Video Games Make People Violent. But So Do Snakes, Bacon, and Serious Chess
Despite a widespread belief in a link between video games and violence the evidence for it is tenuous and based on flawed and quite possibly bogus studies.
For nearly thirty years we've been having this discussion, asking the question: do violent movies, music or video games make people violent? Well according to Brad Bushman and Craig Anderson of Iowa State University, yes. Based on the results of their research they concluded in 2001 that video games and violent media can make people aggressive and violent. Based upon their data and their conclusions, however, it's safe to say that photos of snakes, crispy bacon, or a particularly rigorous game of chess can also make people aggressive and violent.
...The aggression they define in their study is a short-term increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and aggressive or competitive thoughts and actions. A reaction familiar to anyone who's ever played a competitive sport. It's also a familiar physiological response for anyone who's ever seen a photo of a snake or dangerous predator; it's a typical arousal response enhanced by competitive stimuli and excitement as indicated by any number of empirical studies on human autonomic responses. Music, films, TV, even books can elicit such a response from an average individual.
And given that violent video games are more popular and common than ever you'd expect to see this reflected in an increase in actual violence right? Well actually not.
Over the past ten years homicide rates in the US, Japan and UK have declined significantly. Additionally, in 2012 the United States had 14.8 homicides per hundred thousand people, while Japan and the UK had .4 and 1.2 respectively. The raw numbers are more shocking but the proportional estimates are a bit more illustrative: the three largest consumers of violent visual media have some of the lowest homicide rates in the world.
Of course the crazies are often drawn to violent video games but then they're crazy - their brains take in the same inputs as normal people yet produce crazy thoughts. The problem isn't with the inputs.
Chuck Shumer's Devious Trap for Gun Owners
Oh he's not banning guns in the latest version of his bill, S. 374, "Protecting Responsible Gun Sellers Act of 2013," no siree no. He's just laying out a minefield of potential gun offenses to make it nearly impossible to own a gun and NOT inadvertently commit a 5-year-pound-me-in-the ass felony.
Here's a partial list of new offenses:
- If you leave home for more than 7 days and leave anyone at home, that becomes a felony illegal transfer. 5 years in prison for each of you.
- If you take a friend shooting and allow him to fire your gun, that is a felony illegal transfer. 5 years in prison for each of you.
- If you have a gun lost or stolen and don't report it within 24 hours, you've committed a felony. 5 years in prison.
- If you lend a gun to someone for to try out at the range, provide a loaner for a student in training, let your son shoot a rifle you purchased while hunting, or provide a gun to a woman for self-defense, you've committed a felony. 5 years in prison for each of you.
Expect states and cities to jump on this bandwagon as well.
PJ O'Rourke On Maps of America
The maps he's referring to are here. And yes this is internet archaeology i.e. more than 3 years old.
Maybe the real secret to America's greatness is that we hate one another. Consider the enmity between unions in the smokestack industries and lovers of the Kyoto Protocol, between feminists and sexually predatory chief executives, between Hispanics and blacks, between blacks and Jews. Put them together and you get the power of the Democratic Party. Likewise with Republicans. Their might is dependent on alliances of mutual distaste: country cousin and country club, white collar and white trash, Rotary and Davos, Neanderthal know-nothings and neocon know-it-alls, fans of Pat Robertson and fans of Pat Buchanan.
