We disagree, so you should probably not express your opinion since I don’t like it.

Knock it off.

Whatever.

Maybe there have been times when I have become frustrated in debate and have been rude/short and given attitude to people. I am sorry.

That said, I still believe how I was mocked and treated yesterday and ever since I have returned from “hiding”(if that is what we need to call it), was uncalled for.

Much like when a duo of murderous cops terrorize, psychologically torture, and then murder an unarmed man, I don’t really care too much what other little tidbits the story entails.

moviefreakedmind said:

Oh yeah that’s right. He moved his a little bit. Better shoot him just to be safe.

I don’t know how this isn’t bringing in an old debate about cops, a wisecrack(the second quote), and giving attitude.

I will admit perhaps I read this post too harshly:

That teacher has no business teaching anyone gun safety(if I understand gun safety enough). I could be mistaken, but I doubt it.

Why even shoehorn in this little bit of apologetics.

I took it as an accusation of dishonesty. I think it tainted my interpretations of his posts in here(but not to a point that I totally misread them)

If he wants to disagree with me that is fine, it was the way it seem to me that he was going about that was the problem.

How I have been treated lately by people I thought were friends, hurts.

You tend to get very combative when you disagree, which brings out the type of responses you seem to take umbrage with.

Maybe. Like I said I get frustrated in debates, especially when I feel others aren’t fairly and logically considering what I’ve been saying. I admit I have a temper.

Something else you need to learn is to separate people’s stance on your opinions with their stance on you. Granted sometimes we’re all dicks when we argue, but can you honestly say that you are never rude when you disagree with someone about something?

Of course there have been times when I have been rude when I disagree with someone about something.

I thought this was funny

http://www.kron4.com/news/cops-warn-residents-of-men-challenging-others-to-rap-battles/1033183753#

Charlton police told WCVB-TV that a black SUV containing a group of men in their late teens or early 20s pulled up next to three teenage boys Saturday afternoon.

One of the men got out of the vehicle and started rapping. The other men then asked the teens if they wanted to “spit some bars” with them. When the boys declined, the men drove off.

Police say it doesn’t appear to be an attempted abduction, but the boys were frightened.

I hope they catch that bomber in Austin Texas. Was worried about a friend who lives there with the latest incident tonight. They’re fine, but scared.

This past week, a New Zealand man was looking through the data Facebook had collected from him in an archive he had pulled down from the social networking site. While scanning the information Facebook had stored about his contacts, Dylan McKay discovered something distressing: Facebook also had about two years worth of phone call metadata from his Android phone, including names, phone numbers, and the length of each call made or received.

If one never uses facebook on their smartphone could they still mine that data?

I saw someone somewhere saying they got a zip folder of their Facebook data and it included record of every phone call with their partner’s mother of the last several years, but didn’t seem to list many other calls.

If you don’t have the app installed, probably not.

Same guy as the article.

Apparently, according to the article, it only mined that data if you gave it permission to access your contacts, which it asks for upon installing the app. If you said no then I’m guess your phone wouldn’t have allowed the app to access it, or maybe the app wouldn’t have tried. It’s still disturbing because “having access to” contacts doesn’t clearly imply that it’s monitoring your calls and texts, so it’s a lack of transparency on Facebook’s part.
