The Constitution does not grant the Congress or the President the power to read email, so therefor, it is unconstitutional to do so. The 4th amendment affirms the rights of the people, and is not a limitation of them.
,For instance, no one is disputing the fact that cheap oil is going away, very soon, and we need an alternative. Making a country less dependent on oil -- particularly foreign oil -- is absolutely a good thing.
We're unusually lucky, in that, we're running out of oil right at the same time we're starting to understand the effects of burning it. Oil will never be cheap again, until, energy alternatives are so much in place that oil is something as a novelty.
I agree that oil will not have a single replacement. There's going to be a mix of alternative energy for different applications - transportation ranges from electric to ethanol to biodiesel and probably some coal to liquids gasoline, and then nuclear looks awefully good on the baseload power generation side.
I don't think I really have to present a complete picture here. I'm just showing you where yours is incomplete. And if no one has a complete picture, what does that tell you?
I have a complete picture. Yes, if I just had $9000, or just had two books on murder, or just had a passport, then, yeah, all of your other explanations could make sense. But, no, I've got a guy whose wife's gone missing, caught with, her blood in his vehicle, two books on how to commit murder, a passport, $9000 in cash, the seat all taken up, no alibi, no witnesses, a track record of domestic abuse, a pathologically possessive, personality prone to rage and jealousy, and you know what, that's a murderer. If the prosecution is at all worth its salt, this Reiser is going to go wherever Tookie went.
He was also running a company, and yes, those people like to be paid. Yep, and I've yet to see any of them say they were paid in cash. If they were being paid in cash, then, while we're putting Reiser on death row, we could also tack on a few years for tax evasion, fraud, whatever.
And these are for scientific theories, where having the wrong theory for the origin of the universe means, worst case, you're ignorant. Here, if I'm wrong, a murdering bastard goes free. If you're wrong, an innocent man dies
Well, the case of GW, the point is more true. If you are right about GW, and make a bunch of policy changes, then, humanity is theoretically somehow better off. If, on the other hand, you are wrong, then, you've just ruined a bunch of countries for no other reason than some big con game.
Myself, I'm trying to think about how to to turn GW on its head. I know that if the USA has to make CO2 payments to the third world, the USA is screwed. But I think if the USA could actually somehow meet some 1990 baseline via a ton of nuclear power, and actually go -under- it, then, the USA could actually -tax the world-, and, that's pretty cool.
Why not? Maybe he just likes to keep it in cash? Or here's a thought: He was going through a bitter divorce. I'm not surprised he had money he didn't want his wife (or her attourneys) to know about. Bastard? Yes. Murderer? No.
Yeah, but, if he was trying to hide money from his wife, he could do that to a degree by having a place to live! That's the thing.
I'm viscerally disgusted with you. Making up total bullshit like:
Total bullshit? LOL. You still haven't answered the question. Do people that abuse their wives deserve to live. All you have to do is write: "Yes, people that beat their wives deserve to live!"
All emotion, zero critical thinking skills. YOU don't deserve to live. People like you are so easily manipulated, you are responsible for the deterioration of modern society. Wife-beaters hurt their families, fucktards like you hurt the entire country.
Emotion is what makes us human. You can go ahead and try and make yourself into a dispassionate computer. But guess what, you will never ever be as good at being a computer as a computer. They have no emotion to combat, they have better circuts, they are faster, can store more, and do more. Emotion is all we really have, and honestly, even then, computers will be programmed to have that to.
Easily manipulated? You are the one that thinks its ok to beat your wife.
All emotion, zero critical thinking skills.
Let's roll on with this one from another tack. Would you not think, then, that George Bush was the greatest president ever for invading Iraq and getting his hands on all of that oil? Or, are you one of those that gush on about the illegality of the war and the damage to mother earth. Critical thinking! Please! Or, do you scream out, "I hate George Bush", when you beat your wife!
So what? There are any number of reasons you might be living in your car. Money is only one, perhaps the only you can think of. Or perhaps he needed the money for something else.
Like, what does he need this money for? Let's see, he's not paying his child support, he's not paying alimony, and he's not getting himself a place to live. Sounds to me like he's abandoned all of his responsibilities, and for what? Jeez, I would think the most logical explanation is that he was leaving the country.
Why should Russian programmers be any different? So you are saying we could just "mail a check to a russian programmer". seriously, how does he get $9000 in cash to Russia. It doesn't stack up at all.
And you just made all of that up. Nope. I crafted a model consistent with the facts at hand. Just like, someone examining a bunch of fossils might say, geez, stacked together, this is evolution we are talking about. Or, how someone looking at a bunch of ice cores, might say, geez, the planet is getting warmer.
Well, fuck you. I've had a wet car, I've removed the seat from a car, I've had friends run from the cops (stupid thing to do, but still, doesn't make them guilty), and I have carried more cash than I should. And I've never killed anyone. Maybe he did kill her, but nobody knows. Because nobody knows, and because we're in America, he should walk. Unfortunately, because we're in America, you also have committed no crime by being an ignorant hate-spewing fucktard.
Unfortunately, because we're in America, you also have committed no crime by being an ignorant hate-spewing fucktard... And now we move to the exercise in creative writing
Well, fuck you. I've had a wet car, I've removed the seat from a car, I've had friends run from the cops (stupid thing to do, but still, doesn't make them guilty), and I have carried more cash than I should. And I've never killed anyone
Ok, so, add to that, two books on how to murder someone to get away with it, your wife has dissappeared after a bitter divorce when she banged your best friend while you were getting blown by little sventis in Russia, that, he goes and tries and hides this car 3 miles away from where he lived... and it wasn't even his car. Then you throw in, he has no alibi. Surely, someone as active on the internet could go and say - here's all these postings, whatever, I was making at the time.... but he doesn't... you see...
sure, you can arrange all of these bits and pieces into a ptolemaic view of the solar system, but most of the time, the earth just goes around the sun, and most of the time, hans reiser killed his wife, and should die for it.
