I heard about this new device called a "Mosquito" on the news yesterday. It seems to be a deterrent to gangs, etc., by emitting a sound that teens, etc., can't stand. What do you think about this? Is it being discriminatory to teens and younger citizens, etc? Or do you think it is a good thing?

That's...unfortunate. Both sides have some valid points. I don't like the idea of such a device, but it's better than someone getting stabbed. On the other hand, if such a device were used against me and I had done nothing wrong, I would cease doing business at that store and look into the possibility of a lawsuit.

I would say I like it almost no matter what. Things like that make me laugh uncontrollably. But I've never heard it before, now that I know about it I kinda want to.XD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
