    so it is okay for you to protest what you see as injustice but not others?

    As much as i hate the south I must say that they have made major progress on race relations, unlike so many northern cities.

    Yes, but major snowstorms can have the same effect.

  4. Re:2004 US Presidential Election Stolen in Ohio on States Throw Out Electronic Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    While i agree many shifty things occurred during the 2004 election those particular women didn't go to jail for rigging the recount. They committed an act of negligence by taking a non random sample in a way that could have allowed for a rigged vote. This occurred in a county so deep blue county. exit polling, the initial count, the shady recount, subsequent court ordered reviews, and historic voting patterns all still had Cuyahoga county Kerry. It would have been far too obvious if that county went red look further south in the state for the really suspicious stuff

    I lived there myself and while it is closer to balanced than those numbers suggest it does skew east.

    I can say rather clearly that some high density parts of the US have similar social norms towards privacy.

    There are such protests but they don't exactly get covered in the media for obvious reasons.

    In all likelyhood they are cheating scumbags , but I try to keep in mind the corner cases that might simply be good people getting screwed over.

  11. Re:No, *THESE* are slaves on Apple Sued For Turning Workers Into Slaves · · Score: 1

    How about actually enforcing our current laws making it ILLEGAL to even think of hiring ILLEGAL workers in the US? Then, there would be no need for unionizing them, no more exploitation of people scared to speak up due to being here as illegal non-citizens...not to mention less of a drag on the ER rooms (illegals main source of healthcare), and schools...etc.

    Get rid of the slave labor by making it highly toxic to business if caught with even a single illegal alien employed here...that will try up the incentive to come here illegally, and will help US citizens and those here legally to have better wages, etc.

    Just ask those in the house building industry how illegals have killed the market for US workers who want to raise families in a normal environment, not live 12 to a room/shack or tent somewhere and send what money they do make back home via Western Union.

    Yes instead we can have native born poor being taken advantage of. If you as a US worker want to you are welcome to crash in your local flophouse making sub minimum wage. Desperation doesn't only hit people on one side of a national border. It is better for a union to look out for everyone to keep the floor from falling out.

    In the original NYT it was said that Fortuny's prank cost several men their marriages (I forget the details).

    This view really assumes that the spouses were not okay with their husbands seeking extramarital sexual satisfaction. It really is not all that rare for one spouse to allow another to seek fulfillment of their kink outside the home as long as it is kept out of the public eye. Face it the dude is an ass. He plays on our cultures sexual insecurities to toy with people.

    The needle is stiffer for 78s and speeds the wear on your records. Some models offer a way to easily switch needles by flicking a lever.

    Drug use spans all social classes and yet the folly of the war on drugs has not yet managed to drag down the system. With the right spin a nice majority of people can support any idea that doesn't directly harm them.
