I liked URF, I play mostly ARAM these days but when I play 5s I do mid or top.

Ferguson, MO protests and police brutality.

Actually, the cop is very likely fine. Have you seen the autopsy report or bothered to hear anything about it? There were no signs of a struggle. Mike Brown was shot on the inside of his arm and the top of his head, among other places, indicative of him being on his knees/sitting down with his hands up. He had no gunpowder on him, meaning he was very likely not shot at point blank or was in a struggle for the gun. Did you bother getting a source on the x-ray of Darren Wilson's broken eye socket? Did you see a date? It was from 2008, and was photoshopped with the date edited out. I am personally appalled by your behavior and apparent police state mentality. I'll just step out alongside Rare now.

Actually, according to everyone who did the autopsies your statement is not true and the autopsies did not reveal if there was a struggle.

"But if you have such reagents then simply use them. Do not take me for a fool little pet," he emphasized the last word as he responded to her, matching her stare trying to shatter her will in this test, "I know of the great wizards, the ones with with a flick of the wrist and a granule of dust could turn that wall behind you to so much rubble. Wizards who could turn invisible or into gas, ones who could simply fly away from any threat. Tell me," he brought his head down closer to hers trying to fill her vision with nothing but his face, "how could such a fearsome wizard as you who could wipe me away in an instant be caught so easily? Where are your minions? Where is your spellbook? Where are these reagents you claim to have hid so well?"

His smile grew broader at this, "surely you do not forget it was only moments ago that I saw you stripped bare to the world? I watched you then and you excited me then, just as you excite me now," At that he took his left hand from the wall and moved to run a single finger down her jawline, "Simply admit your weakness, admit your mistake in opposing me, and when I break free from this place I shall return to you your precious book of spells so you may use them to aid me. If you particularly please me I will even keep you on as a concubine as I bring the glory of Urgathoa to this world for she gives me the power of my spells freely."

Any thoughts on your race or species?

Assallya and I are currently having a RPing moment while our characters sort things out and get each other's measure.

Anyone Else Remember When Cracked Was Good?

It seems to be getting kind of ridiculous with how preachy, up their own ass, and self-fellating their articles have gotten instead of actual comedy articles.

No problem, sorry about taking so long and it being so barebones.

The UK's gun crime percentile is low because firearms in the UK are heavily restricted; if anything, they're borderline outlawed. The idea that firearms are the primary tool utilized for committing violent crimes in human societies is largely a myth. If people are going to commit violence, they're going to do it a firearm. Additionally, when population adjustments are implemented, the UK is more violent than the United States:Humans are inherently violent creatures. Our ancestors have been kicking each other's asses and the asses of other animals long before gunpowder was even a thing.The militarization of America's police force is not going to solve anything. It's only going to make things worse, because you're going to begin to see more Ferguson-like cases as time goes on. The FBI site I linked above actually shows a downward trend when it comes to violent crime in the US.

is that based on UK, US, or mixed definitions for violent crime?

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/violent-crime/violent-crime

"In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses which involve force or threat of force."

murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are the tracked crimes for the FBI.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/116226/user-guide-crime-statistics.pdf

"Violent crimes are those where the victim is intentionally stabbed, punched, kicked, pushed, jostled, etc. or threatened with violence whether or not there is any injury"

In the UK they do not track the specific offenses as much. This means that something in the US like simple assault would not be considered a violent crime while in the UK it would be.

Your citation of the UK being more violent is a common misconception based on using the same term in two places with slightly different meaning that greatly alter the information provided.

Her basement dweller boyfriend needs to let go...or get a real doll, name it Zoe and work out the angst there. Something like that. What a putz. And oh Internet, you're putzes too for going along with one kiddult's thwarted relationship rage.edit: And before anyone accuses me thus, no I don't want to sleep with the woman. Never even knew who the hell she was until I did about a half hour's worth of background reading on the whole dust-up. Not my type. But yeah, it's rather fucked up to assume that someone defending her must want to stick it in.

One of the problems is a decent number of her prominent defenders in the community already stuck it to her apparently.

Personally I did not care about this at all until sites for charities started getting taken down, my initial 5 seconds of research showed Zoe to be a drama queen and when I saw a 4chan board on the other side of the debate figured this was all just internet drama and gave it a pass.

edit: I still do not particularly care but recent events made me look into it and do actual research to figure out what the hell was going on.
