Find a really big magnet. Like, maybe one of those ones used to pick up car wrecks. Magnets and hard drives, not a good mix.
Dangle your hard drives over them on a string, swaying them closer and closer and scream maniacally. Drool a little.

It'll be just like the bat signal shining over Gotham's night sky.

In... 1997 I think... a mad nutter wrote a letter to the editor to Critic down here. And then decided to change his mind and wanted it pulled.
However Critic had already sent the publication away to the printers, and wasn't going to reprint because someone changed their mind on a letter.
So come Monday morning, mad nutter turned up with a trolley, followed the distributer around campus, and took every copy of Critic he could. I think he had about 3000 out of a print run of 5000.
The OUSA Media Officer finally got to use his half-a-law-degree to some use and went out and argued with the nutter for half an hour as to why he couldn't steal Critics. Eventually the manman conceded and turned over his trolley.
It lead to an interesting discussion as to whether you can 'steal' something that is given away free. Apparently in a legal sense, you can if you take all of them, because you are depriving someone else of them, and because advertisers have paid money to have their adverts distributed, so free things have value.

Yes, that right is reserved by AUSA, who about 10 years ago glued shut the first two pages of Craccum to prevent students from seeing an ad by Lion Breweries for an event in competition with the DB sponsored Orientation festival ...
Without saying that's a good thing, it's not anywhere near a similar situation.
AUSA own Craccum, if they don't want to advertise things that compete with their own events, they can. If they want to do it so late in the stage that they have to glue pages together...
No doubt Lion Breweries can find other ways to reach students.

Subsequently someone tried to, in a but-I-didn't-say-it-was-about-anyone-specific way, read out the dictionary definition of 'slippery'. Which was ruled to still be an implication, and out of order,
Cue complaints about the dictionary being ruled out of order.
The salary of these people should be much more closely tied to the minimum wage.
Or maybe just docked for every minute they waste in the house.

Kyle it's not fair to ask Mark to argue with Lingers words
Eh? The quote is from his posting.
What's the issue? what was world war 1,2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq.
The comparison between various countries sending soldiers off to die in foreign wars, and the Chinese government (or any other one), killing thousands... or millions of its own civilians as part of a political programme, lacks a little validity.

This is seriously a great result. Seriously, how long before Cunliffe is no. 2 on Labour's list?
About the same time he becomes deputy leader of the labour party I'm guessing.

But putting it in those words seems to expose a disconnect between (i) and (ii); how do they form a coherent argument?
And neither of them relate at all to a defence of the statement "the greater good of the masses is the priority" in relation to killing citizens, which was my concern.

It always seems ironic that the USA is the country that sometimes feels its their job to spread democracy to the rest of the world.

I'm simply contending that; those antagonized by free media into presuming those administered state media suffer the same media addiction and wholesale unsophisitication, could consider increasing their salt intake before espousing the malignancy of state media.
Way to make little sense through excessive use of big wordage.
