My arguments were always from the perspective of "if the law says Zimmerman was right, then the law is fucking stupid". If he tried that here, he'd be arrested for having a gun in the first place. Florida (and indeed the majority of the US) having backwards laws doesn't mean he was right, just that he was legally in the clear.

If he never left his car with a gun, none of this would ever have happened. That's enough for me.

What's upsetting is watching one user argue with a whole board where the one user is making an argument with actual facts, whereas the rest of the users In this thread with the exception of one that I saw (although I admit come page 4 I started skimming) have responded not with facts, but solely emotion and opinion.

What's even more upsetting is that these users who repeatedly refuse to adress the facts presented to them only to either change the subject by saying something irrelevent to said facts, or attack the user personally and try to dismiss him soley because he has a contrarian option ACTUALLY seem to believe they are in the right here. Its interesting but also sad to see, this is why living in echo chambers can be so dangerous. You're logically flawed ways of thinking are encouraged by other members of the majority and you end up thinking that it is just and fair to believe in opinion more than facts, because your peers act the same way.

"Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding."

I have cop friends that aren't like this at all. Stop grouping good cops with the bad/inept ones. It just makes it harder for the system to overhaul itself if good cops are getting victimized because of shit their co-workers do.

Why don't the good ones start up a new department with only good cops?

It plays GameCube games? Or do you mean remastered ones like Wind Walker

It has a Wii built in, which is just an upscaled Gamecube. Nintendo doesn't let you pay them money for Gamecube games, or put your Gamecube games into the console, because I guess they hate money, but it has flawless Gamecube loading built into the system.

politics aside, when people talk like this, they are being naive. you really think the governments of the world are gonna just suddenly forget about borders? this is how the world works. if you don't believe in imaginary lines, go get on a plane to Korea and go to the DMZ at the North/South border and try to just stroll on into North Korea. if anyone tries to stop you, tell them it's just an imaginary line

Be the change you want to see in the world. If enough people start thinking of borders this way, we'll eventually vote in people who have these views.

Nah, multiple systems and multiple SD cards. In fact I think one of the times my maps disappeared was when I system transferred to my new3ds.

Conversely, RF4 saves actively corrupt anything I run em on. Lost a computer harddrive because I decided to emulate the game. It's a running gag for me, anything I run the game on will die, but it's such a good game I will keep playing it

Does it still do that stupid shit where it saves your maps separately so that they can get wiped?

Cause I lost my Persona Q maps twice and then never got around to finishing the game, and that's prevented me from even bothering to try the second one.

Should have just stuck with Strange Journey style maps, that shit saved to the cartridge like a normal fucking map

Yes, but calling that a stereotype is false equivalence, because they are, by definition, a team of swimmers. The only way your logic works is if 'stereotype' and 'definition' are interchangeable.

Speaking of definitions, do you know the definition of stereotype?

I know that definitions can change, and we can reclaim the word and turn it into a good thing. Make the two interchangeable and they will no longer be bad
