You do not have the right to incite imminent violence or breach of the peace. Chaplinsky also says you can't do that through direct personal insults.

That's why I think it should apply to Fred and his clan. That's exactly what they are doing. Watch this video. That looks like inciting a breach of the peace to me.

And we all know that's their intent. They are mostly lawyers. The scam is they rile people up enough to where they react, then they sue them. That is how they maintain their funding. The plan IS to incite a breach of the peace, which is not protected.

To me, this is a no-brainer for a Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire type ruling. The story of the Chaplinsky ruling in the wiki article isn't as extreme as what the Phelps clan does. It boggles me that this ruling somehow doesn't apply to them.

There are lots of ways it can be anti-science. The best deceptions are the ones that tell the truth, completely.

For example, a can of fruit might have a label that says, "contains no cyanide!" with the implication that other cans of fruit do have cyanide, and are therefore dangerous.

Another example of 'lying through telling the truth' is Vitamin water, which put a lot of labeling that indicated their product was nutritious and good for you. Vitamins to it and all that. Nevermind that it was basically a bunch of sugar water. They got rightfully hit with lawsuits over that bit of falseness.

I'm more interested in seeing what the result of this labeling would be. Nearly every product has GMO, would that mean people give up worrying about GMO? Or would it mean suddenly people rush to find products that don't have GMO?

It's pretty funny you should ask about risk in the face of the example of underground weapons manufacture in occupied Europe. Those people were summarily executed by the Gestapo or similar agencies. Doesn't get riskier than that, and it still happened.

And as for armed women, the numbers are not ultimately important, the principle of access is. You don't count freedom on your fingers. Which one of these examples would you say to their face 'I would rather you were disarmed to salve my own sensibilities even if it meant you would have been raped and/or killed'?

Re #2: The sad fact of the matter is that (as someone living in the county) that it's well known that the BPU is very corrupt. As in former board members have resigned over rigging the pay of friends and family. There's a good reason that the county government ignored them and are trying to ram this through. See this for further reading.

Re #3: The incumbents did this to themselves. Before it was popular everywhere else, Kansas fucked its own ass by giving the cable and telcos state wide franchises and removing all of the local oversight boards. There might have been a chance to stop Google, but their greed got the best of them years ago.

Since when is Jon "Bowzer" Bauman a national threat? Perhaps the low note on Blue Moon rattles the Senator's fillings?

These people grew up here and are generally fully Americanized, have family here, friends, work, etc, but don't have citizenship. I know one family who came to the US legally on a work Visa with their young children, but it eventually expired. The family they had everything up here (a house, a job, friends, etc) and nothing to go back to.

I was just reading a local story like that. A man was brought to the US by his parents at age six, and has lived here for 20 years. He is married, has three kids, a steady job and owns his home. And is now scheduled to be deported to a country he has never known. He's not a legal citizen, but seems to be a better example than some prominent Americans. I say we keep him and his family and deport the entire Westboro clan.

As does the Bible.

Oh please, rate this guy down because you disagree.

Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version) 13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Deuteronomy 13:1-5 (New International Version) "That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you."

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 (New International Version) 14For you, brothers, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews, 15who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men

Psalm 79:6 (New International Version) 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;


or maybe its just people's interpretations of the books that are an issue...

Did you post that in the comments on TFA and then come here to post it again?

Or did you lift it from there and you're trying to pass it off as your own?

According to accounts in the British press, in December 1989, Popp sent out his diskettes to attendees of the World Health Organization's international AIDS meeting. Labeled "AIDS Information -- Introductory Diskettes," the disks contained a Trojan devised by Popp.

After a certain number of reboots, a bug encrypted the hard disk's directory, hiding all files and flashing a message instructing users to send a couple hundred bucks to a postal box in Panama. (The Guardian reports that Popp had suffered a mental collapse after being turned down for a WHO job.)

There's some question as to whether this constituted blackmail. Soon after his arrest and extradition to England, where one medical organization reported having lost a decade's worth of research, Popp took to wearing a cardboard box on his head. Soon, he was pronounced unfit to stand trial.

Stranger still, Popp had packed a leaflet with the diskettes the offered the bluntest terms-of-use statement in computer history:

"These program mechanisms will adversely affect other program applications on microcomputers. You are hereby advised of the most serious consequences of your failure to abide by the terms of this license agreement: your conscience may haunt you for the rest of your life; you will owe compensation and possible damages to PC Cyborg Corporation; and your microcomputer will stop functioning normally.''

Forget all that evolution business! Popp should have been working for Microsoft!

What's the over/under on the length of time before the labels switch back to 99 cent pricing? I'm going to guess about 3 weeks.

Roughly the amount of time it took to pull Tropicana out of its nosedive. Yes, music industry; 99 cents per song is (was) your brand.

I would rather the city have redeveloped the area while incorporating the historic architecture of KC's cattle rustling days. Our building was in perfect condition, and we would have been right across the street from the (white-)Power and Light(-skin) district (putting myself in a perfect position to become a crime boss as well). Gee, music and concerts downtown? Who ever thought of that? Oh yeah, these guys:

Or you can be the daughter of Asian immigrants in Kansas with no record and on the honor-roll, having defended yourself in a knife fight from a sexually abusive mother. And have the district attorney who used your case to catapult himself to state-wide office claim that sex abuse is a cultural issue.

Befor this, Carthage never had an issue with a bad smell. The parent post is a little off - it's not a livestock town. It is a big poultry town, and if you got a Butterball turkey, it may have gone through Carthage. However, odor was never a big problem from the poultry plants until they took the turkey remains and tried to turn them into petrolium.

In addition to the KC, MO library the Johnson County, Kansas library system on the Kansas side of the line has a similar card catalogue and hold system. They do not charge for borrowing DVDs, however, and they also have a large selection of software from foreign language tutorials, test prep, kids learning, and yes, games. Many of them are older, but I have seen stuff like the EA sports games from 2004 and the Lord of the Rings games. Sorry haven't seen any platform stuff there yet.

Both of these libraries have numerous branches and having the video and software catalogue on line is just an amazing resource. The only thing that is a little frustrating is that sometimes things are not easy to find online. Ask your librarian to help with search terms, they've always been very helpful to me. If you haven't checked out your local library lately, I suggest you go take a look. If you find your library doesn't have these kinds of materials, ask why?

Here in Canada we even had an attempt by chiroquacks to get a university to issue degrees in chiroquacktic "medicine". Thankfully that fell apart.

I blame post-modernism and the return of swing music. ;-)

Having failed to come up with a testable theory of design, and having failed to convince their scientific peers of the validity of their position, they are resorting to lobbying school boards (who are generally not very scientifically literate).

And now I find out that one of the guys testifying tomorrow (Mustafa Akyol) is a member of some crackpot Turkish organisation that has been involved in harassing and threatening Turkish scientists. And one of the pro-ID people involved in this circus (William Harris) thinks that is "great".

Congratulations Kansas, you've made yourself the laughing stock of the world again.
