This facebook thread is hilarious. "shooting things is not a violent action" Classic.

I find it hard to tell sometimes Fanboy, adr, whether you're arguing against these things because you actually believe it's not true or just because SDN people said it.


eta; hmm. after posting that I actually did look up some definitions. According to wikipedia, violence is directed at people. The Oxford English Dictionary however has it defined as force directed at someone or something which would include laptops.

The nuke thing? Yup.

I like how that guy keeps referring to it as his substitute dick, freud has been discredited for a while now.

In the USA it is author life +70 years. The smart money is that it will increased the next time Micky Mouse comes up for it's copyright being expired. Just like the last 3-5 times.

i never had the facebook

nor a laptop

nor the internet at all


as a child

OMG! ADR!

How are your parents not in PRISON for child abuse!

Couldn't they have just water boarded you instead!!!!!

The internet didnt exist until I was 18, we had one pc, for games and moms course work and one tv.

Fucking ma and pa kettle according to that thread

it was torture

utter torture


i never had an allowance either

and had to clean up after myself (and my lazy brother whom my mother always loved more. i wish his name was raymond but alas)

and either walked or took the bike to school through the snow each day

and didn't have the fashionable clothes

and either ate what my mother made and liked it or just starved to death

and had to go with her to the store to carry the stuff back on foot too


and even had a BED TIME




tough times

not sure how i made it

i didn't have any kind of regular access to the internet until i was 20

bunch of ingrates these days

OMG! OMG! OMG!


How did you survive without the Internet? How did you get on Facebook to post rants about your evil ungrateful parents who should just be glad you haven't run away, because you are obviously so successful and wonderful that you don't need them?

Don't they know that the Internet is a HUMAN RIGHT!!!!!!1!11!!

[/sarcasm]

I wonder exactly how many of these people who are arguing child abuse have regular contact with non-peer group teenagers?

my internet history:

my mother got it in like 1998 when her parents bought us our first computer

mother set it up the dial up

and didn't let any of us ever use it




in 1999 tho i started spending my lunch periods in school slipping away to the math teacher's room to read about programming on the net

so i kinda had it at that point

in..... 2002 i think my mother gave me her old computer

but no internets yet



so i would download some stuff to the FLOPPY DISK at school to bring it back

(one of my earlier useful programs was one to break a 6 MB file up so i could put it on like 5 floppy disks, then put it back together at home!)

this is what i refer to as my "DOS days" b/c i went kinda nuts writing dos programs for the next couple years in my bedroom lol



in late 2004 i got my own internets for the first time in the form of DIAL UP at college



then it was mid 2005 when the old folks decided to purchase BROAD BAND at home. hilariously my first ever SDN private message was informing me of this. my brother signed up just to send that.



and there you go. had the net ever since





sometimes i'm amazed at how many years have passed by since then


it feels like just yesterday was still high school (finished that off in june 2004)

Uh ? how old are you, anyway ? I always pictured you were, like, in your mid-thirties or something.

Man, you must be barely older than my youngest sister, and she was born in 1985...

i'm 25

born in late 1986


but i'm so set in my ways already that i prolly come across as some cranky geezer!

Heck, you're younger than I am...

fatty nerdism doesn't discriminate between ages

Holy flying spaghetti.

Only 4 years older than I am ?

... I feel like a child.

because corruption arises from magic and not from economic systems

corruption on whose part? because I don't totally follow how the Greek saga unfolded, but I'm pretty sure Goldman Sachs was peddling horseshit Greek bonds as Chanel #5

of course, the "corruption roffle" "analysis" is hilarious by itself, i just thought it was even more awesome how he went the extra mile to also say that corruption has nothing to do with capitalism

where the christ else would it come from? people buying illicit services from officials for fun? satan?

it's like saying Microsoft's anti-trust shit isn't about capitalism, or Apple's slave labour in china isn't about capitalism

fact: nine tenths of the law is about protecting capitalism from itself*


*figures may not be accurate

(the rest is about protecting people from capitalism, and capitalism from people)

Wow

You're 2 and a half years older than me

Are coffee and I seriously the oldest ones here?