The maps may not show the cause of crime, but they do show the cause of poverty: obviously, it's the equitable distribution of wealth. A low incidence of poverty is seen in places where the ratio of households with a $10,000 annual income to households with a $100,000 annual income is 1:4 or less. Of course, there may be no households with a $10,000 annual income in those places. One way to get rid of poverty is to price the poor out of the neighborhood. Wealth is very evenly distributed in areas where there isn't any. These aren't necessarily the expected areas. Residents of the northern Plains states, thought to be rugged, turn out to be ragged. The struggling Rust Belt has little poverty and extensive concentrations of wealth. The booming Sun Belt and the vibrant Southwest encompass the majority of America's poor counties. The liberal Northeast (where poverty is blamed for bad behavior) and the conservative heartland (where bad behavior is blamed for poverty) have one thing in common: not too many poor.
Day of the Dolphin 2013 Edition
"The Ukrainian Navy has a small problem on their hands. The Atlantic reports that, after rebooting the Soviet Union's marine mammal program last year with the goal of teaching dolphins to find underwater mines and kill enemy divers, three of the Ukrainian military's new recruits have gone AWOL. Apparently they swam away from their trainers ostensibly in search of a 'mate' out in open waters. It might not be such a big deal except that these dolphins have been trained to 'attack enemy combat swimmers using special knives or pistols fixed to their heads.' Dolphins were trained at Sevastopol for the Soviet Navy as far back as 1973 to find military equipment such as sea mines on the seabed as well as attacking divers and even carrying explosives on their heads to plant on enemy ships. The U.S. has its own dolphin program in San Diego with 40 trained dolphins and sea lions and another 50 in training. U.S. Navy dolphins were deployed in Bahrain in 1987 during a period when Iran was laying down mines in the Persian Gulf to disrupt oil shipments. No word yet on whether 'sharks with frickin' laser beams attached' have been added to the U.S. arsenal."
So watch your cornholes.
The Maetenloch Clone Army That's Who
Thanks to the latest work in somatic nuclear transfer my clone army is getting nearer by the day. Soon my pretties soon!!
But scientists in Japan announced yesterday they have succeeded in cloning mice using the same technique that created Dolly with more or less perfect results: The mice are healthy, they live just as long as regular mice, and they've been flawlessly cloned and recloned from the same source to the 25th generation. Researchers claim it's the first example of seamless, repeat cloning using the Dolly method-known as "somatic cell nuclear transfer" (SCNT)-in which the nucleus from an adult source animal is transferred to an egg with its nucleus removed. Until recently, the process was fraught with failures and mutations. But the team led by Teruhiko Wakayama, whose results were published today in the journal Cell Stem Cell, was able to create 581 clones from the same original mouse. Scientists, including Dolly's creator, have long felt the process was still too unstable-and too wasteful of precious eggs, given the failure rate-to be used on humans any time soon. But perhaps it's not so far off, after all.
Meanwhile in Russia: The Punisher
Everyone complains about bad drivers but in Russia 'The Punisher' is doing something about it.
Meet Alexei "The Punisher" Volkov, a Russian bus driver who has become a local celebrity in the city of Zelenograd for ramming rude drivers who cut him off in traffic. Equipped with a dashboard camera, Volkov says he wants to gradually improve people's driving etiquette by documenting each collision and posting the footage online. Volkov claims his employer approves of his actions, as the bus typically only receives minor damages from the impacts.
Swingers Club Group Sex Record Attempt Ends in Fire, Tears
Filthy scandis just can't handle their fire and group sex.
"I feel empty inside," one of the hostesses from Club Adam & Eva told The Local.
"There are no words to describe the loss. It's unreal."A swingers' club in eastern Sweden has been forced to abandon its attempt to set a new Swedish record after a fire destroyed the building that housed the "erotic oasis".
...More than 200 people had signed up to partake in the festivities, which were to feature a 30 square-metre bed and an attempt to set the Swedish record for "group sex", the Nyheter24 news website reported.
"I'm going to miss the cellar and all the great people you meet down there," wrote one member.
"I hope for a huge pile [of people]. That would be cool to see," the head of the club told Nyheter24 last week.

