If you complete the class with a passing grade, go nuts and purchase a fully auto silenced p90. Maybe if you're buying a handgun. There's no point in adding the regulation to long-guns. And unreasonable regulation can be unconstitutional. kangolcone posted... Weird because we are the only western country that hasnt figured it out. Are other countries that much smarter that they have come up with super advanced solutions? kangolcone posted... And yet they all have significantly less gun violence. Its almost as if they have additional regulations that they have all implemented which are lacking in the US. Have you been to Mexico? Mexico has much stricter gun control than the US and yet its gun violence rates are far higher. Brazil also has stricter gun control (including psychological exams) and higher per capita gun deaths. It's almost like you don't know the fuck you're talking about. Not to mention that the real issue isn't just "gun violence," but violence in general.

Zeus 09/25/18 2:57:58 AM #29	Kyuubi4269 posted... Zeus posted... murder is objectively worse than rape. Well I'd rather die than be sodomised, so... People say that, but victims who were raped by armed assailants never seem to take the option of being shot or stabbed. People will go to almost unimaginable lengths to stay alive -- including cannibalism to avoid starvation -- so it seems more likely that victims would do what it takes to survive. Revelation34 posted... Zeus posted... More to the point, murder is objectively worse than rape. No, please, explain in detail why you feel that rape is worse than murder. We're all dying to hear you explain the rationale behind your ridiculous opinion. InhumaneRaider posted... Zeus posted... Anybody who could make a convoluted justification for murder could make a convoluted justification for rape (or, more realistically, an excuse for it). Likewise, people who could justify concealing a murder could easily justify covering up a rape. Well, there's self-defense, accidental, revenge, cold-blooded. There's some intricacy to murder... Rape...mmm, not so much. Not really true, since for starters if you sleep with a drunk chick even when you're also drunk, you can be convicted of rape. And there are legislators trying to push through affirmative consent laws where passive consent (ie, she doesn't say no or otherwise refuse, but she's not enthusiastic) is considered rape. And that's not even touching on AoC laws where it's legally rape even if the girl not only lies about her age, but is carrying a fake ID attesting to that age. And, while you somehow think "revenge" is a justifiable reason for murder (which it absolutely isn't), I should point out that rape has also been used for revenge both as a cultural practice in some nations (usually retaliating for rape or even a consensual sexual encounter outside marriage) and on a personal basis in other places. But, again, "revenge" isn't a justifiable reason for those kinds of crimes. synth_real posted... If somebody I trusted murdered somebody, I'd probably be the guy they called to help them dispose of the body.

All of the advertising is just BBC trying to call back the fans after the damage that Moffat had done. Should this run of DW fail, however, it might be the final (chib)nail in the show's coffin (again thanks to Moffat). If you don't like or care for DW at all, fine, but don't expect everyone else to agree with your sentiment. The recent changes aren't exactly the kind of thing that's going to get me back into the series. Granted, I ad-block and rarely ever watch cable so I also haven't seen any of the ads.

It's an article about discriminating against smart people who apply to be cops I had initially missed the link when I first responded, but it doesn't change the fact that he's been going hard on that anti-cop bias for a while now (including a long string of cringeworthy statements in that other cop topic). If you want anything negative about cops, you can turn to BAD for it. As for the broader issue of "intelligence discrimination," part of a recruiter's job is to evaluate how likely a candidate is to stick around which is why people who are overqualified for jobs in some form often lose out to less-qualified individuals. And, of course, this was a single police department's policy whereas BAD's wording implies that it's a national trend. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

And, tbh, if it flopped, it just fucks over a franchise and possibly a genre because protests and lack of interest look the same to companies. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

Zeus 09/24/18 3:11:59 PM #16	"Skinny"? lolwut? And not just skinny, but you say SKINNY. She's clearly a bit on the heavier side Full Throttle posted... Marc already has a DAUGHTER named Kaelyn who is FIFTEEN and she APPROVES of her new step mom because now they can be "sisters" and do shopping trips and watching tv. Cringe. Full Throttle posted... Nontheless, it's been a year and a half since they got married and now they can't wait to have kids and show the world that age does not matter... Not for nothing, their age difference may be wide but it's not ridiculously so. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

Zeus 09/24/18 3:08:31 PM #37	Kyuubi4269 posted... He, legally speaking, ignored consent law, that means he isn't stopped by law and could well be willing to do younger. You mean after a girl lied about her age? And what about looking at a dating site with a minimum age of 18 suggests that the man wants to go younger than 16? Because if anything, looking at a 18+ dating site suggests he wants 18 or older. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

Zeus 09/24/18 2:27:04 PM #32	Kyuubi4269 posted... Revelation34 posted... Kyuubi4269 posted... He committed a sex crime against a below AoC person and escaped to another country. That country will want to see to it that their children don't get the same treatment. He actually didn't. She clearly lied about her age. Ignorance is not a defense of the law. That's not the same thing as ignorance of the law. However, it's kind of an inherent issue with AoC laws since even if a guy was shown a fake ID, he's still on the hook despite having performed every reasonable due diligence to confirm that his partner was of consenting age. Kyuubi4269 posted... And I claimed he commited an AoC crime, which would be in the interest of Taiwan (and the media) to monitor. Taiwan wouldn't have to worry about somebody wanting to have sex with 16 y/os since their AOC is 16. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

