Doesn’t have to be a police station, but a very public space with CCTVs would be the ideal. I’m pragmatic and carry a defensive item on me at all times but I’d still avoid going somewhere too isolated. I’m not pro-gun by any means and like my country’s gun laws (Canada) but I think since guns are here to stay for…

Yeah, I’m sure that’s the case as well, regarding time off. The issue is poorer citizens can’t afford to take that time off.

Pretty sure they’re supposed to screen for bias that goes either way. Though I’m sure, in reality, they’re hand picking bias for their crooked cops. /golfclap

Isn’t this what the gun “enthusiasts” are lobbying for: the right to carry guns for self defense? I don’t know what world these fucktards live in but that many people pounding on you counts as a threat to your life. Unless told otherwise, I’m assuming he has a gun license... oh wait, is it because he’s black? It’s…

Income inequality guarantees most people want to get out of “inconvenient” jury duty. Most people have to take sick days or vacation days to serve. Then there’s the scenario of outright having no income while serving jury duty. IMO, Jury duty should be a guaranteed paid time off but since the system’s corruption…

Don’t be stupid. Clearly he was an upstanding, hardworking citizen who is a pillar of the community and therefore should be handled with utmost delicacy. What’s the basis of this? It’s cuz he’s white and I just get that feeling from him.

Hmm... agree to disagree. xD

Never played Donkey Kong Country (Original SNES ones), huh? There were tons of those in that game. Lots of jumps that looks lethal or nonsensical. Though in 2 and even more so in 3, they seem to have toned it down or made it more obvious.

It was an amusing system but then a lot of them ended up either spoiling the game or becoming pointless. The only system I liked was with WoW where you got in-game rewards for hard to get ones ie: ahead of the curve. Otherwise, getting platinum on a game never appealed to me.

Well that explains a lot.

 As anti gun as I am, I do like how some nordic countries (or is it only Sweden?) have mandatory training for their use. I sincerely believe having more people who actually know how to shoot guns is better than handing it out to anyone and everyone that can legally buy liquor. At least if…

Yah, doesn’t look like it’d affect gun laws. Funny thing though, is that for a group of people that are very much pro gun, none of them had one? Even at their bags at the dugout? I’m not pro gun by any means (plus I’m in a city in Canada so it’s not worth the trouble) but if I were to believe in something to be…

Being a pedantic douche doesn’t change the fact that Nintendo would win in a court battle if the guy pushed his luck. I can tell from your other posts that no amount of reasonable arguments would really get through so I won’t even try since you’ve already accepted a world view where it’s okay to rip off someone…

Yeah, it was a proper use of copyright. I hate corporations using copyright law incorrectly (and more often than not as a legal weapon rather than to defend their rights) but this is one of those instances that was well within their rights and as intended for the law. Lots of “fans” complain and act like entitled…

“Omgz, this is treason!!” — Same people who actually uttered racial vitriol and death threats on the previous president on a regular basis

Haha, yeah, most keyboard warriors probably can’t string together and express coherent thoughts live. I have a couple of co-workers who are under the impression they’re super smart but oh boy.... the shit that comes out of their mouth. At least some people are aware reality and TV/Film isn’t the same thing and most…

So much this. As much as Konami’s getting a lot of hate, they’re not unique in that business culture. Japanese corporations are the modern equivalent of fiefdoms and everyone is to sacrifice themselves for the good of the daimyo (CEO in this case). Unpaid overtime of over 18 hours is rather common and job security…

Most of the things here we could only fight historically when we outnumbered them and with spears. And some, would require a gun... or a gigantic rock to flatten them afterwards, just to be safe.

Yup, already covered.

I also love how the first comment on that article you linked has some internet couch expert said: “Tigers are actually the largest cats...” as if to correct the quoted expert Craig Saffoe.

While you’re correct, Voltron’s the more recognizable name.

I sincerely think every black person and minority should just leave the US and give the racist bigots what they want. When their society crumbles because of the sudden massive vacuum of determined and capable people, and they start begging, that’s when you give them the finger and go on to thrive somewhere else.

I…
