Boston Marathon Murders
I will never understand why this stuff bothers people. There's nothing to worry about unless you're committing crimes. [bleep]. You. Yeah, we're just gonna randomly search your house. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about unless you're actually committing a crime. You look funny. We're taking you down to the station and searching you. Don't worry, unless there's nothing to worry about unless you actually commit a crime. Following your logic, that's also acceptable. "Any society willing to give up a little liberty for a little security will deserve neither and lose both." I like this quote too. Now, granted, providing studies there are studies that show that video cameras prevent crime, I'm ok with cameras. Although, it does make me wonder - are there studies on how effective video cameras are at crime prevention, and if so, what do they say? Putting cameras in public places does not impede on your rights or liberties. Every store in the world has security cameras but people hardly notice those. What makes this any different?

My most personal moments aren't on train rides to and from school.

Boston Marathon Murders
I don't think anybody will argue what the two guys did wasn't wrong, but that was a problem with them, not the cameras. If getting peeped on is the worst that can happen with cameras (which is preventable with blinds or a curtain) then I say put them everywhere.

Not impressed by PS4
Advertising 101: It doesn't matter how awful your product is, make it look great. By the time they've bought it and realized it's awful you have their money. Anti-hype is not a wise business move. That only works for the short term. If you want a successful business that continues to generate money then you need people to actually enjoy your product.

Maybe it's all some sort of anti-hype thing. I don't think we'll ever get to the levels of hype that the Wii/PS3/360 had before they were launched so Microsoft is trying to get everybody to think the NextBox will suck and when it's finally announced, it will exceed their expectations.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Google says "fidgeting" is the correct version.

Azumanga Daioh and Tari Tari aren't shoujo. :?

Manga/Anime Discussion
I cast my vote for Mi-kun/Ma-chan with TTanT because most of the others are sexual hijinks and sports. I'll of course be watching most of those anyway...

Manga/Anime Discussion
The shows on the list haven't even aired yet so a dubbed version probably won't come out for most of them for at least a couple of years. We'd be watching each episode weekly as they air, and you can comment on it after you finish watching the latest episode.

Manga/Anime Discussion
We should pick a series or two that we'll all watch and discuss this season. Anyone interested? The image comes out tiny so you can see them here: http://iblos3om.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/spring-anime-chart-mar-2013-may-2013.jpg

I've never really had a problem with most of those companies. Who considers UPS bad?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
If she's just being flirtatious then I think he should ignore it until she makes a clear move. You can't just come out of nowhere saying "I don't want to date you".

The 5-star sniper rifle kills everything in one shot, including heavies. What I did was hang back far enough to where they couldn't hear the shot and just picked everyone off one by one. Honestly you haven't lived until you've freed a tiger from it's cage, let it take out the entire camp, and then one shot the tiger.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
She's not busy. She's waiting for something. No one goes to a school bench/park bench to study or read (unless they're middle aged). She's just trying to find something to fill her time till she has to do what she needs to do. I'd approach her. Sit down next to her and ask her what she's burying herself in. And go. Well when I sit on a bench to read in between classes it's not because I'm waiting for a conversation to happen. Either I'm reviewing something before class or I just want to read in the sun.