What does everyone know about the area around Sugarland, TX? I was already considering moving to TX in general and now it looks like my sister and her husband may be moving to the suburbs of Houston.
I'm looking for semi-rural. An acre or two 15 minutes from a Wal-mart and an hour or so from "big city" would be perfect.

I got 10 weeks to figure out what to do. Troublesome because there was a 3 year renewal option on the contract and the wife and I just bought a house in August and now she's facing furlough's from the Sequester. (She's kinda essential personnel though so we may get a bye on that one.)
Tough times tough times.
Made worse by the fact that going through some shit last year I delayed taking my comprehensive exams so now I'm far behind in the degree process.

Heh the positions going to be refilled.
Review boards are hard dollars (because of all the Pharma Money.)
Seriously I think they had know idea what to do with someone who knew both the regulations and the theory behind the regulations, which meant I was remarkably good at determining where things were apt to go wrong (because they followed the letter of the law rather than the actual intent.)
I was told I asked "why" to much (seriously) which apparently is a liability when you're busy trying to get studies approved.
They wanted more of a "worker bee" who was capable of shuffling paperwork or something with I guess minimal understanding of the actual importance of the paperwork. (quote are actually things they said to me.)
They hired a PHD student in Health Care Ethics, did they not expect to get someone like me?!
(Strangest part was when they said they wanted to use me to increase communication between the review board and the health care ethics department, and then never did that and seem flustered when I'd pick my professors brains for problems I was having with my work.)

Oh agreed. They totally want to imply he's going to be a liberation theologian, playing up his "social justice" cred.
But my understanding is his social justice cred is more of the "be a better person" type of social justice. Not the "government will fix it." type.

I confess I'm likely more of a victim of knowing to much theory.
So when they'd ask for something I was able to kick out a proposal, explanation and justification. But they really just wanted examples from other institutions review boards.
Oh wellz, they'll get their "worker bee." But I'd be wary of the output from someone with no understanding of research ethics.

Ok, the swinger article is just full of awkward phrasing.
"I feel empty inside," one of the hostesses from Club Adam & Eva told The Local.
Luckily she quickly resolved that problem with the help of three nearby gentlemen and a goat.
"My husband and I had planned on heading there this weekend for some nice sex with other couples. But that plan went belly up," wrote another.
As opposed to the plan going "belly down, ass up" which would have meant success.
The hostess, who has worked at the club for four years and is one of about a dozen or so who help the club operate, said the club and it's members were "like a family".
A family where the members have sex with each other.

Thanks Coothy. Was looking on homes. com while on the phone with my sister (she was on the same site at her home in CA, isn't technology cool?) but trulia sounds like it may have a better search ability. I noticed there are *a lot* of houses available so am hopeful of finding something.

One other thing particularly of note -- it has the assessed value and annual taxes for most properties. If the property is assessed for $100K, and is on the market for $200K, and the taxes last year were $2500....look out! 'Cause taxes after you buy it will be $5K.

I heard that freezing kale will take away the bitterness. Freeze it then thaw it out and use like usual.
I'll have to try that the next time I go shopping. The store nearby is hit or miss with veggies, but when they get a good crop in I'd like to buy more than one or two day's worth.

One small bright spot, of the 62 counties in New York, 47 were in oppostion to gunner Cuomo's safe act at last count.
Virtually all the Sheriffs associations were also opposed.
It would be so great if this bullshit could be finally resolved in OUR favor.
Maybe this IS the time--warm weather is coming so the demonstrations will be easier to get going.

His parents immigrated from Italy to Argentina during the time of Il Duce and no jobs in Italy.
WWII is pretty much blank to him personally. But he grew up in the time of Peron and the Nazi influx to Argentina. Also the collapse of the country because of the excesses of the Perons and how it impacted the average person.
He was elevated to wearing the regalia of a Cardinal by Pope John Paul II.
So just from that, the chances of him being a neo-Marxist card carrying liberation theologian like Pfleger are slim.

I am on board with that – a victim of a crime will be deemed a criminal and punished for not reporting the crime WITHIN 24 hours.
5 years seems fair for not reporting the theft of an item worth about five years for stealing it (based upon dollar value, IANAL).
Used to be rape was a capital offense, maybe life now, why not up to life in prison for not reporting being the victim of rape and not reporting within 24 hours? Good luck on your defense if a third party or the perp turn stateÂ’s witness against you.
I would have liked to ramp up the analogies, but cut to the chase –
Amend with a pill to require all victims of any crime to report within 24 hours or be subject to the same penalty in Federal Court as the perpetrator would in any jurisdiction.

