And people wanted countries like China to have a say in the UN about how the Internet is regulated.

Lol.

B..but...but what about the BILLIONS of dollars Apple has spent on R&D thinking up pinch to zoom, rubber banding, and rounded corners?

Billions I say!

I carry my nook around in my hand wherever I go. Literally wherever. If I need to wait in a queue, I pull it out for a few minutes worth of reading. Waiting for a movie to start? Do some reading. And a single charge lasts for almost a month.

There is no way I'm carting around a heavy tablet double the size. Not to mention I want to keep my eyes from exploding after a while.

I read a lot and LCD screens don't hold a candle to ereader screens. For the sake of my eyes...I will always use E-ink.

I find it tough to accept that eternal hell can ever be a punishment for anything no matter how monstrous.

In a country with hundreds of millions of people, there will always be nutcases. It's statistics. You can't stop nutjobs from existing.

Cars have other uses.

The likelihood of the bodycount being lower is very high. Look at news from China today where a guy went on a mass stabbing spree - some 22 people were stabbed. But no one died.

It's not easy to go around stabbing dozens of people. Ergo more preferable. Why make a killer's job easy?

But you pretty much only risk yourself. So less of a concern. Certainly it's not easy to take out 18 other people along with yourself.

I can guarantee you that if I had a gun and heard shooting........I would still run in the opposite direction regardless.

The instinct of self preservation is strong in me.

Something less dangerous will by definition lead to fewer casualties. So yeah...we all wish this guy had gone in with a knife instead.

It takes at least some effort and knowledge to build a pipe bomb that actually works. None whatsoever to shoot. Ergo, the latter will occur more often and the former less often.

No one died in that mass stabbing. I think you see the point.

I guarantee you that stabbing and killing 18 kids with a knife is not easy. Gimme a nice gun for the job however...

Making a bomb and detonating it requires at least some effort on the part of the crazy. Pressing a trigger of a gun you just bought off a shelf...doesn't.
