Yikes. My first thought upon reading this was how quickly this technology will be misused by governments. "You don't want to join our political party? How about a thousand years to think about it?"

I'm also concerned because the motivating factor here seems to be revenge. I don't think a pill is going to deter crime, unless the media is allowed to REALLY show its savage effects on one's psyche. Once a person goes through that level of torture, forget about re-integration into society. Their mind is probably broken, having been dislodged from reality for such a perceived time that reality will no longer seem real.

So... yeah, I agree. This is a terrible idea that needs to never be invented.

On the bright side, maybe that'll mean a partial church collapse and this cycle of stupidity can finally start ending...

Aw who am I kidding, it'll never end.

Oh HELL yes. Military protest at his funeral would be all kinds of awesome. And ironic, I think.
 
Re: In today's news...

I'm reading all of the comments on that article. Wow, he's got a lotta(not totally undeserved)backlash.

I mean, picketing the funeral of a tortured and dead openly gay student and disgracing the poor guy and his family further after he's been brutally maimed for his sexuality? Look, I accept Christianity into my life and all to some small degree since my family is a long line of tolerant religious folk, but I share many of the sentiments on that page.

Talk about a horrible person with a horrible family.

To be fair, it was a organization entirely built around intolerance, bigotry, and trying to keep a dying concept alive. They were entirely based around sensationalism and pretty much at every turn tried to do things to get the press to notice them. Yaknow, 'LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I'M IMPORTANT!' kind of attitude.

I say it's better to just let them fade away into obscurity, though I too would find it humorously fitting to put a MASSIVE LGBT and military family protest on the day of his funeral at the sight.
 
Re: In today's news...

Well, he's gone at least. One less idiot picketing the funerals. Sadly, there will still be more doing the same. At the least, lets hope his last moments aren't painful

And some more news on internet censorship, this time courtesy of Israel

I'd like for people to just stop trying to censor the internet now, if we have to take every government and view into consideration then there wouldn't be any websites left.

Edit: Here's some sort of vague, but possibly interesting news on the moon connected to omens and such, for the Jewish people

Turns out, there's some really bad omens for Israel/the Jewish people coming 2014-2015

wins. He has stones the size of the moon. Putin's regime might kill him tomorrow, but in my book, he's still a winner.

Words cannot describe...this guy, this fucking guy. And here I thought I'd seen it all. You always think that, then stuff like this happens. God I love people at times.

. Holy shit. I don't know about you people, but the day a fucking shark bites me is likely to be the same day that I shit my shorts and cry for Mama. This guy fought off the shark with a fucking knife, sewed his own leg together, and went to the bar for a beer with his buds.

You know, looking at that article, I'm starting to wonder whether or not his and his family's existence was a necessary evil. I mean, damn...when fourty states pass a new law in retaliation to shit YOU did, you gotta admit you're fucking up your own agenda. But at the same time, it helped spread MORE tolerance like wildfire due to how unreasonably intolerant he was.

I'm still kinda pissed at the whole notion that they couldn't be sued due to the first amendment for being an official church, even when the article noted that they were more like a private organization that controls its membership and lives the knight templar way.

Love how they're not having a funeral for the man. Because the hypocritical bastards likely couldn't take their own medicine.
