First, it's now even worse in Firefox (still posting in IE now). Now when viewing any page in Firefox, the entire top of the page - logo, menu bar, etc. - is missing, making it basically impossible to navigate. For all intents and purposes, the site is practically non-functional in Firefox. I don't want to post a screen shot that shows some of my browser's personalized stuff, but suffice it to say that when viewing a page with the text writing box, the entire top of the page above the forum title simply has the following code: 0) { if (tag.substring(0,1) != "/") { cursorPosition.text = "[" + tag + "]" + cursorPosition.text + "[/" + tag + "]"; } } else { cursorPosition.text = cursorPosition.text.charAt(cursorPosition.text.length - 1) == ' ' ? '[' + tag + '] ' : "[" + tag + "]"; } } else if (document.post.post_message.selectionStart || document.post.post_message.selectionStart == '0') { var startPos = document.post.post_message.selectionStart; var endPos = document.post.post_message.selectionEnd; if (endPos> startPos) { if (tag.substring(0,1) != "/") { document.post.post_message.value = document.post.post_message.value.substring(0, startPos) + "[" + tag + "]" + document.post.post_message.value.substring(startPos, endPos) + "[/" + tag + "]" + document.post.post_message.value.substring(endPos, document.post.post_message.value.length); document.post.post_message.focus(); document.post.post_message.selectionStart = startPos; document.post.post_message.selectionEnd = endPos + 2*tag.length + 5; } } else { document.post.post_message.value = document.post.post_message.value.substring(0, startPos) + "[" + tag + "]" + document.post.post_message.value.substring(endPos, document.post.post_message.value.length); document.post.post_message.focus(); document.post.post_message.selectionStart = startPos + tag.length + 2; document.post.post_message.selectionEnd = startPos + tag.length + 2; } } else { document.post.post_message.value += "[" + tag + "]"; } document.post.post_message.focus(); return; } function checkText(text) { if (text.createTextRange) text.cursorPosition = document.selection.createRange().duplicate(); return true; } // -->

Are you as much of a tough guy in real life as your Keyboard Kommando alter-ego is here on DZ.com? If so, are you like a 13th degree blackbelt super ninja or something? Or how many of your own teeth have you left on barroom floors? Your chronically abusive tough-guy act on here is getting pretty fucking old. Nobody's impressed. I suppose you think I can just take my opinion and go fuck myself. Well, right back atcha.

...at all, whether clicking "reply" or "quote" to respond to a post. Once in the text panel, the top panel on the page with menu bar, logo, etc, is replaced with "code" gobbledygook. Also, all of the buttons under the text panel are inoperative - Reply, Quote, Post Message, whatever. I had to switch over to IE (which I hate) to post this. So are you guys having fun yet?

And there are skydiving instructors who willingly work for Skyride, too. Ethically, it's a reasonable comparison, IMO.

Maybe the Poster should use an argument instead of screaming "MORE GUNS" in any given situation. Well, I'm the last one who I think even he wants coming to his defense; but I will say that, despite his abbreviated choice of words, I had no difficulty understanding the full import of what he meant. Then you don't understand the value of the Second Amendment, and therefore you're only half correct. One value of the Second Amendment is having enough weapons in the hands of otherwise peaceful, law abiding citizens that government and its agents will think twice before using its superior firepower to impose tyranny on the common citizenry. It's also a means to allow the common citizenry to supplement the formal police and have a physical part in their own defense against criminals, since there are so many armed criminals, and the police can't be everywhere. IMO, those are not imaginary freedoms, they are real ones. But, like most things, it does come at a price; and this is where you're partially correct. The price Americans have paid for this is, in part, the high number of gun deaths there are. Life is all about compromises, and this is one of them. In the US, at least, the policy debate in mainly over where to draw the line to balance the competing interests as best as possible.

Please explain how a gun would have in any imaginable way led to better outcome in these incidents. Actually, I think he was making a more global, non- incident-specific comment, about the value and effect of the Second Amendment. Assuming the usual vitriol & sloganeering can stay out of the debate (which I doubt), I'd like to see how the debate plays out.

I could do 5 minutes of standup from a straight line like that.

sock & sock, then shoe & shoe. now do it that way for the rest of your life.

THIS never woulda done that.

Which one of me?

How many of you are there?

Hey -- I speak Spanish Wendy P. I thought you spoke like a brazillian languages.

Yeah, my first vote's with this one. We'll see.

You know, just because the Brits who were here 250 years ago shouted "Dibs!" doesn't make it the case forever. And they weren't even the first ones here, were they? As ye usurp, so shall ye be usurped, in the fullness of time.

? Hmmmm..

Right. George W. Bush was so hated because he is white. Our President is hated no more than our prior President. Different haters, but the present are no more hateful than the past haters. No, I'd say Bush-2 was hated by the left for much the same reason as Clinton was hated by the right. Obama is hated for all the reasons Clinton was, PLUS some people hate him all the more precisely because of all of his myriad personal ethnic potpourri. (But mostly because they think he's a nigger.) Yup, I said it.

Well it seems to be based on the feminist rape fantasy of all-the-women-are-being-raped-all-the-time-by-all-the-men-but-they-just-don't-report-it. I don't subscribe to that theory, but can you name another major crime where the victim is blamed more often than not? Possibly tax evasion, I suppose. But that's a digression. Maybe domestic violence; and that's probably more on point.

Yep, maybe. As a comparative example, look at recent Australian national politics. Recent Aussie party leaders' most dangerous political enemies have come from within the leaders' own parties. Could happen in the US, too.

You totally plagiarized that from Clear and Present Danger.

Look, they said they were sorry. And love means never having to say you're sorry.

Sorta squishes stuff so less appears in given screen view. Also adds more advertising to the page. (Just sayin'. )

Apparently the answer to that is "No".

Now why did you start an abortion thread? Oh, wait - you didn't.

Because their time is far too valuable to waste on biochemical research, pharmaceutical formulation, clinical trials and regulatory approval.

It rubs the lotion into its skin.
