Range_This11

I haven't played in ages since my disk is scratched but did they ever fix the long range accuracy for the shotgun on Xbox? It used to be WAY too accurate (despite being cheap fun) for its own good.

I don't understand how you can't enforce laws without violating rights. Try it. Think of any situation where you arrest somebody without infringing some sort of right. Holding them in a cell, restricting their movement and who they speak to. It makes sense. I guess I assume that if you are arrested it is because there is already proof that you have done something wrong or there is a report you have done something wrong. If there is proof I don't exactly have a problem with the temporary suspension of rights. It is when the suspension of rights happens before proof is obtained that I have a problem.

I don't understand how you can't enforce laws without violating rights. Well that's vague. I stated that my belief is that everyone should have unlimited free speech (with the only other alternative being zero free speech, there should be no in-between). That is a principle. And I don't know why you're bringing up other countries now. We're talking about England. Children are assumed not to have rights (outside of basic human rights) as they are not old enough or mature enough to understand the concept of rights. Yes, and when you comply with those rules, you receive either pay or an education. You also have the right to not work or not go to school. What benefits does the average citizen receive from government moderating free speech? Only the assurance that things are safer, and that is not a guarantee that can be upheld because in order to make things completely safe, the government would have to control every person's actions. I don't even know how to respond to this. You win. Language limits our free speech.

I wasn't talking about public forums, I was talking about the Blackberry Wireless service. Anyone stupid enough to communicate about rioting or criminal activity over Facebook or Twitter is an idiot. Missed that. I feel like governments do that all the time, but they only "use it against you" if they have a warrant. Yes, and I acknowledge police probably illegally monitor many phones without taking action. Reminds me of The Wire.

Unless they are proven guilty of committing a crime or there is hard evidence (and subsequent warrant granted), there shouldn't be any sort of blocking. As to your other comments, I'll just say this: rights, no matter who the person is or what they have allegedly done, should never be taken away for any reason at all until they are proven guilty of committing a crime. As far as free speech goes, yes, I believe every person is completely equal (whether they are a criminal or an old lady) and should have unlimited free speech. Call me crazy. I wasn't talking about public forums, I was talking about the Blackberry Wireless service. Anyone stupid enough to communicate about rioting or criminal activity over Facebook or Twitter is an idiot.

Where this coming from? I'll tell you where: Made up land. All they have said is looking to put measures in place to block accounts where the account is being used for criminal purposes. We have 0 details other than that and its just pessimistic "erosion of free speech" hog wash to suggest that we can categorically say it'll by pass any sort of safeguard or including unjustified monitoring. Heck its not like ALLLLLL these things arent monitored already anyway by the parent companys Police or government agencies blocking accounts that they believe are being used for criminal purposes is invasion of privacy and infringes on free speech. That is a basic fact. Of course parent companies monitor messages and the like (and in all likelihood, police too), but taking any action against it is unlawful without a wiretap/search warrant.

Yes, but in wiretapping/monitoring cases documented proof (police reports with strong evidence) is required before a request for a wiretap is even put before a judge. Then the judge has to decide whether or not there is a case to be made or if the evidence is enough to warrant a wiretap. In this scenario, monitoring of BB and other social media completely bypasses those safeguards. The idea that "you shouldn't be worried if you aren't doing anything wrong" is complete and utter hogwash.

Muahaha :twisted: Let's get this Trainee party started! :-D

Forgive me for cherry-picking this detail, but as a prisoner, you forgo most of your constitutional rights in prison because you are a convicted felon. The only one I can really think of that is still applicable would be the 5th (self-incrimination).

I was 17 when I worked there. I would guess it's around that age, maybe 16.

Working at a pizza place is AWESOME. Even if you don't get free food, you will most likely get it discounted and the majority of people that work at pizza joints are really laid back and chill. Plus, delivering can be really good money (tips).

Yeah, it just seems too Orwellian for me to ever support that kind of stuff. I don't know if this has been posted or not, but I got it from NPR: In U.K.: Talk Of Banning Masks, Blocking Text Messages Talk about an invasion of privacy.

The CCTV convictions seem a little bit shady. Don't get me wrong, I think people that have committed the crimes should be punished, but the whole "caught on camera" thing seems a lot like those red light camera tickets in the U.S. Unless there is absolutely no doubt in identifying who committed the crime, they shouldn't be using them to convict people.

Syzygy?

Duh, Wikipedia isn't a source :P

Got ya greens on eh? I haven't bought a game since... Pokemon Platinumn like 2 years ago...then I sold it. The greens are on Master Sheep! :mrgreen:

I'd like to hear from the Brothers Gower over the other ones.

You can't go wrong with dogs. Heh. But yeah, I've always had a dog and I will never own cats. I don't despise them, but I won't own one. Confession: I was seeing a girl last year who was obsessed with her two cats. It was weird. Advice: don't see girls that are obsessed with cats, they're as crazy as you think they are.

Bande à part (1964) Another Jean-Luc Godard film. I liked it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Breathless or Contempt.

The last video game I bought was Battlefield BC 2 and the next I will buy is Battlefield 3. I haven't had time for video games lately. I haven't had a Live subscription since last fall :???:
