    No.
    You are correct.
    Paying out more money every time some slut with a need "to be loved for who she is" is the right way to go.
    I am sure that it has no negative effects on society as a whole.
    If you think the government can do a good job raising your children, drop them off at an orphanage.

    Seriously though.
    Government should stay the fuck out of it.
    Parents should raise their children. Maybe if we did not make it free to have kids by picking up the tab for them the less responsible people would have less of them.
    If they want to have the TV babysit their kids they get the kids they raise.
    Give it another 30 years and Government will just take the children after birth and raise them. Can not leave it to parents to raise their own children.

    Well while I see your point on the whole "Corp as a Person" thing it started out so that a company could own property so that it could continue on and it made growth and continuance easier.
    Just removing person hood from corporations would be bad. You have to change the law so that corporations can own property.
    Then I would want every company to have a "person responsible" for the company. this is a person who...
    A) Makes the largest percentage of the companies profit or its largest salary.
    or
    B) The person who has control over the company as a whole.

    This person would be the one to go to prison or be put to death for the crimes of "The Company".

    Then you can yank person hood from companies.

    Not only that, but you are sending up a unit to bring down a piece of space debris.
    So are you launching an object on top of a rocket into space. Then you have to blow the aerodynamic covers off while in orbit.
    At that point the craft can latch on to one of the 2 covers now in orbit and bring it back down.

    Perhaps an international consortium of space-faring nations could claim it all and put orbits up for auction, then use the proceeds to clean it up?

    They can start by selling .com, .org, .edu, .org and .net orbits.
    Charge just enough to keep the orbits clean. What could go wrong?

    I am cool with the iPhone 5 not having a top tier camera.
    But maybe they should not have touted the new lens cover as having the ability to deliver crystal clear images.
    Do not advertise that which you can not deliver. If you think that telling people how awesome your camera is and then pointing to a lens cover that will throw a purple flare on images that have some light source in them and telling people it will deliver crystal clear images I have only two questions for you.
    One. Do you think it is ok for HTC to lie to you about their products?
    Two. Taking into account the answer from one. Do you realize that your ability to critically think has been compromised by your love of Apple?

    You must remember though that he is locked up in the state of California.
    Because of recent goings on here almost no one on parole in the state can be locked up for parole violations.
    Only new crimes. Now probation is a little different and on the county level. But seriously. If we are not going to violate parolees in the state then putting a guy in jail for a simple probation violation just would not ever happen with anyone but this guy.

    He is locked up right now because people with power found it to be to their advantage to have him locked up. No other reason.

    So why exactly do we need to buy airtime in Pakistan to let them know that the actions of some guy making a movie are not official US government policy?
    Will explaining this to anyone who needs it explained to them change a mind? Just one mind. Not looking for miracles here.
    It is my belief that it will not change one mind in Pakistan. Not one.
    The fact that the government feels the need to do this is not as you rightly stated apologizing.
    It is a bad attempt at pandering though. Pandering that has no hope of working and that can only make the US federal government look weak and ineffectual.
