This may be news for you, but the governments has no interest in killing a good deal of the population. One or two citizens maybe, but not tens of thousands of them. Killing too many people damages the economy, if nothing else. And if you were in the armed forces, would you be willing to serve when your buddies are killing your family and burning your hometown?
This is not Iraq or some country you can't find on a map. Kill 100 Iraqis a day, nobody cares. Kill 100 Americans a day, another matter. And don't give me the "but they were eeevil terrowrists" crap because it's not going to stand.
We're still talking about Waco more than a decade afterwards. A hundred Wacos would make Washington very, very jittery.
"Seriously, I think freedom of speech is a bit more important than being able to shoot at a turkey."
You'll lose it anyway. Gun nuts will lose their guns, you will lose your freedom of speech. And guess what, there's NOTHING you can do. Keep standing divided, they're all laughing at you.
Nobody hates the "fucking Ayatollah" because the Ayatollah can't fuck, he's impotent and has a minuscule penis. That's why he's so pissed off at the world.
So, let's say everybody hates the "un-fucking Ayatollah". Please, be accurate in your statements.
"If I want them, I'll take them by force, and if I'm more effective in my violence or have more friends on my side than you have cops, well, now they're mine."
ROTFLMAO. Just try and do it, shit-eater. You'll either be killed or imprisoned, and then I'll prosecute your family into the ground. We'll make an example of you, take away your miserable belongings and rip you apart.
We don't have just the cops. We have the lawyers and the politicians. Your pitiful friends will be dispersed by baton rounds, billy clubs and tear gas. They'll be arrested en masse, prosecuted, and condemned to a lifetime of debt slavery.
You can't win. You can only die.
Spare everyone the cost (including your family who will otherwise curse your name to the end of their days) and hang yourself.
"Well, we're all born in the UK, and we're all inherently superior to y'all USians..."
Does posting this comment make you feel better? Does it make up for your sense of inferiority?
What happened to you? An American beat you at something you thought you were good at? Does it still hurt? Did it happen when you were a kid?
Maybe an American bully beat you up? Humiliated you in front of your class, did he? And you're still angry to this day?
Or have you been to the US, done something wrong, and a cop pulled you? Hurt your self-respect a lot, I bet. You probably cry every time you think about it.
One can feel the powerless anger from your words. Get over it, they shit on your face, there's nothing you can do to change this fact. Live with it or suicide.
You can take it even farther than that. Guns don't really have a positive use. No one is really hunting for survival anymore.
And no one but certified professionals should be authorize to audit a computer network for safety issues, what about that? You don't need any of those tools, the '80s are gone. Computer pioneers are not needed anymore, certainly not childish amateurs who should not be permitted to have programs that can be harmful to legitimate users.
Anyway, only the fact that you're a wuss and shit your pants only thinking about guns automatically invalidates any opinion you may have. So go back to jerking off in your own feces, loserboy.

