Actually, I WAS a little confused about how they knew the threat was low enough not to wear armor but high enough to bring long guns. Maybe they have an excel spreadsheet that calculates the appropriate attire for each raid.

small caliber rifles are actually much safer than handguns to use near bystanders because they don't over penetrate targets or walls. If you expect you may do some shooting (who knows what someone with an estate like that is capable of) then you're better off with a small caliber rifle...

No flash-bangs or tear gas? Doesn't sound very American to me. As to WHY...the police never know exactly how the suspects will react.

I'd just like to point out that it's not downloadable content if you don't download it. They should stop calling it downloadable content.

It's like I read your mind right? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.320938-Australian-Study-Confirms-Dangers-of-Violent-Videogames#13119565

I found the paper at my university library. The "equally competitive" non-violent game is Top-Spin. Top Spin. Let that sink in. To quelch your curiosities on what "humanness" is... "Humanness: Participants then rated themselves [immediately following a 15 minute play session] on...

Exactly what I was thinking. As far as I can tell, they didn't do a non-violent but still highly competitive control like a racing game. I also want to know if they tested for both immediate and lingering "loss of humanity."

That is not always true. Should the rules be onerous and the class required for degree completion, then enforcement of the rules becomes unconscionable. (that is, they're too unfair to enforce.) The student must be given another option for course completion or the rules relaxed. The...

Obesity like that is rare and I don't think that's what the OT is talking about. It's a good point and something to mull over though. I was talking people who are obese (but not morbidly obese) and can still make a run for the bus. Most obese people these days are skinny people that got...

Talk to the Ombudsman's Office about the incident. Dismissal for such a minor annoyance wastes your time, money and denies you of educational benefit from that session. It may not be against the "rules" but is not ethical or professional behavior on the part of the professor, both of which...

Those thin people who eat a lot of crap are not healthier than you, their metabolic deficiencies are just hidden...yours are not. What's the difference? Well they're more likely to have insulin resistance, sudden onset diabetes, and heart disease...mostly because they have no outward reminder...

I AM superior to a mechanic, I'm an engineer. I know painfully well how dumb they are. *face palm* And you really need to read up on the subject more, I'm not just trying to argue. There is only one kind of intelligence, but people gravitate toward different expressions of that intelligence...

it has been proven time and time again that a very "street smart" person will perform extremely high on a standard IQ test. So will an artist, or a writer, or an engineer, because the tests measure intelligence, not knowledge. There are not different kinds of intelligence, there's just...
