So? he chose to go to Slashdot. I would argue that it's better to go to a varied group instead of to one site that is likely to be biased. Talk to a varied group is how you minimize echo chamber effect.
"That said, I agree that the federal government has gotten away w/ far too much for far too long by claiming all kinds of powers under the commerce clause. No doubt about it."
A) Commerce clause is a federal constitutional law. This is state law. Please try to comprehend the issue before posting.
B) If it was a federal issue, this would be exactly what the commerce clause is for. The federal government uses the commerce clause more because a lot more commerce is done across state borders.
No, it is not bad. They do however continue to us it in their lie that the economy isn't getting better. So it benefits and hurts business.?
Do you even think, at all, when reading what your echo chambers feeds into your bias? no, of course not.
At least you read the bill, looked at the data and confirmed what they said? no? of course not.
You are a loud mouth and should keep the in mind next time you think every gut feeling you get is correct.
Fucking moron.
And yes, I have read it and looked a the data. I find it more effective when I communicate with my representative.
You're post reminds me of a quote: “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

You ignorance its amazing. Must be the well known Arkansas educational system. You know nothing about road work, but yet use it as some sort of example.
Clue: the costs to do the materials and equipment have out paced personal income levels, hence they need more money for the same mile of work, even after adjusted for inflation.
Did it occurred to you the 10% may not be enough because amazon is taking millions and millions of dollars of tax revenue away from your state?
A) Find me one adult who doesn't realize they pay a sales tax. IN a state that has a sales tax, obviously.
SO, at best, your initial premise is a straw man, at worst, just stupid.
B) No, it's actually the less on each one.
C) Any taxpayer can find out exactly what they are doing with the money. It is not hidden. Don't confuse your 'Too lazy to actually look' with 'No one knows what they do with the money."
"Sales taxes are regressive, they discourage commerce," false.
", and they incentivize cities to put up big-box stores, " false
"With so many advantages of property taxes over sales taxes,"
Your conclusion is, well... stupid. Property tax and sales tax are different things, and each has value different from the other.
Sales tax is applied to all people, usually not on 'needed' items. All people pay them..Property taxes have less of an impact on low end apts dwellers. Because it's on the property, not on per living unit; which should be changed to be based on number of apts. Because the people density is higher, so they use more servers and pay lass taxes per family then a single family unattached home does.
That's one of MANY complexities you would need to deal with in changing a tax.
because they know it can not happen. They want to appear 'fair' when in fact they are cheap bastards who won't spend a tiny amount of money to ensure states get there legally mandate tax from in state people purchasing goods.
"You don't need to have a central monetary authority to have a bubble based " yes, you do. In the case of Tulips it was the exchange markets that where the central authority.
Somewhere then need to be a central place for mass trading.
The same IP hitting on people in a chat room geared towards 13 year old's might warrant a red flag so someone read the logs, and possible set up an investigation.
If this thing works right, then there wold be no false negative, but false positives. Making the pool to search for predators smaller.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes you can. Jeez.
You could do it for 2-3 grand with effort.
Yes, but if you can get some data before you go, you can eliminate trips which would obviously not succeed.
Flying bomb? DO you also believe minor car accidents create huge explosions?
I have never seen an RC plane crash and explode.
Now that the military spent the billion dollars, the basic RnD is done, and created a market, it can e done for about 1000 dollars.
Something people don't seem to get.
So? he chose to go to Slashdot. I would argue that it's better to go to a varied group instead of to one site that is likely to be biased. Talk to a varied group is how you minimize echo chamber effect.
Some do.
Because that wasn't the issue.
"That said, I agree that the federal government has gotten away w/ far too much for far too long by claiming all kinds of powers under the commerce clause. No doubt about it."
Name one.

" I pay that state's sales tax, not my home state's sales tax."
then you are breaking the law and cheating yourself.
A) You are suppose to pay the tax in your state at the end of the year.
B) You are entitled to a refund of the taxes you paid in the other state.
" They probably determine t"
So, you don't really know.
As for collecting. You set up a method where every year, a county official post there tax, Amazon grabs that information and updates it automatically.
Complexity argument is a Red Herring.

You're post has made you look stupid AND lazy.

He as busy mowing my lawn.
There is no such thing.
DO you really think that's a challenge? People seem to miss the predators hunt. They have a patterns, and it isn't a one time event.
No. Dont be stupid.
IF you are trying to get laid, and some says no, then you aren't a predator. If you keep harassing them, then you mare.
If you are hooking up with someone and learn they are underage*, and then leave, you aren't a predator.
If you keep trying to hook up, predator.
*Context can also be important. Going to Blue's Clues sit with the demographic of 6-10 year old and trying to hook up will look pretty bad.
It doesn't, it indicates probability.

"And law enforcement charges kids with kiddy porn when they take pictures of themselves."
You seem to have forgotten to add " ... and then send it to someone"
Law enforcement deals with this issue right now. FBI, and Sherriff weed these things out.
Don't confuse a parent accusing some one of statutory rape as the same thing.
To teens talking about sex is irrelevant. One teen constantly trying to get another even after being told 'no' is being a predator.
The people do know the difference, and this bot won't identify, arrest, conflict and sentence.
It will only alert of a high probability. People trained will handle the grunt work.
But flirting is a way from, Hey 13 year old, how about we meet up for sex, I'm a 40 year old truck driver.