What does it feel like to be alive and dead at the same time?
No, you see, when Jack Thompson was in high school he was bullied. Badly. They beat him up regularly, and humiliated him publicly. Yes, this was done even back then.
One particularly vicious bully forced him to eat dog excrements before his whole class, then he had him repeatedly insult his own mother, under threat of a severe beating.
In the end, he ordered him to take off his trousers and run along the school corridors, which he did crying and hollering. Then he grabbed him by the neck, bashed his face against a wall and stuck his head into a toilet.
Then he shit on his face and pissed on him.
And the last thing little Jack heard before he passed out was the bully saying "Man, that Computer Space thing is COOL".
You can stop right there: the fact that you're German immediately invalidates any point you might think you have. As a German, you're not fully human and hence your values do not apply to us.
Be so kind as to eat sauerkraut and die away from our sight. Begone, Hun.
Yes, we do remember. Keep in mind that we're not all 13-year old emo kids bitchin' about how the world is treating them bad and nobody understands them, yadda yadda yadda. Some of us actually remember the times when we actively had to hunt around for nerds to beat up instead of simply camping out of the computer room.
"Now, let's face facts. You've worked a hard day. Your back hurts. Your head is tired. Your kids finally shut the fuck up around 9pm."
You hit the nail straight on the head. Those who watch BSG are nerds with no job, no kids, no life. Their family consists exclusively of their parents, in whose basement they live. And despite the abject failure that is their lifes, they have the gall to consider themselves smarter than anyone else.
You are making the wrong assumption that non-nerds are stupid, which is simply not true.
Nerds cannot make babies because they are unattractive, smelly and devoid of any redeeming feature. They do not attract the opposite sex and therefore cannot reproduce.
However, nerds tend to consider "stupid" anyone who is not a failure like them, and therefore they think that "stupid people make babies".
That's of course a fallacious reasoning, like saying that ducks are made of wood because both ducks and wood float, and moreover that you can make a bridge out of ducks because you can make a bridge out of wood.
Nerds actually believe they are superior to everyone else. However they cannot explain why they are forced to take on menial jobs like trash hauling, burger flipping and toilet cleaning while we Real People live fulfilling and successful lives.
Nerds are not only socially inept and lacking in any feature that we Real People take for granted, they have no clue whatsoever about how the Real World works. That's why we ignore their shrill screaming, their stomping of feet, their arms flailing, the endless and meaningless ranting of useless people.
Until they become too bothersome. At this point we grab them by their scrawny necks, bash their heads against the nearest wall, stick them heads down into a toilet, beat them up and shit on their faces.
congrats google, you've flushed your montra of "do no evil" down the proverbial johnny cash.
Serves right you and all the other loserboys. "Do no evil" is a corporate motto, it means NOTHING. The Google CEO and their administration are not your friends, they are not loserboy nerds like you. They are businessmen, and they want to MAKE MONEY.
I know you are extraordinarily bitter about having to work for the nerds you used to be mean to in highschool.
Your wish, little geek. Actually, some of the nerds I made fun of in high school work for me: they sweep my office's floor, clean my toilets, take out the trash. That's what they are good for.
And we did prove it. Sumbitch, lookit that! We did the "impossible" within the decade just to prove we had bigger nerd-dicks than the USSR did.
Correction: tech-dicks, not nerd-dicks. Nerds like you prove just how poor a grasp on the harsh reality you have. Go, tell a real propulsion specialist or physicist of your loserboy dreams, see them crushed!
And going to the Moon has never been impossible to begin with. Neither is going to any place in the Solar System, but try living out there. And beyond the Solar System? Again, no FTL travel, no Reaching the Stars. And physics says FTL can't be done, sorry. Give it up already. It's not a technical limitation that cannot be overcome, it's a physical limitation which is intrinsic to the Universe. You can't get around it. You can't go lower then Absolute Zero and you can't go faster than light, which utterly crushes your fantasies forever.
No wonder you have no imagination.
That's why I can afford three cars while you live in your parent's basement. Try again, dumb kid.
I love that you assume I am a child; simply because I refuse to be a pessimist does not make it so.
No, it just makes you immature, out of contact with the real world and childish. Pessimist? Only because I stated that we have to face reality and reality is here makes me a pessimist? I also don't believe in any god or afterlife: does knowing that one day I will cease to exist make me a pessimist? Does knowing everything we do is nugatory make me a pessimist? It's reality, a reality we have to suck down because it's not going to go away.
And I'm not the one who needs to be put on a suicide watch because I didn't get to go pro and my cheerleader girlfriend left me for the former head of the chess team.
I love the way you assume I am a sports fanatic only because of a nickname I chose in order to distance myself from you airheads. I happen to play Chess and Go, although I know I will never be able to challenge a real master. But I don't need to tell you anything more, dumb kid.
Because one day humanity will cease to exist I should shoot myself?
I can see you are too stupid to understand my point but I don't really care. One day you will come to realize this fantasies you hold so dear will never materialize, and you won't be able to find a place in the Real World you hate so much. That's when you won't be able to face life anymore.
I'm glad I don't have to live with your outlook on life and our future.
I'm happy I don't have to live with your: my life is good enough, thank you. I have a good job, a great salary and a family. I enjoy the life I have, not the one I fantasize about. Sorry you can't do the same because, as is the case with nerds, you are socially inadequate and shunned by the Real People.
I think I speak for everyone who believes that mankind needs to continue reaching for the stars
You mean you and a bunch of other nerds who think they know better than anyone? Then I speak for the rest of humanity when I say: shut your fucking mouth and get a life, asshole.
Because then we certainly won't ever leave this rock.
We won't anyway. There's nowhere for mankind to go. Take a look at the Solar System and put your pink unicorn fantasies away, and then tell me where humans can live. See any breathable atmosphere? I don't. See any ecosystem we could fit in? No. There aren't any ecosystems other than on Earth, anyway. And forget terraforming and any other fantasy which won't happen.
Face the harsh reality: science says we can't reach the stars. Speed of light anyone? There are no warp drives, no shortcuts through space-time, no way to hibernate a human being and have him survive the trip. Rule out generational ship, you can't build something as complex as a spaceship big enough and have it last through centuries, not to mention having a life support system that efficient. That is if you can stomach the thought of cooping people up in a tin can without fresh air to breathe for their whole lives, forever denying them what you little dipshit can enjoy every day of your useless life.
"We will do these things not because they are easy... but BECAUSE they are hard."
I see you swallowed JFK's slogan with no second thought. You know it was just a matter of showing that the US was more technically capable than the USSR, don't you? Oh, you didn't? Sorry. Did they tell you that Santa doesn't exist either?
I'm sorry you're so pessimistic and cynical that you don't believe we can overcome them. I'm sorry life has beaten you down so much that you can't dream.
Sorry, little nerd, that Real Life on this world is so unbearabal to you losers than you need to escape to Star Trek fantasyland, but this is the world you will live and die on. Deal with it.
But fuck you if you think you can take that from the rest of us.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And what will you do, loserboy? Flail your arms? Cry? You may as well want to live in Middle Earth, dumb kid, won't make it happen. You WILL be forced to face reality and I guess you won't be able to face it. Are you going to become another suicide statistic, dumb kid?
If we stop, we die.
So what? Everything has its time and all must die. Mankind is no exception. We are constrained by biological and physical restrictions we can't escape. Are you so stupid or deluded you think Mankind will exist forever? Because it won't. We will become extinct one day. Just like everything else sooner or later. Accept it or shoot your brains out because reality won't change for your loserboy hopes.
Nobody cares what you think, loserboy. Go back masturbating to your trekkie pedophile geek scat porn and stay put until we come around to beat you up and shit on your face.
This may be news for you, but the governments has no interest in killing a good deal of the population. One or two citizens maybe, but not tens of thousands of them. Killing too many people damages the economy, if nothing else. And if you were in the armed forces, would you be willing to serve when your buddies are killing your family and burning your hometown?
This is not Iraq or some country you can't find on a map. Kill 100 Iraqis a day, nobody cares. Kill 100 Americans a day, another matter. And don't give me the "but they were eeevil terrowrists" crap because it's not going to stand.
We're still talking about Waco more than a decade afterwards. A hundred Wacos would make Washington very, very jittery.
"Seriously, I think freedom of speech is a bit more important than being able to shoot at a turkey."
You'll lose it anyway. Gun nuts will lose their guns, you will lose your freedom of speech. And guess what, there's NOTHING you can do. Keep standing divided, they're all laughing at you.
Nobody hates the "fucking Ayatollah" because the Ayatollah can't fuck, he's impotent and has a minuscule penis. That's why he's so pissed off at the world.
So, let's say everybody hates the "un-fucking Ayatollah". Please, be accurate in your statements.
"For me, there are a few things on that list that I have no problem with if they are banned."
Great. Another shithead who reasons along the lines "I don't need it, therefore neither do you so let's ban it".
Let me guess. Are you European? Because it's Europeans who think that way. Do you hate Jews too? Are you constantly afraid for your life?
How does it feel to be a coward, Euro child molester?
"If I want them, I'll take them by force, and if I'm more effective in my violence or have more friends on my side than you have cops, well, now they're mine."
ROTFLMAO. Just try and do it, shit-eater. You'll either be killed or imprisoned, and then I'll prosecute your family into the ground. We'll make an example of you, take away your miserable belongings and rip you apart.
We don't have just the cops. We have the lawyers and the politicians. Your pitiful friends will be dispersed by baton rounds, billy clubs and tear gas. They'll be arrested en masse, prosecuted, and condemned to a lifetime of debt slavery.
You can't win. You can only die.
Spare everyone the cost (including your family who will otherwise curse your name to the end of their days) and hang yourself.

