Let's just kill everyone we don't like, or suspect of committing crimes.
It's not like they could be or are productive members of society. And even if they were, who needs that?
Holy shit, I'm sorry to hear that, man. Atleast you're alright, beyond a bruise. It's a shame that your car is fucked, though. :(

Watch up to the part where she talks. You'll smarten up.
As it stands, the educational financing system is deeply rooted in problems; student loan scandals are just a grain of sand in the desert. Other issues like preferential treatment for people by race is blatantly flaunted in post-secondary applications for monetary backing. The system is rife with arbitrary and inane stipulations that stifle potential scholars and perpetuate many bound for failure. The system is flawed, and they've violated students financially long before now, so much so that it makes student loan scandals insignificant.
It's outrageous that they allow themselves to be biased and bought off, yes, but it's worse than that underneath, and nobody seems comparatively concerned with the real issues. It sickens me far more that they openly award financial assistance specific to certain races and women, and then have the audacity to call themselves equal-rights proponents.

Simplicity is a virtue.
Also, I'm gunna guess the last guy, just at random.
It's basically a replacement for a period; it separates two independent clauses, usually related to one-and-other.

It can also replace commas in the case that a series contains internal punctuation.
You guys are assholes. I went and looked, and when I saw he wasn't I FUCKING CRIED BECAUSE I HATE YOU ALL AND YOU ALL SUCK. FUCK YOU ALL, YOU BASTARDS. FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU. I HATE YOU.

Now ban/delete the entire General forum, and all these years of befriending those around you on NG will have paid off.
SWEET VICTORY.
Twelve motherfucking cocks, man. Twelve.
'grats on taking NG by the clit, Bryce.
Sequel, please.
With a sex scene.

Ah, I can see stuff like sound engineering and business, but I would chalk the whole teaching-and-playing-music thing to be perfectly doable without a 3 or 4 year uni degree for it.

You bought it for the 2-for-1 deal. CONFESS.
What exactly is a bachelor of music degree good for, anyways? It's on this uni application I'm doing, and I can't think of any real, practical application for it that you couldn't do without it.
You people need to start taking my word as irrefutable fact and leave it at that.
If you really want an appropriate place to discuss the validity of sympathy/empathy, make a thread for it.

I don't expect you to become emotionally attached, nor does anyone else. Setting a good example is worth the effort, though.

Anonymity is no excuse to be a cunt. Jokes have a place, and it isn't here. Sometimes that has to be said.
I first heard about this from a link to a CNN article from TheOnion.com. I interrupted what satirical article I was reading to read over what happened in the shooting; afterwards, I couldn't stand the thought of reading anymore satire from TheOnion, or any other source. This was a tragedy, and the victims here did not end at those who were killed and injured senselessly, but the family and friends of those souls. To consider this massacre in any light sense is criminal, regardless of motivation for cheap attention, or false gratification in upsetting others.
I hope the injured and effected are resilient in the lives they have left in themselves and around them, but not without remembering those lost, and pondering lessons gained. In a perfect world, shootings would never happen, and the day when we have a perfect world is what we all strive towards. We still have a long way to go until that day, though.
It snowed here last Thursday, but now Sask is experiencing beautiful spring weather. I expect you're in for the same thing in a few days. Damn, I love spring.
We need a wider geographic spread of people, imho. We could pull off 24 hours of live DJ's constantly if we had more DJ's from Europe/the-Eastern-Hemisphere.
Also, if anyone from NG decides to sign up for DJing, remember that it's for fun, not some professional DJing gig, so don't worry about audience size or other aspects which seem to put people off of DJing for Internet radio.

You aren't the most hated user. There are a couple floating around here that surpass in that regard with ease. Hell, I don't even dislike you, but then again, I stay the fuck away from religious arguments because I both care very little and hate how they always devolve into a flaming pile of shit.
As for who IS the most hated, I think talking about it is pointless and inane. I'm too tired to not take everything seriously right now, though.
-----------------
On a completely unrelated note, I just got back from three days at my Dad's house (in a different city). I missed my music and Internet, but I'm a bit tired from having only slept a few hours last night. I'll probably feel more awake after I get me some food.

To be fair, the paradigm in that area is more in favour of drug use, so this isn't COMPLETELY WACKO SHITFUCK INSANE to them, hence it getting as far as it has.
But still, those silly Dutch.
I just woke up. Now, to bide my time until chocolate. Yes...
Who the hell BUYS those things, in the first place? I mean, where are they getting the money to pay NG for banner ads with sound?

Other situations will not be affected in this case-study world.
Fucking... Jesus, DoM/shake.
Anyways, just as an fyi, you can tune into the station from here, directly; or you can go to the site DJ section. Sign-ups for DJing are held in the music forum (you'll need to make an MMJ account), and it's all a pretty clear process. If anyone has questions, please ask them.

THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS.
DJ's are being accepted, too. Whoring the site aside, it's a great opportunity to sign up for the forums and join one of the few sites orbiting NG that's survived for as long as it has.

Well, I'd imagine the point of this thought experiment is just that: discussion of the reasoning behind punishment. I'd only be repeating myself if I reiterated my view that politics should favour positive consequences, and not just appeal to human emotions and urges, so there's not much else for me to say.
Kudos to Elfer, though, for creating a fascinating, thought-provoking thread.

WTF?!
Like I meant to convey in the "and of course, this doesn't happen in reality part," you could never prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would never wrong again in reality; so in our world, no, you should be punished. However, in this case study world, it can only burden society to punish him.
