  1. Re:Urban Transit on US Plans To Bulldoze 50 Shrinking Cities · · Score: 1

    Who, for the most part, don't actually exist.

    Exactly. I don't fell like looking it up, but statically speaking, most child molesters tend to be family or some other person that the child already knows.

  2. Shouldn't need a new law, but... on Battle Over Minimum Pricing Heating Up · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From TFA: eBay and discount retailer Costco Wholesale Corp., opponents decided to lobby for a bill now pending in Congress that would make minimum-pricing agreements a violation of antitrust law.

    Shouldn't existing law prevent MAPs already? This sounds an awful lot like collusion and price-fixing to me. But since the Supreme Court has already said that manufacturers can enforce price floors, it sounds like new legislation is definitely needed.

  3. Re:Flogging a dead, buried, exhumed, reanimated ho on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 1

    Star Trek is dead. It died with First Contact. People need to accept that and move on, as do the profiteers responsible for this turkey.

    This is where I'm going to have to disagree with you. A good deal of what came after TNG was quite enjoyable. DS9 can be argued to be some of the best Trek ever made. Enterprise really hit a nice stretch in the later seasons. Hell, flame me if you want, but I even enjoy me some Voyager from time to time.

    Although I'd really like to see something new that could take the franchise in a bit of a different direction, I won't immediately write-off this movie because it's going the prequel/re-imaging route that so many other movies are taking these days.
