Quote from Shotglass :i dont really see how sending someone back into the jaws of a trex could be particularly dangerous to the timeline but fair enough theres an even simpler solution... send them forwards in time

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sound_of_Thunder

And time travel to the future is rarely possible in fiction, for whatever reason (there are usually plenty of justifications, but the main reason is that it's more fun to send characters back into a known past). Anyway, sending them into the future here would be unpredictable, obviously.

Quote from Shotglass :looper is okish if you actively ignore the elephant in the room that it doesnt make any sense not to send people back several millions of years

Any time travel movie requires some suspension of disbelief.

The sun when going into T1 just plain sucks.

Would be a great track for a 12 or 24hr race, tbh.

The first rule of a gunfight is to not have one in the first place, IMO.

Quote from flymike91 :It is already the case that felons and the mentally ill are limited in their access to guns but state laws vary. And as I said before assault weapons are the only type of weapons that can be used effectively against armored soldiers. I'm sure people in communites all around the world never thought they would be attacked by soldiers or targeted by their own government's military.

Things can change. The government will only go after gun owners to increase their own power. There are plenty of examples of governments first disarming and then subjugating or exterminating their citizens. With over 300,000,000 guns in the US it is unlikely to happen here, but that is the result of legislation made 200 years ago and exists in spite of what the government would prefer to exist as law today.

Can almost taste how badly you want this to actually happen.

Anyway, for some perspective on mass shootings and the USA, I suggest you all check out this very informative piece: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... ngs-in-the-united-states/

Quote from majod :In fact I'm very surprised that Americans themselves are happy and they welcome new ideas like banning weapons and putting an armed officer to every school. With Obama trying so pass the gun resitriction, those massing shootings only support this idea in the public. Swiss families have at least one gun at home...

Not even US shitty police beats people to death and shoot them all the time, now they will be few steps of your children all the time. For their protection? Maybe. TSA is also supposed to be for your protection. Now a woman with her bottled breast milk can't get on a plane without having her milk radiated and is humiliated in front of others for minutes.

This has nothing to do with any conspiracy, those are facts.

Armed officers in schools (+ blaming video games): http://www.businessinsider.com ... k-school-shooting-2012-12

Brutal police everywhere...

Typically those in the USA who are for increased gun control are not those who are for guns in every classroom (something that was extremely ironically suggested by the NRA yesterday). Turning schools into bunkers is a completely retarded idea, and I can only think the NRA introduced it because they knew it would shift the conversation away from gun control.

Anyway, any sane person realizes that a complete eradication of guns is not only unfeasible but undesirable. Most of us only want the eradication of assault weapons and more thorough background checks/screenings on everything else. Along with easier access to mental health care, better gun education, and so on.

Quote from thisnameistaken :Actually the story that has been mooted for comparison in the UK press is the policy of drone strikes against civilians in Pakistan. Apparently 168 children dead so far. People who arrive at the scene of a drone strike to provide emergency assistance are also targeted. Funerals for the victims of drone strikes are also targeted.

There's not so much coverage of that in the western media. That's a lot more dead children, murdered by the US government.

Drone strikes got quite a lot of coverage in the leadup to the Presidential election, actually. Not enough, though, I agree.

Quote from Sueycide_FD :Already, 4 people from the local drift forum have one. Well one is a brz lol. Haven't seen a brz though.

Yeah, you're right. 4 is a ton, particularly in a small subset of drivers guaranteed to be particularly interested in this kind of car.

Quote from majod :Too tired to quote. The pic of tiny piece of plane near Pentagon is totally worthless for me. That's all from the entire aircraft?

You made some valid points but I will not change my opinion about these things and any further debate is pointless. You think I'm an idiot, I don't think you're an idiot. I think there are things in the world we have no idea about and they (whoever you imagine as they) don't want us to know it.

Have a nice Christmass mate.

Thanks, dude. Same to you. And I should clarify. I don't think you're an idiot, but I think believing that 9/11 was a huge inside job-style conspiracy is idiotic. Maybe a distinction without meaning to you, but maybe not.

Quote from Racer X NZ :Ahh, the flat earth society must be meeting.

Police audio stating they arrested a second person suggests just that

Eyewitness seeing someone else handcuffed on the ground suggests just that

Sorry, forgot that any evidence that suggests anything different wasn't permitted.

At least look at the evidence before stating it doesn't exist, that's what the cops are for........

