Tell me more about the New World Order so that you can wake me up to my lord and savior, Alex Jones. I want to know about the FBI planting this guy to move the ban against guns, bro. OPEN MY EYES, PLEASE!!!
Yes, they’re horrible creatures, and the Bible tells me they are evil. So I HATE them. angry pouts
We don’t have states 
Yes you do. You just call them province.
I don’t even think guns are IN the Bible, that’s how bad they are >:(
What do you think about dudes literally giving their lives to safe their girlfriends? A girlfriend… what the fuck?
Fuck that outdated chivalry, sexist bullshit… I guarantee you that at least one of those chicks was planning on ending the relationship anyway. I bet she feels pretty crappy now… or relieved if she’s a total bitch.
Too soon…actually, I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a time for that one.
The internet is a cold place.
It’s funny how every time I post this everyone against guns just gets quiet.
What. The. Fuck…
-Starhammer-
Oh no. You ain’t foolin’ me. That’s Clayface.
The decent into madness is well in its way
Fixed that for you.
Event that’s not infallible. The reason by thought crime is so dangerous to begin with is that humans are creative and by their very nature are able to weigh possibilities that are impossible or unfeasible.
It does. Our most important piece of legislation ensures the right of all Americans to own one.
Are you even listening to what he’s saying? He’s not spewing unfounded conspiracies, but rather proven truths that every IT security practitioner knows.
Yeah, I thought about that too, but since I don’t claim to know anything about the relationships, I’d rather see it as a human saving another human’s life. And they say there’s no equality. :tup:
The question becomes, if we become more able to understand these people and figure out what to look for in advance, what can we do with that information?
I think America would be better off if they would stay out of other countries and use those soldiers to keep all of the proles in line.
What are you talking about? Mistakes and errors in their head throwing off the “mind reading machine”? Well I guess, but it’s way better than listening to the crap that people say hoping everything mentioned is relevant and accurate.
First I was exaggerating. Second of all, I wanted to SOUND dismissive of him, since he was shrugging everything I said off as if everything he had mentioned completely obliterates my argument - it doesn’t, it’s simply details, details, and at best was only nitpicking at a point I was making for the fuck of it. Third and lastly, if you didn’t get how he sounded like a fucking nut bar conspiracy theorist with the whole “sheep” thing, as if he’s completely immune to the system, then I can’t help you. The guy was on some Dale Gribble shit.

Shakes my head People trying to convince themselves this stuff is preventable. “Ignorant masses” indeed. Said article did nothing but try to further categorize the villainous subjects provided. Here’s an interesting bit of information - choosing not to feel empathy/etc for others is classified as a mental disorder. There are other cases in which simply not being a positive influence is seen as a disorder. Yep, so if you don’t have a caring disposition to your fellow man, you have a mental disorder. Such a thing being placed in psychiatry tells me that’s an attempt to make anyone who doesn’t follow the standards that they set to not be normal. That’s willfully misleading. Fact, you don’t have to be mentally disturbed to want to go on a killing spree. Humans are violent by nature - that alone tells you that we’re all capable of killing on some level. You just have to be pushed far enough to either evade your attempts at rationality or just not give a fuck.
Nothing. Anyone who’s smart enough to want to do something effectively, depressed enough to have nothing to lose, but angry enough to not want to go out alone, will stop communicating altogether, and put his master plant to get the highest score possible in his rage induced shooting spree. As long as you don’t say it, no one can hold you accountable for your words. If no one knows what you’re doing, they can’t stop you. With these things in mind, what could you possibly do to stop someone from hurting another/others?
What I’m saying is that any “thought reading” machine, for the purpose of pre-detecting crime is already set for failure. Humans will keep evil (read criminal) thought to their private mind because it’s only logical and safe place for them. Trying to make that illegal is to make criminal a part of our very nature as human beings.
How would one ever be sure that they’re catching a would be Gacy, or the next Stephen King?
Did you just suggest that psychopaths choose not to feel empathy?
So how about the ones who don’t fit the profile you’re suggesting, such as the one this thread is about?
Well, we’re already pushing it with the idea of a thought reading machine. There would be no limit to what it can read in this hypothetical situation, and there would be no private sector in their mind. With that, the people using the machine would know better than to just arrest them for thinking of crimes, but rather put watches on people because they SERIOUSLY thought about executing it.
Did you just read that any way you felt like?
Sure, you might get them. That depends on whether the people around them are competent enough to catch them. Seeing as we’ve learned nothing really new about human behavior, maybe we should’ve had the failsafes that we’re using now put up a long time ago? Oh sure, you got me. I mean I said it before, but since I have to say it again, I’ll be clear this time - not every case where a lot of lives are lost to gunmen are preventable. Happy?
I’m not sure. That’s why I’m asking you.
Well, that comes back to my point. Assuming you have that information, what do you do with it? I’m sure I don’t need to get into the precarious balancing act between the freedom of a private citizen and the need for law enforcement to be able to use actionable intelligence when they have it.