This isn't as weird as it might look.
The point here is that where we can first start thinking of time, there is God and there is the elemental chaos, envisioned as water. God by nature is immediately separated from chaos; and then perceives chaos as "water" and "down": Genesis 1:2, "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". [Genesis 1:1 is the book's subtitle, not a verse.]
God then sorts out the chaos into earth and the heavens. On the seventh day, we have Genesis 2:2, "and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made". This is probably the King-James translators' misunderstanding of the Near Eastern theme of God assuming His seat on the Throne. It doesn't mean that God is taking a weekly nap! [Walton, "The Lost World of Genesis One"]
It's later pointed out in Psalm 104 that God is He "Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters". The Throne, then, is over these "waters"... This is further elaborated in 2 Enoch 27, that God has fused the elemental water-like chaos over Earth into a glassy substance, to keep the Crystal Spheres from bleeding into one another.
tl;dr. So, when John is seeing the Throne as being on "a sea of glass", he is actually observing the glass over the tohu wa-bohu. But he didn't quite know what he was looking at.
Which means he probably did see it.

Almost all of these panics and scares to explain "juvenile delinquency" were just means to shout "SQUIRREL!". The real reason for "delinquency", now called "a pack of daring teens" etc, was because the Federal government had made it impossible for local governments to enforce the law.

Never, ever copy and paste something directly from Word into HQ comment boxes. Always change it into plain text first by cutting and pasting it into the MS "Notepad" and then copying it from there into the comment box.

The modern left is typified by moral relativism. They rightly fear any clear delineation between "right" and "wrong". Everything has to be situational, or it'd be wrong to impose your views over your inferiors', evil to starve the kulaks, or bad to command the intellectuals to go starve in the farms.

337 The National Registry won't be used to disarm criminals. It'll be used mainly for "precrime" - people who've checked in at the shrink, or people who've got restraining orders.
---------
Oh, it will be used for more than that...
You'll be required to apply for a 'Federal License' to own the guns you already have.
The form will require you to list all the guns in your home.
Then, if they don't like the cut of your jib...it's "License Denied!"
And they have a list of all the guns to look for when they knock on your door.
There was a bill in the House that outlined this, back in 2009...Bobby Rush's HB 245.
It was one of the things that the Tea Party was incensed about.
So they already have a nice outline to follow.
Oh, and it had a 10 year prison term, as punishment for not having a Federal License for any of the guns in your home.

If libs don't like the Catholic rules they don't have to join the church. Is that so difficult?
As far as those who want the rules to change--join some other church, the Episcopalians have women priests--or start your own religion.
You never hear the pundits complain that Islam doesn't have female mullahs. Why do they obsess about the Catholic church?

What I'm getting at is if you don't like your religion--if you want it to change in significant ways--then you don't like your religion. Why remain? Changeable dogmas and rules mean you can't believe anything finally because the dogma isn't immutable. Kind of undermines the very notion of organized religion. Religion isn't a democracy, certainly not a religion that has an infallible leader. Why would a liberal cling to such an organization in the first place?
In the 19th Century new Christian sects sprang up in America. So why don't these dissatisfied lib nuns break away and found their own sect? They could retain all the outward trappings and rituals and charity and whatnot and eliminate all those practices and dogmas they don't feel comfortable with.

----------------------------
The problem is that the "practices and dogmas that they don't feel comfortable with" are much of the reason for having a church in the first place. Otherwise it's just a feel-good social club. And there are plenty of those already. Studies have shown that churches that *gasp* actually try and push their members toward following strict rules tend to have stronger and more active membership.
Paying a pastor to tell you that everything's good and you don't need to do anything that you aren't already doing sounds like a neat idea. But apparently it tends to get boring pretty quick.

