I'm amused.

thanks.

Mosio drops duplicate questions, probably only duplicates from the same person. I think it's a spam feature. So when my drop.io link sent the same formatted message every time, mosio started ignoring them.

(To rivalarrival)
To fix it, I had to use some kind of dynamic data - thus the filename "Voice_Message_Wednesday_27_Aug_11_11PM"

(To rivalarrival)
hmm, there a timer on that? I see dupes come through all the time.

(To Mangangali)
I don't know, exactly, I didn't even know it existed until about an hour ago. Jay mentioned it in an e-mail to me eariler, about the same time I was initially reporting problems! :-)

(To Mangangali)
no timer on it. a user cannot ask the exact same question twice. prevents duplicate Q's from email loops. however, two users can ask the same Q.

(To jay)
went back and looked, yeah slight differences, like extra spacing or a word added, oops :")

(To Mangangali)
no prob! i only put in the check to prevent inadvertent duplicates. if people want to ask twice, that's cool, they just need to phrase it slightly differently.

Jay mentioned it.

(To rivalarrival)
Where's the email with the info tho??

(To modcom)
I'm GLAD you asked that! I forwarded it to my drop:
http://drop.io/arrival

It looks like english... I understand all the words, but I can't brain them. I think I have the dumb.

(To rivalarrival)
screw it, start digging for that bunker.

Thanks, Jay! I'm guessing an anti-spam feature?

Yeah, I tried using it earlier, but I had fouled up the twitter notification. It should work now.

Did you even listen?? Don't be a libertarian pig head...:(

(To modcom)
i listen, i just don't agree :P

(To modcom)
Mangangali was helping me test drop.io last night. He's ok, except for being a !#!@#@! 'PUB(E).

(To modcom)
and I posted before I listened to the voicemail so :P

(To rivalarrival)
PUMA

(To Mangangali)
You listen, you do not hear...:O)

(To modcom)
Hey, I can't blame modcom, he already lives in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, but RA! you in OH, you should know better!

(To modcom)
no I listen and hear and understand. just follow a different path

(To Mangangali)
I'm only liberal cuz my Dad wnated to make sure I was smarter then you :P

(To Mangangali)
Dood, I've lived in CA, TX, MD, and OH. I like CA's politics, TX's people, and OH's weather. MD can fall off the face of the map and take DC along with it, for all I care.

(To rivalarrival)
i miss the women and the weather from cali. my hard stance is the 2nd amendment. That they have already chipped away at. Is why I have to lean towards republican. As I said before more libertarian than anything else.

(To Mangangali)
The second amendment isn't my primary concern - NRA and the right-wing whackos will ensure the 2nd never changes. I'm more worried about the separation clause.

(To rivalarrival)
And, of course, about organizations like CPS, whose SOP is to operate primarily outside of 4,5,6,8,9,and 13 amendment rights. If it was up to me, the ACLU would defend 2nd amendment protections too.

(To rivalarrival)
2nd is what they are attacking the most. Its the amendment that all the others stand upon. Gun control isn't about guns its about people control.

(To Mangangali)
Let me explain why guns don't matter. "Of the people, for the people, by the people". The entire concept that the government is in control is a myth. WE are the only real government - the WE that consists of you, me, every cop, every ATF agent, every sold

(To rivalarrival)
but if you control all the guns, then the people won't matter. :)

(To rivalarrival)
When we say "we must be able to defend ourselves against *them*, we are really saying we must defend ourselves against ourselves.

(To rivalarrival)
Even if the only guns were those in the hands of the police, they would still be under the control of the people. It is neither possible nor necessary to defend individual rights by force. Individual rights can only be defended by respect.

(To rivalarrival)
It is more offensive to me to hear that a person was detained at an airport for wearing a "Guns & Roses" t-shirt than to hear that a person killed another person.

(To rivalarrival)
the police have a duty to uphold public order and the law. Don't when the politicians create the laws who holds the power? the people or ?? I understand where you are trying to go. But we are a democracy not a republic.

(To Mangangali)
The politicians are the people. The police are the people. "They" are "Us". The primary threat is not government oppression, it is the artificial "Us Vs Them" dichotomy that the founding fathers tried to eliminate.

(To rivalarrival)
This dichotomy is the same one that allowed Feudalism - the idea that the rich held all the power, and the poor held none at all. It is a FALSE dichotomy, one that only exists because WE allow it to exist, WE perpetuate the myth that the rich are more cap

(To rivalarrival)
capable of exerting political influence because WE tend to believe it ourselves. It is only true as long as we believe it is true.

As far as guns - they have a definite and necessary purpose as far as defense of rights. But when government agents are

(To rivalarrival)
the ones violating the rights, the problem is with US for allowing them to do it. There is no defense against US - WE are the ultimate authority, and raising a weapon against OUR agents is the same as raising a weapon against US.

(To rivalarrival)
The self-defense purpose of a gun is not to defend against government agents, but to defend against criminals.

(To rivalarrival)
the primary purpose of the second amendment is to defend against an unjust and corrupt government. which include politicians and police. the us and we begin in their minds, they are the "elected rulers" How many politicos support demolishing the 2nd amd.

(To Mangangali)
but have their own ccw as well as security detail? its people control, not gun control. a disarmed populace is a controlled populace. The police have no duty to protect you. Many will, but thats not their job. only to uphold the peace.

Misanthropes of ethnic persuasions? Distancing ethics from morality? That's it, I'm building a bunker and buying guns.

(To rivalarrival)
ROFL

(To rivalarrival)
I would only have to build the bunker....

(To modcom)
no no Obama will provide you one, just follow along little children.

(To modcom)
One can never have too many guns...

(To Mangangali)
We ain't sheep, we have guns and stuff, they don't

(To modcom)
AWB was fronted by Joe Biden, and Obama follows the policy.

(To Mangangali)
man, how did i miss out on this great thread!?
oh, and the reason why we can't all just get along is because, if we did, then there would be no point to life.
besides, you know, hot pockets and video games and easy mac....

(To MkVenner)
you just go to keep current :) we all set up notifications to let us know when someone commented to each other so...

(To Mangangali)
thanks dude
though i gotta ask... is this all you do all night long?

(To MkVenner)
nope i'm usually reading forums or etc, notification goes off and I look for the answer to some random question

(To Mangangali)
man, you must really like helping people. or not have enough to do. not that i can really speak.

(To MkVenner)
And what do you mean "All *night* long"? I went to bed and Mang's notifications kept ringing. I woke up, and he was still answering questions. The guy DOESN'T SLEEP!!!
