Braingle: Who's the Boss?

Posted: 12:40AM Dec 1, 2012

This is going to be the most hilarious WTB game EVER, but only if players participate.

I've been thinking; someone really should start a WTB game where you're supposed to post funny and random stuff, pictures included. So, the task I'm presenting you with is to post the funniest thing that you can find, that is still related to the topic.

1) First person to post MUST choose the topic. Make it something common (and awesome), like "Harry Potter" or "nerds". Nothing like "Twilight" or "love"... Those aren't much fun.

2) Be appropriate. If it has naughty words in it, black it out, or something. DO NOT POST IT. If it has anything that CG would not like or approve of, DO NOT POST IT. If SirHar would probably approve of it, DO NOT POST IT.

3) Be funny, active, and kind.

4) Don't test my patients. That means you, JJ.

5) Have fun!

"Proud?" said Harry. "Are you crazy? All those times I could've died, and I didn't manage it? They'll be furious...."

No, not books, JJ. That's not feasible! This year's topic is transportation infrastructure.

And thank you kitty. I don't think most of the state would hate them if they socialized with us. They hid out in the basement, while everyone else was in the commons area. They don't stand to clap for anyone else but themselves; they have horrible sportsmanship. They're sore losers when they don't win, and arrogant and conceited when they do. Through out the entire state, they have a horrible reputation, and NO ONE likes them.

Sorry. I just had to vent.

In addition to all that complaining up there (^) but I do think something has happened within all the judging. We ended up losing to a case that ran false evidence (that in itself should have DQ'd them) and all they're definitions were wrong. Problem was, we couldn't bring that up because they had just given the last speech. They said that there were 57 billion people in the US, and they would fund the project through deficit spending (which they claimed was people buying shares in the government), and they wouldn't increase taxes, but if they did, it would be less than a dollar per person. This is wrong because:
A) There are only 7-8 billion people on the planet
B) Who would buy shares in the government? Deficit spending is borrowing money from China, basically.
C) Taxes don't increase by less than a dollar.

SO FRUSTRATING.

You see people carrying around baby dolls and giving other people non-doll hamsters, both of which happened today. And, of course, we dress up like zombies.

Sorry for the little rant there, but it really is so much fun.

I'm not sure it's just a rumour. It's fact that it's legal. Honestly, if it's legal and it will boost sales, would you do it? (Heck, they'd probably do it even if it's illegal anyway ...)

2. They interview the kids! I mean, after surviving some horrible incident like that, why would I want to be swarmed with reporters??? These children are 7 years old. At least wait a few days before badgering them with questions. Ugh.

Either way, I cant imagine what the families must be going through, I hope they don't get forgotten.

But thin about this, if they ban guns, how do we defend ourselves when we need to? I say people under 25 should not be able to touch one unless it is a real emergency, and parents who own guns should keep them where kids cannot get to them. I think if we take away guns, other things that are worse than this might happen.

How exactly did you decide that it's safer in the US than Canada JJ?

I'm glad the teachers told the KINDERGARDENERS that someone was just hammering. You can't just walk into a classroom and say "Hey kids! There's a guy out there shooting at your classmates! He's trying to kill us!" The teacher that took her students and locked themselves in the bathroom probably saved their lives.

And no gun ban or restriction is going to prevent something like this from happening again. Look at the movie theatre massacre. He was insane, but he still got the weapons. Mentally disturbed people who are looking for blood won't be stopped by the law, seeing as their overall goal defies more still.

And koin, you can't just "rewrite" the constitution. Those are our basic rights as American citizens, and the government can't take them away because of one person. It's unconstitutional.

Slam, you do have to get interviewed to get a gun license. You have to have registration for each gun you have.

e) 3 guns were found--a Glock and a Sig Sauer. Another machine gun was found in his car.
f) Now I'm just spouting random facts o.O

They have had 0 mass murders in the last 20 years, we have had 7 this year. If anyone wants me to post the full thing, I'd be glad to.

My point is this- take Thailand for instance, they are not allowed to own guns in Thailand. Therefore, the people have no way to protect themselves. Like you guys said, no guns means no gun violence, and that is true with Thailand, but people still no how to get them. Sad to say that there is still alot of crime in Thailand. And do you remember what happened with Germany? Adolf Hitler disarmed the people, and therefore, he was able to do whatever he wanted.

The second amendment states we have the right to bear arms. It's in the Bill of Rights. You can't just "rewrite" it. It can be added to, but to remove that right would be unconstitutional. In 200 years the Constitution has stayed to same. The Bill of Rights has been added too, but never had rights taken from it. The founding fathers gave us those rights as Americans, and they can't be taken away because of a few messed up people, it's just not right.

koin: No, you need to have licenses and registration in every state.

