  1. UK is more around ~150 while the US is around 30,000. But I agree with you on the purpose.

     

    Don't really agree with you on that. Using that logic, none of the constitutional rights are human rights and none of them should be argued for on moral grounds. It all really depends on what someone defines as a 'human right' and 'moral grounds' which is extremely subjective. So really the 'weight' something carries depends on the person.

    No, what I was trying to say is that something which is a constitutional right is not by default a human right or a necessity, but that does not mean that a constitutional right cannot be a human right. Example - Free speech, freedom of religion, gender equality, all people free and equal, these are human rights and included in constitutions. Depriving someone of the "right" to own a deadly weapon is not a violation of their human rights by any means.

     

    Edit: Any numbers I got wrong in the above post, yeah, I was going from memory, though as an update, within the next 30 years there could be as many as 1,000,000 firearm related deaths in the US, and in the last 10 years there has been 300,000+ deaths. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km5WXejf47s

    Also, I don't see the relevance of rates of rape in the UK to gun violence.


  2. First 20 seconds, he compares guns to gays. kk.

     

    Guns serve one practical purpose, and are designed for one reason; to kill. The UK and ireland combined have maybe 80~ gun-related deaths each year. The US has 10,000+. It doesn't matter what the average person intends to do with their gun or the safety measures they say they take, accidents happen, fits of rage happen, crimes of passion happen, mass shootings happen. No good can come for starbucks by allowing guns into their businesses.

     

    A constitutional right is not a human right, and as such shouldn't be argued for on moral grounds. Just because it's in the same document doesn't give it the same weight as freedom of speech or religion.


  3. (tl;dr the rulechanges could be dumb, could force CTs to be unable to acknowledge vents)

     

    I think you should tread carefully when it comes to changing the current vent and armory rules. People always like to enforce rules by very strict wording, and ambiguity can arise. As far as I'm aware, the "on top of armory" rule doesn't really apply to actually being inside, or being able to just run back in whenever, but more to do with shit like the upper balcony on lego. Being unable to use that part of the map seems a bit dumb. 

     

    Also, "staring" at vent cell can be really weird to enforce. What if you see T's cell hopping like crazy to go towards that cell, the vent is open, all T's in that vicinity are missing, and forcing yourself to look away from that cell is basically condoning rebelling? Or simply if you're watching the T who happens to be outside that cell? I understand when it comes to literally camping it and never moving your mouse away, but I predict that if a strictly worded rule comes in we'll have a lot of dead T's spectating CT's and asking admins to !ct them because they looked at the cell, or noticed that it was open. 

     

    Edit: T's have it pretty easy as it is when it comes to rabbling. The reasons for these rule changes should not be to make any rebelling attempts insta-success. It should always carry major risks. If you can sprint at vent cell safe in the knowledge that you will never be followed, gg.


  4. It's pretty important to consider that no one wants to take orders from someone who sounds like they haven't hit puberty, because that's when the T's start analysing what they're doing with their lives. It just sounds like total shit.

    Sure, sometimes the rule got a bit spastic, like when there was a girl around, and people would bend "when balls haven't dropped" to "if you don't possess a pair of balls no mic lol" but I was pretty glad for it nonetheless. To me, it was pretty effective at summing up the differences between sG and eGO. I'm still gonna mute a screaming squeaker.


  5. This sounds like a test

     

    you should go into your next project with an idea, a framework in mind, and make something a bit longer, with a drop and shit.

     

    could be bangin


  6. Saw this on TYT, makes me glad I live where I do.

     

    Arguing whether or not the dog may have done something or how much it could have done, and what reaction is warranted isn't as important as the fact that the cops shouldn't have been in the situation to begin with. They should never have wasted time arresting someone for recording them, that's complete bullshit, it's not illegal.
