Sure but some of us live in parts of the world where notice is required. It's nice, you americans should give it a try.

Protip: I live in Canada, and know that the US has left-leaning parties. The only person that's a part of the ignorant majority appears to be you.

No you were just unclear to people who don't know what it is.

Okay, and that has what to do with the original question. You seem to have gone off in left field.

You must be new here. /. has been like this for nearly 8-9 years.

Yeah well, it's pretty funny that in the US the majority of the main media organizations lean left. Some days I can't tell the difference between NBC and the CBC.

So in what part of society where the person is so broken that they go out and cause oh murder, mass murder, and so on? Seems to me that it isn't a 'society problem' but rather an individual problem relating to either psychopathy or indoctrination.

Some people have this belief that in order to be ethical, you don't shill. That there are no financial ties, that the people involved have disclosure if there are any related issues. I realize that this is a difficult subject for some people to understand, but if you want to know why, you only need to look at the mess ABC news is in.

This is an extension of the clickbait culture that exists with sites like gawker, kotaku, polygon, vox and so on.

You're mostly right, except of course it removes those who would commit the same crime again.

Where am I offended?

Why do I get the feeling you're one of the "disagreement = harassment" types.

The perpetually offended are a cancer to the STEM master race.

My grandmother used a NSI cell when she had VOIP service down in florida and for when she was traveling through the US. She was in her late 70's at the time, she had no need for a functioning cell, only the need in case there was an emergency. The best answer is to register the phones, and when some little shit rat decides to go "hur-dur-dur I'm in ur 911 fuckin' you up" slap them with the cost of dispatching EMS.

I tried that, then the neo-puritan and 3rd wave radical feminists showed up and tried blaming videogames for all the worlds ills.

It's not my job to prove your point, that's your job when someone asks for it. And scientology is as much of a religion as meth is to a healthy lifestyle.

Then you should be easily able to prove your point right?
