It depends by what measure you rate the intelligence services. Bigger budget =/= better. I would argue that a measure of percentage of attacks prevented could do better, but this is not only unknown, it is biased towards those places which are insignificant or peaceful. Pretty sure Luxembourg's...

But Pakistan is a battle-ridden, poverty-stricken shithole.

Yeah, in the past four years I've never had a timetable that was more than three days a week. That said, the two-day or even one-day timetables are not recommended, as I found that I didn't (and still don't) do any work at home.

Because telling an entire country to go fuck itself is doing no harm.

I didn't say no emotion. I said control. EDIT: Actually, upon revision, I said neither. But I *meant* control.

Or better yet, if they did evolve proper thinking and learnt to stop letting emotions dictate their actions.

I'm on 3 at the moment. Not even 3GS.

Just ordered mine. And my mum's.

No. Violent people get arrested. End of story. Chances are, if they could prove it, the original protesters would all be let off without punishments on the grounds of self-defence. But violence in response to to anything is strictly forbidden by both legal and social mores in Australian society.

I don't know what BoS's rules are. Ask Rafy. I didn't decide them. I just use the forum. And there is nothing that says that BoS can't go the way of Stormfront and become a forum dedicated to anti-Islamic ideas. Just because HSC students use it for study doesn't mean you have some sort of claim...

Yes. AND THEN YOU WOULD ALL BE ARRESTED, REGARDLESS OF RACE,COLOUR OR CREED. What is so hard to understand?

You don't appear to get it. Hypotheticals are largely useless because: A) your hypothetical situations leave far too much about the individual scenarios unknown and all the minor details are important to the decision. Even if we were to sit here and iron out every single facet of the scenario...

Plenty of nationalist idiots probably would confront you and it would probably get violent. Because they don't understand the concept of freedom of speech either. No-one would be charged with anything as long as it didn't get violent (including the threat of violence) and you weren't making a...

Freedom of speech isn't overly applicable on a private forum. It's only applicable to public spheres. This is not a public sphere. This space is owned by iStudy, who own BoS. The forum owners have a right to block whatever material they like. It's a forum, not a nation. If you don't like their...

Yes. And I'm of the conviction that anyone who says elsewise is a deceiving themselves.

My method and/or philosophy is that you don't know your mind (as countless behavioural experiments have concluded) so there is no method of answering a hypothetical.

I'm not ignoring it. I'm saying any answer to a hypothetical scenario is biased and likely false, so the conclusions you draw from the answers are meaningless.

Ok then. Now we're getting places. So you die or your friend dies and you get to choose. Now i'm just going to ruin everything and say that hypothetical morality situations are stupid, because if someone holds a gun to your head then all previous assumptions about your own behaviour will be...

Wait, so if you don't permit him to kill you, he will kill you? Idgi.

No. Garygaz, Debauchee and myself all read it the same way. By way of simple majority (1 for, 3 against) the problem must be with you.
