  The Groove Tiger ( profile ), 27 Aug, 2013 @ 04:04pm

  This is what should happen:
  
  Whenever the press is handed a heavily redacted document, it gets to make up whatever horrible shit it wants that makes the redacter look as bad as possible. Like, "according to my non-redacted copy, in this paragraphs it says 'top NSA officers enjoy clubbing seals and eating kitties'". If the NSA wants to dispute said observation, it has to disclose the actual contents of that paragraph.

• On the post: Okay, Now Will People Admit That Ed Snowden Is A Whistleblower?

  

  The Groove Tiger ( profile ), 16 Aug, 2013 @ 04:14pm

  We've already been through this.
  
  He didn't fill any of the government provided whistleblower forms nor solicit a whistleblower license. He also didn't use the double-secret special whistleblower handshake, so clearly he isn't officially a whistleblower.

  Maybe after playing the demo 20 times, it gamevolves into the full game?

• On the post: Pat Robertson: Murder Committed In Video Games Is No Different Than Real Life Murder

  

  The Groove Tiger ( profile ), 06 Aug, 2013 @ 09:31am

  They should make a game where the player has to say the most stupidly idiotic backwards religious shit. Then Pat can start playing it and stop bugging everyone else, since it's the "same as real life".

  Re: Re: Re:

  It used to be that people always clicked in the flagged comments, to find out what hilarious nonsense was being posted by the trolls.
  
  After this, people will just (rightly) just skip them, as it's likely just more of your spam (which, at this point is just that, it no longer even qualifies as trolling).
  
  So kudos for streamlining the way people use the comments section, I suppose.
