fearmongering in schools about the internet and safety just make people so worried about the internet
By extension, I think it's also bad because when people will treat it as a blanket statement, when they do consider the internet safe to use, they will consider most or all of it safe to use with the same blanket mentality, putting them at risk for viruses.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but I've worked with people on this, where I tell them a certain website is safe to use, and they get a virus a week later because they thought that that website was safe by some misconstrued idea.

I think I maybe got viruses that I could count on two hands and never did anything serious, yet people seem to end up with a wrecked computer so easily.

Leave a cell phone in your pocket recording the audio.

Then show it to the administration.

Multiple witnesses to back it up would also be good.

Badspot changed it after some accounts got hijacked

Neat, though.  Glad it's somewhat safer now, though.  Does this cause any problems with guests connecting to the forum?

Sweet release the thread was locked again

I can finally drop my newfound lord Tony obsession and move on with my life
Based on his posts, this is not contained.  He's overtly mentioned it in other threads.  Unless Badspot is putting in BOS measures, we haven't seen the end of it.

If you want to draw in the whole spacetime and universe bullstuff, picture this:

Your impact on the universe is minimal, almost infinitesimally small.  Therefore, in reverse, of all that goes on in the universe, the scale of what happens within it does not concern you to any level to even bother.  Within the frame of reference of the universe, it doesn't matter.  However, within the frame of reference of a mortal life, what things the universe would consider negligible can be considered critical within the frame of reference of this mortal life.

So why concern yourself with the universe?  It should only matter to you by how much impact you can have on it, which is virtually nothing.

If you get shot and killed, the universe carries on without consequence.  If half of the human race is wiped out by a super disease, the universe carries on without consequence.  If an entire galaxy far away were to suddenly vanish, the universe would carry on without consequence.  This leads me to conclude that you spout fallacious bullstuff for your own personal moral convenience, since your relationship with the universe cannot be mutual to any considerable degree.

However, if you are shot and killed within this mortal life, you are the most affected, then those unfortunate enough to care for you, then those who are acquainted with you, and then those who don't know you and just know that some man died.  If your parents were both killed 20 years ago, your mortal life now would be vastly different.  The universe would not.  So stop talking about the universe, because it doesn't concern us.  What you are doing is similar in nature to totaling someone's car, but rather than sorting it out, you immediately walk a thousand miles away to pinpoint a specific highly desired anthill determined at the point of the car wreck, and then proceed to eat the ants out of the anthill because you considered your nutrition when you got in the car wreck was vastly more important than dealing with a car wreck that you caused.  In reality, the anthill wouldn't mean stuff to anyone but yourself.  Eating some ants would not contribute to your nutritional needs in comparison to the lengths that you go to in order to avoid the larger problem.  They just see that some starfish is determined to cater to their insignificant and fictitious problems which happen to be convenient for you since it dodges the responsibility of loving someone's life up or significantly setting them back.

And you know what?  No matter what you say about the universe, I'm sure it's just a convenient device to have no moral obligations toward others.  It's to your benefit that you continue to believe it, and it's where it enters the subjective frame of mind.  It's no "objective universe", Tony.  Everyone has their subjective mindset just like you.  And you seem very keen on protecting it.  But guess what?  It may come as a surprise that everyone wants to protect their subjective mindset.  If you really value the universe and what it thinks about everyone, it treats everyone equally.  Why it seems to me that you think that you're a special exception is beyond me.

I know you crave attention.  I don't care if you get the best climax of your loving life to this thrilling ride of attention you'll get in this post.  It's pointless if you try to argue, because any resistance would be reinforcing the claim that your petty excuses are a means of convenience.

That was actually my friend's model congress bill this year. It required a plaintiff, upon failure to sue (or if they lose a court battle) to pay all legal fees. However, even this might be abused.

The whole problem is that the legal system is an overcomplicated (because it is), slow, messy, bureaucratic pool of liquefied horsestuff that only big companies (money and workforce) can navigate.
Couldn't agree more.  Although I don't exactly see how that would be abused.  Even if someone did provoke a corporation into suing, normal people don't often have the means to properly hide the evidence.

If you seized control of a tyrannical government and changed laws in favor of the people, it'd be best to first choose laws based on representatives of each major region, then when things are more stable you should allow the people to vote which laws they believe should or should not be in place and they're put in place by popular vote within regions
That's the idea, yeah.

At least in my take of America, everyone doesn't have equal protection and rights under the law.  That is something that should always be pursued to its upmost.

Something that I would advocate is to require plaintiffs that repeatedly sue on false allegations in order to make the defendant go broke in trying to pay legal fees to actually pay the legal fees themselves.  If they continue this behavior, they incur a fine.  It's an abuse of the legal system to force someone into bankruptcy.

Wait a few days and then call them back.  It looks good and shows your interest in the position.

I'm usually one to like second chances, but he's had that.  He's had that many times over.  Clearly he's only here to get off on trolling the community.
