In prison you get fed. If nobody sells you food, you don't.

Sorry but I feel so good about this. People giving abusers a little of their own medicine. It should happen more. Abusers with a badge, the worst

I know what's up with that? I love the rain, but we're just getting the sh*tty skies without any precipitation.

Or pull a Mr. Burns on us.

Mother Nature is pulling a Mr. Burns on us today, apparently.  Unhappy

Some of them can be funny (because they're so terrible), but yeah in most cases they're just awful.  That goes for pretty much any comment section of any article on the internet.

Unfortunately, she'd probably make a fortune just because a lot of people buy into intimidation (or are just stupid).

I agree, but I will not pay to look at because I believe I have homesteaded the use of the lights rays long before she gets to the surface and plants her flag.

Wow. Just wow.

It's nice to see that the private sector seems to be giving her plenty of public humiliation. I'm a big believer in social pressure as a motivational tool.

I'm more concerned with the government's war on the internet than anything in Korea.  Might just be me but I find the US government a greater threat to my liberty right now than the North Korean government.


So much for using torrents for downloading Linux distributions.

Personally, I find it amazing that a country like North Korea can commit an act of war against its neighbor, and all that happens is a bunch of meetings and impotent bluster. World War I was fought over less. Half a century ago, they would been reduced to a smoldering pile of ash for such an attack. But in this modern world of tolerance and compassion, no one has the belly for a good fight anymore, and so we're just going to keep letting bullies bully. I don't want the U.S. to get involved, but if I were a South Korean I'd be pretty damn bloodthirsty about it.


And thank God that's the case. The overwhelming majority of casualties in war are innocent of any politics or the causes of the conflict.
