Comment Re: They're not going to arrest him! (Score 1) 312

Fair enough. I hope for hell it is without some kind of permit.

But a quick google search says it is in the same grey area as the drone. It simply doesn't happen often enough for there to be specific laws one way or another. Best thing people could come up with is that it would be "causing a panic." Which is pretty reasonable depending on how visible the weapon is.

Mounting a gun on my car and driving it around is illegal. Why should mounting a gun on my drone and flying it around be legal?

Now, if he was on private property and away from the public enough where the gun posed no danger to anyone... sure, knock yourself out. Same as driving a tank on private property. Flying it over public land or private property without permission, yeah that is a no-no. Same as your makeshift tank.

Now, if your backyard is sufficiently small, there may be no way to safely fly the thing. This is the grey area that the laws need to figure out.

This appears to be one of those "conclusion first" studies, especially after seeing all the loaded questions in the survey, (which I could not complete due to the lack of n/a options). I have no confidence in OP's ability to be objective, considering his degree is in security, which relies on companies being overzealous.

Funny. Have you noticed that you could replace "poacher" with "burglar" and it would just work out, too?

With maybe the difference that you wouldn't be modded insightful but flamebait, because it's A-OK to blow someone's guts out over your stereo rather than some rhino horns.

Exactly. Then, change "burglar" to "foreigner" or "jew" or "fag" and, wow, look what we have done.

The ability to treat other humans as less than life is sociopathic. Even if the other humans are assholes and criminals. Teaching children to treat other humans like dirt makes you less than dirt.

But, we am going against the groupthink. It should be KILL KILL KILL, as long as we are killing the groups that are different from us, right?

Comment Re:broad concepts that bind... (Score 1) 273

The problem I have is that the "physical therapist chiropractors" seem to be totally fine with the quacks existing. I have never once heard of a chiropractor being against the quack ones. So in that case they are helping perpetuate it.

Maybe I am being unfair, but I think I am totally justified.

Anecdotes are useless, I could counter that with one where I went to a chiropractor and it did not help at all. My anecdote is just as useless I am glad your pain is gone, though.

What I really want to know is; was the chiropractor also claiming to cure cancer and the common cold? Was the place decorated with healing crystals and connected to a magic healing spa that would cure gout? Those are the ones that piss me off.

The reason I am fine lumping them together with the "real" chiropractors is that the "real" chiropractors do nothing to show that the quacks are quacks.

Comment Pandering (Score 1, Insightful) 504

The cast's "Racial and Sexual Diversity" is more important than having a plot, hiring good actors, making a good movie.

The funny thing is that people that bitch about such things aren't even the target audience for this kind of media. They aren't going to go see the movie anyhow, they are just going to post to tumblr and youtube about how "fair or unfair" it is and ignore it's content.
