I even said I didn't hate you Coffee. Honestly, you're not worth apologizing too, but your also not worth hating.

Re: Idea: Police Duty Recorders

I would like to see a system where elected officials on a biyearly term work with the police to investigate police. They would be paid by the city/state to do this and couldn't serve twice in say three terms. Thus no pandering for reelection as you won't be up for it for at least 4 more years.

Re: How to stand up to cops

I was drinking at a pub with a large group of friends and when I came home we all walked in on a party my 18 year old roomie was having. As we were taking a piss/grabbing more booze to move to another friends house with the cops came. They let the people throwing the party go, even though the guy th...

Re: Bullying Apathy by school - WHY?

snip :finger: That's just fucking horrible. I'm surprised the "lower" students didn't apparently ambush the bullies and the teachers/admins, or just plain set the school on fire. This abomination of a system, sadly, is what I'd suspect to be a mere symptom of a much larger tumour. There's...

Re: Bullying Apathy by school - WHY?

What's more infuriating is that if you get into a fight with a bully, even if he/she instigated it without provocation, you get disciplined too, even if you only hit back in self defense. Why? Because administrators are the masters of the Golden Mean Fallacy. They had this even back when my brother...

Re: Bullying Apathy by school - WHY?

Because many school administrators are ignorant assholes? I remember once when I had issues with a bully way back in elementary school, and the school's principal denied my request to suspend the bully. Her reasoning was that many of the bullies' parents were lawyers, and could threaten to school t...

Some camera/audio recorder in a vest pocket would always be good and there would be no reason to turn it off. You could charge it from the cruiser while you drive.

Re: Can you swim?

I grew up near a lake, I never had formal lessons, but on my back I could really stay in the water for hours (if warm) if not paddling at full speed.

Re: Borders Bookstores to Liquidate

For a student is there any reason to use an e-book reader over a laptop for course work? It would be great for those working sans laptop looking for a cheap e-book reader, but when I have a laptop, I can only see it getting use on a long bus trip or flight where the laptop gets to feel bulky.

Seriously? I back up my claims in all of those threads, and was willing to take the bullying issue to the coliseum where I would have ample time to find support for my claims. I asked for the soccer thread to be split a fair ways in as well so as to not impede the discussion of the game. You'll also...

Re: Japan Wins the World Cup!

I've also seen them miss those massive as fuck nets repeatedly. The best soccer players can't even hit the net when they might only get a few shots per game. Fuck are they ever piss poor at aiming. I fear for you mate, this is yet another example of how critical thought and rational reasoning have ...

Re: Japan Wins the World Cup!

Kicking a ball, and missing a huge net takes far less overall coordination that preforming a deke, dodging a check, or even just making a pass on a full speed hockey play. Critical thought is not only something that you clearly don't possess, but something that completely passed you by while flippi...

Re: Bullying Apathy by school - WHY?

Well, that was how it generally worked at my junior high and high school. The school would ignore harassment and outright attacks, and punish anyone who fought back. It was OK to throw rocks at other kids or walk up to someone and kick them in the crotch, but not to fight them off. I hope that you ...

I was showing that not only are they tougher, but that they can also play a more highly skilled sport that a soccer player can't. It doesn't take a genius to see which sport has tougher, fitter, and more skilled athletes when one sport uses the other as a warm up before games. I'd like to see socce...

Re: Bullying Apathy by school - WHY?

I'm going to have to agree with Faqa here. While bullying is a problem and while it is tragic for a kid, being picked on or in a fight isn't a good reason to pull out deadly force. If the kid can get away, he/she should get away and not get in a fight. Should the kid 'stand up for him/herself'? Sur...
