Big deal, big nothing. So now they need a warrant. How hard do you think that is to get? The FISA courts approved 11252 of 11273 requests from 2004-2011.
Sadly, this has always been true, simply less well-known and perhaps less widespread. Google, for example, Cointelpro. Yes, that came to light and was declared unconstitutional, but it's naive to think Cointelpro was the only program of its kind and that with its demise all illegal (and legal) government spying came to an end.
maybe if there were another option this user would stop, but here in NYC that's pretty much it, unless you want to get an unlimited data plan from T-Mobile or Sprint and try your luck tethering your phone.
BTW you think Democrats can "run things properly"? Ask the folks out in Rockaway or on Staten Island--Democrat mayor, Democrat senators, Democrat president, Democrat fail.
Were the settlers who stole land and water from the Indians in the US and then wiped them out also "greedy Jews"? How about the Germans who invaded and took over Poland and wiped out the Poles? Etc.
Exactly what they did with Jose Ramos in Pennsylvania today. Served 35 years, had to give an address where he was going to live when he got out, gave his cousin's address, cousin had moved without telling him, cops arrested Ramos as soon as he walked out of prison. BTW cops were sure he was guilty in the Etan Patz disappearance years ago--until someone else confessed.

Third party, fourth party, fifth party--what difference does it make how many parties there are? What's important is what they stand for, not how many of them there are. And none of the "third parties" (shouldn't at least one of them be the "fourth party"? Just shows how baked-in the two-party system is) mentioned here have any solutions that are more worth listening to than the Dems and Reps. There are lots of countries that have lots of parties. Greece, for example. Is life in Greece better for ordinary people than here?
According to Democrats, Bush II was the "worst president ever." So what does that make a president who continues his policies? The second worst-ever president?
Yet another argument for abolishing the patent system as it currently exists. Minimally, disallow the ownership of patents by corporations with more than a minimal capitalization. The purpose of patents was to encourage INDIVIDUAL initiative, not to bog down capital in endless, winner-free courtroom battles.
So, in whatever country you live in, or whatever country follows these 6 rules, the government is "better"?--more representative of ordinary people? Perhaps you could tell us where this paradise is. The UK? Spain? Greece?
That might be true if the effects of a head injury--on a bicycle in a public street--were simply a private matter. Who's paying for the ambulance? Who's paying for the cops to manage and investigate? The hospital you go to? The four-year-old child you ran into that caused the accident (not your fault, of course)? It's a public health issue. This is not to say that I think mandatory helmets are a good idea--I don't--but it's not a simple Ayn Rand-ian problem of individual rights vs. the big bad State.
If your site is that good, ask your users/site visitors to contribute. If they don't, obviously no one cares enough about your precious site, so bye-bye and no one will miss you.
Another reason to eliminate patents. Maybe once upon a time patents protected creativity, but that's so obviously not true any more that there's really no benefit to the system at all. I suspect even the biggest players would like to be out from under all this legal BS.
Really. Food prices get so high billions of people can't afford to eat. And because there's no political solution in sight they'll riot. Hard to believe. I wonder how much these guys got paid for this brilliant insight.
"Global warming" as the term is generally used is not science. It's a political program. It's true that measured temperatures are higher than the last hundred years or so. That's a fact. But the "why it's happening" is not science, it's conjecture (I deliberately don't use the word theory, because I respect theory). IMHO it's not useful to lump belief or disbelief about global warming in with distrust of vaccines. In any case the root is the same--a growing distrust of authority, especially governmental authority, as government less and less appears to be capable of solving the big social and economic problems of our time. Combine this with the dismantling of public education and what other outcome could you expect?
How do you know they're former welfare recipients? Do you mean that they're African-American? Do you know that there effectively hasn't been any welfare for about ten years?
Pardon me for asking, but if all this data is so important to you that you can't bear losing a single file, why didn't you keep it sorted in the first place?
And of course it's not the anti-vaccine parents who are at risk, it's their kids. Vaccination should be mandatory. Full stop. It's a matter of protecting children. Not vaccinating children is a form of child abuse--and not just abuse of your own child, either.
Widespread usage throughout the Ohio Valley, especially Pittsburgh. Used by college professors, and I once got a note from my bank saying "check needs endorsed." "Correct"? That's an argument we don't have the space to resolve here, but people who speak this way are not "stupid" or even "uneducated." Any more than saying "y'all" means you're stupid or uneducated. Unless, of course, you have the typical northerner's prejudice against southerners.
Add in the racial bias in profiling and the racist prejudices of some passengers (this can get you booted too if a passenger decides s/he is "uncomfortable" on the plane with you on it) and you have quite an ugly situation.

My Google Translate has it as "Sir, what you say is very likely true"--quite a difference there
