****.  Something like this tramples all over due process.
17:37:02   Quanto: I want to have sexual intercourse with every space elf in existence
17:37:11   SpardaSon21: even the males?
17:37:22   Quanto: its not gay if its an elf

[21:51] <@Droid803> I now realize
[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

I meant, if this were real, why didn't it break a month and a half ago?

Re: Copyright legislation takes a turn for the worse
Not just here, anywhere.  The second might have some merit to it, but until I actually hear about the first, I very much doubt its credibility.

The second one references it, I actually found them in the other order, but I thought to post links... well, in the order I did.

France's Supreme court already struck down similar provisions because of due process concerns.  I can't see them flying any better in any other democratic country.

Re: Copyright legislation takes a turn for the worse
This may be the most [unpleasant] thing I've ever heard of... in a while, at least.

What makes it worse is that the proposal has apparently been kept classified, thus denying the populace which the legislature would affect any knowledge of what's being planned for them.

Now if only they thought of pirates as potential customers not being satisfied rather than petty thieves to be hunted.

i warned you about biden, but you didnt listen.

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

That is bigoted and in extremely poor taste. You wouldn't call something "Jew-tastic" or "broad-tastic", would you? That is basically what you are doing.

Not that good ol' Thaeris is a bigot by disposition, but yes, the statement itself is bigoted and it's a habit we should all work on kicking.

Since you decided to use homophobic comments for no good reason, you are now the most gay-tackular thing on this thread.

You get to keep that custom title for a couple of days as a warning not to use that language again.
