More pseudoscience. They say that they're not sure whether this means that porn shrinks your brain, or if the shrunken brain causes porn viewing. But, this leaves out the very real possibility that this correlation means nothing whatsoever. The site below collects correlations that look pretty convincing in the graphs, but quite obviously are unlikely to be cases of causation in either direction:
OK, then maybe we should go the other extreme. Lets take Kennesaw, GA- http://www.freerepublic.com/fo... or http://www.wnd.com/2007/04/411...
Every head of household is required to own a gun. Their crime rates, including murder, are down across the board. Morton, IL that took the opposite route banned all Guns, and has had increased crime rates.
Then there is Switzerland, with the majority of households owning a gun. They have a murder rate of
So maybe the answer is to have everyone trained and own a gun. After all, everything is on the table.
Or maybe we should look into curing our social ills. Removing guns from law abiding citizens does not remove them from criminals and case studies show that it emboldens criminals. I agree, we need to do something, taking away guns is not the answer.
About the only way to get open standards is to use FOSS. There are also benefits that will spur the local economy as proven with the recent story on Munich. Plenty of FOSS projects are best of class. It is not just about up front costs or installation and configuration. What are the ongoing support costs? For a given number of servers, it usually means more Windows admins that Unix/Linux admins. Unix/Linux can do more on given hardware than Windows. When Microsoft transitioned Hotmail from BSD to Windows Server, they had to more than double the amount of servers to achieve the same performance.
Plenty of Government uses FOSS- http://leeunderwood.org/linux/...
There are even more undocumented cases, but I am not at liberty to divulge that information.
> I don't buy for a second that men are more likely to be the victims of violence, intimidation and other physical threats.
What planet do you live on? Planet feminism? Go look up some statistics. You know,some factual information.
inb4 facts are mean, and patriarchal.
> From one male nerd to another: not acceptable.
Give me a break. Please turn off white knight mode before you embarrass yourself further.
> The whole point is women can't know a-priori who the good guys are and the penalty is being raped or killed
Here's a hint: it's hard to know whether a women is a bad risk too. 5% of women have borderline personality disorder. Another 1% bipolar, 1% schizophrenics, all in all crazy adds up to around 15% of women, and they often look just fine. And they can wreck your life.

You post is typical of its genre in that you show absolutely no appreciation or empathy for the problems men have. There is no balance in your post. A complete lack of quantified factual information. But lots of "muh feelz".
Far more men than women are subject to capital punishment including stoning, but you only care about the women.
Men are far more subject to violence than women.yet the calls are all for "an end to violence AGAINST WOMEN":
Far more men have their genital mutilated than women (and just as severely based on loss of nerve endings) but feminists like you don't give a damn.
> Seriously, read TFA, it's a thoughftul piece.
Yes I read it. Another fact-free piece hating on men and shaming them.
No he didn't hang around men's rights sites.
The closest he got was his enthusiastic participation in an ANTI pickup artist site. That is a site that shames men for trying to make themselves more attractive to women.
He hated women, but he hated men just as much. 4 of the 6 people he killed were men. He had fantasies about killing all the men in the world other than himself Saying this case is about misogyny is laughable.
Also noticeable how we are again getting stuck into white males. Even though Rodgers was half Jewish half Asian hardly a typical white American. When a man does a bad thing he has to be redefined as 'white', as with George Zimmerman, a hispanic with recent black ancestry who shot a black thug who had attacked him. Zimmerman had to be redefined as white, even to the extent of his pictures in the media being retouched to make his skin color whiter,
> The paperback edition of Brad Stone's The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon — a book Amazon disliked so much it denounced it — is suddenly listed as 'unavailable.
This would be disturbing if true.
I just did a search, All editions are available and in fact I just bought the Kindle edition now.
Or go the Red Hat or SUSE solution. For RHEL, you buy an rhn subscription and use Satellite, or go free and use CentOS and Spacewalk. On SUSE use SUSE Manager, it will manage Red Hat as well. One could use Spacewalk to manage SUSE as well.
Satellite is reported to cost $10000 but that is a flat fee, not a per client based license. So for Munich with 15000 clients, that is way cheaper than other options including Microsoft. SUSE says that SUSE manager is up to 50% cheaper than Satellite.
No, we should value our neighbor more than some remote individual in another country. Besides the ethical and moral considerations, there are practical ones as well. If your neighbor has a job, he will not have to steal from you to survive. there will be networks effects where the area improves as more people have moeny and spend it. look at urban renewal efforts where as people see improvements and have stable jobs they improve their properties and it encourages their neighbors to improve their properties. The reverse happens all too often as well.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
