Yes please. We wonder why people are prescribed too many drugs and yet we allow the companies selling them to indoctrinate physicians and patients alike with the idea that they need more. It's insane.

Even if you could prove to me that guns were used in even half of those cases I would still say your argument has no merit. Having a gun makes no difference in those situations. If you're so pissed off that you're going to kill someone, you're going to find a way to do it. People have been beating, stabbing, bludgeoning, drowning, choking and otherwise finding ways of killing people they dislike since the dawn of man. It's foolish and naive to believe that guns have anything to do with it.

In fact, I'd say gun ownership does more to prevent crime than it does to encourage it. If I'm a big guy and I figure that I could throttle you pretty easily, but I know that you carry a gun, that may dissuade me from assaulting you. I'm not going to say with 100% certainty that it will - that would be hyperbole. I will, however, assert that it would change a lot of people's minds.

Ooooh. Well that explains why I got such lousy results when I searched for, "Should I punch Bill Gates in the face?"

I agree. My first thought when I saw this was, "I'm not going to pay for that." I'll either do without it or get it from a different source. Most sites are pretty reasonable when it comes to ads. I really don't mind having a few ads in the margins in exchange for content. Obviously there are exceptions where ads make up 90% of your screen real estate but I avoid those sites like the plague.

I left because I felt like I never got my fair share of the mod points after a raid. You think it's easy getting cowboy neal into a van? Well, you're wrong. Sure, the first time the "hey, want some candy?" line works just great. After that though, it's a lot tougher.

Yup. Hasn't this guy watched Mythbusters? He needs to hand in his geek card - now. They shot all sorts of holes into the side of their plane and it didn't do a thing. "Bullet hole in a plane = instant plane explosion" is a huge lie.

Even more so if she's your ex-wife.

It's no different than the appendix. Apparently, unless its function is obvious, we're not too good at figuring these things out.

This is just a simple way for geeks to get back their lunch money.

It's because they're completely changing their business model. Pizza Hut is now "The Hut" and they're selling pasta and crap. Radio Shack is going to become "The Shack" and sell pizza. Now we just need to wait for a pasta joint that's going to start selling electronics and the circle will be complete.

meh. The media spends so much time propagating garbage and so little doing background research I enjoy seeing them get owned like this. If you're a little guy trying to get noticed, I see no real harm in using their stupidity to your advantage. Guerrilla marketing ftw!

You can always cut elected official's salaries. I'm not sure that I've ever seen one that I thought was reasonable.

Regardless of cost it's still incredibly obnoxious having to listen to that crap. Particularly when someone either already has a long message or has gone out of his way to make a short one. Does anyone ever even use those garbage options? Page them? wtf? is this the 90's? If I'd wanted to do that I would have sent him a text.

My second favorite are the menus that start with "Please listen carefully as our options have changed blah blah blah..." It seems, almost invariably, that those messages just become permanent. Someone changes the system and forgets they added that message or never bothers to update it.

Which is why those people are screwed for life. That'll be fun to explain at job interviews with background checks... If you even get a chance to explain. The whole system is so broken it's depressing. I feel sorry for the people that have gotten themselves caught up in it.

Possibly. Just stay away from Candy Mountain.
