Somalian literacy?

Heat, and therefore ice cream sales, increases restlessness and discontent.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

You might be keen to dumb down the spelling of English, but don't expect the civilised world to fall meekly behind.

I'm still not understanding the relevance of comparing British murder rates to Fairfax, VA murder rates. I get that someone said HC lives in a murderous hellhole which is obviously not true but the point that we have much higher murder rates in the US than in Britain is very much true.
Philly's was 27 per 100,000 people a few years back but is down to 19.6 as of 2010.
New Orleans' is 49.1 per 100K
Obviously, what constitutes murder varies between countries but according to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._homicide_rate) the global rate is 7.6 per 100K.
So NOLA has almost 6.5x the global rate. That's really bad.
Our national average is 4.8

BOOM! Headshot! ... I once took out 12 guys in a row in CS using a wall hack. This obviously means our military and police should just ditch the body armor because it's useless when it's so easy to just plant one right between the eyes ... especially in a panicked crowd, in a dark and smoke filled theater while under fire in a surprise attack!

Well. reggy are a patent idiot if he thinks that some paintball game has any resemblance with real gunfight

No, a paintball game is nothing like a gunfight, but the mechanical aspect of aiming a paintball gun at someone at point blank range isn't different from aiming a gun, except that aiming a gun is easier.

The -ize vs. -ise thing isn't a question of British vs. American, like color and colour. In the latter case, both can be correct, but in the former case, only -ize is correct. -ise is a deviation of British English from after American and British spellings diverged.

On his verified profile on a sex/dating website, he described his penis as "short".
In case anyone's wondering, the movie was ****ing AWESOME.

So, initially I meant this as a 'remember the dead' thread.
The reason I started it - Thursday night I was at a live theatre production. The theatre was in a complex with a movie theatre. There was a long line up of people, families, friends, some in costumes, some had been waiting there for hours to be the 'first in line' to see the new movie. I left the theatre around 11:30 as people were being left in - I assume the theatre was packed.
A couple of hours after I got home, I noticed the story on the net. It really hit me hard. I actually cried, something I rarely do.
I am pleased the media is memoralizing the victims and ignoring the piece of **** who did this.
I guess you Americans need your guns. Good luck with that.
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
Spoken like a true anti-gun advocate. Brainless, but WTF, huh?
The shooter would have guns, no matter the law. People with permits don't just show up and collect a permit, there's actually instruction required.
Bugs, a lot of the stuff you write is entertaining, but you're way off the mark on this one.

Did not like this movie at all, particularly the ending.
Ending is predictable, the characters (particularly Catwoman and Batman) appear to act randomly and without regard for what happened 20 minutes prior, too many cliches to mention. Just not a good film.
Your response there doesn't appear to bear any relevance to the quote it's linked to. Do you want to take a second attempt at that post?

Movie was..meh
You mean they're not going to give Gordon-Levitt the chance to play Robin? Why did they bother with that whole schtick at the end?

Hopefully Nolan does not get to direct any more of this and can return to being a real filmmaker. This was not near the quality of the dark knight.
I really liked it

They help with home invasions.
Keep your eye on the amount of time this takes.
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.
I'm against gun control for purely logistical reasons (ie, it ain't ever gonna happen, ever ever ever), but it clear from a statistical standpoint that guns are more likely to used, either intentionally or by accident, on oneself or other household members, than they are against any sort of home invaders or attackers.

Errr....why would you make that assumption?
He clearly didn't have any underground criminal connections. He got what was legal and convenient.
In Canada, he'd probably have shot the theatre up with a single 0.22 if anything. Which would've had dramatically different results.
Ah, the rage of a man seeing others make money out of something which , for him, is just a beloved hobby.
