I've been following this closely myself. I'm astounded by how many people how decided to turn themselves into armchair analysts and deduce that these riots are the work of thugs 100%. It's far more complex then that. There are a great many reasons for the riot, and I'm not gonna pretend that I understand the various motivations of these people until the dust settles.
Another thing that has me perplexed is that when people protest and then riot against continued police brutality, the response of the public is to ramp up the polices power to greate heights? As if it will help? Well, at least the metropolitan police force didn't resort just some of the suggested extreme tactics, just a good old surge.

The most recent dream I had was rather annoying. In it, I woke up, got dressed, went to work, came back home, then woke up from my real dream. My brain is an asshole sometimes.
Crollo, I may not like fucktards, but they don't deserve to be killed for it. If you think someone deserves to die for being stupid, your in the same boat as Hitler.
Urgh, patriotism. The virtue of the violent and the ignorant.
I only got stuck once by one of the puzzles. Perhaps it was getting too late at night, but I was exhausted and frustrated, and I Googled for the solution.
I'm not surprised Europe became midly anti-American during Bush's reign. If I remember correctly, America itself had a hard time tolerating him the moment he got into office.
The biased "America is the devil!" view that rose in europe during the Bush-era is stupid, but somewhat understandable.Erm, I do believe that actually started in the middle east, when the Saudi's allowed America to build bases on its soil. I think thats when the whole "America is the devil" thing started. Europe joined in once Bush came along yes?
Yeah that didn't really go so well in fallout 3 :SThe Vaults were never meant to save anyone after all
He reformed Libya, made it the riches country in Africa. He did more than enough.Indeed he did, and it was only when he turned batshit crazy and starting killing everyone when they wanted democracy that anyone bothered to commit in getting rid of him.
America does nothing but f*** up peoples countries, when some one tries to do something for the good of its country and it goes against Americas will they automatically become terrorists. Example of that is Gadafi.Whilst I usually would agree that American imperialism is, at best, incredibly tiring and arrogant (and their allies, who fall into lockstep behind them, urgh) I don't think Gaddafi is really a good example. I mean, its a bit hard to say hes doing something good for his country when he is intent on killing ever last man, woman and child that opposes him (and I do not exagerate here, he has proclaimed he will show no mercy). Even when he was questioned on this, he claimed, iniatially, that his people loved him, even whilst they were rebelling.
So yeah, Considering Gaddafi's rather ruthless attitude to people trying to form a democracy in Libya, I would say that intervention, of some form, was kinda needed.
Going back to Osama, I would agree more with, for the first and last time, Stephen Harper when he said that he felt "sober satisfaction" at Osama's death.

I read about this two days ago. It's pretty interesting news, especially since it essentially revolutionizes the way we think about life.
Damn, looks like I was late to the party e-card wise. Regardless, I'll send her an email hoping her for the best.
Wow. That was really quite a fun comic to read, and certainly nice to see the some of the plot holes and background story told.
The success of our nation depends on how well we can pwn noobs.In my opinion, they should replace several weeks in boot camp with several weeks in mom's basement playing CSS. Best soldiers money can buy.
A pretty funny deathnote parody I found floating amoung the interwebs.
Lawl resolution.

Is there nothing you can't do with an iPhone these days?
Psilous, I had to read that twice before I can properly understand what you were saying. Is using correct grammar, or even just partially correct grammar, really that difficult of a task? Heck, making it legible even.
On the whole movie thing, I'm not too concerned about it. It doesn't stop people from inquiring about movies they find in stores or learning about them over the net. Nor does it stop ordering over the net or anything particular like that. Though I do wonder if this is just a stepping stone to enforce a greater ban on R-rated movies and what not.
What the heck are we supposed to use if Google goes? Yahoo? Fuck that crap!

Now, imagine a world without Google.No..... No.. No No No No No NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
We'll all plunge back into the Dark Ages.

I wonder if you had sex with the robot so much in one day, and that, whilst having sex, it overheated and the skin melted off and hardened around your dick whilst it was still inside, fusing you and the robot together.
I don't know what made that thought come to my mind.

I laughed for a good 5 minutes there. I suppose it was only a matter of time before somebody did this.
Oh, and Striker? Why? You just know somebody is going to blow a casket over that comment.

Since when was Scientology a religion?
Its GMT -8 where I am, so new years isn't for another 2 hours and 19 minutes 
I like the criss-crossing nature of the paths there, Luke. Looks pretty cool from a high-up vantage point.
I saw that Jesus Camp film awhile back on Youtube. I heard that shortly after the film's release, there was a real big backlash about it and the camp closed down. Good riddance.
Also, on Hitler. I would say that, had he not been obssessed with destroying inferior races, he probably would've been one of the greatest and most respected leaders in history. Its somewhat ironic that his ambitions that lead him to great power became his ultimate downfall. Even when the Russians were heading straight for Berlin, he tried diverting vital resources to have more people sent to camps.
On religion, I don't particularly care what people believe in. As long as you keep it out of public and, above all else, politics, I'm fine with it.

Ii have to agree with Satchmo here. Your articles there are interesting and humurous to read, whilst sticking to the point.
Psilous clearly doesn't play TF2.

Oh look, another celebrity has died. 2009 seems to be the worst year for these guys.
Wow Striker. Say what you want about him people, he has balls. Massive fucking balls. Or maybe he just doesn't realise what he has done yet?
Oh well, bravo!
Oh well, bravo!
Man, thats awesome. Maybe life in the universe was much more closer then we think?
So this is what Saribous meant by the collider being used to impress woman.
It's been around for several years and you still don't know? Haven't you read any articles on the machine that explains what it does? What they want to use it for?

I'm not getting it because a web-strict computer sounds uselessThis.
@38_98 only girls like that movie, i never saw it because im not some 13-18 year old girl wanting to be with some 20-24 year old man. not saying you are. just most people in general who go to it are.I saw it because my aunt bought it, and has insisted that I watch it with her. She was ruthless the first time, but after the next 20 viewings she let me off the hook.
I saw Twilight, and it pretty much sucked. It's a step up from the book, which, from what I've seen on the Internet and various reviews, is a steaming pile of horse shit. But its still a pretty bad film, as are all teen romance films, or for that matter, teen films in general.
It's not the money he'll be getting. It's the name and address he'll get. And there could be more follow-up emails from him demanding more details so he can set up his eBay transaction thing.

Sorry, I worded what I said somewhat badly. What I meant is that, with the boundaries the media have set for games, this will certainly invoke a serious backlash. And in a time where games are placed under heavy scrutiny for much more minor things, something like this may have a hard time making it to the shelves.
Personally? I don't particularly mind the scene, considering the context. I would say more, but others have already covered it.

In a post 9/11 world, and in a time when games fall under considerable scrutiny for the smallest of things, this is really just pushing it too far.
