capitalism.txt sadly. to squeeze every ounce of profit from the forums Lowtax hired poor Taiwanese children to code the site for a nickel a day. Their little fingers have turned to nubs leaving no way to update the code.

I've read several studies where increased police PRESENCE resulted in a decrease in crime. Specifically during the 90's .

I don't am not aware of this being shown convincingly. Would you mind sharing an example of these studies?
edit- didnt see those posted. Do you have anything peer-reviewed?

The reason I am skeptical is that the stronger predictors of crime - concentrated disadvantage, social disorganization, etc. - all have effrct sizes far, far larger than variations in police presence. This is something that has been looked at, and the effect of policing on crime is negligible at best.

In other words, you may find isolated studies showing some effect of policing, but they're not going to have a meaningful effect without touching social factors.

Directed energy sounds like being hit by a Hadoken. I could see it taking some off your life bar, but brain damage seems like a stretch.
