  And what do you get from that? Less accidental shootings because the kids know how to handle the real thing properly instead of waving around their dad's gun like it's a toy and accidentally offing their best friend.

  Well, I was going to comment on this post, but I have a sudden compulsion to become a surgeon. I guess that's what playing Trauma Center will do to you.

  Re: Classic Function Creep As EU Police May Gain Access To Asylum Seekers Fingerprint Database

  Also, I noticed that it says they'll be collecting data on all non-EU citizens that enter the EU. Basically, they'll be collecting fingerprints from everyone that isn't from the EU. Meaning Americans, Canadians, Australians and so on. Which means they'll have highly personal information on basically every tourist that wants a vacation in Italy or France or whatever. I was going to have more of an argument in this and the next few sentences but I ran out of brain. I don't know how to explain how unnecessary keeping fingerprints (and more) of every tourist that comes into your general region is. What is even the purpose of doing this?

  Hmm. I found something interesting in one of my classes today. In the area I live, there's apparently some 'legal aid centers' that provide legal help in civil cases for free. Wonder if they have any in Anderson, Indiana. It'd certainly make it easier to sue if you don't have the threat of 'win or you get to pay a bunch of money you don't have' hanging above your head.

  Fusion centers

  Timothy, every time you mention a 'fusion center' I start wondering if we've already succeed at creating fusion power plants at a commercial scale. Though I'm pretty sure what's really going on there is denser than even a supernova can fuse..

  Re: Re: Re: Irony

  Does that mean if, say, a video game company decided to get into the secondhand game market rather than eliminating it, they would increase their profits by some non-zero percentage?
  
  I like the sound of that math better than MAFIAA math.

  artificial sweetner=food additive?

  I mean, isn't anything you put into a food a food additive? Or are they using more rigid definitions here? Anyone care to clarify what the FDA defines as additive?
