So it isn't a guarantee, that hardly makes it a bad thing in and of itself.
It does provide a chance for Afghanistan to get out of the hole it is currently in.
The country needs a functioning economy and government. Natural resources, while probably the worst in terms of often being easily "captured" by corruption or the dictator/royalty/etc are great in terms of ease of ramping up.
Afghanistan is not going to build a functioning financial services export sector in the next decade, or even a functioning factory based industrial sector, or become a tourist destination. The rest of the world is not going to let them make an economy on opium that isn't forced to be corrupt.
That the US is currently waging a war in the country strangely enough increases the chances that the country can use the resources to bootstrap itself into stability.
Doesn't mean it is certain by any stretch. But the chances before this was found were exactly 0, now it's a small positive number...
As long as they don't advertise them for sale individually and then refuse to sell you one even though it is clearly in stock it isn't a problem. Surely?
9 suicides this in the first 5 months of this year.
400,000 workers at that factory.
9/5*12/400000*100000= 5.4 deaths by suicide per 100000 people annually.
Overall Chinese deaths by suicide per 100000 people annually: 14 (http://www.who.int/mental_health/prevention/suicide/suiciderates/en/)
So being a Foxconn factory worker appears to reduce the suicide rate by over 60%. And at least one of those suicides was at a different factory, so if 800,000 is the better count of their employees then it's 2.7, a reduction of over 80%.
Obviously if the workers were also slitting their wrists, or taking pills that would be reported as well.
And obviously a batch of suicides at most major corporations would be very strange, since most of them have employ people in countries with lower rates of suicide to start with. And the workers don't live on the company property and hence most suicides wouldn't be on company property and hence less noticeable as company related.
But feel free to stick to you irrational emotions and contribute to a reduction in the quality of life of some Chinese people.
That wasn't one of the options the options given. Let me repeat:
1. Clean the oil off and have the animal die a horrible painful death due to it consuming huge amounts of toxic sludge.
2. Kill the animal in a quick and hopefully painless fashion.
Of course the assumption is that the animal does die after being cleaned anyway, if that's not true then "if" part doesn't apply and again your point is pointless.
We have this already. It's called wildlife. See all those birds covered in oil, water just runs off their feathers.
So I say we force as many birds as possible to take one for the team. Of course squeezing them out is the tricky step, but I'm sure we'll come up with something (off the top of my head, set them on fire and use a new set of birds).
Very rarely do Crime scene investigators get good fingerprints. Go ask a real one, and stop paying attention to utter fantasy like CSI. Most detectives cant stand that show and how utterly inaccurate and flat out wrong it is.
And computer hackers can't stand the way computer hacking is presented in things like Swordfish. Spies probably think James Bond is inaccurate. Mutants think the Heroes is flat out wrong.
And what if the guy in the emergency exit row missed some important instruction because he was too busy reading the magazine in the seat pocket?
I say we staple the eyes of those in the emergency rows open, with some sort of spiked cage contraption to make sure they are always pointing their head at whatever it is that is so important.
It was late January. That "plenty of room" was likely covered with several feet of snow from ploughing the road and then draft onto that ploughed wall of snow.
Not that that makes her actions any more reasonable.
Yes because the front of a person is so much harder to see than the back of a person. Given the brain has evolved to identify faces extremely well, I would expect the exact opposite to be true, but that's irrelevant.
Of course you walk against the traffic, your walking speed is so slow it's irrelevant, so it's much better to be able to see what is coming at you.
Sure just ignore what the law says about their liability and so on. Much better to run the country by presidential decree, than with this stupid rule of law thing.
I guarantee if you made a website declaring Jesus Christ was homosexual the US government would not block access to the website for the entire country.
Fuck the holy spirit. The holy spirit doesn't exist. I deny everything you can think of about the holy spirit. I deny the holy spirit itself (but I repeat myself). You can take Jesus, shine him up, turn him sideways, and shove him up the holy spirit's ass.
"when we need it" means demand goes up. That makes the price increase by your "supply and demand" mantra.
Any economies of scale on the supply side are bottlenecked by the price of energy. The cheap form of which is the very thing you said we should be worried about...
increase the damn price of water. In fact use a tiered system in which farmers get a free quota as do drinking water supplies, which Coca Cola pays for their first drop.
"But they'll leave and take their production elsewhere", that solves the water problem too. Just find the right price point. If the jobs are more important that people having food and water, set it at 0...

So if there's no threat why are you claiming the clerk's behavior would change?
They live on company property, idiot. All of them offed themselves at home.

7 million people isn't a "ton of people" to you?
If you are still being literal, I guess you must weigh very very little.
If you drop the literal thing, then what words are acceptable to you for a 7 million member group of people?
OK, so she's just a complete moron then.
If the steam is touching your coffee your espresso machine is broken.
And espresso has cafestol by the truck load, assuming you didn't put a paper filter in the path somewhere.

The United States isn't a European country. And yes Europe has less free speech than the US, though the US is working hard to get to their level.

And as proof see that this isn't blocked by the government: http://www.jesusinlove.blogspot.com/ and there are not riots in the street.
Utah does not have a state religion, at least to my knowledge - do you have a citation?
The far better case for you argument is England.
If it's not illegal in your jurisdiction, then it isn't pirating in the first place and the entire comment makes no sense at all.
