If somebody shoots at you, but misses, they still tried to kill you. Nobody would say 'oh, his feelings are just hurt that somebody was that mad at him.'
The accused formed a specific intent to harm, gathered the materials to carry out that intent, planned his assault, and carried it out. Guilty act plus guilty mind.
Change that to 'that tried putting an insufficient fee on being late.' If they'd set the fee correctly (high enough that it was a problem, not so high that it seemed insulting) it would have worked more as expected.
He wasn't 'driven out' or 'expelled,' as he had no option of staying. He didn't run for a third term, he didn't declare himself President for Life. He'd have been leaving if Trump won, Clinton won, Sanders won, Stein won, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog won, whatever.
You can't be 'ousted' unless you'd otherwise still be in the position.
It's a problem that Harper won with ~40 percent of the vote. It's a problem that Trudeau did the same. It's a problem that the NDP won in Alberta due to vote splitting between the Wild Rose party, and the PC party.
Depends on how much cream they put into their coffee. If it's enough to add a new note of flavor, they like coffee. If it's enough that the coffee tastes more like 'cream with coffee flavouring' then no, they like cream.
I remember some chocolate bar from when I was a kid, it was called '100 Grand' or something. It was a bar of chocolate with honey-flavoured rice crisps in it. One day, it just vanished.
I also remember when the changed the tomato sauce used in Alphaghettis, and then it sucked.
The problem is when you have tons and tons of real time transactions that have to be kept in a very precise order. How do you easily and reliably determine which event happened first if the numerical timestamp isn't sequential?
You use a unique, sequential value independent from timestamp, I'd hope.
You miss the point of taxis (and other transportation-for-hire services). The point being you don't have to have your phone charged and w/ you. Let's say you're talking a walk and decide to visit a friend, something for which you need not have your phone w/ you. So you hail a taxi, get taken to her place, get dropped, pay, and don't think about it, once the driver ends the ride. As an added advantage, you don't have to haggle, and can decide whether to tip or not.
No one said the elections are based on 'after the election was called by all the major news outlets'. Nice strawman though
You did. You said, and I quote: "over nine hours after the election was called by all the major news outlets." Who cares when the election was called by all the major news outlets?
So in your country there is no speculation or projection about who won until every single vote is counted? No one looks at the data available to see who is, within a truly negligibly small probability of error, the winner, and then that person begins the planning for assuming power? Sounds very inefficient and rather authoritarian actually.
Well, it doesn't take that long to count votes, if you do it properly. We generally have projections that night, sure, but who the hell cares? Lets say Fox is projecting the R will win, and CNN is projecting the D. Should both concede? What about MSNBC? Who the hell cares?
I find it interesting that you think 'actually counting the votes in a democracy and using those to determine a winner' is 'authoritarian.' Yes, I suppose it is, in that in a democracy (which America isn't) or even a representational republic (which America technically is) the 'authority' rests in the 'people' as expressed by 'votes.' So yes, counting the 'votes' of the 'people' is kinda authoritarian. Better than CNN, Fox, MSNBC literally making up a winner, changing their minds multiple times during the course of the evening, and people like you thinking that there's some nefarious reason why a candidate would say 'well, the votes aren't in yet, but gosh darnit, I'm giving up.'
For eight months? After publically claiming that your opponent should not only not contest losing by almost the exact same number of votes, but should, indeed, waive their right to the legally mandated recount?
Let me restate this: Franken did not contest the vote. The recount was automatically triggered per state law. Coleman publically stated that Franken should somehow prevent said recount from happening, then spent months and months contesting the results of said recount.
I'm glad that, I personally, live in a country where elections are based on counting ballots, not 'after the election was called by all the major news outlets.'
Also, 9 hours isn't an unreasonable delay. 8 months, like the Coleman vs Franken Senate race, was a fine example of what you're describing, though.
Remember the Minnesota senator race between incumbent Norm Coleman (R) and upstart Al Fraken (D)?
At first, Coleman won by 215 votes. Literally, a handful of votes. This triggered an automatic recount.
Coleman was all over the news, calling for Franken to concede immediately, waive his right to the legally mandated recount, not to drag it out, not to be a sore loser, to let Coleman get on 'with the business of governing,' that sort of thing.
Then, the recount came back. Franken was now declared the winner by 225 votes. Again, literally, a handful of votes. Did Coleman graciously concede, not drag it out, decide to not be a sore loser, and let Franken get on with the business of governing? Nope. He vowed to contest the results to the highest courts in the land, did just that, and dragged the affair out until the next July.
Nah, she won the primaries by being the Heir Apparent to the Clinton Dynasty, while nobody in the DNC recognized that America doesn't want or need a political dynasty.
Also, the DNC was so busy appealing to everybody except mainstream America that they completely lost mainstream America.
That said, yes, there was a lot of 'lets make history by electing me as the first woman president!' which is regretful.
Out of curiosity, have you ever opened powershell and started issuing dos/cmd commands?
Here's a hint: works great. Powershell isn't a superset of cmd, but it implements cmd commands. You can likely take a.bat file, rename it to.ps, and have it run just fine. I've never had a problem doing so, at least.
This is kind of like complaining that your Linux distro is replacing sh with bash; all your old stuff will keep working, but now you have new options and abilities that you can slowly migrate to.

I'd vote for Peter Jones if he were alive.
Who cares?

I don't know if the sort of person who can afford a Tesla is also the sort of person who has limited cell phone plans.
But if that's the case, then you set a damn timer on your phone.

Did you also complain when PCs stopped shipping with the giant keyboard plugs, then again with the PS2 purple and green keyboard and mouse plugs?
He wasn't 'driven out' or 'expelled,' as he had no option of staying. He didn't run for a third term, he didn't declare himself President for Life. He'd have been leaving if Trump won, Clinton won, Sanders won, Stein won, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog won, whatever.

This is why we need something other than FPTP.

Doubly-alas, it's not the 100 Grand bar I was thinking of.
I honestly can't remember the name of the damn thing.
Ah well. At least we get Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, Caramilk, and all sorts of other goodies.
Alas, 'your area' is probably the US of A.

If you're using cmd in 2016, chances are you don't need help using the 'dir' command.
Out of curiosity, have you ever opened powershell and started issuing dos/cmd commands?
Here's a hint: works great. Powershell isn't a superset of cmd, but it implements cmd commands. You can likely take a .bat file, rename it to .ps, and have it run just fine. I've never had a problem doing so, at least.
This is kind of like complaining that your Linux distro is replacing sh with bash; all your old stuff will keep working, but now you have new options and abilities that you can slowly migrate to.
So, you're fully aware that there's an 'emergency call' option which bypasses everything, but you choose not to use it.
Instead, you choose to continue to use a phone that you *know* has a nag screen, that you *know* you can bypass, and that you *choose not to.*
And this is somebody else's fault.
