    This is just another reason stronger gun control is needed.

    That depends, are you Jewish? *shot*

    Is The Customer Always Right?

    Not with me they don't, I've pretty much stared down assholes for half an hour until they get the message that they're wrong and should fuck right off.

    UK health system killed teen girl

    How did the health system kill her? She refused treatment/examinations. You can't force someone, especially if they've already got mental health issues to begin with. It's a pity, but not something the health service can be blamed for.

    E3 2015 Recap

    The main reason the game was hyped up initially was due to it being 'the first 3D RPG' on home consoles, or because it was the first game in the series a lot of people played (because VII was the first FF released in Europe), or a tumult of other reasons that are generally nonsensical or...

    E3 2015 Recap

    World of Final Fantasy is the only thing I really care about. FFVII was trash, a remake won't change that. Kingdom Hearts started out dull and got progressively worse. I don't have a Nintendo console, nor do I own a PS4 or Xbox One. Don't care enough about Fallout to be excited for 4...

    Are YOU smarter than a Hong Kong first grader?

    Yep, it's not that hard to figure out. Took me about 15 seconds before I tried the obvious >.>

    Young people should pay back benefits when they find a job, says Tory group

    I certainly wouldn't call the current benefits system generous at all. When I lost my job and had to sign on for JSA in order to live, I wound up getting approx. £110 per 2 weeks; £55 a week. Out of this I had to buy food for myself, clothing, travel expenses, rent. I also had to attend...

    Family Raided by SWAT and their Dog Shot, for Being Unable to Pay Utility Bill

    Well yeah, they're cops. By default they're in the wrong, they probably murdered the woman and are just pretending she's still alive to look good for the press.

    Campaigners launch petition to stop parents piercing their babies’ ears

    So you're saying rules shouldn't exist because there are people that wouldn't follow them? Besides, smoking and drinking underage are still choices made by the person performing them. It is their bodies which will take whatever damage it does to them. Meanwhile, piercing your child's ear does...

    Women's World Cup 2015

    BBC3 gets every game, I believe. Dunno if you can get that in the US though, even through their 'catch-up' service.

    Women's World Cup 2015

    Canada's penalty was questionable at best. I don't think the Chinese player even knew the Canadian was behind her, let alone that she was sprinting in to clothesline herself. Shitty call by the ref. Germany's game was just hilarious. 10-0? Ivory Coast should've gotten a goal, but it was...

    Man Asks City To Ban Fart Smells -- For A Good Reason

    If he can prove that the stench of marijuana is created through an uncontrollable, unstoppable bodily function, maybe he'll have a better shot. As it stands, he's probably just a stoner being anal about it.

    The Honest and Dishonest Guards

    "Which door would the other guard tell me is the exit?" The guard who always lies will point to the bad door (because he'll lie about the other guard's intentions), and the guard who tells the truth will point at the bad door too, because the liar wants you to die. So then you just take the...

    New smartphone browser will block ALL adverts from your phone

    ABP doesn't seem to block all ads on PC anyway, so I doubt their mobile browser will manage it.

    If you found out that your partner

    Nope. The only way my partner's sexual dealings with others would bother me would be if they were performed whilst in a relationship with me.

    The closest you have ever come

    About five years ago I broke my leg, had an op to put steel rods in, and they didn't take proper care afterwards. I wound up with blood poisoning and was a day or two away from losing my leg entirely. Not really close to death I guess, but still.

    Boy shoots through window and kills friend who was trying to wake him

    So would that technically mean that if someone were pointing a gun at you through the window, you couldn't shoot them first? Or is there a contingency for that sort of thing?

    Boy shoots through window and kills friend who was trying to wake him

    To quote SmartGunLaws.org, "Minimum Age for Gun Possession: Federal law prohibits, with certain exceptions*, the possession of a handgun or handgun ammunition by any person under the age of 18.11 Federal law provides no minimum age for the possession of long guns or long gun ammunition." I...