JJ: No the Constitution is the same. They've added to the Bill of Rights, which is the other part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Ever heard the term? They may have changed some things, like putting a term limit on a President's time in office, but the general ideas remain the same. Changing the second amendment, however, is a completely different story.

slam: See ya. Why do you need to leave? Seems like you could see good enough to post.

Yup. No point arguing, really. Not that it's a bad topic, just saying.

In my opinion, what Freeman said here is rhetoric, and nothing more.

I agree that the shooter wanted to be remembered as a beast rather than be forgotten as a loser. However, that's about the only thing with which I agree.

While I hate Western media in general, I don't think they should be blamed for getting the shooter remembered. If you commit a shocking crime like this, it's unlikely you'll ever be forgotten - you don't need the media for that. It's like saying, hey, let's forget Jeffrey Dahmer, L. Ron Hubbard, Adolf Hitler, etc., and instead, let's try to put the names of their victims in history books.

The part about gun control was simply absurd. It seems that all he's trying to do in that little last paragraph is to characterise those who condemn the shooter as jerks, and to say that donating money to psychological research will somehow stop these crazy mass murders from coming. Well, while it's a nice thought, it's nearly as plausible as saying that if the whole world mourns for the victims, they will come back to life. OK, maybe not as implausible as THAT, but you get the idea. I do agree that curing psychological illness may prevent some of these massacres, but it takes time to do this and it will likely be impossible to wipe out mental illnesses completely. Not to mention that there are other motives for these murders. Gun control, however, can solve the problem immediately, or as we prefer to say in Chinese, stand a rod on the ground and see the shadow immediately.

Even so, gun control really doesn't do that much. Don't take that the wrong way or anything, I mean, it does help a lot. Just not for this specific problem, because like I mentioned before, people steal guns. Somebody who has no license, isn't old enough, or has a psychological problem, who's planning on killing people, won't be stopped by laws. Let me repeat that: They're planning on KILLING PEOPLE anyway. Laws don't stop murderers; they're already planning on breaking about half of them. Yes, if there are stricter gun control laws, there will be less guns laying around for people to take. But they can still find one, if they're really determined. I wrote 50,000 words in a month, because I was really determined to. If someone had that same level of determination to go and shoot up a school, for whatever reason, they're going to find a way to do it. So yes, gun control does help. But for this particular situation, people will find a way around the laws.

Hey! I was going to join this game since it just needed 2 more players & seemed fun, but I really wanna try the Family Feud game, so I'm going to Harry Putter, too sorry! But thanks for adding me, CG! I hope to catch your next game!

Just wanna leave you with a thought: If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. Hard drugs like cocaine are illegal, yet plenty of people still buy/sell it underground. Making it illegal really only just takes the Government & law out of it - those who would pass those tests listed above and use guns responsibly will no longer have them.

Not to mention the whole "guns don't kill people, people kill people" - Around the same time as this tragedy, a dude in China stabbed multiple children to death; there was no gun involved but still a madman killed innocent children.

instead of controlling the guns specifically, we need to focus on providing better mental health care - try to stop bullying and treat depression in youngsters seriously. If your child kills animals, you need to get them help b/c 9 times out of 10 serial killers or these crazy shooters tortured animals before they moved on to humans.

ANYWAY, just my two cents

If this game is still open after HarryPutter's, I'll definitely be coming back!

I like HP's idea, but not the survey, so I'm stayin'.

Have fun guys.

kitty, you managed NaNoWriMo not just because of your determination (which I, as someone who gave up after a couple thousand, think is superhuman), but also because you had easy access to the resources for it. You didn't have to beg, borrow or steal for them - OK, maybe you had to borrow, but certainly not beg or steal. If guns were banned, it would be much harder to find the necessary resources. Besides, it's much riskier to buy underground than from a normal store. That would discourage the madmen from getting guns. Yeah - that means they'll use knives instead. I do think there should be more restrictions on knives (such as restricting them to kitchens and the number of knives per household), but at least it's easier to kill a guy with a knife than a guy with a gun. It will still be horrible to lose innocent lives, but at least fewer will hopefully be lost without guns.

2. Sorry to nitpick, but it's "yo no comprendo," not "no yo comprendo."

1. I changed it. I can see the new one, but I couldn't until I refreshed it. Maybe try that?

2. No me understand. Seems legit.

Yeah, in real life I would leave out the yo completely, because you can do that in Spanish, but I just randomly added it here, seemingly in the wrong place.

JJ might have had the idea also, but I guarantee this game is all my own. I kept forgetting about it, otherwise I would have started earlier. Where have YOU been? Since you haven't posted since December 12th, I forbid you to pick on the inactive players. Only active players can do that, otherwise you render yourself hypocritical.

And even if they are, I will deal with it accordingly. Haven't you people learned to trust me yet?

EDIT: because my color was all out of whack.

Hey guys, WHERE'S BABYJUICE?

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy books and chocolate, and that's more or less the same thing.