What does it feel like to be alive and dead at the same time?
The blood is the life...
Yes, because people enroll at a University to download shit, instead of working for a grade to be more competitive in the job market.
Get your head out of your ass and flush it down the toilet.
This is Slashdot, home of the loserboy nerds. The people who whine here are incapable of doing even just one of the things you mentioned.
Getting to the gym? The horror! Physical fatigue!
Loved one? What is a loved one? Maybe their virtual gf on SL.
Art? Art is dead. That's why they play videogames. Only culture they know (apart watching Star Wars for the umpteenth time).
The rest is too complex even to mention.
I have a better alternative: suicide. It would rid the world some useless people.
No, you see, when Jack Thompson was in high school he was bullied. Badly. They beat him up regularly, and humiliated him publicly. Yes, this was done even back then.

Then he shit on his face and pissed on him.
And the last thing little Jack heard before he passed out was the bully saying "Man, that Computer Space thing is COOL".
So you see, everything has an explanation.
I must respectfully disagree. I'm a German
You can stop right there: the fact that you're German immediately invalidates any point you might think you have. As a German, you're not fully human and hence your values do not apply to us.
Be so kind as to eat sauerkraut and die away from our sight. Begone, Hun.
My mom bought us a TRS 80 (remember those?)
Yes, we do remember. Keep in mind that we're not all 13-year old emo kids bitchin' about how the world is treating them bad and nobody understands them, yadda yadda yadda. Some of us actually remember the times when we actively had to hunt around for nerds to beat up instead of simply camping out of the computer room.

They don't think you are. They know it.

You hit the nail straight on the head. Those who watch BSG are nerds with no job, no kids, no life. Their family consists exclusively of their parents, in whose basement they live.

who wouldn't want to get rid of conditions that produce people who are a burden on society? (retards, etc.)
Why don't we begin immediately? Kill yourself, you'll do mankind a favour.
You spelled it wrong. It's In-turd-net, as in "a net populated by turds".
stupid people make babies.
You are making the wrong assumption that non-nerds are stupid, which is simply not true.
Nerds cannot make babies because they are unattractive, smelly and devoid of any redeeming feature. They do not attract the opposite sex and therefore cannot reproduce.

A pox on both your houses.
You're a grave man indeed.
Jack Valenti was a fucking loserboy. I shit on his face.

Yeah, especially the Inara/Kaylee lesbian scene. That would have been HOT.
