Does no one know how to raise a responsible human being with a conscience at this point?


Not without black magic or voodoo.

Well, it's a liberal-run city in a liberal-run state.
The important thing is that no one anywhere had a gun, thus ensuring the safety of everyone!
Well, almost everyone.


But it was in a high school with Latinos, QM. I'm almost certain all 12 of those innocent bystanders were packin'.

Genovese Syndrome

Actually, in the just-published Superfreakonomics, they look at the Kitty Genovese case, and discover that there are a great many misperceptions, not the least of which is that people DID call the police. The first attack, a stabbing, happened out in the open, but due to the poor lighting, it seemed to be little more than a domestic dispute, and when he was challenged by a bystander, the attacker seemed to flee the scene. Genovese staggered into an enclosed area, while her attacker moved his car to get it out of sight. He then returned, and proceeded to rape and kill her with zero witnesses. The point of the chapter, I suppose, is that a great deal of scholarship relies upon the version of events first reported in the New York Times (that there were three separate attacks with over a dozen witnesses) that were later refuted by police.


Pretty interesting. I'd like to think that I'd be the one to call 911 if I was ever a witness to such an event, even before I was aware of the Genovese Case. I just think I would consider the notion that with a crowd of witnesses, most will think that someone else has already taken care of the problem.

Haha...in Richmond? There are more guns in Richmond than in Texas. I'm sure quite a few gathered had guns. That goes to explain fear in helping the girl, but not the failure to call the cops.

I just tried

Zero Punctuation - Dead Space
Zero Punctuation Review - Silent Hill Homecoming
Zero Punctuation Review - Fable 2

Here on Videosift - all failed to load (same problem)
should these also be marked dead?

Dead links are are for videos no longer working - I would replace it - but no one links these - it should calm down in a few hours but until then any ZP video I try - some work - some don't

Has anyone else had any problems with the video here?

ALL ZERO PUNCTUATION Videos are stalling... high traffic, does not qualify as dead!

Actually, you're wrong. Other ones do work. This one and last weeks don't. Go read the thread. P.S. - you yourself stated that the one from last week did not sift. So because NO ONE can see this, it's *dead. Don't cry because you can't suck up the votes with it.

It's a dead embed and you damn well know it.


The reviews for:
Dead space
Saint's Row 2
Silent Hill homecoming
Stalker
Force unleashed
Mercenaries
Double Bill

All work just fine. This one does not. It's dead.

Check the others if you want.

fuck the NFL

I hate watching TV, only when I leave it on to drown out the noise of my wife playing world of warcraft... or worse silent hill homecoming. I still wear earplugs too!

Never take my threats seriously. I've killed people for doing that.

And welcome back. I was going to throw you a homecoming parade, but lucky beat me to it. I missed out mainly because I've been been occupied with pressing, depressing matters. However I'm hanging in there, and I hope you're doing the same.

Hey Doodly! Nice to see you're not taking that break you threatened.

Well that's what happens when I put the whole title in right away...

No, I'm sorry Zifnab, the correct response was 'timeliness'. Timeliness.

So what do we have for Zifnab by way of a parting gift?

tee hee!
