Completely agree. He should have shot her in the head, not in the shoulder.















Okay that was going a bit far. Almost no one deserves to be shot like that but we don't know the full story here.

So... you're saying there's circumstances where it'd be ok for a shop employee to be shot at point blank range by a falsely-bearded man? :?

Scenario:
- you are the bearded man
- that woman did a hit'n'run on your wife
- because the kids were witnesses, she killed them too
- because there was no cctv/witnesses other than you, she gets off scott-free
- your family is dead because of her
- you own a gun and a fake beard

What would you do?

It's an extremem example, but there are certain scenarios where it would be understandable for someone to take another's life like that.

So, Punisher story lines aside, revenge killings are never the way forward.

Do you think it would be more OK if the beard was real?

False beards may be a fasion faux pas, but I personally think the shooting was the greater crime.

This place doesn't have RSS, Dennis does, he doesn't browse the forums unless the RSS tells him there's an update.

There should be some RSS add ons for this version of PHPBB, there certainly were for the previous iteration.

I do most of my browsing via RSS these days. I tend not to view my favourite sites unless there is something worth reading. Google Reader FTW! (works at home and in work!). RSS would be really handy here.

I have a lot of RSS feeds set up too. If this site did RSS, it would be added to the queue too (especially if it threaded conversations properly unlike another one I am on and bloody well should do knowing who set it up).