I guess it depends on the crime, the circumstances under which it was committed, the nature of the friendship, and what I could actually contribute to the investigation. SonnerAnarchy posted... We're walking the line of Murder, Robbery, etc. I'd like to think you would all tell the cops if someone raped someone else. Wait, so you'd "like to think we'd tell" if somebody raped, but not if they murdered? >_> They could have a reason they committed that murder, some people are loyal and will help you bury the body. I don't think there is any reason to rape. Anybody who could make a convoluted justification for murder could make a convoluted justification for rape (or, more realistically, an excuse for it). Likewise, people who could justify concealing a murder could easily justify covering up a rape More to the point, murder is objectively worse than rape. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.
Topic	How do you feel about the police?
Zeus 09/24/18 1:53:11 PM #53	BADoglick posted... Despise them. For several reasons. The primary reason being the extortion that they commit on such a regular basis. Fines for the sake of satisfying quotas in order to generate revenue for the state=extortion. lol... BADoglick posted... One night we're at a party, we are all of age, and two people get in a fight over a girl. We call the cops. So the cops get there and immediately start drawing their weapons on everyone and forcing us all into a circle where they search us at gunpoint. When we called them to help us. My one friend was passed out and not waking up quickly enough, so a cop felt it necessary to hold his eye open and pepper spray him directly on the eye ball from an inch away. Sounds like absolute bullshit. Hell, even the part about you calling the cops to intervene in a fight -- something people at a party usually break up themselves -- kinda sounds like bullshit. BADoglick posted... And civil asset forfeiture is quite literally a racket used to steal money from people before they are even convicted. Not a cop problem, that's a law problem. BADoglick posted... Yet I never see any 'good cops' saying 'hey maybe we shouldn't kill so many dogs, beat our wives, or steal money from people who haven't been convicted. lolwut? If you think that about cops, I can't imagine what you think about minorities. BADoglick posted... Maybe we shouldn't stick up for *off duty officers who commit premeditated* murder** by slapping them on the wrists and intentionally failing to fully investigate them? Sounds like you're deliberately fudging an event, but I'll let you cite your examples. BADoglick posted... My gf and I were in a car accident. We call 911. Cops response 'Is your car driveable and you're not seriously injured? Ok then clear the debris yourself' click Bullshit. Cops will drive out to accidents even when there's no visible damage to either vehicle. I've been no-damage accidents where dispatch insisted that a cop look things over anyway. BADoglick posted... We also had three men try to break into our house the night before Thanksgiving at 3 am. So I call the cops. Their response? "Did they get in? No? Ok call us when they do". Not sure what you were expecting them to do. Drive around and question anybody they see walking? --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.

Zeus 09/24/18 1:32:39 PM #52	I tolerate them; normally you'd only interact with the cops if you did something (or were accused of doing something) wrong or had called them because somebody else did something wrong, which means that most interactions won't be happy ones. If I'm out walking at night, sometimes cops will roll up and ask questions. Sometimes when I've parked near a Pokestop or gym at night, cops will roll up, ask questions, run my plates, and then tell me to leave. And once or twice I guess I stood near a Pokestop too long during the day too long and a cop rolled up and asked questions. Oh, three or four years ago the cops helped me open my car when my keys had fallen out of my pocket. I had to wait like half an hour for an officer to show and it took them like 10 or 15 minutes, but I guess no matter who I called I'd probably have to wait. TheOrangeMisfit posted... Though I also wish they'd spend more time solving important crimes like theft and murder than minor drug charges and especially speed traps. ...setting speed traps helps to prevent deaths. Plus those are different departments anyway and, when cops do their jobs well, they prevent more murders than they get stuck solving. argonautweakend posted... Well Link...gonna be brief but i still belive he did nothing wrong. Our belief(mine and his as hes been calling often) is that somebody in the family or a family friend did it and my friend is being used as a scapegoat. Police still seem to have no evidence. Trial is set for november and while things could change between now and then...this should go his way. More or less what men can expect from the criminal justice system. And, even if they have no evidence, his gender might be evidence enough since men are far more likely to convicted of a crime than women. man101 posted... Problem with police as with many professions is that it's not particularly well paying for what you have to put up with. Which means you don't have many people who are just doing it as a means to pay the bills; You just have people who do it because they really believe in it and people who do it because they want something the job provides other than the money. The latter in this case being control and authority. So in a way the job is selecting people with a superiority complex and people who want to have guns and wear an outfit. People who are the exact opposite personality types that you want to have doing exactly that job. I like to think there are more police who fall into the category of wanting to upholding the law than not. But the good ones don't do enough to police (haw) the assholes among them who don't belong. The police pay pretty generously and have great benefits. They're eligible for their pension at age 55 whereas most people can't afford to retire until at least 65. ReturnOfFa posted... I generally dislike the police, seeing as the requirements to get into the force aren't stringent enough. Given that one of my cousins has tried to get into the police force for close to a decade, I'd say that their requirements are pretty strict (or there aren't many available jobs). ReturnOfFa posted... I grew up in a town where the cops mostly confiscated weed from minors/young adults without writing tickets, AKA taking said weed for their own consumption. Would you have liked the ticket or jail time? --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist.
