Whilst I drink very little wine, (And have never liked red wine at all) in recent years I have indulged in a little red supplied by some fellow (Fairly rich) wine loving club members.
The good ones all seem to be more than 5 years old.
(good ones means I like the taste, I dont have the wine vocabulary of an expert)
The very best ones taste great. I can hardly be described as someone with an refined pallette!
A good friend of mine who is errmmm, partial to the odd drop (Bucket) of wine told me "There are no bad wines, some are just better than others".
I dont drink alcohol often, but some of my richer gliding clubmates are real experts, and I occasionally have a very small ammount (About 1/2 inch in a wine glass).
This has lead me to now have a very expensive taste in Red wines. ):
Before I just did not like any. Now I find some of the really good ones are amazing. And I cant even drink cheap ones!
"You do realize that if insurance companies do not discriminate against pre-existing conditions, they cannot possibly stay in business"
You do realise that is complete and utter rubbish dont you? The same thing happens for health insurance in.au and the companies fees are regulated to a maximum increase each year.
"It's specifically because they were cops that he felt he could ignore their original order to get back in the car while they searched his trunk."
You keep saying that as if repetition will make it true. He did get back into the car as requested, and was then assaulted without reason by this asshole.
Why are you so desperate to defend the actions of these people? They should, and in my country would be in serious trouble for such outrageous behaviour. It is NOT against the law to be an asshole, and these poeple are paid to do their job, not punish someone because they are an asshole.
When a cop last tried shit like this with me I was parked near the main police station.
I made it clear that if he continued his appalling behaviour he would spend the next 2 weeks filling out paperwork to defend agaist an official complaint of police harrassment. That shut the useless officious prick up real fast. It seems it is time the US took complaints against fasctist pigs seriously, and introdused a similar complaint system.
Personally, after reading of peoples experiences i cant imagine why anyone would on to visit a country so uncivilised as to allow their law officers to behave so appalingly. --

I was raised in a JW family, and became an atheist in my teens. I regard all religious believers as delusional.
However I have never seen the kind of behaviour you describe by JW's and frankly IF it occoured it most certainly happened due to the actions of individuals NOT the JW's standard policy, as is the case with Scientology.
They do ostracise those who break their rules and "Disfellowship" them-but there is specific exemption of family members, so they do not press for family mebers to ignore their relatives.
NO pressure has ever been applied to my family to break contact with me in the 35 years since I left.
There is a big difference between a few individuals over stepping, and a delibertae policy such as scientologies 'Fair Game" Policy.

"Kerosene is a very light distillate, used by jet engines in planes or rockets."
Diamond aircraft made a light aircraft with a diesel piston engine. The reason Kersene is used in aviation is the viscosity of diesel(Due to wax content) is too thick at cold temps.
One of the advantages of better quality Diesel fuel is low wax content.
My Dad was a truck driver in the 1950's and can remeber using blowtorches on the fuel lines and tanks to start the engine in sub zero conditions.
It's well known that Hamas purposely occupies places like schools and residential homes.
I see a lot of rubbish like this, the human shield lie. IF human shields were effective in protecting anyone form Israel, how come UN schools end up being firebombed with phosphorus?
It has been plain for some time that Israel makes no attempt to avoid civilian casulaties in its regular mini genocides.
"Israel has done more to help the Palestinian people than the Arab states ever have"
Yeh. like stealing their land by terrorism, and creating a giant concentration camp, killing 10X more Palestinians than Iraelis killed, yep thats a great help.
The refugee state was created when Israelis forced Palesinians off their OWn ladn into concentration camps.
Are you really so incredible naive or just an Israel shill?
Why shoould the other Arab nations pay for Israels theft?

FTFY
Yep, Sounds great, 50 different health care systems instead of one.
What could possible go worng?
Speaking for myself as Austrailian resident,
I am very happy with our public health system, which allows both public and privater insurance.
Insurance rates are MUCH less for better cover and none of this dropping of sick people is allowed.
Works greatfor us.
I am no expert on the US constitution, but is
there not something about the welfare of the people in there?
Congratulations on joining the rest of the 1st world America.

Hey moron, did you not read the jurors description of events AFTER HE SAW the video.
Your attempt to create a version where these asshole come out looking good is pathetic.
It seems nothing will convinced you that the guards behaved like total assholes, and should be convicted of assault themselves.
Typical of the US police it seems from what I read.
Such behavior by low IQ assholes should not be tolerated
In German I am told, there is a word for making up a word where a perfectly good combination of words
already exist! (:
"We try our hardest to PROTECT the civilian population and only take out the military targets"
Tell that to the residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"We try our hardest to PROTECT the civilian population"
Going by the number of civilians killed in such attacks, thats not going well at all.
Spouting fallaciouis rubbish like you just wrote gives you no justification to accuse anyone of
stupidity or a false ideology.
Well said Sir, pity the truth gets modded troll.
But you cant expect any better from Slashdot.
IF I had mod points you would have got them.

"If you're intelligence gathering is so bad you have to rely on torture, you don't belong in the intelligence business."
For poor old deluded DaveV1.0 that seems to be a given.
Only the basest off fools would claim waterboarding and other "Enhanced interrogation techniques" are not torture.
They were certainly classified as such when it was happening to Americans in Viet Nam.
Goose meet gander.
"Heinz Mustermann copulates with sheep"
Ah he's a Kiwi then!
I have an even better idea, lock them in a room and play Battlefield Earth non stop until they surrender.
And you thought waterboarding was torture!

Do they now have new egg on their face?
It's no yolk you know?

Do you have a problem with reading comprehension?
It is plain from the policy that he should not have disclosed the passwords, despite your claims.
You seem to be very invested in his "guilt" in this matter for some reason I wonder why?
As an admin myself, reading the policies I would have done exactly the same things.
