Since you're always commenting here, and always having those comments shredded, you must be a masochist. I would be a masochist too if I were to constantly argue against Islam to a group of Muslim fundamentalists.
No, you would be a troll. Which is all that OOTB is. If instead of "having those comments shredded" everyone ignored him, he'd eventually grow tired of his game and go away.
Hmmm, explosives are illegal without proper permits and licenses, yet without these permits and licenses Timothy McVeigh somehow managed to load a box van with enough home made explosives to kill 168 people and injure another 680. This incident renders moot every liberal's call to ban guns whenever a mass shooting happens. If a psychopath has a will, they'll find a way, laws or no laws, guns or no guns. Now sit down and keep quite.
"Gun violence defined literally means the use of a firearm to threaten or inflict violence or harm. Gun violence may be broadly defined as a category of violence and crime committed with the use of a firearm; it may[1] or may not[2][3] include actions ruled as self-defense, actions for law enforcement, or the safe lawful use of firearms for sport, hunting, and target practice. Gun violence encompasses intentional crime characterized as homicide (although not all homicide is automatically a crime) and assault with a deadly weapon, as well as unintentional injury and death resulting from the misuse of firearms, sometimes by children and adolescents.[4][dead link] Gun violence statistics also may include self-inflicted gunshot wounds (both suicide, attempted suicide and suicide/homicide combinations sometimes seen within families).[5]"
So you're counting suicides by gun in your statistics? As well as self defense and police shootings? Very compelling argument ya got there.
Oh, and as far as you trying to make a causal link between strict gun laws and homicides, try looking at Zimbabwe's figures. Guns are illegal there, yet their Gun Homicides per 100,000 is at 4.75, so your little comparison proves nothing. Outlawing guns does little to nothing to prevent gun violence. I'm sure if Columbia banned all firearms, it's rate of firearm homicides would hardly drop, as I doubt the drug cartels would stop using them. What a dolt you are if you think that's the solution.
You clearly don't understand how religious fanaticism works. This will be explained to the gullible sheep as a "trial" or "Satan's attempt to destroy our church," and will serve to further bond the faithful to the pastor. Some may leave, but those that stay will be convinced that they are fighting the good fight against evil reprobates.
I can't wait to get my Pebble in September. At least I hope I get it...
This is the risk of investing in Kickstarter. If the project falls apart, you lose out, just like any investment in a startup. But if the Pebble takes off and becomes the next Apple II, all I get is the watch I donated towards. I guess some day I could sell the watch as a piece of history ("One of only 85,000!"), but I wish they had an option to buy actual stock in the company.
Sorry, if I was ever sympathetic to your role as cheerleader for free music, you just lost the last 1% of sympathy I had.
Clearly you never were sympathetic to his role.
Let me ask you this, if you don't need Waves to create great music, why do they even exist? If they serve no purpose in creating great music, why would they cost thousands of pounds?
Thanks a lot, Mike. Now you've given someone the idea to patent and/or trademark a smell. It'll start with high end perfumes, like Calvin Clien's Obsession. With the way Louis Vitton sues over trademark, you think they wouldn't jump on this idea? I'm surprised they haven't trademarked the smell of their handbags.
As soon as Nestle gets the patent on chocolate chip cookie scent, no bakery can ever have that scent eminating from their shop without a license. Then were looking at a whole new set of collection groups.
It's too bad the field is already pretty flat, what you are trying to do is make things 100% on the consumers side, and screw the producers, greedy bastards actually trying to make money selling a product that people want.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh, that is rich! That's a good one! It's funny because it's totally absurd! If they actually made products people wanted, they wouldn't need a government monopoly.
The idea is that people often do go to physical stores, see something, and decide to buy it online (or worse, pirate it online).
If that's their idea, it's an idiotic idea. If you decide to buy the DVD while at the mall, you're not going to buy it online when there's a Suncoast/Best Buy/etc. within 100 feet of you. Does your statement actually make sense to you? Because to anyone with half a brain, it's asinine.
Also, you fail to realize that there are already apps on most everyone's smartphone (at least the people who would be willing to scan QR codes) like Google Goggles and Amazon's app which let you take pictures or scan barcodes and then order what you want online, for cheaper than the movie studios will be trying to sell it for, I'm sure.
I think that was his point. He threw that in as an example of a troll getting people worked up. Nerds like us would instantly snap back with, "Samus was a girl!" and the trolling would be successful.
A thousand times this! But to keep it simple you just need one QR code. One that sends the user to The Pirate Bay. Now if there was only a way to mobilize thousands of people to execute this prank at all the malls at once...
Nice. Way to make those of us who support Ron Paul for POTUS seem crazy by makeing vague death threats implying an upcoming civil war. Thanks a lot, nutjob.

It is your fault for not clearly communicating your idea. Accept some responsibility for the backlash of your comment, for crying out loud.
