Jokes about Cannibalism are funny . . . but when push comes to shove, humans don't taste good.
If we did taste good, we would have eaten each other all up, before the Internet was invented for me to post this.

. we need to cut the human population in half in the next 100 years (by breeding less, not killing people off) if we really want to sustain the earth
. . . and you are preaching to the Slashdot crowd about breeding less . . . ? Sorry, that doesn't sound very effective to me . . .
Now, if you want to talk about killing people off, the folks here will be thrilled to serve you up unfeasible ideas about sharks with lasers, smothering with gamma ray enhanced testicles, and the like.
The Human Species are one tough bad add mutha fucka . . . they ain't going away any time real soon . . . without an Armageddon fight.
RT. the "Russian Times" is the political mouth of Putin to the masses. Anyone who would believe anything that comes out of that rag, well . . . should be given a good home from the rest of their lives.
Yes, France and Germany are responsible for the conflict in the Ukraine. Crimea was always a "traditional" part of Russia.
Wales, too!
I'm just waiting for drones that will simultaneously cut my lawn and deter burglars.
Why not drones that *cut burglars* and *deter the lawn* from growing?
Well, a robotic sprinkler that sprayed Agent Orange would be half of the solution. The idea would need to be more developed, but I'm thinking that DARPA would cough up the cash for that.
The gov't should convince insurance companies to band together and pony up the cash.
This reminds me of an old Monty Python joke. When asked about tax policies, one bowler hat guy quips: "I think we should tax foreigners, living abroad!"
In any democracy, one thing is certain: A bunch of folks think that a bunch of other folks should pay for something all of them need.
"Oh and good luck getting Hillary's email because no one here has it either."
Oh, what sad times have befallen Slashdot, when no one knows Hillary's email address!
C'mon Slashdotters! Do that "my niece's boyfriend delivers newspapers to someone who used to live next door to Hillary Clinton once . . . "
We can stretch it . . . a bit . . . !
The Russian security services told the FBI that the Boston Bombing Brothers were up to no good. The FBI did a perfunctorily check, and then let them go on with their terrorist work.
The Secret Squirrels should not be monitoring all Americans. They should be tracking terrorists!
Schtink tanks think, whatever the person who is funding the Schtink tank thinks, that they should think. You get what you pay for.
I met a guy in the US from IBM India who was working for their "Global Services" division. There were four of them living in a two bedroom apartment. I ask him out to lunch, but he said that they always cooked at home, because they couldn't afford to go out for lunch.
Yep, that the way American managers would like to keep us, as well.
Lots of theories about the demise of these civilizations.
As Jared Diamond said, all you need are: Guns, Germans and Steel. If you buy a Heckler & Koch MP7, you get three in one, and are ready to conquer South America.
Hey, you da big Inca? You think you bad, mutha fucka . . . ? Meet Heckler & Koch!
I'm gonna just chalk this up to anti-American bias.
I'm American.
Wikipedia tells us this about the "Association of Global Automakers": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
The Association of Global Automakers (Global Automakers) is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association and Lobby group whose members include international automobile and light duty truck manufacturers that build and sell products in the United States.
However, most bizarrely, here is the member list: Aston Martin, Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Isuzu, KIA, Maserati, McLaren, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Notably missing, the Americans and the Germans. So this looks more like this is coming from some sort of Asian lobbying group.
So I will have to correct my statement in my original post:
So simple solution . . . don't buy an Asian car, if you want to own your vehicle.
TFA doesn't say which "Automakers" are in on this. I'm guessing that this is an American-only cabal. Although Chrysler is really an Italian company, as it is owned by Fiat.
So simple solution . . . don't buy an American car, if you want to own your vehicle.
"In over 35 years as a cop, this is one of the oddest reasons I've seen for assault,"
You mean alcohol?
Pick a couple of rabid folks from the emacs vs. vi crowd, give them a case of Bud in long-necks . . . and you will probably end up with the same behavior.
They should be split up, not merged, dammit!
I personally volunteer to do the splitting up!
. . . with a chainsaw. I think it would be best to start at the top. With their executives. The normal foot folks can stay as they are.
Nitrous oxide, aka. NO2 or Laughing gas, would let the bastards go out laughing their asses off. Then there would be no debate about the cruelty of the death penalty method.
Actually, it doesn't make you laugh, but you space out a bit. If you want to try it, just buy a can of whipped cream at your local supermarket. DO NOT shake the can. Hold it the can upright, stick it in your mouth, press on the dispenser thing, and inhale. DO NOT exhale immediately. The effects will last about 30 seconds, during which you will have all sorts of dreamy thoughts about how huge the universe is.
If a death penalty candidate is given a steady flow of this, he will be asphyxiate, because he will be some deep in his dreams, that he will forget to breathe.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