Witnesses report all kinds of things immediately after the fact, when adrenaline is pumping and things are in a confusion. How many of those same witnesses are continuing to support those claims, a week later? I guess they were probably silenced by the masterminds behind the grand conspiracy, right?

And on another note, got any sources for these eyewitness claims?

Quote from majod :I hope you can see what you did there. This is going heavily offtopic but you say the bandwagon is the reality. How do you know it is the reality? How do you know what I believe in is NOT the reality? Just because you believe something else, it must be the reality? Or because it was on TV it must be the reality? You just said that the official version is absolute truth. Why is the official version more valuable than the unofficial?

Typically because it's based on recorded evidence rather than unfounded suppositions by people who were nowhere near the actual event.

Quote :You called me idiot because I don't believe what you believe but you're the one here saying that your version is the reality and it's the 100% truth. Just because you chose to believe something else. Tolerancy is almost shining from your words and I can see the glare on the western horizon...

I called you an idiot because I can see no logical grounds to assume that there's anything more to this incident than a crazy person mowing down innocents. It's not like this is the firs ... has happened or anything. The US has a serious problem with mass shootings, for reasons that are an endless subject of debate. (I have my own ideas as to why, as I'm sure does everyone else here.)

Quote :You can be wrong as much as I can be. The difference is I'm not attacking anyone, my parents raised me well. I don't like arguing with anyone but I don't like when someone's attacking me on something very, very subjective. Mind your words next time. I'm an atheist and I'm not telling every Christian they're idiots because they chose to believe in God; also I'm not claiming this is the reality and it's the right way.

You can say that everything (truth, evidence, etc) is subjective, but that's not a very useful way to view the world unless your only goal is to muddy the waters and propagate theories that lack rational grounding. It's the same tactic that Christian conservatives and such use to argue that the earth is 4000 years old. I understand the urge—I come from a liberal arts background where I was strongly encouraged to doubt the truth of accepted facts and consider alternative viewpoints, but skepticism can be a tool for disinformation as well as truth-seeking.

Quote :Now back on another offtopic. What made me think there's some "conspiracy" is the video I posted above, the police officer giving speech to the press. Now I can imagine response of others arguing how can I claim there's a conspiracy based on this single speech.

Because I think that arresting people for saying their opinions on social media has no place in fair liberal democratic country as USA says it is. That was the first hint something is not right. Then I began to investigate and every other article I read on this story just told me I'm thinking the good way. So I chosed to believe the other story. You can google all the information by yourself.

Let's take an alternative, Occam's razor approach to this cop's statements: He's emotionally shaken by the shooting, he (and others who live in the immediate area of the shooting) see people on the internet propagating falsehoods regarding to what happened there, and in his emotional state he makes a foolish threat that he can't legally back up.

One guy's emotional response to a couple dozen schoolkids getting gunned down in his community, or a national/worldwide conspiracy to limit first amendment rights to free speech? Yeah, must be the latter.

Quote :You can also call me an idiot because I don't believe in 9/11 and you say the reality is that muslims crashed the planes and there are terrorists everywhere and USA must kill them all cos they're the bad guys. But you neither I can say that our story is the right one, until we have all the evidence on the surface. And we don't. We just have news reports and expert analysis and 4 frames from video showing tiny black object hitting the Pentagon. You can choose to believe a plane crashed there, I chose not to because I never saw a plane there.

You're right, I can call you an idiot for this. And I do. There's plenty of evidence that it was in fact a passenger jet that hit the pentagon if you'd like to open your eyes to it, but you won't. Sure, there are just as many resources that you can find arguing that it was a missile, or an alien ship, or a bomb. OMG, who can you trust?! Obviously no one, right?



If you disbelieve everything you don't witness with your own eyes, you must live in a very different world than most of us. You think you're enlightened because you choose to believe something different than the majority, but that's an error. You're unenlightened for ignoring evidence and logic in favor of conspiracy and paranoia.

Sincerely,
The Sheeple

Quote from majod :Oh the joy of online forums - if you're not in the bandwagon, you're an idiot. You look like you're just walking around the streets and calling people ****ers and idiots just because they do/believe something else than you do.

edit: reaction to post above, which was edited later.

"The bandwagon" = reality.

I ask again, what makes you overlook the obvious explanation for what happened in favor of some elaborate conspiracy/coverup?
