    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    That's the amount that did NOT burn and explode. There was an explosion of the oil. You took 26,000 US gal from the "aftermath" section below that: So no, I'm not "Mr. Wrong" and that's pretty damned offensive right there, going way beyond debating the facts Dave.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Umm, a number of those said in the range of 10 cars and/or tankers off of the tracks, which is more than I said was equivalent to this pipeline one. A number of the smaller ones are a smaller number of cars. One of them linked there...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Well I disagree on the degree of necessary punishment (if only to make an example) but I put it more on the victim than anybody else to say what's appropriate. For reference, a standard train tanker car holds about 34,500 gallons, so that's just over 6 train cars worth. Imagine if it'd been a...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Does Katie Perry think it is ok? Franken's victim didn't even have the choice, she was sleeping. And rebuked him for the forced kiss. Not the same at all. Why are you defending the slime? He's admitted his guilt. It's just now what punishment he should have. Or do you not think he...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Here's a quick little flowchart for you to cut out the BS involved: 1. Does the accused admit to the offense? If No, proceed to 2. If Yes, proceed to 3 2. It's complicated now. Evidence, believability, etc. NO CLEAR ACTION. If you believe one side, then publicly say so. 3. Perp did it...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    When all the people involved with these scandals give up their fame then I'll believe that their contrite. They're all rich enough to live the rest of their lives outside of the public eye. When they do that, and actively turn away fame then I'll believe that they have "paid" for their crimes...

    Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: Who's sexually harassing? Who's sexually harassed? Let's find out!

    I put that on in a post on the Politics forum, since he's a Senator now: https://www.halforums.com/threads/gas-bandits-political-thread-v-the-vampire-likes-bats.17774/page-390#post-1379671 Though it definitely does "belong" in either or both threads.

    The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

    Somehow this video manages to be both horrifyingly "real" and also funny. Honestly, I'm probably laughing instead of crying. And yes I just recently discovered Tom Scott's videos. They're great.

    Random Video Game Crap

    Honestly, I wish a major country (sorry, Belgium isn't big enough) rules that any "hidden knowledge" purchases are gambling, and outlaws them under everything except gaming laws. Including booster packs for things like Magic (physical, not just digital), the Popcap "hidden" figurines, etc. So...

    Here's a hint: The FIRST thing most revolutionary governments do is ban all the guns from everybody but themselves. That your country took the OPPOSITE approach is fascinating. Who's trying to ban all the guns again? You are? I'm immediately suspicious of you.

    If you think the USA is totalitarian, you are delusional. See North Korea, Zimbabwe, or even a "softer" version of it in China. You guys aren't even close.

    Don't forget how the Police will still have guns to "protect" everybody. Because remember, always trust the government with the power. They won't abuse it! But the people, giving them power is just a terrible idea.
