Please provide in response a list of groups of people sorted by the amount of privilege held; starting with whichever combination of white cis heterosexual western etc. finds itself at the top this week. Or is the list updated daily now, I haven't checked in a while. Thank you.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. They exist to mop up after the crime has happened. Very rarely will you have an officer or a cruiser close enough to be able to do anything about it.

Not in the USA. And pardon me, but I don't see gun deaths being a problem. It's violent crime that I'd like to curb and I have a feeling that won't decrease simply with more laws in place. OT: It's been said in the past that violent videogames don't make people violent and that the issue is...

Disclaimer: I haven't played the game yet, so it might pull a fast one on me. I doubt it though. Watch Dogs. At the beginning it looked promising and I'm wondering how much of an effect the waiting and delays have caused, but I cannot stand how the story developed. Just look at it from the...

Look, I'll be the first to say Konami are exploiting the MGS fanbase with this title...but by god if this isn't the most brilliantly constructed thing ever. Story doesn't tie in to the Phantom Pain? Boy, you have no idea.

For wall of text prevention I'll spoiler tag my responses. Open whichever is relevant. Animyr Theism is defined as such: We can also use the wikipedia article (take it with a grain of salt, as always): From those, I think we can draw that deism not only has a completely...

You have that backwards, my friend. I know what it means, the difference is that I know that definitions are not informed by the original latin roots. That root is useful for figuring out the origin of the word. Once you want to know what the word means in the present, you look at how people...

Again, that's not how a dictionary works. If the vast majority of people use a word to mean X, then X will be added to the list of definitions in a dictionary, regardless if previously that same word was used to mean Y or Z. In the case of definitions, the popular opinion is the "true" meaning...

I'm a bit worried for the cohesion of the Church is Francis keeps "modernising" it, I don't want another schism. Don't get me wrong, I like this guy's ideas but the rate at which he's going about it is a bit scary. If the Church can survive it then we're all be better off for it. Francis...

They haven't had a ruling yet and you're saying they've won? Are you reading the same article I am? Also in that article you linked lies the answer the conundrum, let me quote it: ISPs forward information while Youtube stores information on their servers. That's the important distinction and...

Apparently someone important thinks more money could be lost in trials than in people ceasing to upload video game content. Also I must repeat myself, there are thousands of legit copyright infrigements caught by the system along with the legally uploaded. What you're presenting with the forest...

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...okay. I was hoping you'd get the implication of my previous post but no matter. ISPs CAN NOT BE SUED for their users' illegal conduct. There is no law that allows this currently that I am aware of. As I've pointed out in my previous post, some interest...

I've had to explain this on page 7, read it. Here's the link ( http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.836410-Jimquisition-Copyright-War?page=7#20503870 ) I haven't heard of an ISP being sued when a user did something illegal using their service. I have seen attemps to make them...

Fair Use isn't relevant on Youtube. It would really help if you've actually read both Fair Use and Youtube's guidlines before stepping on your soapbox. OK, so it's fair to say you'll be first in line when Youtube starts hiring people to watch each and every single uploaded video and...

Exactly. The only issue I have with this paragraph is that "fair use" isn't relevant on Youtube. They have their own rules regarding these things, their own "fair use" as it were. Cor blimey, that's an excellent suggestion. I know Youtube isn't going to implement it (have they ever enacted a...
