What the fuck does pregnancy have to do with this? asukasoryu's point was that if you cum in a girl without a condom, Kleenex can be used to clean up the mess. That's it.

No, he was implying that if you cum inside a girl with no condom, there is a mess afterwards to clean up. And, for some girls, he is right. With some girls it doesn't all stay inside after you're done.

Re-reading the OP's post, I think I misunderstood his point. I thought he was talking about legally getting away with defending himself, not actually protecting himself with a firearm. I was mistaken. I bow my head in shame.

In both of those stories, the intruder who was killed had discharged a firearm first. Granted, the parent didn't specify that in his list, but it was there in spirit. His point was that you can't even shoot someone who's breaking into your home, let alone attaching a tracking device to your car, as long as they don't attack you directly.

You make it sound like security is just some on/off switch that they forgot to turn on before making the code publicly viewable. That's not how it works. There will always be security improvements to be made to anything, and even... *gasp*... bugs. Especially in a pre-alpha. (If you don't believe me, then show me a major piece of software that's never had a security patch released).

I mean, christ, the code isn't done! They were just making it viewable it to the public so they could get suggestions for improvement. You know, open source and stuff?

No one called it sacrilege, they called it dishonest, because those actions are considered to be theft. And yes, even if your employer is very, VERY mean to you, stealing things from him/her is still theft. It may or may not be justified, but there is no way to argue that it is not theft.

Also, the survey didn't ask people if they would steal a couple boxes of pens from an employer that treated them like shit, cut their pay, bullied them into long hours, and fired them. Rather, the survey asked if people would steal office supplies and/or data from a job that they were leaving. That's all.

In short, stop dramatizing the argument and stick with the facts.

Every time an article comes up involving child pornography I know I'm going to be pissed off by the time I'm done reading the comments. And I was right. Each time I read someone's story like yours (a friend having his life ruined by these laws), part of me dies.

If I had one wish, it would be that every one of these "think of the children!" fuckers gets a microchip implanted in them. The instant that chip detects the person is sexually aroused by a guy/girl under the age of 18, they are immediately convicted as sex offenders and sent to prison for life. That's the only way we can REALLY protect the children, right?

Is that some sort of new female rapper? And who's this Kopete that's working on top of her?

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean when you say "get rid of blue video"? I have VDPAU set in VLC and I've never had a problem with it

You can thank me for that -- Windows 7 was my idea.

At which point people will just start using 3rd party adblocking software again to block all ads, and the cycle continues. Either:

1. Google will predict this cycle happening and thus won't bother trying such a stupid scheme, or
2. Google will not predict this cycle happening, will try what you suggested, and we'll get 3rd party adblocking tools again to compensate for punch-the-monkey ads.

Either way, we've nothing to worry about.

I would argue that you are not a typical desktop user, which is clearly what the GP was getting at.

Oh thank god, I was starting to think that I was the only one who did stuff like this as a child. So I'm not the only opponent of super-micro-management parenting...

There may not be a commandment that reflects those ideals, but it's sure as hell implied very frequently in the Christian bible. Moses was commanded by God to, with his army of Levi priests, slaughter 3000 Israelites who had started worshiping a golden cow at the bottom of Mount Sinai. (Exodus 32). Sounds like God-directed ethnic cleansing to me.

Later, Moses takes his army and goes to war against the Midianites. After his soldiers report that they've killed every man in the city but spared the women and children, Moses commands them to go back and slaughter all the child and non-virgin women, but to keep the virgin women for themselves, effectively to use a fuck toys. (Numbers 31)

There's dozens of other examples of God's "righteous wrath" being used as the sole reasons to slaughter thousands of people and destroy any religious artifact that doesn't make God happy. (Hell, even when people are TRYING to make God happy but don't do it quite the right way, he tortures and/or kills them)

So to summarize your post: You summarized his post.
