   Shouldn't We Be Banning GPSes Now?

   We need a ridiculous knee-jerk reaction to be on par with camera-phone bans everywhere.

   Wouldn't it be cool if a jackass set up a sniper nest, and kept shooting all the geocachers approaching a location? Nerd holocaust.

   As someone, who together with my wife and other family members, enjoy geocaching and an appreciation of nature we encounter while geocaching, will try to keep in mind that not all the sickos in society, such as you, are behind bars yet.

   aw, don't be so harsh. Dorpus is just like that, and the day his pie falls out of the sky Techdirt will lose a great deal of lustre. 8-)

   Well, the best I can say is that Dorpus needs to grow up or get something beyond a ditigal life.

   So I guess the parenting police will be after me for letting my children participate in such a dangerous activity?

   Sorry, it won't work. If nobody makes it back to log the cache then people will realize it's bogus and won't go look for it.

   "Well, the best I can say is that Dorpus needs to grow up or get something beyond a ditigal life."
   
   What would that something be? In my life, words on the screen have a tendency to turn into women who come out of airplanes. I'm still dealing with the aftermath of a woman who flew in from Japan to see me, her angry boyfriends have been calling me up every day, and since I'm not interested in her, she's been playing the standard Asian mind games -- "I've been throwing up a lot. Do you think I'm pregnant?" or "I have a terrible rash on my arm, I think it's a virus." Yeah, right. I got her to confess she's just BSing me.

   Remember when Dorpus used to just post rants on how much he hated techies? The last 3 posts from Dorpus seems to crossed a line. They are all about killing somthing (mass murder flash mobs, killing video games, killing geo-cachers). I'm afraid his mental condition is worsening.

    Oh and, if you want to play a free game where you want to kill as many civilians... er, I mean, terrorists, as possible, try this.

    It's trying to make some cheesey liberal political statement, but the scurrying, crying civilians make it too funny.

    It would be cool If geo-cachers were allowed to carry weapons and fire back at you.
