    Gun control

    That is interesting, I did not really think of that. In my local area, more than 99.9% of the population is white. Black people have the same experiences and pressures as white people, because you don't racial stereotype when you only actually know two black people.

    Gun control

    That graph makes it seem like you have your scum fairly well segregated. Black on white is too much higher than white on black, though. I would be interested to see the geographical locations of black on white versus white on black, but I doubt that data is available.

    Gun control

    Is anyone denying that? The point is that there is nothing about the genetic makeup of a black person that influences it. If you take a black baby and a white baby and have them raised the same way in the same place, the black baby is not going to be more likely to kill people.

    Gun control

    You have two groups of people. One group commits more murders than the other group. Why? You need to look for all of the differences between the groups and decide which of these differences makes them more likely to murder. Then make changes one at a time until the murder rate drops...

    Gun control

    Is that all you do? Every time someone goes anywhere near mentioning race you call them a racist. Sometimes people make racist posts here, but that was not one of them. A country could be 100% white and still have a diverse population, as race is not the only metric that a population is...

    Erection Day, Smoke the Polls with Cock Suffrage!

    Censoring dicks is not sexist. Dicks are ugly, boobs are not. Ask girls whether they would rather watch a female stripper or a male stripper and 90% or more of them will say female. Boobs > Dicks

    Gun control

    I've worked in schools. Items are not stored properly, no matter how expensive they are. Having an armed cop on site is one thing, as he has his gun on his person and is responsible for it. But if you start locking guns in a cupboard then it only takes one person to leave the keys laying...

    Well, now what?

    Lineage 2 was the first MMO that I actually played for more than a couple of hours. It took the term Asian Grind to the extreme, but I did not know any better. It used a fairly standard levelling system, but it quickly became apparent that no one was ever going to reach the level cap during...

    On that point, the USA has tighter laws on games and movies than most european countries, who have tighter laws on guns. I dont see why increasing regulations on apples means that you also need to increase regulation on oranges.

    StarCraft 2

    I think the zealot is key. if you make a zealot while your core is building, you can use it to plug the hole and still use your first 2 stalkers on the map. That's fine for me, as my 2 base timings are not at all crisp. For a pro player that zealot is going to slow down your push, but I would...

    WoW Vanilla Emu - Emerald Dream

    Gah, I thought about this but I have a bad taste in my mouth after that Rebirth realm. I went all poopsock to get to 60 as alliance, then realised that there were almost no alliance players. I was a mage with 2k hp who could not even get a dire maul group for my water quest. So I went...

    Numbers being next to the parentheses is called juxtaposition. Most programming languages cannot give priority to multiplication by juxtaposition because of the way brackets are used when programming. Since calculators are written using these programming languages, they do not give precedence...

    I hope you guys are not serious 2(1+2) is not the same as 2 * 3. 2 * 3 is two constants and an operator. 2(1+2) is a single constant. You don't have to perform operations to make 2(1+2) = 6, because it just is 6. Therefore, 6/2(1+2) is the same as 6/6. Forget PEDMAS or whatever you...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    The BBC is not allowed to show adverts. Shows do not really make them money (only with merchandising). With the BBC it is just a case of whether they think the show is worth the cost.

    Murders and Shootings

    Only one crappy source here comparing US and UK, but... US non firearm murders: 4553. That's about 1.46 per 100,000 people. UK non firearm murders: 511. That's about 0.91 per 100,000 people. I cannot find anything showing other countries though, and it's meaningless without more...

    Gun control

    To me, the size of the round is almost irrelevant. The important thing is how many rounds can be fired before you need to reload? How long does reloading take? These are the things that actually affect how many people a nutjob can kill on his spree.

    At lower levels, healing flasks of animation will really help with zombies. Just use 2 flasks and drink one them every 10 seconds and your zombies will stay alive (except against really tough bosses).

    Gun control

    In terms of killings, I do not think removing guns will do much harm. I know many Americans use the argument that guns allow them to defend themselves, but I do not believe that. Coming from a society where very few people have guns, and those are all just single shot rifles, I do not need a...

    I know nothing about guns, although I think I once owned a super soaker. But I believe the legal limit on clip size in the US is 30 rounds.

    They have Ryan Lanza's younger brother in custody. I am not sure if he was involved at all, I guess that they would want to look after him anyway since he just lost three family members in this shit.

    Gun control

    I'm British, so I obviously think gun control works. I also think it would be possible to remove the majority of guns from American citizens, but it would take a long time and cost a lot of money. The problem is that the average American has different cultural values to the average Brit. To...

    Correct. A woman was interviewed and said that all visitors had to be buzzed in. It was also said that the gunman was wearing a mask. If was not said how he got inside, though. No. It seems that is standard practice for that school. All teachers got their kids into the classroom, locked the...

    Murders and Shootings

    If you arm teachers then at some point you will get a horrible incident where a teacher shoots children. Also, teachers cannot walk around a schools with guns all of the time, and all it would take is someone forgetting to lock the gun cabinet properly and then you have children with guns in...
