@BFEL: ... and laws generally aren't -- and to a fair degree, shouldn't be -- written with the individual in mind. They're written to the average, with judge discretion, pardons, and similar other release valves in place to deal with outliers. Everyone else, the average works. It's going to cover the majority of cases, and other parts of the legal mechanism deal with the rest. That's how pretty much any functioning legal system is constructed, and when it's working properly, things turn out as it should. There's a whole host of legal history and psychological research and so on and so forth backing that up. The law cares about the average first and the individual second, and largely has to to administrate over any group larger than a single family.

... also, maybe don't piss on trailer park folks. Living around a lot of them, many -- most, from what I've seen -- would match up as well or better to a high school honor roll student, assuming they're not one (which is a poor assumption to make for areas where trailer parks are common). Poverty and poor conditions does not mean you have room to stereotype them as poor decision makers -- many of the people living in trailer parks are trying to make the best they can with a poorly dealt hand, not there due to their own mistakes. You definitely have your trailer trash, but treating the whole as if the outlier is representative is as bad as ignoring individual variance compared to the average :-\

Yeah, the trailer thing was a bit rash, I'll admit to that. BFEL gets sorta worked up on this subject, was something that pissed me off since I was 13.

So yeah, sorry for the urine there.

I remember when he died a number of mutilated stingray corpses appeared.

Talk about misaimed fandumb...
Aye, killing animals in honour of an animal conservationist would be just like flooding the Amazon rainforest with agent orange in honour of a rainforest conservationist who died of malaria.

Or like Christians.

Apparently the previous owners of this sheep fed it dog food? Because they were stupid or something.
This is not going to be a normal sheep... Can't wait to actually meet it, I guess? Nah.

Our dogs eat lamb + rice formula food (the only formula that doesn't make at least on of them sick. Who knew!?). I really hope nobody gives up trying to convince it to eat grass and let it have dog food. We don't need cannibal sheep.

... cannibal sheep would be pretty metal, though. They'd be like fuzzy chickens!

Then again, that would be strong mandate to murder them. Hrm.

Poverty and poor conditions does not mean you have room to stereotype them as poor decision makers

I think that the assumption is more the same as the assumption often made with inner city folk. They a poor neighborhood is going to have poor schools - due to lpwer tax revenue to support them - resulting in popr educations (possibly leadig into poorer job opportunities and a multi-generational vicious cycle of poverty and ignorance)

Many modern forms of Christianity bear a closer affinity to the Pharisees than to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth

@Rub: Doctor? Alternately, try google. Or wait. Waiting will make it stop, one way or another.

Also wow, furt. Now the question comes: "Will it be worth a damn?"

... well, that and what the zog they're doing making an expansion on an engine twelve years old. My exploitation warning organs are pulsating in time with the biological hope engines.

Isn't that game something like a decade old? Possibly older than that?

Yeah. As the link notes, the expansion came out twelve years ago. It's still really bloody playable to this day, but, uh.
