The proof is in their incessant whining. The big time drug dealers already knew all the legal ways they could be tracked. If they learned of any new ways then those new ways were illegal. You can lick the boots of the police state all you want, but the rest of us are going to fight it in every way we can.
The military gets something which is claimed to be health-care, I do not think it really qualifies. If your problem is not blatantly obvious and cannot be blamed on a lesser temporary problem you do not get health-care, you get Motrin, a cover story in your medical record, and get sent back to work with the implied threat that if you challenge the doctor's diagnosis you will hate your life for the entirety of your military career. In the military you can actually be sent to prison for going to a doctor for a second opinion, under the premise of disobeying a lawful order.
You raise a very valid point.
There are many things that can be found on torrent sites which have never been put up for sale at all. Things like live performances, songs recordings which have never been released, and many other things. There would be no access to these things otherwise.
It follows well with my view of the "there are no girls on the internet" rule. There are no girls on the internet because on the internet there is no gender unless you explicitly assert it. When you assert your gender in a genderless environment it is done for some kind of advantage over others. There are exceptions to this, like dating sites, or where gender is relevant to story ect, but usually there is no need whatsoever to be concerned with the gender of another on the internet.
When it comes to race in the real world the same should apply. It is however, a lot easier to describe a small black man in a crowded room full of white people by mentioning that his skin is in fact not white.
I agree fully with your post. In fact there are many areas of science where the theory has become a religion and anything that contradicts the theory is derided as being "not scientific" or immediately "discredited" without any test of the data or new theory.
Even worse there is the medical field where the outcome of many studies is based solely on who is paying for it. Most of them being conducted in secret and the results only ever being published if the study supports the interests of the funders.
No, they couldn't find the entire wealth of their employees in their couch cushions. It is impossible to find a negative amount of money. Their employees total wealth is a very large debt which most of them will never be able to pay off.
Oh don't worry, you are already designated as a terrorist. We are all already designated as terrorists by our government. Have you never read the memos to the police departments outlining how to spot one? It is almost impossible to not be on that list! Also you are really fucked if you happened to volunteer for the military, ex-military are at the fucking top of the list and deemed to be most dangerous.
* allow no more than 50% of the workers in any department to be H1-b's
* make the minimum wage of those H1-b's be the average of all workers in that department.
This way the H1-b's cannot skew the average pay within a company, and since they are "so much more qualified" they are required to be paid as such. This would also keep them from being used as expendable labor which can be abused without consequence, making the work environment better for them and everyone else.
I bet there would be less than ten applications a year for the entire country.
Hey look, someone who doesn't have their head up their ass!
You must be from northern Europe. Sweden or Norway by chance? Those are the only places I know of in the world which have a reasonable justice system.
"The radio is not a radio any more, it's a control unit (in many cases) and it changes powertrain and suspension settings."
Which it should never be!
A car stereo should be a car stereo and nothing more. It should have absolutely no communication to the rest of the car. Passive receive only connections would be fine in order to display some statistics about the car, but allowing the stereo to transmit data to the control bus is pure idiocy.
The idea of having wireless connections is not really a bad one, as long as it is implemented correctly.
You can't have the communication directly between the cellular chip and the control bus, there must be an intermediary which is only capable of passing the implemented commands, confirmations, and nothing else. It should have no networking ability whatsoever.
No, not as poorly as you think.
A friend of mine uploaded a slightly blurry, low quality picture with about ten people in it recently. It auto-detected everyone but me, and the only reason it didn't detect me is that I do not have a facebook profile.
The drug dealers you reference are protected by the CIA since they are an extremely large source of the revenue stream used for the black budget projects which the government hides all information about at all costs.
The MPAA and the RIAA are large campaign contributers to both political parties. They paid for and wrote our current copyright laws. Their money also has a large influence on how and when those laws are enforced.
So, would you like to enlighten me as to what country is currently invading the United States to justify assassination lists and indefinite detention?
The simple fact is that our country is the one who has invaded many countries in the middle east with absolutely no real justification for any of them.
They are not the terrorists, we are. Until you can admit this you are nothing more than a pathetic enabler.
Yes, I was going to post this one if nobody else hadn't.
Americans see our history through rose colored glasses as they read a highly redacted version of it where all the parts that could be criticized are removed.

What?
Don't you know you have to pirate that to get it?

Yea, no joke. Our system is fucked, and it is only going to get worse before we have no choice but to destroy the system.
I fully agree with you here!

The current state of science is a disgrace!

I wish I had mod points for this!
I say you are all full of shit!
It isn't a human until it is fully self-aware. Until that point it is no more than a parasite.

If they didn't still have commercials I would be all for it, but they just can't resist that extra revenue stream.
I assume the midget you speak of also has his finger hovering above a launch button and wears a yamaka.
How about this as a disincentive?
* allow no more than 50% of the workers in any department to be H1-b's
* make the minimum wage of those H1-b's be the average of all workers in that department.

Sadly you are correct. We have had nothing more than political theater for at least the past 50 years, likely closer to 100.
"EXTREMELY"
I think the word you are looking for is "COMPLETELY"
I agree, throw them all in prison for life.
Hell, a friend of mine made an 1/8 carat diamond in his kitchen, several actually. He was having problems making one larger than that though.

Please allow me to make sense of it for you then.

Not at all true. You should read this, particulary "Overthrow of 1893" and "Annexation":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...
TLDR: Rich Americans overthrew the monarchy in Hawaii then signed the treaty to annex it into the US.
