Publicly badmouthing the company you work for and its customers is one of the dumbest things you can do as an employee. Don't do it, you'll be fired. There is no such thing as an employer who finds this kind of stuff good natured fun. It is damaging to their business and they'd be a fool not to get rid of you.

If there is any moral lesson to be learned from I, Anonymous it is "You are no better than the person you hate." There is a clear trend of the authors outing themselves as horrible people while ranting at the horrible actions of others. This one takes the cake though; here's a guy who used to be friends with Nazis, fantasizes about hitting women, and has no problem using sexist slurs, and yet he is DISGUSTED by the actions of this other person.

The problem isn't wealthy Seattle hipsters and their 2 child families, the problem is explosive population growth in China and Africa. We need to do more to promote birth control and family planning in the Third World.

Exactly Charles, fucking EXACTLY. Why does our society have to be so damn reactionary?

Jan 14 Brandon J. commented on Prosecutor Rightly Blamed for Death of Aaron Swartz.

Stealing millions of dollars worth of content from a nonprofit organization is pretty egregious, but it is not worthy of a punishment we give to murderers and rapists. What's the point of having a criminal justice system if it can't be fair?

I'm going to invent a new recipe for seasoned mixed nuts, to be consumed while hunting, and I'm going to call it Gun Nuts. I'll make a goddamn fortune!

Actually @4, Christ's torture and death has not been discarded, it is in fact the entire basis for Christianity! I'm not too clear on the details, but I think the dogma goes something like this: "Christ died for your sins, so don't have sex or eat meat on Fridays." Also @4, congratulations on making this thread about religion in just four posts.

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that the Nation Defense Authorization Act still exists, it allows the government to treat you like the people in this movie, without a lawyer or trial. President Obama voted for it after saying he wouldn't, and has since said he will veto any bill that seeks to reign in the law.

@2 I must have missed the part where the author said he forced his friend to come to the concert with him. Perhaps she wanted to come, because pregnant women don't want to spend 9 months just lying in bed waiting for the baby to pop out?

Jan 8 Brandon J. commented on Seattle/King County Announce Gun Safety Initiative: Gun Buyback and Free Trigger Locks.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Most guns cost way more than one or two hundred dollars. I suppose if you're broke or desperate this might be appealing, but you could still sell it for way more.

2. This sounds like a great way to get rid of a gun used in a crime, the authorities will destroy the evidence for you!
