[02:31:53] <c0lo> I don't hate them. Just want them be held responsible when they break the laws.

[02:35:45] <c0lo> It wasn't the rioters that called the prick come and kill them.
[02:35:59] <Runaway1956_> someone should have shot down about fifty more of those rioters - starting with those who beat the old man half to death while they burnt his business down
[02:36:55] <c0lo> Oh, inciting violence, are you Tunaway1956_?
[02:37:23] <Runaway1956_> seeking justice - you have zero empathy for the innocents who were harmed by rioters, do you?
[02:37:56] <aristarchus_> Runaway, advocating extra-judicial violence! I am shocked! Maybe someone, just saying, about fifty more Runaways, ought to be, you know, edumacated. About the law.
[02:38:02] <c0lo> Rule of law and all that is no longer "seeking justice" for you?
[02:38:18] <Runaway1956_> self defense is not extrajudicial ari
[02:39:03] <Runaway1956_> c0lo - not one rioter is being prosecuted, not even those who beat the old man up
[02:39:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, that's non-judicial. extrajudicial would be if you brought your judge friend along to kick ass with.
[02:41:20] <c0lo> "not one rioter is being prosecuted" doesn't justify "shot down about fifty more of those rioters".
[02:42:06] <Runaway1956_> which part of self defense do you fail to understand? twenty people taking part in beating a defenseless old man - they all should have been shot in their tracks
[02:42:59] <Runaway1956_> too bad the old man didn't have a son or daughter come out behind him after the first time he was hit, and start gunning
[02:43:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> three is about fifty? fuck, i'm getting in c0lo's checkout line.

[02:44:04] <Runaway1956_> there were 30 or more chasing after kyle weren't there?
[02:44:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> and three got shot
[02:44:48] <aristarchus_> Self-defense is for cowards. No true Christian would ever value their own life above that of another.
[02:45:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> what if they were a scottsman too?
[02:45:09] <Runaway1956_> if you say so starchy
[02:46:13] <aristarchus_> St. Augustine says so. I could give you the citation, but if seriously doubt that in your far-right blood-lust you would be interested.
[02:46:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, the scots have to have someone to fight. if they can't find anyone, they have to go back to fighting their greatest enemy, the scots

[17:01:41] <Runaway1956_> read it either way and see how it plays - DEA wants you to believe that they can't identify you with the data
[17:01:47] * Runaway1956_ is not cynical
[17:03:08] <FatPhil> de-identified data is anonymised data, and would be useful for statistical purposes, but why invent a new term?
[17:09:48] <Runaway1956_> probably they need to invent a new term to help confuse people
[17:12:45] <c0lo> Or it's probable Runaway kneejerked his keyboard again.
[17:12:51] <c0lo> "The “de-identified” data the DEA will have access to includes things like a patients, gender, age group, city, state, zip code and the number of instances of more than one Schedule II prescription drug at the same address. It also includes things like the distance between a patient and the pharmacy."
[17:14:19] <c0lo> Which is to day "de-identification means we'll be wiping out the name of the person and her/his address"...
[17:14:50] <Runaway1956_> So, everything there is to know about the patient, except his name - which means they can re-identify you whenever they want

[17:14:56] <Runaway1956_> meaningless bullshit
[17:14:58] <c0lo> ... because we pinky-promise we won't try to re-identify the data.
[17:15:37] <Runaway1956_> so, like I said, they're just trying to confuse the issue to get the data they want
[17:16:49] <c0lo> And we won't try to re-identify the data because we ask in the same law for "all accompanied by a rapid process for legally unveiling personally identifying information".
[17:17:43] <Runaway1956_> here's a really neat trick - just read the headline

[22:54:08] <Runaway1956> Seems like *some* of our members believes that China has everything under perfect control
[22:54:40] <pinchy> too bad serpentza is not in chyna anymore to do his youtube vids
[22:55:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i see i need to start online skepticism an cynicism classes for the community
[22:55:26] <FatPhil> I reckon China's capable of doing the same kind of response to a threat of an epidemic that Americans and Australians would do to the threat of forest fires.
