Fine; numbanus it is (you know, what with you being "Greek" and all.;)
Your English is clearly fantastic; infinitely better than my Francais (five years) and my Nihongo (ten years); the problem is your inability to grasp an incredibly complex issue in anything but the simplest, emotionally-loaded terms. So no, I don't want to see only politicians' daughters able to murder their unborn children (I won't lower myself to phrasing it any other way) without having to resort to a rusty back-alley coat hanger...
The issue, numbnuts, has never been whether it's "okay to murder an unborn child" but whether it's a good idea to empower the government to prevent it, which, as history clearly fucking shows us, results in an even worse situation.
I am amazed no one has made this point about the drone shuttle the Air Force is using recently.
They only want you to think it's a drone; don't tell anyone but in reality it's crewed with miniature astronauts produced at Brookhaven National Lab (I haven't figured out yet if they were shrunken through quantum/relativistic methods or merely genetically-engineered...).
You hit the nail on the head. I propose we comply with [IMAX' obvious desires] and since they clearly don't want their trademark associated with quality, we appease them; here's a suitable example:
After that six-pack of Guinness and all those 7 Layer Burritos, I IMAX'd the hell out of that bathroom!
I've been closely following every aspect of "The Uber Controversy" for nearly eighteen months and I happen to be informed enough to know that you're lying
While at the same time they suspend drivers if they register their cars as commercial vehicle
A citation [for whatever isolated occurrence you're referring to] would certainly be useful... but tell me, if you're only doing UberX (i.e. you want to keep your overhead low) and you're not trying to register a vehicle on behalf of a cab company (yours or anyone else's), why would you even attempt to register your car as a taxi? (I do believe that's what you're attempting to allude to, when you loosely used the phrase "register their cars as commercial vehicles.")
Also, the insurance only covers when there is a fare in the car, not when they are driving to pick up a fare.

I understand that a lot of cabbies (who theoretically were supposed to have had background checks performed on them by their respective taxi companies) end up failing their background checks when they attempt to jump ship and go to Uber; this would go a long way towards explaining attitudes like yours...
Thought for a second that you were referring to the hull of a General Systems Vehicle (which could well be monomolecular in nature, but I'm afraid we can't ask The Designer Himself until the Next Iteration), I had to search for the term... and upon doing so, came up with a vague recollection (and please correct me if I'm wrong) of two-headed aliens whose spaceships' hulls are entirely transparent to radiation (and thus must impart protection via time dilation)...
Indeed, with all due respect to Niven nothwithstanding (did i just successfully coin a composite idiom?), I suspect his developing brain may may have received less essential fatty acids and more lysergic acid [diethylamide] than that of Banks...:p
Funny that both [rather unimpressive] responses were posted by AC's... but to break it down for the especially limited:
The words "codified into law" clearly demonstrate my awareness of exactly how much freedom the 2nd Amendment doesn't give us... but thanks for playing!;)
I'm perfectly fine with this, as long as their right to point their omnipresent cameras at me is balanced by my right (codified into law, of course) to point a fucking shotgun at said cameras as well as their sickening fucking heads.
It probably should be mentioned (since few seem aware of it) that they also provide their UberX/UberXL* drivers with supplemental commercial insurance.
*UberBlack/UberSUV drivers are required to supply their own commercial ("for hire") limo coverage (with whatever limits are required by the relevant regulatory agencies)...

According to Tarantino, Madonna sang a song about that...
Enough Russians banging away on enough typewriters for enough years could come up with their own NSA documents... ;)
I thought for a minute that you were referring to Dice...
I thought most Americans don't vote.
Well fucking said!!!
I've been to Oklahoma and I'm pretty sure it's not in the U.S.A...
Apparently you haven't seen Ex Machina... :p

There's a special place in hell for pharma-industry researchers; apparently it resembles the inside of Richard Gere's ass. :p
Apple has likely made you-scratch-my-back deals
This is not, in fact, an actual saying in English; care to try again? :p

It couldn't be that bad, or people on mobile networks would burn most of their month's data setting up a new device.
And if that data is flagged in such fashion as to not count against one's data cap?

Drivers' liability to third parties is covered from the moment a driver accepts a trip to its conclusion.

Either that or you should consider re-reading my post (of course, that won't help a reading-comprehension issue). ;)

I suppose if they were given enough velocity... but it'd have to be a lot.
He fulfilled a destiny caught from Steve Ballmer (like an STD).
all they do I run an app, right?

*There's obviously no guarantee of demand, just as there's no guarantee there'll be a car nearby when you request one...
With taxi medallions fetching nearly a million a pop in NYC, all I can say is fuck you and your defense of that horseshit system!!
