Real Time: Oh noes, Obama World is nigh!

CaptainPlanet420 says...

>> ^MaxWilder:
I'd love to see that paper providing evidence of the deaths of 56,000,000 people.
Last I heard, a gun in the house was far more likely to kill a friend or family member than prevent a crime. I support the ownership of inanimate objects in general, but not when it makes stupid people so much deadlier.
And are you seriously trying to tell me that an assault rifle would be an appropriate weapon of choice to fight off an intruder? Perhaps if you saw the intruder approaching at 50 yards, but otherwise? I'd much rather have a revolver or shotgun.
To sum up my opinion: When accidental deaths by personal firearms is minimized, theft of legally purchased firearms is minimized, and crimes committed using legally purchased firearms is minimized, then I would be in favor of relaxing gun control laws. Until that point, making guns easier to obtain would do nothing but increase those three statistics, which is absurd.


Ya I'm sure lots of people who legally purchase firearms proceed to go out and commit a crime. Just admit you don't own a gun, have no experience with them, and will never have any in the future. Minimize this, minimize that = bogus logic.

Machine Gun Camp for Kids

From http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-campaign

Are you shocked yet? Relax, the camp is fake, but the campaign is real.

Last week YouTube popped up a new video for Camp Okutta, a children’s adventure camp just outside of Toronto. It opens with a promising young camp counselor, with a group of scared kids…

The counselor throws a stone onto a patch of grass. Nothing happens. He throws another. A mine explodes. The video is scary, at first you think it could be a real camp.

Fortunately, the camp does not exist.

Canoe.ca says “A Canadian charity is hoping to bring home the plight of war-affected children with a provocative new campaign that asks Canadians to picture their own children shooting AK-47s and walking across minefields.”

At the end, the video directs viewers to the camp’s website, which goes into more detail about what campers will experience. Children who are homesick or afraid are fed amphetamines and a “rudimentary mixture of cocaine and gunpowder.” On good days, they eat plain rice or scraps of food left behind by the camp’s leaders.

The campaign is meant to draw attention to the estimated 250,000 child soldiers worldwide, War Child Canada founder Samantha Nutt said. “What we were trying to do was to really bring the issue home to North Americans in a new and creative way that would ask the question, ‘If this was a Canadian context and these were Canadian kids, what would our reaction be?”’ she said.

“We accept it as part of life in other parts of the world, and yet it is totally abhorrent and totally unacceptable.”

Nutt described the YouTube video and Camp Okutta website as “100 per cent based in reality,” from the images of children detonating mines, to the use of AK-47s, which are considered the weapon of choice for child soldiers because “they’re lightweight and so easy to use,” she said.

After the first night the video had 5,000 viewers and is since up to over 20,000. Shows you just how well viral marketing works these days.

Lawrence Lessig short interview on Corruption

kulpims says...

so true - it's so clear it's in corporations and their VIPs interest to impede development on these crucial issues and that politics is their weapon of choice when they have to buy some time because people saw them for what they really are - greedy bastards who thrive on sweat and suffering of the silent majority
democracy as we know it just doesn't work
it's time for a revolution
lets all go smoke some weed now...

Canadian Police Taser Man To Death

gargoyle says...

This poor man was wandering around the secure area of the airport for 10 hours, and no one, no one, asked if something was wrong or if they could help. Where did basic humanity go?
CBC today did a piece on the RCMP being the worst trained police force in Canada, and included comments about the physical size of officers getting smaller, which makes tasers an attractive weapon of choice.
