    35 is awfully high for London. It would rarely be above thirty...
  2. Nagging him about it is a good way to doom your relationship, at any rate. Next time you want to bring up something like that, ask yourself how important it really is...
  3. and here I am benching 60 lbs
  4. Wait, atheists can do bad stuff too?
  5. Are you sure? The term "feminazi girl" isn't particularly endearing. If she's a low-end FB it's irrelevant depending on the person she may be more trouble than it's worth.
  6. Horatio is quite content to wallow in his own misery, it seems
  7. don't get too excited, you're the only person who really has any control over that (unless your buddy plans on buying you a prostitute)
  8. I tried to use tinder just for curiosity's sake, but it wanted me to log in to facebook (I don't have facebook), so i said f that
  9. How not to debate intelligently: Completely unsupported ad hominem. And another.

    So if they grossly misgovern that's okay because their heart is in the right place?
  11. There's nothing gentlemanly about throwing hundreds of people's lives away on a coin toss. I also doubt the actual reality of the war was nearly as nice as some generals having a talk. In world war one, the two sides stopped to play soccer on christmas day. Does that mean it was a "nice" war?
  12. There are certain things that all countries do when they're at war, because war is messy and fundamentally "atrocious". Find me a major war where one of the sides didn't do anything atrocious and I'd say you have a good point.
  13. Mainstream islam: (from a peace conference, no less). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpeIS25jhK4&feature=youtu.be
  14. Sorry for butchering the quote, on mobile. As for what I was going to say, I can understand those differences but they are both loaded with clips, right :ph34r: . Edit:mod feel free to replace that with actual ninja smiley, can't remember code at the moment. Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the word you're looking for is magazine.
  15. I know not of what you speak...if it mattered I'd have heard of it...maybe? It seems we grew out of our topic [bleep] phase. It used to be like a competition Islamist extremists attacked a satirical newspaper's offices in Paris (name of paper is Charlie Hebdo, known in Europe for naming the Prophet Muhammad their editor in chief in 2011) armed with submachines and maybe an RPG and killed 10 staff, including the editor in chief, a deputy editor, and several v famous cartoonists - cartoons are a big deal in France - including one very distinguished 80 year old. They also shot 2 police, one of whom they summarily executed - and it has been caught on camera. Both men (maybe 3) are still at large. Charlie Hebdo is going to published its next issue as normal, but the print run will go up from c. 50,000 average to 1,000,000 copies. So yes, it's a big deal, a) because shootings like these are far less common in Europe than America's love for high school massacres, and b) because it was a targeted assassination and these guys knew how to use their weapons. You don't need to know all the details, but it's rather ignorant not to know that cartoonists in Paris have been assassinated for jokes about the Prophet Muhammad.Minor gripe: they weren't using submachine guns. Submachine guns fire pistol rounds, these guys were probably using ak-47 knockoffs. It's also equally ignorant to say Americans have "love" for school shootings.
  16. Even if she does, it's her fault for assuming that without him saying anything to indicate it. Unless he's leading her on, the onus is on her to be clear about what she wants and verify whether that's what he's willing to provide.
  17. I have started noticing the blue/orange in movies over the past few years, but I don't usually mind it

    I don't think most people getting pepper sprayed and carrying guns during riots care much for rule of law anyway.

    Great for when a guy is fifty feet away unarmed, not so much for when he's up close punching you.... Or has a gun.

    If we're going to be talking far-fetched hypotheticals, why not just put a chip in everyone's arm that will paralyze them the instant they decide to commit a crime?

    There are still plenty of issues with "non-lethal" options like tasers. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dzieka%C5%84ski_Taser_incident As for treating all cop kills as murder, legal precedent is that cops have a right to use force if they believe their lives are being imminently threatened. Taking away that option would effectively neuter the police force.
