No, teachers can and should discuss the strengths and weaknesses of all sorts of theories.
"The Bible says the world is only 6000 years old" however, is not 'discussion of a weakness' of any theory, at all.
Put another way, should teachers 'teach the controversy' that the Bible clearly states that Pi is actually 3?
And he [Hiram] made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one rim to the other it was round all about, and...a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about....And it was an hand breadth thick.... -- First Kings, chapter 7, verses 23 and 26
Ontario guy here. The insurance companies still assess fault, and use that to determine who pays or doesn't pay their deductible, weather your rates get jacked up, and so on.
No fault, in this context, just means you deal with your insurance company, the other guy deals with his, they both pay out pretty quickly, then they fight over who was at fault themselves.
Ok, but how would you feel if all cars were mandated to have built-in Breathalyzer ignition interlocks? Speed governors tied to GPS tracking and a roads database? Forced ten minute breaks for every hour of continuous driving? Obnoxious alarms if both hands weren't on the wheel?
Firearms are intrinsically dangerous in exactly the same way automobiles, pools, household chemicals, household power tools, and so on, are intrinsically dangerous; almost invariably, when there is an injury, it's due to improper use, improper storage, or improper maintenance. User fault, user fault, user fault.
The last question is: If the files had contained HIPAA protected client/patient information, would you and your coworkers reported yourselves for violating HIPAA privacy laws (and most likely been fired)?
If the files had contained HIPAA protected information, I'd expect he'd have done his job and informed senior staff that some idiot was storing protected data in text files, jpg files, word documents, whatever, on his personal drive/network share, rather than within the official document management system which allows for access, change, and what not management.
Christianity: domination of the entire globe by word-of-mouth, example and metaphysical enlightenment.
This would explain why 'Christian' countries and polities have been, for centuries, invading the Middle East. Including the US, under self-identified Christian governments.
Q: Why is Iran an Islamic theocracy? A: Because the US of A deposed the democratically elected government, and installed a monarchy, whom the people then replaced with a theocracy.
It is literally the equivalent of finding a printout of a nefarious plan, and deciding 'whelp, he could have sent these copies to ANYBODY IN THE COUNTRY so now we have probable cause to SEARCH EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY for these documents.
Yes, it's ever so slightly different in that, by digitally searching for exact matches, there's no real way to stumble upon other things. Doesn't matter.
Who would want to give the government the power to search through millions and millions of citizen's digital archives in the name of 'stopping terrorism' when they can't be bothered to do a damn thing about a terrorist organization having occupied, by force of arms, Federal facilities?
Yes, lets treat private companies exactly the same as publically funded civil servants.
If the po-po can charge for their footage like a corporation, then I guess a corporation can arrest, lay charges, and enjoy other benefits reserved to police services.

So how do you advocate dealing with people and/or organizations that break the social contract?
A kills B else in a dispute over a piece of property. Which wins, A's 'freedom' to kill B? B's freedom to live reasonably secure from being killed?
Say the property was to be sold to A by B at an agreed price. Both parties signed a contract. Both parties are satisfied that the property is exactly as represented. A just decides that he doesn't want to pay, and kills B. What do we do with A? Are you really going to deprive poor A of his freedom to renege on a contract, his freedom to kill people, his freedom to take property that doesn't belong to him?
"I don't think punishing people is freedom." Well no, it isn't. But what you seem to be describing is anarchy.
Freedom of action is not freedom from consequence.
Cisco can do business however it wishes, and with whomever. The EFF is free to publically proclaim that it disagrees with Cisco's choices, and to urge people to come to the same conclusion.
Or, more bluntly, you're arguing that voting Democrat is taking away the Republican candidate's freedom to be elected.
FM transmitter only works if your target audience has receivers. I suspect radio receivers are highly controlled items in the DPRK.
I think he meant more along the lines of 'wouldn't it piss off South Korea if the DPRK started broadcasting, at way WAY overamped power levels, propaganda and pro-KJ1 music on the same frequencies as South Korea's more popular FM stations.'
That's the very definition of stigmatizing, and it's unfortunate for anybody else who's going through a similar situation. It's too bad that his tragic death can't at least have the positive outcome of helping others avoid similar fates.

Nope, just appropriate venue for appropriate material.
Or are you advocating that churches should give 'equal time' during services to 'alternate theroies?'

I hear what you're saying, and to some extent, I even agree, but at least the insurance companies can pull statistics out to justify their decisions.
Cops pulling over a guy for DWB, not so much.

Heh, I remember using 1280x1024 on my Ati Mach64 with a whopping 2mb of VRAM, back in 1995ish.
Because you have to draw an arbitrary line *somewhere*. And from a brain development point of view, that *somewhere* should really be 25.
Failing that, however, 'two or three years after kids start learning how to drive' is probably a good place to start.

Ya know, NT used to run on Sparc, PowerPC, Alpha and MIPS.
If those versions had sold, Microsoft would have kept selling them. The market spoke. The users made their choice.
Been a while, but wasn't Slammer actually a SQL Server worm, and I love you was an email-based Trojan?
You're absolutely correct, however, in pointing out that in the age-old contest between warhead and armour, warhead wins.

This was the argument used by the South against emancipation: "How dare the government deprive us of our freedom to deprive others of freedom."

Tree? Pretentious hippy. In MY day, we floated around in the ocean.
Hence the oldtimey term 'gun cotton.' Discovered, as I recall, when a chemist cleaned up a spill with an apron.

The math I worked out once said that you'd have to let your kid sit out on the curb for about 750,000 years to guarantee a random abduction.
