This is genuinely loathsome, and yet more proof that ignorance is no excuse when a parent offers up private informatioÂn about their children.
Let's be clear: You have no right to give up ANY private informatioÂn about your children without making very, very sure there's a good reason to do so, and that such information will be used within explicit, clearly defined limits. When your children are adults, they'll have to live with decisions you make about them now. That's especially true of informatioÂn that will allow interested parties who DO NOT have your child's best interests at heart to assemble a profile on them and target them every minute of their lives.
I guess we have to whip out that classic post-9-11 meme again, except this time without the irony: "If this is what we've come to, then the terrorists have already won."
On a more practical level, I'd suggest that people wishing to be hired or recertified close down their Social Media accounts. When asked to provide access to their Facebook account (or whatever), they can answer with complete honesty that they don't have such a thing. After the interview has been conducted, and after a suitable period of time, they simply open a new account.
My grandmother used to know the bible very well. When they started quoting scripture at her, she could throw it right back at 'em...and in more detail. It wasn't long before she was in that "ignore" list.
When I see them coming up the driveway, I just make sure to answer the door naked. Works just as well, and it's quicker.
So this general takes credit for a virus that could still be working silently away, screwing the Iranians at every turn, if it had been competently written.
I think I pretty much covered that in the "level of crazy" sentence. My personal belief is close to what you said...that there's not much to choose between organized groups of people who get together periodically to engage in the exercise of self-delusion.
It's too bad Slashdot made the (difficult) decision to remove that comment, but at least they went down with guns blazing and provided lots of links to places the content could still be found.
It's always been a mystery to me how an organization that is so clearly a cult managed to get status in the United States as a legitimate religion. I'm willing to argue 'til the cows come home that all religions are cults, but there's another degree of crazy the Branch Davidians, the Peoples' Temple, the Scientologists and others of that ilk have managed to achieve.
In fairness, TFA says only space isn't necessarily the greatest place to make babies. Inhabitants of the United States may be surprised to learn that some people have determined sex has a rather significant recreational component.
You're completely wrong. That's anything BUT a straw man argument. Every news channel discusses such issues in exactly the way I described, when they are topical. An American example concerns the effort of certain states to force the teaching of "Intelligent Design" in science classrooms. Inevitably, that argument centres precisely on why Evolution is a legitimate scientific theory, while Intelligent Design is simply religion traveling under false colours. I saw that example on a hard news show, by the way.
And my point about the lopsided death toll, I note, stands unargued.
That way, unfortunately, lies the error of false equivalence, if not worse. For example, the death toll of innocent civilians on either side of that dispute is so incredibly lopsided that to imply any correlation is grossly inaccurate.
And then there's the US practice of getting a scientist and a fundamentalist preacher to argue the merits of the Theory of Evolution. There is no "truth somewhere in the middle". There is a valid scientific theory, and there is primitive superstition.
BBC features have a bit of a bias, but the hard news is straight-up, objective journalism. Your claim that Murdoch, whose media have been proven to slant and misrepresent hard news, will provide "balance" us complete, utter bullshit.
Thanks for the info. Maybe it was machine guns they insisted on (which would have been available with the pod add-on). I remember reading about the situation in passing as part of some research I did on the evolution of air war.
If I recall correctly, the F-4 originally mounted no guns. When it was offered to the Israelis, they had to demand that they be incorporated into the planes slated for them. In action in Viet Nam, American pilots also learned how stupid this concept was, and remedial action was taken.
I don't mind metamoderating when called upon. Too bad it isn't working (from my perspective) anymore. No little + - to click...nothing. It's just like a regular page.
I have no idea what the problem is, and I have no intention of frustrating myself by dicking around trying to figure it out. I don't like this new design, and I don't like the technical problems that have come with it. So I'm just going to "vote with my feet" and find other pages to spend time on. Too bad...I like Slashdot. I'll miss it.
The points you raise are all valid; sooner or later, they'll all have to be answered.
You have to admit, though, that if they believe the device works as advertised, they'd also believe they had more than adequate cause to be just a wee bit paranoid.
This is starting to look a lot like when the first few pathetic, failure-prone Japanese and European cars came into the American market. Yeah, they sucked. Twenty years later, they'd driven the US auto industry to the verge of bankruptcy.
So now we have three US aerospace/defense industry companies that are pretty much useless without all that good, old-fashioned American payola putting out three or four concepts that are supposed to leave us all swooning.
So why do I have the feeling that the rest of the world is going to opt for something faster, louder and marginally less safe that the Russians will build for 25% of the cost?
I don't understand how a planet could be whipping around its primary once every.84 days, in an orbit 20 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun, and not be torn apart by tidal forces.

Absolute right, not moral right. Give your stupid head a shake.

Quelle surprise!

A pox on the lot of 'em.

For the last several weeks, city workers have been attempting to fill an unexplained rash of apparently-invisible pot holes on Lovers' Lane.
"I don't get it," said Area Supervisor Ed Jamacated. "From the readings we've been getting, it should look like the Grand Canyon around here."
If I recall correctly, the F-4 originally mounted no guns. When it was offered to the Israelis, they had to demand that they be incorporated into the planes slated for them. In action in Viet Nam, American pilots also learned how stupid this concept was, and remedial action was taken.
Whores have been trying to get an arrangement like that for years. Or was it wives?
I'm so confused.
Let's hope for all our sakes that when China visually documents research into new surgical techniques, they haven't got hold of "Human Centipede".

Thank you very much for that excellent explanation. It's exactly what I wanted to know.
This is starting to look a lot like when the first few pathetic, failure-prone Japanese and European cars came into the American market. Yeah, they sucked. Twenty years later, they'd driven the US auto industry to the verge of bankruptcy.

What am missing?
Anybody else feel like they'd probably prefer Soylent Green?
Of course, it must be said that most food safety laws allow a certain percentage of insect parts in stuff that winds up on grocery store shelves.
Excellent response!
I must apologize. I failed to consider that the birds very likely were stricken in Mississippi, and crossed the border into Arkansas as they fell.
