To a civilian it probably wouldn't make sense. However, it's quite sensible. The officers are not firing randomly. The maintain the tactical edge which allows the to properly direct their shots. In all the high or average round discharge cases in NYC, no bystander was ever injured or killed...

Geepers. So Liberalism is a religion. Conservativism is a religion. Being "green" is a religion. Etc. Etc. In fact, by the way you view things, all "isms" are religions. Thank... god, there are common definitions to help us properly differentiate between concepts.

NYPD uses 124gr 9mm HP +P ammo. They use it to minimize ricochet and penetration of buildings. It also has a lower probability of lethality after penetrating glass. Consider the reason for using this grade of ammo is that they are discharging a firearm in an urban environment. Lots of...

What passes for poignancy these days is uninspiring. I'm all for equal rights and protection under the law, but stop supporting scumbags. Find a clean case where a black person is clearly a victim. Sean Bell: Drunken and half blind - behind the wheel of a car, uses it as a weapon...

LOL. Yeah, yeah, I know Z. You eschew "commoner" definitions in favor of off beat, illicit ones. But still, you might have wanted to read the entire article before posting. And before some moron... erm, wise ass, eh hmm, I mean smarty pants thinks they might have a point concerning the...

Yeah, take that Turok! You filthy peasant scum! Umppph!

LOL. Almost invariably every religion that has ever existed does this. If they didn't, they'd have no frame of reference to even begin to understand their god(s). The God you go on about (assert) is incomprehensible to even yourself as is evident by your own admission of the lack of...

Of course you know that you'll be disagreed with.

You just proved my point in that it's not generic. I'll highlight where: For the word god to be generic, the conceptualization must be common among all. But that is NOT the case. Yes, there are similarities but there are also enough dissimilarities to make the gods of the various religions...

Says you. But billions would disagree. They will accuse the other religions of worshiping a false god. Ecumenical thinking is a rare thing in the grand scope of things my friend.

Don't you just love it? Sean Bell: 1. ...had less than 20/400 vision in his right eye. 2. ... his autopsy showed his blood-alcohol level at least twice the legal limit for driving — when he climbed behind the wheel that night. Well, let's see... poor eyesight and driving drunk. He...

What's the harm in admitting that a conceptualization of god has limits? How is that disparaging? If your conceptualization is that God is the highest of the high, wouldn't it stand to reason that God can do all POSSIBLE things? For instance, in relation to omnipotence, wouldn't stand...

There's some valid stuff in there. But there are also some straw man arguments. But anyway, I was late in the response game and the best compromise is a silent moment. BTW, God is not a generic term in any way. That's narrow minded thinking. There are polytheistic religions. There are pagan...

This works if and only if your conceptualization of God is that it is omnipresent. In that respect, if you say God +1, you void the concept of omnipresence. I think you just needed to add the word "omnipresent."

Z, Just come out and say it... everyone else besides you is wrong in their perceptions and conceptualization of god. Turok pointed out a valid argument. If you don't believe him, simply go to forums of each respective religion and try to convince them of what you are saying and you'll find...

Which definition would that be?

Thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm.

What if you were Muslim and they ended a prayer in school with, "In Jesus's name?" Or if you were a Hindu or Buddhist? The fairest and most efficient thing to do is to NOT have prayer in school. There is no generic prayer considering the dissimilarities between the various gods.

Configuration menus are the slowest.

And you know all this, how?