Really, yes, by some absolute consideration, unless they had a witness of him actually killing her, then yeah, there's some doubt, but its not reasonable doubt. And, by any other scientic problem, do you have the same standard of evidence? We don't have pictures of humans evolving from lower mammals, but a lot of people argue for evolution. We don't have a smoking gun that shows mankind's tiny percentage of global greenhouse gasses is causing global warming, but a lot of people argue that we need to turn millions of lives upside down (and cause more than a few deaths along the way), by enacting carbon taxes... yet, most reasonable accept that the preponderance of evidence exceedes reasonable doubt. If you look at things objectively, then there is evolution, there is global warming, and hans reiser is a psychopath that murdered his wife, and, from there, evolution should be taught, we should do something about global warming, and hans reiser should be executed for pre-meditated capital murder.
Wow, what selfish family and friends is all I can say
Selfish that you want people that you love to live? Selfish for a son to ask his father not to blow himself away but to try and find a job so he can see him grow up? Selfish for a daughter that needs her mother, a husband who needs his wife?
Those are some lazy, worthless relationships, you advocate. The best of human bonds are unbreakable... what you have, is pure Walmart family.
None of my friends and none of my family have a "responsibility" to me not to end their lives. I support and love them, and I am happy to help them through any tough periods, but I do not believe that any of them should either live or die for me.
If your friends do not have any sense of commitment or responsibility to you, and vice versa, then I would question the worth of your friendship. It may suck, as you say, to be my friend, but a friendship with you would be entirely pointless.
Do you have some great insight into why it is we should even kill the ones that have ever hit their wives or children?
Keep in mind that you are bestowing on people of minor assaults the death penalty. That tells me that you have a rather perverted sense of justice, and can't fathom what the repercussions to people would be.
Hitting your wife and child is not a minor assault.
Why don't kill yourself and do society a favor? You have clear signs of a dangerous personality disorder. Physician, heal thyself.
And you call yourself society? Do you do that before or after you beat your wife and children?
Twas a good troll until the last sentence. I mean come on, who in this day and age is so naive to believe a woman in a divorce case?
Boy, that's an openly sexist admission, if I ever heard one. So, that's really what we have here, is that,./ has a lot of international posters that pretty much buy into Reiser's "she was terrible" defense, as if, she deserved it. So, that's what liberalism -really- is!
Freedom is based on ownership of your own body and mind. You get to define what your life means to you, and no-one else. To state that suicide is deplorable is to deny an immediate consequence of the most basic principle of freedom.
Suicide is usually distressing for family and friends. It is sometimes the result of mental illness. But it is not "deplorable
Suicide is deplorable because people have responsibilities to the family and friends they leave behind, and in choosing suicide, they have abandoned those responsbilities.
Your angry ranting leads me to believe you're one of:
I really don't care what you believe of me, except for your faggit ass passive agressive attack "leads me to believe..." only leads me to believe that you don't really believe it is wrong for a man to kill his wife. You write, jeez, all of these things, as if, outrage over a man neglecting his kids murdering his wife needs justification! The problem isn't that I'm outraged over this, it is that you people buy into his crap in his interviews.
Oh, I get it. You're trolling. You almost got me there
Actually, I'm genuinely outraged at people who are staring at the obvious and don't want to believe it. The guy killed his wife. And I read his interview, and the interview in wired, and honestly, each time I hear what he has to say, the more I am completely convinced he is guilty. He killed his wife! Just, I'm viscerally disgusted by this guy.
I don't know what fascist dictatorship you live under, but in my part of the world it's "innocent until proven guilty".
HE IS PROVEN GUILTY TO ME. Nina's gone. Hans's attempting to flee the country. He's trying to hide something but they still find her blood on his person. What more do you really need? Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.
It's all going to be a matter of public record though.. we'll have our own little Geek-OJ and see. Christ, I wish all of you people so sticking up for Hans because he invented a file system would be so open minded when it comes to someone not of your ideological persuasion. It's like, you people don't even care that he murdered his wife, you are more concerned with the file system.
You have to ask, if Bush funded continued development of Linux, would that make the invasion of Iraq ok in your eyes?
Europeans are all whores. will be dead quite soon. Sign yourself up for the needle, TJ. Death penalty
That's not a dickish comment, its just sort of a statement of fact!:-) Besides, I'm an American, and Nationalism is perfectly acceptable. It's only an insult to you, because you make it one.
Now, if I beat and killed my wife and neglected my kid, then yeah, I'd deserve the death penalty, but, calling Europeans whores, why that's all good. See, those are just words...
How come? Do you think it's likely that he will murder someone else?
Nope, don't care if he murders someone else. He's just a dick, has been a dick a number of times, and ultimately finally did one dickish thing. So yeah, he killed his wife, and yeah, there's a chance that he could kill someone else. But really, its more like, he's a shitty person from the get go, and therefor, off the island of life with him.
Maybe he can sort things out with Jesus or something, or, if his religion has no resurrection ship, his death will be permanent. Either way, I don't care. He should have treated his family with the respect that it deserves and he should not have killed his wife. He made his choices, and now I and other American citizens will make ours.
