Yes, even unlimited fusion will create waste heat problems. Pollution is simply too much of something. Horse shit is a valuable fertilizer but as was discovered in the late 19th century, too much is pollution. Same with CO2. Any form of transport can be polluting. Even walking if there is enough walkers as they have to shit and piss. Tribes are usually small enough that don't produce enough waste to be polluting, at least long term.
Better version would be, " When they came for the Roma, I did not speak out because I was a respectable Jew living in a free democracy". Germany was persecuting the Roma before Hitler was elected, and even now no-one speaks for the million plus Roma that were killed in the concentration camps
Amendments take considerably more effort, which is a good thing.
That's arguable. If having a Constitution that is too hard to amend just encourages politicians to write unconstitutional laws and the courts to allow it, how is that a good thing? The Constitution should be a document that the government, including the courts, follows. Not a document that is routinely ignored. Really the fix would be a Supreme Court that took the Bill of Rights seriously, then amendments would be forced. Examples include this story. The 1st is pretty clear, Congress will make no law abridging speech, which includes secrecy laws, even if they are in the interest of national security. The 2nd is also pretty clear, everyone is allowed to be armed, including criminals, the mentally unstable and even terrorists like your founders. Imagine enforcing those amendments as written and the debate on amending to allow Congress to pass secrecy laws, child porn laws, laws denying all people arms etc. Instead, because it is hard, it is ignored.
William Gates II was a lawyer for the bankers and did well enough to put a million dollars in trust for William Gates the 3rd as well as send him to an expensive school where he had early access to computers and his Mother was well connected enough to get him introduced to the big shots at IBM
Marriage is a contract between 2 people which in the past was sometimes witnessed and finalized by the only educated people around, namely religious people and sometimes just by the neighbouring people and now is usually done by a government official. Do many people even get married in church anymore?
Well if it's not an imagined persecution complex nor a problem with drugs, perhaps it's just your looks. You did mention that you have a goatee, the classic beard of evil overlords. I find the trick with strange women who look at me weirdly, or rather don't look at me weirdly but put out vibes (I do look scary) is to smile and say hi casually while keeping on going and often their attitude changes. Many women just seem to be walking around defensively and talking to my wife and to female friends, it is somewhat understandable as they are constantly getting hit upon, often in not polite ways.
My house, my rules and if you show up doing or even saying something offensive, I can decide to kick you out. My business, mostly my rules and if I post a list of things I don't allow, such as swearing, well I can kick you out. Here we're talking about private businesses (not common carriers, who can still have rules like no explosives on the railroad or only so much voltage on the phone line), who while more limited then a private residence, are still within their rights to kick you out for many types of offense.
Nipple hair hurts when you pull the tape off. The women around here wouldn't dare put tape on their nipples. As for your persecution complex, I'm not sure if you need drugs or take too many. I know when I was young and smoked a lot of weed, I started imagining that everyone was staring at me.
Considering that the blacks were quite poor, the best move was not to piss of your white customers. Too expensive to have extra bathrooms and counters? Just ban all blacks from your business,
Maybe it's just an impossible situation. Progressive policies do help people but require higher taxes and with a couple of higher levels of government also competing for those taxes there is a limit. Then there is the problem of progressive policies attracting the down and outs. If your down and out in Kansas, moving to California seems like a win, win. I doubt that anyone who is down and out moves from California to Kansas.
California is really at a disadvantage compared to Kansas. Everyone wants to live in California due to its climate while people live in Kansas because they do. Someone in Kansas who is mentally ill and homeless is going to have a tendency to move to California, more Liberal and a better climate. Someone in California who is down and out will not move to Kansas. Kansas ends up with a more mentally stable population that is not so demanding on services.
So your argument is that someone who is barely economically left of Romney and whose biggest legacy is a massive gift to the medical insurance industry (based on Romney's similar gift) also increased debt as fast as any other right winger? Though the Americans do have an advantage in that they can tax the whole world to support their debt and are willing to destroy any country that disagrees.
