The bigger problem is addressing the effective infiltration by $cientologi$t$ of various police farces and justice departments.
It shall be remembered that 20 years ago, the cult of $scientology was deemed a criminal organization in Ontario after it infiltrated the Ontario Ministry of Justice and proceed to trash their evidence file. The Supreme Court of Canada has also recently ruled so.
I find it pretty hilarious if "libertarian-minded" people disapprove of this, though, because these kinds of laws are a cornerstone of a well functioning market.
It should be obvious to you by now that all "libertarians" want is the opportunity to crush lesser-deserving people than them; they certainly don't care about free markets and the such, all they want is no overbearing states that prevents them from sucking the blood of less-deserving people.
I found an old Powebook 3400C in the trash that still works (battery is shot), and I proped it up on it's side and use it as a bedside e-book reader. It's neat because when I fall asleep, it will turn off it's screen automatically; I don't need to worry about closing the book and putting it on the side...:)
Once I owed some money to the tax department. I plotted my cheques on C paper.
One day, while being 15th in line at the bank, a new teller came to the counters, spotted me, and called me loud with a big smile: "Hey! Mister! We got your cheques back"!!! and she called me at the new teller window she just opened and handed me a big roll of paper and proceeded to cash my paycheque. Not only I jumped the line, but afterwards, every teller was glad to see me whenever I came to the bank...:)
I'm not defending the Iraq war. I'm just saying that on the scale of national tragedy, the number of dead soldiers doesn't even really register. The terrible leadership we have that got us into the mess in the first place is the bigger tragedy.
To put things in perspective, do we say that Roosevelt/Truman were better leaders than Shrub Jr. given the number of dead soldiers under their watch?
Or is it the goal of the war that sets the acceptable casualty rate?
It reminds me of that one time everyone jumped down the Pope's throat for something that an editorialist speculated he'd be commenting on in his next encyclical.
Please actually read the article that is linked. The French are reporting that apparently the Canadians are considering implementing this policy. That's second hand hearsay at best. And the quote included in the Slashdot article is from whomever made the original post on Techdirt.
And in any case, the system is far from being implemented in France, given the legalistic headaches involved. And, to further drive a nail into that proposal's coffin, the European Commission issued a directive specifically against such a "three strikes and you're out" policy.
Being white (well, almost ¼ american native) and having had many sexual relationships with both "niggers" and "chinks", I'll say BOLLOCKS to your racist rant. Whites are probably the trashiest and degenerate race, thanks to the abundance of useless body hair and the presence of many glands that exude filthy humours (only to be trapped in that body hair and rot there and smell).
Having to wash yourself 2-3 times aday because your black/yellow lovers finds you smelly whilst the same lover isn't is certainly not an idea of "advanced evolution".
Ernst Christof Friedrich Zündel (born April 24, 1939 in Bad Wildbad) is a German Holocaust denier and pamphleteer who was jailed several times in Canada for publishing literature which "is likely to incite hatred against an identifiable group" and for being a threat to national security, in the United States for overstaying his visa, and in Germany for charges of "inciting racial hatred." He lived in Canada from 1958 to 2000.

They are as P2P friendly as Colonel Sanders is chicken friendly.
When you don't surf, fire-up your trusty "robrowser" which will surf randomly, thus overflowing the guvmint's computers.
Cue the racist "all chinese look the same" jokes...
This is the problem with anglo-saxon, bourgeois societies such as the UK and the US.
Everything has a price tag. Everything costs something, and everyone should get something hard for everything he does.
No wonder that those countries economies are circling down the drain: long-term viability is sacrificed to the short-term gain.
It's no wonder that they so wantonly ignore their histories!!!!

Once you're out of the gravity well, everything will fall into place, and the wealth gained will be beyond the wildest dreams.
The space advocates are not there because there's simply no room for it in the political universe...

What were the scientific advances brought about specifically by the Korean, Viêt-Nàm or Irak wars???
