England Riots
Yelling "Fire!" in a movie theatre isn't protected free speech. Advocating criminal acts in a public square isn't protected free speech. Inciting a riot isn't protected free speech. Monitoring a service like twitter or public facebook groups for people inciting violence, in my opinion, is very similar to policing a public square. There is no expectation of privacy on twitter (or public facebook groups), why should police have to obtain a warrant?

Marijuana Legalization
The funniest part about "Legalize it, regulate it, tax the crap out of it" is how the argument ignores the fact that there is an entire black market of people already buying, selling, transporting, etc. They don't care about the law, why do you think they'd start caring once it is legal?

What book are you currently reading?
The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town by John Grisham. It is a pretty sickening must read.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
As a counter culture, we should substitute our own vowels in... I'm in favor of an "in" or "un" sound... pwined or pwuned. EDIT: As in, "HAHA that punk just got pwuned by that rabid honey badger."

Anonymous Vows Destruction of Facebook
As far as I'm concerned, anything I put online about myself, or anything that anyone else puts online about me is public record and knowledge forever. It is the same for a forum, I don't control where/how far my post goes after it is put online.

In U.K.: Talk Of Banning Masks, Blocking Text Messages Talk about an invasion of privacy. At least they haven't declared Martial Law.

That would make sense then. If there was a small chance of wrongful prosecution I wouldn't support that.

Anonymous Vows Destruction of Facebook
I was upset with FB once. I deleted my profile. Problem solved. It'd be more valuable if Anon promoted profile deletion. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=16929680703

What does it take to be convicted? "Beyond a reasonable doubt" like in the US, or some other definition?

Which Jagex Mod Would You Interview?
^That said, I'd like to interview the mod that currently plays the game, or is top of the hiscore for their employee personal account list.

Ignored user quotes
Darn. EDIT: Does that include when the quote tags are properly used? Do you know how it works when they post?

Ignored user quotes
Is there any way to have quotes from an ignored user hidden?

The F2P General Discussion Thread
Its probably been half a year since I've seriously dunged, but my defense level is atrocious. When I wasn't with skillers or was with the general public, the plate made a huge difference in that I wouldn't die when running into a room with 5+ level 40 or higher guardians. Unfortunately it didn't make a hoot of difference when faced with a T11 mercenary...

Which Jagex Mod Would You Interview?
I wouldn't want MMG because recently he's had more exposure than everyone else. That said, he'd probably be willing to give an interview more readily than any of the Gower brothers.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Years ago when I had a fresh copy of XP on my system, I uninstalled IE6. XP broke, I think it uses it in their file management. IE needs to stay on windows, its pretty infuriating. Luckily you can change settings to make another browser your default.

What's even more f-ed up is my dad and mom use thunderbird for email... Finally got rid of the SOB virus. Now that everyone is asleep, I'm installing IE9, firefox 5, java update ?, and all the neglected windows updates. This should keep them happy for another year.

I'm pretty ticked off right now. Family computer has a virus, I get blamed because I installed firefox a year ago. Flash drive went caput when trying to kill virus. Why can't people be computer literate?

When the White House announces the POTUS will make an announcment at 1:00 P.M., and he appears and begins speaking at 1:53 P.M. When the POTUS makes a speech and the DJIA drops 100 points... during the speech. Yeah, thanks. High five everyone, we're doing the double dip.