Yes they do. They always cut taxes faster then cutting spending, thus creating debt on the theory that if we're far enough in debt then the idea of spending money doing something about that hobo shitting on the street will be unthinkable. Of course they honestly seem to believe that hobo is there due to gods will or something and he deserves to be at a point where he doesn't understand why we don't shit on the streets.
Well Harper did leave the treasury empty after 8 or 9 years of mismanaging the countries finances. Wasn't one of his first acts to blow the surplus that he inherited from the Liberals and then borrow $65 Billion? If the country was a car, the Conservatives attitude was to sell the snow tires, never do an oil change, little well flush the anti-freeze or do a tune-up and then when someone else had to borrow money to spend on the car, scream about wasting money. The Cons did buy some nice dingle balls for that car though. Shit the Conservatives did the impossible, made the Liberals look good.
Sounds similar to arguments the NRA has been using for years. Congress is not persuaded by logic. Let's add pieces to this. If all legal encryption is breakable then criminals would use unbreakable encryption
So basically the satellite tv providers, cable, game systems and all the rest would have to use breakable encryption. Yah, that is going to work.
I'm sure they'll be exceptions for certain types of large businesses
It's not even majority rule. With 3 or more parties 34% can mean ruling over the 66% who disagree with you. Actually it can be even worse with electoral districts as the party only has to win 51% by 51% and can loose 49% by a hundred percent. The one thing worse then the tyranny of the majority is tyranny of the minority.
Well he did manage to fix the mess that was left to him, though Reagan took the credit. It's like Obama getting flack for the mess that Bush II left him while America is performing better then most any other western country. Of course not being American, it seems to me that the President doesn't have nearly as much power as he's made out to have. Isn't it Congress who passes laws and budgets?
Do you have a citation for the ice on Antarctica expanding? As far as I know, things are going to have to get a lot warmer before precipitation increases down there
Well there is evidence that Exon financed anti-nuclear groups to kill one of the better alternatives. Another oil company bought up battery patents and refused to license them to anyone who wanted to use large batteries. Then as others mentioned there is the lobbying and FUD that they spread. As long as some industries are subverting the free market, the market can't operate very well.
The carbon tax that I pay goes into general revenue and when introduced it was supposed to be revenue neutral so corporate income taxes and personal income taxes were cut. Since then we got a new government leader and the excess money from the carbon tax goes to subsidizing various industries, namely the film industry and natural gas industry. We also pay the highest price in N. America for gasoline (today, $1.14 cdn a litre) The next province over, which depends on oil for revenue has the oil industry actually begging for a carbon tax, they just want it to apply to everyone equally.
People used to really deny that having shit in your water supply would make you sick as well. At that the whole history of the germ theory of disease was full of denial-ism, often for minor reasons. Surgeon considered his blood covered outfit to be a status symbol so no way is he going to believe that cutting open dead people and then helping a birth without washing in between could cause an increase of mother/child deaths. Shit some were just too lazy to wash their hands and so denied the evidence. Of course it didn't help that the evidence was mostly statistical at first and moving wells away from cesspits cost money.
As the local meteorologist put it, 30 years is the minimum before considering weather as climate. We know there are longer climate cycles such as the Miloksevic (sp?) cycles (changes in the Earths orbit)
Just listened to a list of problems being experienced by shell fish farmers caused by the oceans getting more acid. Seems even if CO2 doesn't cause climate change, it can still have large negative affects.
Mostly true, as much due to Harper knowing the Canadian people generally wouldn't put up with that BS. I live next to a bible belt and the fuckers try their hardest to do all the same things as the American Evangelicals. Such a hateful group of people, who'd be the first ones in line to crucify Christ if he came back.
Shouldn't that be $75 a month? Government needs money and of course the rich shouldn't pay anymore tax then the average as once they have enough money, they'll become job creators. So here we are with low taxes (income that is), the most expensive gasoline in N. American, the most expensive alcohol in N. America, half our hydro bill going into general revenue, half our car insurance going into general revenue, the highest child poverty rates in Canada, the highest homeless rates in Canada, the most expensive housing in N. America (3rd in the world), the lowest minimum wage in Canada and an economy supported by and dependent on China.
