quote [ And he just happened to notice that his Taser had its safety deactivated. And being a diligent, fine, upstanding servant of the people he took it out in order to put the safety back on since we all know cops are so very reluctant to Taser people ]

This is shocking. This current wave of taser abuse can only be said to flow from some kind short-circuit in the justice system.

While eating breakfast I came across the design for a new robotised ballot counting device for the next election. It's called the Elec-tron.

Ohmlette. The breakfast of champions.

Please note: The following joke does not work if you have little to no understanding of Northern England colloquialisms. So some people may not find this funny. However due to the continuing popularity of Christopher Eccleston in international TV shows this might reach a larger audience than intended.

My friend is a homosexual from somewhere near Manchester with a very interesting talent - he can identify anything inserted into his rectum just by "feeling" the item with his sphincter muscles.

When asked to prove this in the local pub one lunchtime he promptly dropped his trousers and invited onlookers to insert a selection of random items.

First "up" was a pound coin. After a bit of wiggling he replied with: "That's a 1993 pound coin, stamped at the Scottish mint". It was exactly that.

Next in was a credit card (as well as being tactile his ringpiece is also somewhat flexible).
"That's a Visa card, it expires in August 2009 and the magnetic strip is pretty worn so it probably doesn't scan properly in older machines". Again, it was exactly that.

In an attempt to catch him out one of the onlookers, a mechanic on his lucnh break, drew a spark plug from his overalls and pushed it in with somewhat more force than necessary. At this my friends eyes flickered back in his head and he moaned: "Oooooooh....Champion".

Spot on again.

I think I might get it. However, I'm not at all familiar with said colloquialisms. Is there any explanation?

KingPellinore said @ 9:25am GMT on 19th Nov
Not being familiar with said colloquialisms, I have inferred that, "Champion," while also a brand name of spark plug, is a regional slang euuating to something along the lines of, "Awesome!"

The King is correct. Long live the King.

They should redesign the shape and color of the taser weapons. Make them .. uh.. cone shaped, with candy stripes and a stupid little gay feather on a stalk that flips up when you shoot it.

That way, it won't look cool. I swear half the reason these boneheads taser people so much is cos the tasers look cool. They all think they're fuckin buck rogers.

Make it so gay looking that they'll only use it if a bengal tiger is attacking 'em.

No no. not subtle enough.

Giant black dicks. Make them wiggle just a little bit, too.

The kicker? The glans part is the back, so instead of presenting someone with your massive black rod that will blow them to the ground, you're grabbing what will feel like someone else's dick.

Wait till The U.S. military’s microwave weapon ADS a "non-lethal people zapper" to be used as a crowd control device starts street sweeping. The next Republican Convention will get nasty. I bet some will have heart attacks, get trampled, be unable to escape and be tortured by microwaves.

This is true freedom and democracy, soon they will use sound weapons and light weapons that make you nauseous, to the point of vomiting and convulsions. Citizens stay in your houses, watch Fox news, recite the pledge of allegiance and read your bible, or we will come and torture you.

When did we surrender civilian control to our military?

And Raytheon is preparing to market an "airport protection" microwave

If that means you go away and no one else (which is what I"m wishing for) then yes I hope so.

We are under a theocratic soft dictatorship, that becomes more psychopathic each day.
No, you're not. I seriously wish you had the means to go and see what a dictatorship is like. Are things perfect in your country? No. Not by a long shot. Is Bush a fucking idiot. By golly yes. Dictatorship? Get a grip.

Some really want and work for End Times each day.

What technology. Tasers? They're here in Canada you fucking prat. I think they shouldn't be.

zeal to burn witches and heretics brought to your door
You're burning witches and heretics? where?

And to Southern Apocalyptic Christians you and your kids will be marked as liberals, something to snuff out.
How many people on the face of the Earth qualify as "Southern Apocalyptic Christians" do you figure? Like mb 100 thousand? They can mark me all they want.

To review:

You = off your meds.

Me = still (horrifyingly) largely on your side of the political aisle.

You = still attacking people who you feel aren't left/crazy enough

This shit only happens because we've become largely a mindless mass in this country. I've brought tazers up in conversation a few time around my co-workers and each and every time it ends up reduced to people quoting "Don't tazer me bro!" and laughing.

Maybe I just work with idiots, which I'm not ruling out, but its sad what we put up with.

KingTaco said @ 12:52pm GMT on 19th Nov
Those idiots sound pretty par for the course to me. I sincerely doubt the average person gives much, if any, thought to current events like the apparently recent wave of questionable tazerings (though I suspect this may be something of a media creation, at least I would hope so because otherwise it indicates a rather concerning trend). They think it's funny to see some college douchebag or a few minorities get zapped with a few hundred volts now and again. I think history has shown, on multiple occasions, that people will rationalize whatever they need to in order to get by without concern until they're the ones getting the shit end of the stick.

Now before anyone else can do it, even though I didn't make mention of any particular historical precedent, I'm calling Godwin's law. You know that's the first place your mind went to the second you scanned the word "historically". (my apologies to anyone who thought of Stalinist Russia)
