If that survey had been phrased a bit more honestly, we should expect a totally different statistic.
I doubt it. Remember. If you can save just one childs life then chipping away at the second amendment is fine. 3000 dead made the Patriot Act loved. For another 150 dead I bet we can get the fourth amendment completely removed. For another 500 I am thinking they can make a case to the American People that the first amendment is "A Tool of the Terrorist and Pedo." Americans used to be strong and independent people they wanted freedom and were willing "To pay the iron price" for it. Today freedoms are good but the illusion of safety trumps it every time.
No it did not. The laws did not fix the problem. The problems started to be fixed before the law and continued to be a problem after it. The laws almost always come after the change. Laws do not normally effect change.
Simple answer. It is actually much more complicated than I am about to state. You have community "Leaders" like Jessie Jackson and his ilk telling every struggling black male that the world is against him and that his only hope to compete with "the man" is handouts. This makes men feel powerless. It harms a persons drive. With lowered drive to succeed the feds step in again with "War on Drugs". Since you have no hope of ever doing something with your life because you are "held down by the man" and the war on drugs has created a lucrative and dangerous black market you have the real war "About" drugs that results in black males committing crimes and murdering black males. Not leaving well enough alone the federal government up the amount of assistance so that you can get by if not well at least well enough without a fathers income. Since we all know that taxes and incentives modify behavior we are not only looking at black males killing each other off and those that are left are either in prison or left to feel powerless over their own success. Those left are out to have children to fill the void left by any hope at real success. The women who can now get by without a real father are as heavily incentivised to pick responsible fathers and therefore make a higher percentage of bad decisions. The children grow up being told there is no hope with no real fathers and mothers that prove the point by having to subsist on government assistance and this breeds more of the same. It really is a horrible thing we are doing to the black community. At least we feel good about it though and Jessie is making his money.
We do vote that way. Sales taxes, Gas Taxes, Sin Taxes. California is pretty bad off. No one but a few politicians and the board spending the money wants a high speed rail project. Once they found out it was going to be 3 times more expensive than they thought and that the private investors that they assumed would be there would not what did they do? Shrink it to going from one place no one lives to a place no one wants to go for more money than we approved. If you think California is doing ok then you are an idiot that will have to wait 5 years to find out how fucking stupid you are.
How about the right to build your own business and hire and fire at will? Can I fire you because you make my customers uncomfortable? If I can not then I just have to lose business? What happens when I do not have customers and have to close. Everyone loses?\ Once you have a "Right" to work for me and it is given by the government you are going to have big issues. I would much rather have businesses have a sign right in front that states in big bold letters.... "No Niggers, No Spics, No Chinks and No Fags!" How many places could a business like that operate even if you remove all of the laws it violates? Would not last where I live. Would not last where you do. My guess is that there are very few communities in the US where that would be a decent business model. So if the laws really have no effect what are they good for? Seriously. How long would a business like that last?
Again. The people changed. That is the reason racism mostly went away. It had nothing to do with Government laws. The laws are useless at best and harmful in many cases. The more federal protection a group gets the worse off it becomes later. Government attempting to fix racial injustice against the black community has resulted in the destruction of the black family unit. This has done a massive amount of damage to their community. Damage that will take generations to fix. But you go ahead and feel good about it. After all you are helping. Right?
There is a real reason for States rights. One of the things a State can not do is to prevent you from leaving that State for another. Bad States get left behind and change or die. Good States are rewarded. When you give all power to the Federal government there is only become an exparitate or suffer. California is doing a bunch of stupid stuff right now. People are moving in droves out. California is going to be hurt further as the average income of its residence goes down and the tax burden upon them climbs.
The rights you so easily give up for convenience will cost you much more in the end. I know you can not be convinced. People like you can only see the harm when directly impacts you. As long as you can go about your daily life un hindered there is no need to think deeply about what is really going on.
Ha! This is no blow for Apple. Apple is locked in with its user base.
I literally just an hour ago at work had a guy show me his new iPhone. SWEAR TO GOD. He told me it is better than "Droids". I asked him what is better about it. His answer ?... of course... "It's an iPhone."
First. Killing people and burning shit down is illegal. Do not need different laws to prevent it.
Second. You should probably attend a Tea Party get together instead of just listening to what the media tells you. Many blacks, whites, mexicans and asians attend. Also. Something I found interesting. They are mixed. There are no little groups of similar color.
Third. Calling people names and throwing out accusations only makes you look small and weak. Learn and Love AC. Much better for you.
So if I was free to open a business that would only serve whites would you give me your money? My guess is... not. When people start feeling different about race change takes place with or without government interference. I much prefer racism to be out in the open where we can see it and act on it. I do not need a law to tell me not to act like an ignorant dick. I really want to know who the ignorant dicks around me are without laws making them look like the rest of us.
Wrong! MUDS have fewer limitations. About 20 years ago I was playing a ROM II based MUD. A guy I played a lot with got stuck in a rut and found himself unable to level. He got pissed and stood in Market Square and proceeded to summon every level 1 bunny on the MUD to him and killing them. One by One. So there he was for hours pilling up dead bunny corpses in Market Square (A place many in the MUD passed through constatantly). An Imm decided he no longer wanted this going on. He created a new mob on the fly that could be summoned and then gave it massive attacks and health. Then he removed all the other bunnies on the game and left only the non aggro "Mother of all Bunnies". The guy ends up summing it and attacks and dies almost instantly. So here we are with the "Mother of all bunnies" kicking it in Market Square. About 30 regulars on the MUD logged in and grouped up with this guy. Market Square is only a couple of spaces from where you come back when you are killed. We attacked. Tanks dropped many times. I died 3 or four times and even lost a full level. At the end we all dropped out of the group and let the guy fight while we kept him healed the last few seconds. Bunny died. He leveled a few times and we all have a story that we can remember for multiple decades.
You do not need to think of any of that if you just stick a managed switch between the internet connection and the equipment. Enable the port when you want them to have access and disable the port the rest of the time. Why is this complicated? Why is it a question even? A Christmas tree light timer ??? How does the OP have a job?
Did you just link to a story about someone who was victimized by a bank for having something they were not paying for taken by the person who did pay for it?
You do not make a government powerless. You do take away most of its power "Over the People". It is the power "Over the People" that the corporations lobby the government to use against us.
I fear the people that can come into your home and take you away. I do not fear nearly as much the guy who wants to charge me too much for cable.
So. If Google is buddy, buddy. Why would they want to do things to bring these NSLs to light? Never said they were not complying. Only saying that of all the big data people out there the ONLY one I have any knowledge of fighting for us on any of these is this ONE. Take it for what you will. Or just act like a tool. Either way I am cool.

If you are working with film for a hobby why would you send out for developing.
If all you want do do is take pics then digital is fine.
It's a freakin' 100 ton assault 'mech.
It's not particularly hard to detect.
Those Atlas D-DCs with their overpowered ECM suite makes it a little more difficult.
Sure. 2nd Amendment rights have not been edited at all in the last 50 years.
Are you an idiot or a troll?
If you want real power you need to pipe dev/zero and dev/random simultaneously to dev/null. Only then can you create more power than you use.
But I have RIGHTS!
Give me happiness and stuff. NOW!

So.
Very few places. Right?

You wont get that from ANY MMORPG out today.
