"walmart has illegally lowered prices below cost when they go into new areas till every other business goes out of business then raises prices back to a profit level." [Citation Needed]
"Representative George Miller alleged that in ten percent of Wal-Mart's stores, nighttime employees were locked inside, holding them prisoner." Keyword: alleged. Was it proven? I doubt it, because I would imagine locking people in is against fire code, and a building cannot even be constructed to allow this. I know for a fact Wal-Mart doors cannot lock people in because I was a construction inspector on a Wal-Mart build in several locations.
"Wal-Mart has also faced accusations involving poor working conditions of its employees." "Wal-Mart has also been accused of ethical problems. It is said that the Wal-Mart employees are gender discriminated when trying to be hired and treated in the work area."
Boy, more unsubstantiated claims and accusations. Seems like people love to hate Wal-Mart. And Wal-Mart has a bunch of money, so I'm sure lawyers don't hesitate to jump on any claim at all.
All of this is still avoiding my original point. ASK A DAMN WAL-MART EMPLOYEE. If they aren't complaining, than why are lawyers and politicians complaining (*cough*cashing in*cough) for them?
I'm not in a union, and my employer isn't exploiting me. They know if they don't treat me well I can work somewhere else. I hire many contractors, and it seems that the non-union workers are happier and more productive than the union workers. What exactly is the point of a union again? To collectively bargain, or to collectively bribe?

I'm feeding the troll, I know... But Ron Paul is generally considered to be the "godfather" of the tea party, yet he encourages people to save and supports legalization of drugs. Don't let that discourage your communist rant though.
Go to Wal-mart, ask any employee if the are working under the influence of force. Do they believe they are being exploited? Unions are a relic and are unnecessary in a free economy.
I wasn't attempting to answer it myself. I personally do not believe it violates any rights to have red light cameras. However, the fact that it does not violate rights does not make me support it. Red light cameras are like speeding tickets. They do nothing for safety, they are designed to bring in police revenue. If you want to cut down on red light violations, put up the cameras, but instead of a fine, just put the driver in jail overnight. I'd bet that would stop red light running pretty damn quick.
To give you a counter example, most people probably support TSA searches at the airport, but I believe that violates my rights under the 4th amendment. I don't care how many people support it, the courts SHOULD strike it down. The fact that they haven't is the reason this nation is falling apart. The courts aren't doing any checks or balances.
And to your point, yes if 99% of people support it, and it's not in the Constitution, that's why our government is designed for amendments. And I agree with the founding fathers, 3/4 is more likely to prevent abuse than 1/2. Simple majorities can often make bad decisions.
I suppose it is debatable about the difference between increasing yellow and increasing all-red times, but I wasn't able to find a study comparing them.
Another person who believes in democracy. I don't know what local and state laws are, but most are set up as a republican form of government. In other words, it doesn't matter how many people support something if it violates your individual rights. I don't care if 99% of people support censorship if it's forbidden in the constitution. So the real question is, does having red light cameras violate your individual rights?
Actually, lengthening the yellow light probably increases running red lights as people think they have more time to get through. The better way to reduce accidents is to increase the all-red time of the intersection.
You're right, I don't have a solution. But at some point one comes to realize that everybody dies. At the end of the day, I know that if starving children are dying somewhere, that I am not the cause. If you advocate "putting them down" you are directly responsible for their deaths. I know it may sound more cruel, but deaths due to starving are not my fault. Deaths due to euthanasia would be if I were to support it.
What I am trying to say is that the poor keep spawning more poor, and the rich are spawning less rich. If the poor don't strive to become rich, we end up with everybody poor.
People believe they are in the middle class because it lets them blame the lower class for undesirable parts of society (crime, drugs, etc) and blame the upper class for their economic problems (unemployment, government debt, etc).
And idiocracy (and some statistics agree) says that those who can't feed themselves will keep reproducing if we feed them, and those that are providing the food are not reproducing fast enough to replenish their population. THAT is the real unsustainability. The number of moochers is vastly growing and the number of producers is dwindling.
I don't consider busing tables or working retail to be "working hard". Where are the people going into the jobs that Mike Rowe shows around on Dirty Jobs? There is a vast need for welders, miners, industrial painters, etc that immigrants are filling because Americans want to work in a cube, a restaurant, or a store. Hard work don't have air conditioning.
It was the dumbest system ever. I hated it, and hope it gets returned or at least improved in ME3. I basically saw it as a way to prevent me from being the sniper I was in ME1. With only 10 or so shots available on the sniper rifle, I inevitably had to run out of my cover with a practically useless pistol to find more ammo. The timed cooldown of the weapons in the original game made more sense with the physics and made for much more strategic battles as accuracy wasn't as important as your position. I also missed the varied upgrades you could do to weapons in ME1, though I do agree it was probably overly complicated, but I liked it as I could tailor my weapons based on each mission.
Also, I liked shooting randomly in ME1 to fill the long walks on alien worlds... No more in ME2, I had to conserve every shot.
First, what the hell project are you working on that needs a 14.4" board? You'd probably figure out how long your board needed to be and then decide how long of lumber to get. So you want a 1' long board and you want 10 in one piece, you get a 10' board (you'd probably need a 12" to cover the blade width, but that's not that critical on stuff you make with 2x4s). If you need 8, you get an 8' board, if you need 12, a 12' and so on. If you need an odd sized piece, say 7" and you need 15 of them, you'd get a 105" board and then round up (a 10' board). You are never going to do a woodworking project without waste. And most of the time, I round to 8ths anyways, and use a belt sander to make up the difference.
Ok, so assuming you had a fixed quantity of lumber and you wanted to know how big of equal sized lumber you needed out of it, how many times are boards cut into 10 equal lengths (which by the way, you are still screwed on getting an even number when you factor in blade width). Ok, now how many times are boards cut in half, or in 3rds, or in quarters?

High five for people protecting themselves and not relying on the nanny state to protect them!
I'm not clear on this "good/bad" thing. Are we talking cats and dogs living together bad, or complete particle reversal bad?
Actually since it will be backward compatible with the Wii, it will have to have them.
Somehow I think the real lazy asses are the union members. Oh and for your research, Penn and Teller did it for me on Bullshit! episode 51.
