    Joe Rogan's Question Everything

    Don't be an idiot. What it shows is that he used mechanical advantage to move blocks and that is surely not the only piece of gear he rigged up. Also, saying "18000" pounds makes it sound much worse than it really is. That is only 9 tons. He did lumberjacking, where moving trees of much greater...

    Joe Rogan's Question Everything

    It isn't a mystery because 1) There are pictures of him moving stones with a large tripod using telephone poles and block and tackle. 2) Even if you didn't have a block and tackle, you can still move large stones Just because YOU (or conspiracy nuts) cannot figure out how to do it...

    WW2 vet survived Nazi's only to be beaten to death by two teenagers

    In this case the gun wouldn't have helped much. Being attacked out of the blue you just aren't going to have much time to respond unless something tipped you off. However, if enough people are carrying concealed in an area, it would act as a deterrent to this type of shit.

    The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

    So was borderline on buying this game because of the review but decided to try it. I get it and I can't play it because it overheats my video card. A fucking game that runs on PS3 and its overheating my card on a modern PC? Very irritated.

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    Yeah, that is my issue with this guy and his "defenders". His life wasn't anywhere near over. He could have done some good with his life if he had wanted to, instead he just quit. WHICH IS FINE, just don't try and turn him into some hero. Guy was just a quitter, albeit a very thorough quitter of...

    Australian in U.S. on baseball scholarship murdered by teens because they were bored

    Of course this is getting blamed on "gun culture" instead of "gang culture". Piers Morgan being Piers Morgan.

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    Yes, suicide has a stigma and that is a good thing for the most part. That makes it less likely in a moment of depression that people will do it. As for his family being hurt when he dies anyway, so it doesnt matter, seriously? So additional time spent with family and friends is meaningless?

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    He can do whatever we want and we are within our rights to use that information to judge him. Someone who does shit that ends up hurting their family or friends for selfish reasons is someone I do not respect in any way. Someone who is too lazy to live is someone I do not respect in any way.

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    I would say his arguments are selfish towards his own family and friends (not towards humanity in general) and just pure laziness. It is hard to believe that someone is too lazy to want to continue on living, but then you learn about this guy.

    http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/vi...at-29.cnn.html Good for this guy. He was 29, in a year he would have been 30. On the downhill slope for the rest of his life. All he would be doing is biding time until he rotted away and I for one salute him for his decision to just give up.

    This. Jesus, my mom is 67 and still working at Boeing and loving it. My dad is 72 and is always working on this or that project on his land. I helped him landscape for a new pond a month ago with some earthmoving equipment. If you think life ends at 60+, you are probably 20-30 and will almost...

    How the fuck was this show on page 3? Excellent last episode, I just love all the storylines in this show. I am really curious about the father and what he might have done/didn't do to Bridget. Seems like this episode hinted that Ray might be mistaken in his beliefs.

    My problem with "promoting" suicide or making it easier is that I was at one point in my life been completely on the edge of it. Yet I got through it and now my life is pretty awesome and it is sometimes hard for me to even think back at how I could have been so depressed and thought life was so...

    Women I see on campus in full burka's (hood with the eye-slit and all) while their husband (or maybe a male relative?) walk beside them in a tee shirt and shorts.

    It won't but that doesn't mean the polls are wrong. The polls are sampling fans that have been following this shit since the beginning. For those people, Microsoft has really went out of its way to try and shit on gamers. So of course the numbers are the way they are. It is hard to come up with...

    Whoa there. You are the one saying since it was legal for a small case, it should be legal for all. I'm saying that just because some judge felt it was alright for a small group of people, that doesn't mean it should be legal for all. Also yes, sometimes you have to do things like broad...

    And this is the problem right there. Just because smaller scoops of metadata were allowed, doesn't mean that complete 100% scoops of metadata should be allowed. I mean, listen to what you just posted, "allowed to snoop on several payphones in the city" should mean absolutely fuckall when...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Yet you don't think an expectation of privacy exists over the internet. Yet it is quite clear that we DO actually have an expectation of privacy in regards to this, regardless of what case law says in the matter. Especially as email (and things like it, like messenging services) becomes more and...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    The issue is that people like Soysauce (and maybe you?) argue that we shouldn't have an expectation of privacy online. Yet the only real violations of that are the NSA (real or imagined)(private companies are quite different, as many of us have mentioned) abuses. So are you really arguing that...

    You have said several times in various posts "even Diane Feinstein was fine with this" or words to that effect. Look, Diane Feinstein is one of the last people I would want determining what is private and what isn't. She has essentially zero respect for the 2nd amendment. She has recently...

    No, Soysauce is not Qwerty, he just sees everything through a narrow lens. To Soysauce, the only question that matters is whether or not the courts will rule it unconstitutional or not. Therefore, the only important arguments are, to him, case law. He is not interested in whether or not it...

    Those are interesting cases and have been explored in depth even on sites that even I, a non-constitutional law professor, have read. For example,http://www.volokh.com/discussed situations very much like that before. However, what you consistently do is say that once something has been ruled...

    See, in Soysaucerice's view, no discussion matters unless and until the Supreme Court makes a ruling. Yet this is completely silly. Suppose that the Supreme Court ruled tomorrow that religion has to be taught in schools. In Soysauce's pov, oh well, so much for that. They made a ruling and our...

    The issue isn't your understanding of constitutional law, it is that you miss the fucking point every fucking time. You try and invalidate anyone's opinion on the constitutionality of it, saying that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, because only case law matters. Yet we live in a...
