The way I see is this: Guns cause death and suffering. Chemical warfare cause death and suffering. What's the difference beside obvious pollution scenario?

Chemical weapons are banned by the Geneva conventions (which Syria has not signed) but most guns aren't (the smaller bullet calibers are, though).

@ak:
I actually failed the "easy" exam. >_>
They asked very detailed stuff. It was totally different than I thought it would be. And they had these multiple choice questions where you lose points if you get it wrong.

That's not the point. Guns cause just as much damages as chemicals does to the PEOPLE. I don't give shit if Geneva Conventions banned it. I don't give shit if Russia been holding UN back. I don't give shit if USA or other countries are "scared" about going in to stop the oppression from the regime at least last year. We had a chance to help these people in Syria and we didn't.

That's what I feel about this whole fucking mess in Syria.

Well dammit. Will you be able to get a make-up exam for this?

Yes.
In about 6 weeks.

It's ok, though. It only means I need a supervisor when working in a cell culture lab. After I pass the exam I can work alone. I will need help with my experiments anyway.

Two cases of broken left arm

One more and you will have a Karma arm.

Karma arm...

Apathy/disinterest is rather annoying, especially when you have so much to do.

I rather not lose my left arm, I need it for gaming and drawing

EDIT: The whole payment (or non-payment) situation with GreenManGaming is gotten beyond ridiculous. For some reason, their purchase system is having trouble accepting my cards for the last three days. My TWO ABSOLUTELY VALID CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS. And their support system is crap as I am getting zero response for last two days. I am reaching the point where I am making one last call to see if they want my money or not. If not, fuck them and their terrible service. I am taking my money elsewhere.

EDIT 2: Well, what do you know. Situation is resolved that nice someone at the support service solved the problem with my Credit Card! My Debit Card didn't works since I have gotten another error (a different one this time, but still an error. At least they tried.) So, yay!

I was eating a paella, and a drop of saffron just jumped into my left eye. Now I see everything YELLOW! AAAAAAAAAAAgh

[Oleander]

Did you know that saffron is the most expensive spice in the world?
