To sum it up. James Madison writes about the influence of Factions (aka Parties). He sees these as negative, but unavoidable. Thus, the he suggests a system in which smaller Factions have the ability to slow down and force larger Factions to discuss and debate issues.
States can amend the U.S. Constitution without Congress getting to vote on the Amendment. 2/3 of the States call for a Constitutional Convention and then 3/4 of the States ratify it.
If the Founder Fathers wanted efficiency, they would not have created the federal system with a bicameral legislature. Stupid shit like this slowing down the process is there by design - to protect our rights. If government were efficient, they would just erode our rights faster.
So based of the responses I've received to my comment, it seems that women's events exist as sort of an "Affirmative Action" to increase women's representation at the Olympics. That being acknowledged, it seems the answer would be to only allow people who are genetically women (i.e. XX) to compete in the women's category and push everyone else into the Men's category.
Then you still have this issue of who qualifies as a women to compete in women's sports. I don't dislike women's competitions. It was merely a suggestion to eliminate the issue of who would play in what division.
Now, all of the people who are adamantly against it leave me with the feeling that women are inferior to men. This is certainly not a concept I had when I made my statement. Sure, I acknowledged that women will not excel against men in some sports (power lifting), but I thought that they would excel in others (Gymnastics). And at the end of the day (well Olympics) that Men would have medals in events better suited to men and women would have medals in events better suited to women.
Under Fascism all industry is not nationalized. Having some industries nationalized while some are not would be in the middle of "all hands off" and "all hands on".
I agree as far as a "complete package" (e.g. including both social and economic policies) Fascism is much closer to Communism then Capitalism. I was only pointing out that Economically, it was the in-between and equally as close to Laissez Faire Capitalism (complete hands off) as Communism (complete hands on).
You said Iran implements the UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child. Do they actually implement the UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child or did they just agree to it and never follow through?
In the section titled "Educating Our Children," the document states that "corporal punishment is effective" and recommends teachers be given "more authority" to deal with disciplinary problems.
Time outs work much better.
A vast majority of the time, certainly. But that doesn't mean there are not cases where a time out would be ineffective and other methods would produce results.
/while I agree with what I said, I don't think teachers should be paddling students.
I think there is a general outline to being a libertarian. The issue comes down to practicing libertarians not applying the phrase "That more liberty is better than less." to things they dislike.
I'd rather teach a student how to find out about George Washington (and analyze the difference sources) then have the students memorize facts about George Washington.
Teaching students to think allows them to teach themselves.
Brandon Sanderson (an excellent Fantasy Writer for adults) wrote a series through schoolastics for 5th to 7th grades kids. The series is about a bot named Alcatraz. It's a great read and worth exposing kids to.
To my understanding, each google website used to be individual. Now they are connected, meaning that they can track you across all of google's websites/services. So instead of multiple files about you, they have one grand file.
In order to make money you need to be significantly better than the laymen that do it for free for their own enjoyment.
I disagree. There are many artists that make money that are less talented then artist who are not making money. I would say that it is more about who you know then what you know. Sure, you have to have enough talent to perform, but talent will only take you so far. You have to have the right connections to get to the point that you start making real money.
It isn't the downloaded, but the seeding that get's one in trouble. It isn't that he downloaded two songs, but that he seeded two songs to a mutuality of people and each person is a new case of infringement.
But the problem is that he isn't being charged with "stealing" in the idea that he took something worth $1. It's that he gave that $1 item away for free a multitude of times.
So it isn't the 1 song he downloaded, but the song that he gave away a multitude of times.
At least, that is my understanding. They don't go after the downloader, they go after the seeder.

Require Bills to have a Thesis statement. Any amendment that does not fall under the Thesis statement is not relevant.
Thousands of English Teachers do this with papers every day.

Amendments are often how compromise is reached. Without amendments, the Constitution would never have passed.

is to remove "men's" and "women's" and just have events.
that people can start posting Internet Brain Imaging that says they are above average now too?

How do you get a 100% on a test made by conservatives?

Answer Jesus to every question.
I'd say that economically, Fascism is as close to Communism as it is to Capitalism. The the middle between the two ideas.
Socially, yes, they both were totalitarian.

Not sure I'd want not running aps to appear on my taskbar.
