  1. Hiya trollers!

     

    Malika, my sympathies. Once someone called me and I panicked and pretended that THEY were the wrong person.

     

    Me: maxaa jire Faarax?

    Him: No, it's Waryaa.

    Me: Naga daa dee, I know it's you Faarax! Codkaaga waan garanayaa.

    Him: What are you talking about, it's Waryaa, doesn't it say so on your Caller ID?

    Me: Let me check...

     

    I hung up.

     

    Che, you need to get more sunlight! No more hoodies, ya hear?


  2. ^But you do anyway :P

     

    Norf, so sue the filmmaker. Of course, the court may throw the case out because you won't be able to demonstrate defamation of YOUR character, but I'd wager the jury would feel more sympathy for you than for the nutter that made the film.

     

    And saying "the original purpose of free speech" misses the point entirely. The laws protecting free speech are meant to prevent the government from censoring free expression of the citizenry.

     

    If you have a problem with another citizen's self-expression, many options are available to you:

     

    1. If they are in your home you can kick them, and call the police if they refuse to leave.

     

    2. If they are on TV you can change the channel, then call the TV company to threaten to cut your subscription until they improve the broadcasts. Money talks, after all.

     

    3. If it's a close friend you can sever ties with them. They were rubbish anyway.

     

    4. If you believe that what they are saying does actual harm to you (turning potential employers against you, for example), you can take them to court. I think the UK even has fairly strict anti-libel/defamation laws, so you're golden!

     

    WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT??


  3. I just worry most of that is scripted (like the pedestrian with the umbrella). It's too good to be true if it's not. I will definitely splurge on a new gaming rig if it's half as awesome as it looks.
