Parroting the lie that "rehabilitation does not work" is getting EXTREMELY old. The sexual reoffense rate after ten years for all categories of sex offender combined (be it rapists, child sexual abusers, pornography possessors, or statutory rape convictions) is 6%. How much is 6% of 600,000 sex offenders? How much of the 310 million people in the US is composed of sex offenders that will reoffend within ten years? 600,000 * 0.06 = 36,000 reoffending persons within ten years of release.

That's 0.0116% of the total population of the United States that is a convicted sex offender that will reoffend sometime in the next 10 years, or to put it another way, about 11.6 out of every 10,000 people per year becomes a sexual recidivist.

700 children are injured daily in car crashes, 2000 are killed yearly. When it comes to risk management, focusing on convicted sex offenders is fucking stupid; it is as effective as putting a single stitch in a chainsaw wound.

but my stock grants have always had a "fair market value" attached to stock grants, even pre-IPO stock.

Depends on whether you receive stock, or stock options. Pre-IPO, you couldn't have received 'stock,' you would have received stock options, that is, the option to buy a certain number of shares at a certain strike price, either set at time of award, or set at time of vesting - depending on the grant. Stock options are worthless - and thus tax-free - until and unless you exercise them, and then you only pay the capital gains tax on the difference between the stock price when you sell, and the strike price the options were granted at.

If you were given a stock grant - e.g., actual shares of publicly traded company stock as a bonus or something like that, then that would be treated as income, and you would be taxed on the monetary value of the stock grant at the stock price on the day of the grant. You may still owe capital gains on those if you sell them for a profit.

If you were awarded a mess of stock options a few weeks before an IPO at a strike price of 23 cents, and the stock was then sold at 40 dollars a share, the IRS would not have any issue with that so long as you paid your taxes. The SEC *might* take an issue with that, as there are certain rules and requirements that companies have to obey as they near the IPO issue date, but a private company can do whatever the fuck it wants to with its equity, and if it wants to hand a bunch of 18 year old kids a million dollars worth of company equity... it can do that.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but your story really suggests that you've never earned, much less exercised, a stock grant or a stock option, since you don't seem to know what the fuck you're talking about.

And amber lights are never set too long or too short, right? Or local cash-strapped governments never shorten the amber light time, do they?

There are places that one can't go with short-shorts on. And I've definitely been kicked out of restaurants for wearing a tank top.

If you tried to walk into a suit-and-tie restaurant, I'd rather expect that.

Different social situations call for different levels of attire. If a restaurant wants to portray an image of being more upscale, you can bet they're going to have some form of a dress code posted. I doubt it has anything to do with religion.

There are new testament passages that certain Christians interpret as meaning that women should never wear jewelry or makeup.

Reverend Lovejoy: "Y'ever sat down and read this thing? Technically we're not even supposed to go to the bathroom."

Paul swore in the new testament that women had to wear head coverings while praying, which you see more often in South American Catholic communities.

Which may have little to nothing to do with christianity - Greek and Roman and Jewish cultures at the time all prescribed head coverings for women, especially in religious events.

And let's not get started on Catholic School dress requirements.

Or the Japanese uniforms? Or are you referring to Rule 34 fetishizations? Seems that school uniforms are rather ubiquitous - and downright similar - throughout the world. As if the arguments had been gone round and round quite a few times...

Even if Virgin doesn't allow people to bring their own device (BYOD?) it isn't the only service provider that supports mifi 2200s. That eBay link I already provided listed them from Verizon and Sprint as well. The Wireless MiFi -A Product Review lists others such as ATT, T-Mobile, and Orange.

However you bring up a valid point, locked hardware. These should not exist, buyers should be able to use whatever service provider they want when they buy a device. That is unless there was a contract such as providers offering free or reduced prices if the buyer signs up for 2 year service plans. Even then though after those 2 years the owner should still be able to use another service provider should they so choose.

You can't drink the water in the USA without getting horribly sick. Go out into the woods and drink some spring water. You're at risk of getting some nasty bacteria.

Oh, and once you're far enough south in Mexico, Mexicans don't drink the water. And the times they can it's only because MEXICO ALSO PURIFIES THEIR WATER!
 
Most Homo Sapiens cannot safely drink water that hasn't been purified anymore. Especially standing water. Flowing water is lower risk, but still not a guarantee.

Filament for Light Bulb
Lewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882? No!
English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting. From 1880 onward, countless patents were issued for innovations in filament design and manufacture (Edison had over 50 of them). Neither of Latimer's two filament-related patents in 1881 and 1882 were among the most important innovations, nor did they make the light bulb last longer, nor is there reason to believe they were adopted outside Hiram Maxim's company where Latimer worked at the time. (He was not hired by Edison's company until 1884, primarily as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigations).

And yet the statistics suggest it's not a stereotype but that it's a fact. Of course, the figures tend to be for entire countries or regions, it's more than possible that you live in an area of the states with lower than average obesity or that the places you visited had higher than average obesity rates than the rest of those countries, but overall the world is generally getting fatter and North America still tops the scales.
