@Strakus: hahaha... personally i'm hoping for the culture (iain m. banks).

@Strakus: nice. never heard it put that way before.

@rebeldevil: "Last I checked conservatism didn't equal anarchy. "

@uglyMood: i stand corrected... : )

@sephycloneno15: imagine a car commercial without seeing "don't try this at home. professional stunt driver on closed course"...

@Troy Brooks: exactly so.

waitasec... every time a second ammendment convo comes up, gun peeps are very eager to point out all manner of things that are supposed to be completely legal to own in america. i have been told:

@sephycloneno15: alas, ala idiocracy and indeed fact - they tend to procreate the most prolifically. for every joe that offs himself with an ill-conceived bicycle jump, he's likely to have sired several cletus' in junior high.

@Troy Brooks: please rephrase... especially with the parenthetical, i have no idea what you're trying to say.

this is the specter of the modern world - a world that is too complex for an average person to understand.

and this is why conservatism is fundamentally flawed from the gitgo.

@revmannix138: eeeeeuuuggghhh... have YOU seen the tron trailers?

who the ever loving fuck is joe zito?

@steino: oooo... i think i've just found my holiday plans.

@Derf: i think you hit the nail on the head. they want to jump into the twilight fanbase.

@Alpine Joe: oh come on... if you're average looking or better and you're target's in the same league, trying to get a guy to crush on you is like shooting fish in a barrel. anything attention getting would have done it... try punching in the crotch. that oughta do it just as well.

ugh...

@NorwoodIsMyHero: gonna play the godwin nazi card.

honestly - and i am NOT being facetious - they could avoid this problem ENTIRELY if they simply gave every pat down target a CHOICE OF SCREENER and having each and every one of them really really eager to handle your junk.

@malo-ji: exactly. and of course, pat downs aren't in the same ball park as what the nazis did but the principle is the same.
