Summations Only

Crazyfrog writes:Well, sure. That works if people have no reason to collude and misrepresent some poor fucker as being the asshole. But suppose some small number of people say "you know, every time I see license plate ROAD-FR0G, I'm gonna shoot that guy's car with a sticky dart." On their own they don't get to stick too many darts, except a small number of people who really make it their mission to stick darts on that guy. Some number of other people get accidentally cut off during a lane change, or maybe tailgated a little bit, and when they see a couple of sticky darts on the car, they're less inclined to see those actions as unintentional irritations and more inclined to see them as the deliberate actions of an asshole. Sticky dart. ROAD-FR0G's friendly wave as he passes suddenly seems like a sarcastic provocation, instead. Sticky dart. His "have a nice day" bumper sticker seems less like an optimistic slogan and more like a middle finger. Sticky dart.Sticky darts, Percy. There's no "established pattern" with me except a pattern of me being immediately subject to incredible personal vendettas starting with AZPaul3 on my return back in 2010 and subsequently by others, ever since. Sure, sure. You think I'm being "paranoid", except that I'm objectively not being paranoid. There's no other explanation for AZPaul3's immediately belligerent - and unprovoked - reply except that I somehow cause people to have personal vendettas against me. There's no other explanation for hackers following me to EvC to hack the place except that I somehow cause people to have personal vendettas against me.

Hooah writes:The search function on that site coupled with me manually searching still yields no results. Has anyone else found what crash was referring to? I've even tried a google search.

Straggler writes:Imagine if after a huge motorway pile-up in which lots of people died the UK government decided to impose stringent restrictions on car use. The right to own a car was removed for many. Cars with engines over a certain CC were outright banned. The number of journeys and total amount of miles per week for those lucky enough to have a car was legally limited. Any infringement of road laws (e.g. parking violations) would result in the immediate confiscation of one's car and license.

Faith writes:HOWEVER, maybe armed resistance would have saved Poland, maybe it would even have deterred Hitler altogether.

ICANT writes:So when we teach our children that it is alright to murder 1 child every 20 seconds what do you expect them to grow up thinking.

ICANT writes:Yea I know that is warped thinking, but warped people think in warped ways and do warped things.

ICANT writes:Life is not precious in America.

ICANT writes:The life of my wife is very precious as well as mine...

ICANT writes:I am sorry you have to be fed with a spoon.

ICANT writes:I don't teach children it is alright to commit murder but as a country we have made it legal to commit murder. Which is teaching our children it is alright to commit murder.

ICANT writes:If you are going to make such outlandish obervations you should at least not quote mine. But if you didn't you couldn't support your accusations.

ICANT writes:When you add the rest of the quote you see that the children are doing the thinking and I am saying that is warped thinking.But you are part of the problem by promoting that kind of warped thinking.

ICANT writes:If life was precious in America there would be no abortions.
There would be no alcohol.
There would be no ilegal drugsThe drugs and alcohol cause many children to go to bed each night hungry.So tell me how precious life is in America?But yes my life and the life of my wife is precious to me.

ICANT writes:Lets say you are making 50,000, you have taxable income of 42,000. Your tax rate would be 40% on 42,000 which would average out to 33.6% of your 50,000 income.

ICANT writes:But paying 20% taxes on all income over 8,000 up to 41,500 and 40% on all income between 41,500 up to 150,000 and 50% over 150,000 should be oppresive to Americans.

ICANT writes:Let me try the income tax on 50 million.

ICANT writes:How does the National Insurance work?Do you pay a 20% VAT tax on many items with a lesser VAT on some items?Does the landlords add the cost of their council tax into the rent?Does mortgage companies add the council tax into the payments and put it in escrow until the time to pay the council tax?That ought to clear it up for me.

Tanypteryx writes:Has anyone read The Weapon Shops of Isher and The Weapon Makers by A.E. van Vogt?

Tanypteryx writes:Their super-smart weapons technology stops their weapons from firing in anger or madness. They can only be used for self defense, hunting, target practice, etc.

Tanypteryx writes:A good science-fiction read from the '50s and 60's, but maybe not so impossible with the technology today. The new camera I just bought my wife recognizes when it is pointed at people and focuses on their face.
