The latest constitution recognizes even more rights, including private property ownership; but, it use one loophole, article 71 I believe, to give the state the power to annul those guarantees.
Actually China does recognize the right to free speech, in their constitution in fact; they just choose to violate that right of their citizens in the name of national security.
You know, I'm tired of this old less pirates == more global warming crap. There are not less pirates now. There may be less eye-patches, but South East Asia and Africa have a *huge* pirate population. So if it isn't the pirates, what is it?
Ninjas.
Yes, I know, you're a bit sceptical. But really. Do ninjas use cars? Do ninjas use hairspray?
NO!
Everyone blames global warming on the US; let's put the blame where it really belongs: JAPAN!
When was the last time Japan produced a significant number of ninjas? That's right, you can't tell me, because they haven't produced a real ninja in *YEARS*!
So, Japan, I'm calling you out. Fuck the Kyoto treaty, we need the Ninjyoto treaty.
Nah, we wouldn't have to deport them; as soon as they see us letting in people from other countries legally they would return home and then come back across with all the other people that are getting registered.
But I think the real question is how much an effect it being illegal to cross the border really has on immigration. By this I mean: If we completely took away all border and immigration enforcement what would be the difference in illegal immigration? If we look at filesharing we can see a rough analogy.
File sharing is punished at a rate aproaching zero in the US, and regardless of what you think about the morality of it, the practice of it is wide spread. Now imagine if we were to make filesharing completely legal, but everyone who has files that they DLed before this change has to erase them. If we assume, for the sake of the analogy, that it is possible to enforce this erase requirement then I think it is easy to say that everyone would go along with this.
Shit, I think there are more filesharers than immigrants in this country, lets all get out in the streets.
The more strict piracy and copyright law is the more likely people are to use alternatives. If piracy of windows was completely and totally stopped many people would simply be unable to afford the OS and thus would switch to a free alternative.
This is such a bullshit arguement. What you are really saying is that you support the status quo. If you really thought that there being illegal immigrants was the problem then there would be an easy solution, declare them all legal, poof, no illegal immigrants.

You have no idea who is in Gitmo.
In fact, there were civilians, which means that the US is guilty of civilian kidnapping. So by your rationale it's ok to torture american soldiers.
The point is that they must be treated as prisoners of war.
How can so many people miss this?
Terrorists are not legitimate soldiers, but these guys aren't terrrorists. They were captured on the field of battle in Afghanistan.
Who do you think is in Gitmo?
Indeed.

You forgot all the fun possibilities of an Indo-Sino war that we would likely be dragged into.

Actually, women should focus on kicks and grappling; they have an advantage in lowerbody strength.
Yepp, and all conditions equal, the heavyer stone will fall fall faster to teh ground than the other one.
What world are you from?
And we all know how often ninjas(ninji?) stand in well lighted area.
Look, I'm with you; but this law would not have anything to do with copyright, only with requiring DRM on *all* music streams. Yes, it's that bad.

Step the fuck up Japan!
Non-major label music copyrights. Everything recorded or written is copyrighted, some people just choose to be dicks about enforcement.
Does airtunes have DRM? Cause this would make it illegal if'n it don't.
Where do you live? Because all of the south-western states used to be Mexico.
Or did you forget?
P.S. Not to forgive the atrocious history of the Catholic Church, Spain or Portugal. They were really fucking horrible.

Yeah, they teach us the way politics really works, not some fluffy bunny, happy go lucky bullshit.
And the creative commons gets bigger and bigger;)
That's right, it is.
But not for the reasons you'd expect.
It's because a lot of russian mobsters faked papers that said they were jewish so they could move to israel.
In a way, I think the very acronym, RTFM, is snobbish but that's just from a person who was deeply involved in the OS Wars in the mid to late 90's.
Oh, I remember the OS wars. I lost a driver and my mouse finger back then. I try not to think about it.
You been hangin' out wit' the *wrong* boobs.
Buy your kid a bike and tell him to ride over to a friends house to play video games.
Then tell him he has to ride back every hour to check in.
Hmmm. OK, wait til he's 9 or 10.
'Unhealthy' foods just tend to be higher in calories than their 'healthy' cousins.
This is true, but more importantly you need to eat less healthy food to get your required vitamins and such, which means eating less in general.
maybe he should work in that field.
Or shouldn't work in that field even.
