse. If a kid does something stupid or bad and is swiftly hit for it, and told it is wrong, that is one thing. But corporal punishment that I observed while taking the public Philadelphia bus for 8 years throughout middle and high school, was some obese woman beating her 1 year old senseless for making even the slightest noise. She was probably more angry at herself than the child but lo and behold, her shitty life was reflected onto her child and if anyone was to question her, she could just say its how she raises her kids and thats that. The reason corporal punishment isnt used is because of the image of what it is, and in fact what it's actually become. A well adjusted parent doesn't want to hit their kid because the image of a parent who hits their kid these days is not a good one, and for a good reason. The people who make corporal punishment most known are the ones who do it excessivly and who constantly try to rationalize it by giving the fancy misnomer of corporal punishment, when in fact what they are doing is abuse.
Also, those years of taking the bus made me hate the majority of adults more than anything. I never did anything to anyone, in fact I took so much crap in middle school from my peers that I had anxiety and panic attacks and stuff. But I'd get on the bus and some middle aged woman would make a loud comment about my bookbag to her stupid friends as they headed home from their secretarial jobs and meanwhile 95% of these women were the most obese cows you'd ever meet. They took up 2 seats sitting down but only paid 1 token but my backpack, now there was the real issue. So trust me, adults have their share of problems too and shit like that only distanced me from adults. If I was a different person or from a different background then things like that could have turned me into the exact type of teenager the mosquito-thing wants to drive away. Maybe certain adults shouldn't always assume the worst about kids just because they never had any. Plenty of adults like kids and plenty of kids like adults. The problem is boredom as someone said earlier. Boredom, peer pressure, anger and a divide between the elderly adult and kid population. Actually, the divide I believe is shrinking which is a good thing and may solve a lot of issues at hand but we don't need people continue to open it up.
This could lead to discrimination cases since whitebread names are more common than ethnic names for the most part. So all the better:) IMO, businesses shouldn't google potential employees because it is such a red herring to see what someone does outside of work. So he doesn't speak in complete sentences, wear a suit and act superpolite when he's not being interviewed. So what? Everyone is going to try and make a good impression and everyone is going to not be in interview mode their whole life. By not hiring them because they look like they have fun outside work, they may turning down their next amazing employee because they are focusing on something completely unrelated.
Those were all old testament. Not that I'm 100% disagreeing with you but those are laws that are sorted out (or in some cases, need to be sorted out) by Judaism and Islam. Christianity stopped Mosaic law because Jesus became the new law. Judaism has always been progressive enough to phase out laws that no longer applied to society which is why even the Orthodox and Hassidic don't think that those laws should be reinstated. A lot of Islam has also reformed but of course there are still radicals out there who implement Mosaic/Old Testament laws as you see in the news.
Terrorists don't have to be smart they just can't be bumbling idiots. There is a range between stupid and smart called normal:P Terrorism isn't really intuitive or smart in any way it just relies on being able to pull off something without getting caught. If the terrorists are reminiscent of the thieves in Home Alone, then it probably won't work but being above that comic level of idiocy isn't "smart". Heck, no one is actually that incompetent anyway.
Anyway this article is idiotic. Maybe bomb makers are like engineers because they are engineers. But not all engineers are bomb makers. And finally not all terrorists are bomb makers. Logic wins again.
I am equally surprised that someone sells a commercial product to do what a reasonably competent sysadmin can script in about 15 minutes. aka not a regular home user who would be buying an antivirus protection kit.
I agree with you about the patents however.

Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'd never know cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker.
lol okay im glad that was a joke :)
i'm not sure you understand the concept
But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way.
That would have to be one charming motherfucking pig. He'd have to be 10 times more charming than Arnold on Green Acres
Sorry I couldn't resist

you forgot greenland
I was actually not talking to you, but the parent.

You're kind of missing his point.. he never said all his ideas were flashes of random inspiration, he just said that it does happen.

The GP was refering to a DA not a private lawyer. A DA would have different motives.
too bad it's been messed up and now says suddentbreakoutofcommonsense :P
Yeah it's right next to the "DETECT SARCASM IN PARENT POST AND SUBMIT COMMENT ACCORDINGLY" button... oh wait my bad that button doesn't exist
Everything is black and white! True or false! 0 or 1! Every bit is either ON OR OFF!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? DEATH TO AMERICA
