Hurlshort Posted March 30, 2017 Author Posted March 30, 2017 I'm with WoD on this one. Those "misguided children" would have killed him dead had he not been armed. I have weapons in every room of my home and a firm policy of shooting first and asking questions later. If I catch someone on my property I'll ask them to leave nicely. If someone forces their way into my home that will be all for them. Oh I'd agree as well, I believe even police officers are trained to aim for the chest. You only mess around with trick shots in the movies.
Amentep Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 The way I understand it the bill only allows the sale of statistical data, not personally identifiable data. As I understand it, all S.J.Res. 34 does is disapprove the rule "Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services." That FCC rule tried to argue that ISP were in a different class to providers of services (ie that COMCAST and GOOGLE were inherently different). The kind of protections that were afforded by the rule was more along the lines of "a broadband provider can't deny you broadband if you don't agree to us selling your data" and "a broadband provider can't sell your data without you first agreeing to your data being sold". There was no such provision that non-ISPs, like Facebook, couldn't sell your data, because as non-ISPs the non-ability to use their service didn't necessarily remove you from the flow of information. That said, as has been pointed out since "Protecting" hadn't been implemented, technically no one lost any protections they didn't already have. I can't tell if the Privacy of Customer Information (section 702) of the FCC's "Telecommunications Act of 1996" is what protects some information or not (they at several points say "telecommunication services" includes "information services" in other sections but not in 702); I have read that some data mining is protected only by the particular ISP's internal policies. I'm with WoD on this one. Those "misguided children" would have killed him dead had he not been armed. I have weapons in every room of my home and a firm policy of shooting first and asking questions later. If I catch someone on my property I'll ask them to leave nicely. If someone forces their way into my home that will be all for them. Oh I'd agree as well, I believe even police officers are trained to aim for the chest. You only mess around with trick shots in the movies. To be fair, I think most media outside a few particular characters (like the Lone Ranger) didn't intentionally go for trick shots either. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Has nothing to do with "stand your ground"? They were taken out before they got to do any damage to innocent people. Lucky break for society, and serves them right. Hopefully other Oklahoma would-be victimizers will think twice thanks to this reminder that the innocent aren't helpless cattle waiting to be slaughtered. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

An intriguing development, at the very least. This is a huge development, especially since Flynn is asking for immunity the salient question needs to be " what would Flynn require immunity from " ?

ShadySands Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I dunno Bruce. I used to think it was a big deal to ask for and get immunity until they started handing it out like candy in the Clinton investigation 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Agiel Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 We should note that Flynn is being represented by Robert Kelner, who backed Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn when they ran in the 2016 election, later founded Stand Up Republic, and are among the strongest voices calling for an independent inquiry into Kremlin-support for Trump. 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

BruceVC Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I dunno Bruce. I used to think it was a big deal to ask for and get immunity until they started handing it out like candy in the Clinton investigation Yeah, I hear you Lets see how this works out We should note that Flynn is being represented by Robert Kelner, who backed Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn when they ran in the 2016 election, later founded Stand Up Republic, and are among the strongest voices calling for an independent inquiry into Kremlin-support for Trump. But this is a good thing for me, we need to settle this matter one way or another so the country can move on to other more meaningful political debates around certain global issues for example "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

redneckdevil Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I'll be completely honest. I really couldn't give a **** if they found any ties between Trump and Russia. Reason I guess is because I'm getting burnt out on all these accusations and just don't care anymore. Seriously, this is something very important but we are being overloaded with all these small things so often and soooo much, I just don't care anymore. 2
