I wish this clip included the original scene where Larry delivers the line that so upsets Wanda Sykes, heh. Anyway... is the "assman" reference to "Seinfeld" a little too precious and self-indulgent to really work here?

You know i see this crap... And I think helium is such a precious resource and we waste like a bunch of animals.

Precious...

Uhhh, all you folks are wrong about what kind of damage (if any) this guy's 'electric motor' RC plane could do to one of those turbines, even if it became lodged in the hub of one of those monsters. If the blade would have hit his toy, it would have been completely trashed with little or no damage to the precious turbine-Who says he was trespassing anyhoo?

What was a better option? I can't think of a way in those precious few seconds he could have made the guy avoid colliding with the overturned car that he definitely could not see.

You both watched a Yahtzee review and expected him to do something other then shit all over your precious game?

Ok, I sat through the mostly flat increase in funding (against a backdrop of exponential inflation, meaning a real world decrease in funding) and thought, is this going somewhere?

Then I thought... ok, how many more comedy scare tactics are they going to use.

Then... then I got to 'Floride is the main ingredient in sarin nerve gas'. Yeah. I'm done.

You know what else is in Sarin gas? Carbon! We must cleanse our bodies of carbon, to protect our precious bodily fluids!

That is what training is about. If you listen black box recordings of planes that are few seconds from certain crash and most likely death of the pilots, they are like the receptionist from a hotel lobby. "here's you room key and complementary..." "check the flaps, turn the fuel injection off.. " silence. It's the most precious physical quality in the cockpit as the more calm you are, the better judgements you make. Also when you are following that kind of routine, the desperation doesn't incapacitate you. The downside is that they rarely get to send their farewells to family, that's not in the checklist.

Have to send congrats to this pilot, he acts exactly like one should. It's really admirable.

Dragons WERE real. We don't have fossil evidence because dragon bone was a precious resource used to make legendary weapons and armor.

Now I wish I'd bet you something more...I had no idea you would be so generous. I will cherish my precious shillings. I love being right.

Are you going to post anymore today? I won't be logging in again until tomorrow, so if I don't come by to watch them, that is why.

Salutations, precious Galaxy meatbag @ant.

At present there exists no other means than *backup to add an alternate embed code to a post. Perhaps the meatbags pulling my strings will take your query as instruction to implement such functionality post-haste.

Is the other driver really a jerk for parking perfectly centered inside the lines? Or is everyone else supposed to bend over and take it when some dipshit decides he's more important than everyone else?

In the case of an intentionally bad parker with complete disregard for everyone else, yes, parking properly will help show him that he has to play by the same rules as everyone else.

The other driver would have been a jerk if he came in early the next day and parked across two spaces.

To protect his precious car, all that ass has to do is park closer to the curb, leaving a huge gap on the side of the adjacent space.

Awww bully? poor @renatojj Unable to make good arguments so in an act of desperation plays the victimhood card. Boo hoo hoo...the gun lobby has a stranglehold on our gov't but we're being victimized and oppressed!! If only there was some way for you to...opt out which would end all of this. Freedom is a bitch isn't it?

Nothing cryptic about the relationship between freedom and responsibility. I'm the one who introduced the concept in this argument after all. That's not my complaint dummy. Responsibility is not the same as freedom. You're claiming (once again without anything to back it up) that freedom and responsibility are the same and that if you lower one, you lower the other. I'd ask you to back it up again, but you won't.

If you steal a gun, sure not having a permit doesn't stop you from using it, but you're in danger of losing those precious freedoms you seem to hold so dear. Again, you're changing the argument.

You like to use these loaded terms like freedom. How are you measuring freedom? Is it an objective measurement? Are there SI units for freedom? does a upstanding citizen have say..23 KWas (kilo-Washingtons) but maybe a convicted meth dealer only has 420 mWas? (milli-Washingtons) You seem to be the arbiter of what is freedom and what isn't so please, share with us your math!

Coercion??!! Again, you're using this loaded language to emotionally manipulate us. I think George Carlin called it "Spooky Language!" Which laws are coercion and which ones aren't? How can you tell? When I obey traffic laws, am I being coerced? When I decide to not kill someone with a gun because the law says it's bad, is that coercion too??? Your two examples you give are really bad. There is no difference between the two except for loaded language. One example has positive language, the other one negative. If only there was some objective measure other than your truthiness.

To your last point, but I already answered this in my previous post, by that logic, we shouldn't have ANY laws and thus we would become SUPER-Responsible!! It's a nice theory and all, but the reality is that life would degenerate into mob rule. How many other people have to pay for your "mistakes" before you learn your lesson? How much suffering and anguish does it take to "learn your lesson?" Sorry. I think you're not a student of history otherwise you'd know that this has already been tried in the past...the distant past. It doesn't work...that's why we have laws in the first place. The jury is in on this one. People generally like it that we have laws and an enforcement arm that attempts to stop the infringement of peoples' rights *before* it happens so that people don't have to "learn their lesson" at the expense of someone else's suffering.

You're a selfish sociopathic dick if you think otherwise.

It's all fun and games until someone infringes on *your* rights then suddenly, your stance changes. Or are you volunteering yourself to have a criminal come in and kill you and your loved ones. But hey, its ok. Freedom will teach the criminal a lesson...so it's all cool!!

Either you didn't already know this or you're just living up to your avatar pic. I'm starting to think it's the latter.

You lot are so precious about the strangest things. Punishment for killing or injuring someone whilst drunk means NOTHING to the killed person and almost as little to the injured person. The increase in distracted driver syndrome is due to the increase in distractions not a decrease in drink driving. Safety issues like this are prime examples of where heavy handedness and public display of such is most effective. Fuck these a-holes. Rights such as freedom etc are not inalienable. In Australia if you refuse you are charged as if you were over the legal limit. No ifs, ands or buts. Driving 2 tonnes of metal around at 60-100 kph is not an inherent right of man but a responsibility to be taken seriously.
