    The New Shiny Escapist

    Whatever new font you're using, either Chrome hates it, or my system isn't rendering them right. And either way, it's alternating in line thickness between three or four pixels to fifty or sixty. It's rather difficult to read.

    Poll: Enough with this 2-weapon limit bullcrap

    I'd prefer a modified Rainbow Six Vegas take on it: Optional - melee weapon (Knife, sword, hittin' stick. Could be integrated into a separate Melee Attack action) Sidearm (pistol, short SMG) Two Primary weapons (Assault/Battle Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, LMG) Optional Heavy weapon...

    In your opinion, who is/was the greatest human being of all time?

    Winston Churchill. Odd that a Yank would nominate a British PM, innit?

    8-year-old's Uzi death at gun show

    For the parents, perhaps. The instructor (I can't say that with a straight face, try as I might) should've stopped him the second he saw that the kid was bringing the muzzle upward. For those who're decrying firearms in civilian hands, here is a simple go/no go test to determine if someone...

    Poll: The Most Morally Ambiguous Choice I've Ever Seen

    No, because the second he reaches for his radio, it gets kicked out of his hand, and that boot heel comes crashing into his jaw. Then his weapon gets field-stripped. I leave him the receiver, and we proceed through. I drop the bolt a few miles away.

    Poll: The Most Morally Ambiguous Choice I've Ever Seen

    I take Option 3: disarm the guard, and say "I got a better idea: You let us through, I let you live. Deal?"

    Poll: THE ARMY: What Would You Serve In?

    None of the above Marine Armorer. Otherwise known as the guy who fixes your weapon when you screw up and break it. Likely also the guy who gives out your ammo. Nobody ever considers the non-combat arms.

    214: Society of the Spectator

    God of War. Awesome to watch when the friend playing knows what the hell he's doing.

    Weapons in your room...

    SIG 556 rifle. I don't keep ammo for it in here, but I do a) know where the ammo is, and b) have a fun little gizmo for quickly stuffing a magazine with said ammo Or either of the two pistols in here.

    N. Korea Threatens USA

    Re-read your history books. The Korean war started when the North, with Soviet backing, pushed across the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea. Pushed 'em WAY the hell back, to Pusan harbor (correct me if I'm wrong, please), before US forces landed. Then the US-ROK forces pushed the DPRK...

    Proposed Bill Gives Obama Power to Shut Down Internet

    What's the betting that Computerworld got the story from The Register? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/01/federal_cybersecurity_legislation/ Please note the date. As well, there's some rule somewhere that basically says that legislation needs to be noted in various places. Among...

    Get out of my head! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

    Technically, it's MY head. But I don't mind sharing. Sorry, had to make the joke.

    School shootings in America (and a wee bit help with homework!)

    See, this is the thing I love. People will argue that gun control works to curb crime until they're blue in the face (or the fingers, in this case), despite being presented with lots of evidence to the contrary (clev, I'm looking straight at you; reread that study's conclusion, and this time...

    School shootings in America (and a wee bit help with homework!)

    zombiepandaman's right. Also, clev, don't stop reading when you see something that appears to support your side. As Father Time pointed out, defensive firearm use seems to be a pretty darn good thing.
