How do you guys get that Selleck won his argument with Rosie? Basically all he said the entire time is "I'm not the NRA" nevermind that the only reason the issue came up is because he did an ad 8 months prior that said "I am the NRA". Not only that but he later admits that he hadn't been a...

That answer to this question is in many cases, yes. The entire point of domestication is that we breed and train the animal to remove distinct portions of their nature while adding those that we desire, this makes the animal more useful and safer for us. One of the byproducts of this breeding...

Yes it is over the top. Completely and violently over the top. It's a nonsentient, instinctual, and possibly packish dog, that the officer believed was killing wild game. In your (and all the anthropomorphizers) opinion this dog somehow has human qualities and characteristics, which if you...

Criminal Empowerment

ND is great. Guns are still seen a tool by most of the people and no attempts to demonize them has been successful. It's really nice to hear the authorities blame the criminals for their crimes not inaminimate objects. Especially with all the stupidity that I see in the national media...

The requirement to take a punch or two is absurd. ANY blow to the head is potentially fatal or capable or inflicting grevious bodily harm. Even minor concussions have been known to cause death as have unexpected outcomes like tumors, aneurisms, and enlarged blood vessels that all effect how...

I just don't get why this debate is still ongoing. Any technically minded person who has spent any period of time with the Diebold equipment knows that they're a giant cesspool of security holes. I realize the government is involved, but even I believe that there must be a limit to its...

I'll discuss the actual question. Maser, your use of the justifiable homocide (that's what you described), while technically correct was not wise. When dealing with someone who clearly reacts emotionally to a situation (violence in this case), it is best to avoid using examples that allow...

The fact that the Department of Homeland Security had both the worst electronic and physical security rankings of every department in the US government should give you a great idea of how well they do at securing their own territories.

The idiots of the world have been defeating the designs and inventions of the most brilliant men since the beginning of written history. I'm sure that no matter how dumb, poorly designed, or blatantly wrong a campaign by the Brady Campaign is, they'll find a way to keep pace with the continued...

You should be happy that Bush apologized. We could have elected Cheney instead. I guarantee that he wouldn't apologize for anything. Including shooting you in the face... now it's gun related.

Your actions should be determined by your desired outcome. If your goal is to simply get him to stop, get a BIG tape recorder, make a big deal out of its presence, make sure it's prominently displayed, and make a big deal of turning it on every day. If challenged about it, say that you're...

You should really use a sandblaster followed by a wipe down with ammonia or gas to get any of the dirt off and get good adhesion from the paint. If you're just looking for quick, spray them with whatever after wiping them with a solvent. However, to really make it last, you need to use a metal...

This isn't as an explicit violation (if at all) of the Gun-Free School Zone Act of 95 as the article wants people to believe (big surprise). There are decidedly demonstrational AND an instructional elements to this experiment. Either of these reasons would easily fit the discharge into one of...

I always ask to see a state issued ID. I don't copy anything down or even remember anything, but I live on the border of two states and given the confusion that often occurs with residency requirements (especially when people maintain residency in both states at different parts of the year)...
