OhChute? Is that you? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I'm getting them repealed. I was so very pleased you decided to drop in... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Neural plasticity is pretty awesome. I remember in first year psych learning about a girl who'd been born literally with only half a brain. While there were some things that she occasionally had difficulty with, by the time she was in her teens she was functionally no different from any other kid the same age - what brain matter she had just took up the slack... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Oh you... Stay classy! You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

The grey area I took from the article was some sort of target shooting setup in your own yard. As you say, arming your plane is not legal, but in that instance you're out in public airspace. A drone in your backyard is not. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for or against the concept. I just found it's legality debatable enough to be interesting. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I thought the plural was "meese"? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

You mean because some one changed that while we weren't looking to read "The right of the people to keep and bear muskets shall not be infringed?" Well that's where it gets interesting for me. If you're flying a drone remotely, are you actually "bearing" the arms? You're controlling the device, but it's not you holding the weapon in this instance. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

"Right now" is the key phrase there. I don't actually think the tech is likely to be that far off. While the forces aren't nearly the same, there's already quite a few drone models used for mounting video cameras to where the gimbal arrangement maintains a completely level and stable for the camera regardless of the drones movement. Recoil's really the only obstacle. Regarding protection - I wouldn't be so sure. It's more that people are only just now asking the question. As the article mentions, legislation could be passed to ban the concept now, and pre-empt that discussion. As the idea of personal drones becomes more mainstream though, I think that line may get a bit blurrier. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Came across this yesterday, thought it was a very interesting piece. This may be naive of me, but I'd actually like to avoid the pro/anti-gun rhetoric on this one as much as possible, the legalities and practical applications seem much more interesting to me... http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/05/21/the-next-gun-debate-armed-drones-could-be-protected-by-the-second-amendment?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I don't know if I'd ditch the party terminology outright. I definitely would like to see the bastardised putdown versions of them gone, ie Libtard/Conservatard, Rescumlican, Obummer... They're all childish. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Umm... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Yeah, and he would also be a serial killer. He's not a serial killer, he's a mass murderer. If you're going to participate a thread quibbling over what he's being called then you should try and get it right. Nobody has agreed with you on this.I agree with him. A serial killer is someone who commits multiple murders separated by a substantial time interval (days to sometimes years). Someone who kills a bunch of people in a single incident is a mass murderer. Don Promise5, for example, has implied that she is a serial killer. My 20-something kid can chow her way thru a box of Cocoa Krispies in a day. She's a cereal killer. Fox has a history of cancelling really promising new tv shows after only a season or so. Does that make them serial serial killers? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Don't tell me you've never heard of Maru? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Uh oh. . . I did provide an address based on an earlier email that sounded legit. I guess I'm in for it. Better stock up on Puppies! ... better yet, AMMO!

Act accordingly.

This phrase keeps getting trotted out again and again and again lately. I'm sorry, but it's got about as much impact as it would if you used that line on a one night stand... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Apologies for resurrecting a relatively old thread, but came across this recently. http://www.slate.com/articles/video/slate_v/2013/05/abortion_clinic_video_exposing_fake_selectively_edited_hidden_camera_footage.html Interesting to see what was left on the cutting room floor... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

That kind of thinking is present on both sides of the aisle - it's politics, duh. As I said, in this sort of circumstance, no. It's abhorrent. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

This. Oh you don't know how bad I would love to do this. If I'm lucky space tourism will really become attainable before I die. +1.

You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

How about someone who would blame tornadoes like this on Global Warming? Would you have the same level of contempt for them? If it was a thread just about tornadoes, or other extreme weather? Probably not. In a thread specifically started to draw attention to the tragic loss of children? Yes. ETA: I've bolded the part that should've prevented you needing to ask. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.
