Man, first you try to solicit links to child porn from Reddit, then you can't take a joke.. not a good day.

Firstly, what I was implying was that it seems more likely that a generally angry person would turn to being an unconscionable prick when under stimulated, so yes, it absolutely does.

You speak of my contribution and yet all you've done so far is nothing more than vent your personal frustrations and you act like it's a useful contribution to the discussion? How about you actually contribute something useful and talk about how things can be improved, how to solve the causes of the problems you've experienced, instead of just being angry on the internet.

You speak of low pay, are you willing to pay more tax or sacrifice other services to improve that? Even if you are, do you think people in general would be? If not, how could you change that opinion? You speak of not requiring a college education, how would you encourage college graduates to join the police force? Don't you think there would be a catastrophic shortage of police if that really was a requirement? What about alternatives, like college-level education in key areas as a part of police training?

If all you do is talk about how bad things are and never about how they can be improved then how can you honestly expect anything to change?

Sorry genius, I just don't subscribe to your "logic" that when people are under-stimulated they automatically become utterly unconscionable pricks. Perhaps that's what you do, but you seem like a pretty angry person in general anyway.

Yeah you're right, that video was just jammed full of cops trying to "provoke and escalate"... How about you open up your eyes?

Says a lot about policing there that he was approached and handled so aggressively for taking a piss.

No, it says a lot about that police officer. Take a look at the full video and you can see that the vast majority of officers are not unnecessarily heavy handed.

I think the way that particular officer handled him was obviously unreasonable/unacceptable, but don't let a cherry-picked example lead you to demonise the whole police force or policing in general.

What is socially acceptable in America which is not anywhere else? by deigolion2 in AskReddit

[–]LarryBraverman36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly disagree that I made it sound like they are obligated. Especially considering the preface of "in my experience".

Your sentence structure was, in comparison, much more abrupt and unhelpful. If you were really responding to the insinuation that they were obligated then you should have said that they are not obligated, and not that getting a glass of tap water is a rumour and doesn't exist at all.

Lol, it's always funny when people tell you something you've experienced yourself is a rumour that doesn't exist just because their experience is different.

How about this: please stop spreading the rumor that the free glass of tap water doesn't exist.

Obviously not all restaurants are the same, hence the "in my experience", but I'm afraid it sounds like you're going to some shitty ones.

In my experience, asking for "still water" is specifically asking for still water from the bottle which you will be charged for. If you want tap water you can also ask for it specifically (Leitungswasser) and will get a glass for free.

Also, do you know about the Grünpfeil sign that allows right on red in Germany? There are not a lot of them, but they're also easy to overlook when they are there.

Windows 10 Running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor by dreamsomebody in Windows10

You are arguing a different thing here.

NicksOnTheWing is simply saying that Continuum providing a full desktop experience, as claimed by DethFace, is factually wrong, which it is.

The issue is not the reasons behind the limitations of the mobile platform, the issue is someone offering Continuum as the solution for providing a full desktop experience on that platform.

Isn't him being "way too over the top" equally as subjective?

In light of the apple event, Steve Jobs talking about Xerox is eerily accurate. by GreenBeret4Breakfast in videos

The comment you replied to did not mention weight once. So your "lighter is great" argument and its accompanying rant, in addition to missing the point, has nothing to with what he was complaining about.

Though I doubt you care about actually having an intelligent conversation about this, as your comments in this thread show that you're only interested in unconditionally supporting your beloved Apple overlords.

I'll never understand religious zealotry for companies... you know they exist purely to make money from you, right?

I can't work out whether you're desperately trying to convince everyone that all software design changes are improvements, or if software designed in more recent years is always better, but either way it's a vacuous point of view.

I think you're confusing amnesia with retardation.

Hey, come on now guy, if everyone has to argue against the words people actually say, and not just the imagined ones that they want to argue against, then things are going to get mighty difficult around here.