@504 Were any of those cops women? If so, we need a Violence Against Women Cops Act.
We also need to register all bricks.

We get these scares all the time in south FL. Maybe its time to take a second look at DDT now that all of Rachel Carson's bullshit has been debunked and proven to be bullshit.

Posted by: Mirage at March 14, 2013 02:10 AM (vrYbQ)
To tell the absolute truth....I put a replacement tank on last night, and it worked fine but it leaked at the fill connection -- and I blew it off all day 'cause I wanted to play. It probably takes two applications of a crescent wrench to fix, but I didn't.

I got a tiny CNC to play with so I could learn. I've got a slightly larger manual mill for more learning (especially if I CNC it). If I get something bigger, it's likely to be in a more manufacturing-friendly location.
I can hardly believe that CA is so screwed you can't buy paint thinner. But it's true.

My comment to Schumer through is Senate contact form. He supposedly represents me. This is unaltered and unedited as I. Just. Don't. Give. A. Shit. An. Ee. More.
------
(I find it funny that you don't have gun grabbing as a choice under 'Topics'. Oh and the 'Taxes/Budget' choice is hilarious, considering you Jackass Party Senate fucks haven't passed a budget in over 1,400 days and counting; CR's are not a budget.)
(link to a Bob Owens article.)
Hey, Bride of Chuckie Schumer, you commie gun grabbing prick. I see you continue to violate your oath of office to uphold the Constitution by trying to rip the Constitution to shreds (like your Lard and Sewage, Barack Insane Owebama, hates and destroys our Constitution). A hearty fuck you as you are like the other Jackass Party pols: A lying piece of shit.
You want to make law-abiding Americans criminals (when you can't be bothered go after illegal aliens who are criminals just by being illegal)? Go ahead. But remember Jefferson's views on the 2nd Amendment: “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
Just to give you a definition of tyranny, motherfucker, here's my dime (adjusted for Owebama inflation): Not answering constituents' questions is tyranny. Not reading bills before voting on them is tyranny. Making law based upon emotion is tyranny.
Yep, time for commie pricks like yourself to pay the penalty for being such tyrannical busybodies. That's also why you want our guns, for totalitarian control; you can't control an armed populace. (I know you don't know dick about history, or even the Holocaust [as you're a JINO, a Jew In Name Only], but it was gun confiscation that abetted the Holocaust. There's nothing the leftist fucks [and Hitler was a leftist fuck] hate worse is a Jew with a gun.) There are too many historical examples (yeah, I know, icky History) showing where gun registration has led to confiscation has led to genocide. Have you taken a look at South Africa's current genocide against whites, after the marxist African National Congress government grabbed guns? Nah, didn't think so. I can only hope that America takes Jefferson's thoughts on the 2nd Amendment to heart, and instills some fear in our Government 'employees'. (You do remember you work for us, right? Not the other way around?) I also fervently hope that if you commies continue to push gun grabbing, making the law abiding criminal, that they turn over their firearms to proggie fucks like yourself -- BULLET FIRST. (Is this why the government has been buying millions upon millions of rounds, to prevent us from taking care of business? Or is it merely self-preservation?)
No gun grabbing without Representation! (And you sure as hell don't represent me.)
Now let's see if you, one of our modern political mandarins, will deign to reply to one of the hoi polloi that you allegedly represent and explain yourself. I doubt it, you being entrenched in the Ivory Tower that is Capitol Hill. Oh, and did I say FUCK YOU? Just want to make sure that message is not lost.

My senator is Ted Cruz. For the first time in my life I wrote to a politician and expressed my total support. I hope he keeps raising hell and I will support him bitch slapping the old guard.
Go Ted.

"Schumer isn't a pig or a dick. He's a sociopathic, totalitarian sack of shit.
Dead serious, politician directly attacks the Constitution, life in prison. A cold, dark prison. With rats for food.
I am about two lifetimes past sick of that shit."
