Yes, even if that speach is damaging to another. The only exception to that is if a person is attempting to knowing slander someone. In court, they call this proving "Malice". In defense of my arguement, I present the KKK. These dweebs are free to say whatever they please and the government can't do a damn thing about it.
No, they do not in the US. A corporation MUST attempt to be factual at all times. They are also limited in what they can say in regards to financial disclosure, future plans, legal action, etc. Basically to prevent insider trading or stock price speculation.
You're missing the point. The point is that this law needlessly burdens the individual's speach. Europeans tend to take the view that you can't just say whatever you want because there are consequences. Americans take the view that you can say whatever you please and the government can do jack about it. This law will stop Europeans from saying what is on their minds because some business or government entitiy can take legal action against the individual. Right or wrong won't matter. What matters it that some other entity with vast resources will challenge you and your limited funds in a court of law. You can be right and still lose.
Opinions are rarely absolute truth. Life is lived in the grey areas. Without the protection and freedom to say WHATEVER you want, truth becomes whatever the powerful decide it is. Opinions matter.
So, every minute of every day are you leading a completely heathy lifestyle? Hurt yourself camping? Sorry, dude. Not medical treatment for you. You could have stayed home where it was safe. You took a bite of chocolate cake!!!! No heath coverage for you when you're old, you don't eat right. Welcome to the age of paying for services you'll never be allowed to access. BTW, auto insurance rates go up despite the fact that auto insurance companies have been posting record PROFITS every year for more than the last 10 years. Don't tell me your rate is going up because of anything else than unadulterated greed.
Freedom of speech is the right to say whatever you think. Not a manditory debate. You are also free to think and say whatever want even if it is untrue. This is especially important when the truth of the matter is subjective. More to the point, a business is in a far better position to rebut on thier own dime than to transfer that to the individual. Besides, a corporation doesn't have the same rights to speach as an individual.
First off, there is always the experience from coding from the group up. Second, Linux isn't a hotbed of good GUI. Most new GUIs worth looking at are comming from outside the Linux relm.
but the total lack of regulation on the internet has led to a situation where anybody can say anything about anybody with no redress.
This is fine. This is good. Americans grasp it, Euros don't.
Seems ok until you consider the effect on an individual's website. The true power of the web is that anyone can publish thier thoughts. Imagine you critize a company that you had a bad experience with on your personal website. Imagine them shutting you down because you didn't allow them to counter. Or, you allow them to reply, but they then create a reply that voilates your bandwidth TOS. Either way you're off the net. Your single voice will be stifled.
That's exactly the type of overly aggessive, father figure type of government we are trying to avoid. Wearing or not wearing a SEATBELT is a matter of personal safety. You are not endangering anyone else by not wearing one. But government will go out of it's way to avoid paying out on a medical bill. Fuckers.
No, they were taking the water. They were pretending to process some type of chemicals before dumping them back into the air. Remember they made a big deal of commishoning the chemical plant?
What I want to know is 20 years later and everyone still hasn't figured out these guys are hell bent on humans as food? I find the public dumb, but not quite THAT dumb.
Tom is the final cutoff point between the childlike Hobbit story and the adult story with real consequences in LoTR. Plus, Tom re-enforces Tolkien's theme of art, song, and nature having magical power.
If you find the idea of contacting other potentially intelligent life and taking in new culture and technology so useless why do you post on Slashdot?
Plus, the Spaniards (and everyone else of the era) would have had a much harder time justifying their expeditions if they intelligent communication prior to bumping into each other.
There is no Constitutional guarantee about having clean air to breathe, yet everyone keeps clamoring about it. Maybe the Constitution is more about the spirit of the law rather than the letter? Hmmmmmmm.

1989 Czech border reforms missed

I don't know about the rest of the list, but those listed above were not 'missed'. The CIA was dead on in thier prediction of these events. Wether or not the leaders in charge heeded these assessments is another story.
Plus, you'll never hear of the successes. CIA foils a bomb plot, bombing never happens, thus news never covers the event. So how sure are you that the CIA is ineffective?
Plus, imperial units are one of the few remaining ways we can flip the bird at Europe. Send some diagrams in imperial units over to the Euros and we can hear the grumbling all the way across the Atlantic as they do conversions.:-)
You're right, it isn't DEEP. But it did dabble in various philosophic ideas. Our reaction to this movie is interesting because most movies don't present these themes at all. Plus, I think most are overreacting to these themes. I don't believe these themes are there to derive deeper meaning to the film or life, they are there to give the characters logical motivation. It also gives us, the audiance, a cool game to play as we untangle the motivations and guess the next move.
As a teen ALL your cash is disposable. No bills, no worring about rent, food, and other necessities that your parents are flipping the bill for. Plus, as a teen ALL music is new and fresh to you. You haven't been around long enough to see the cycles, develop your own taste, or become jaded like parents are. Plus as you get older the amound of time you want to devote to just listening to music falls because many other options are available to you.

Also remember that in the US, you don't prove the claims are untrue in a slander or lible lawsuit. You have to prove MALICE.

Not treason, but purgery and obstruction of justice. Unless you want to go back and put Clinton up for treason.

So when the extra-terristrial version of Cortez comes around, you'd like to be the Inca?

Yes, I should have clarified that as disposable income earmarked for entertainment/music. In my teen years almost all my income went that way.
As a teen ALL your cash is disposable. No bills, no worring about rent, food, and other necessities that your parents are flipping the bill for. Plus, as a teen ALL music is new and fresh to you.
