Was bin Laden supposed to join the Democratic Party of Saudi Arabia? Should he have sent Al Qaeda Team Six in a stealth helicopter to shoot Bush in his bed? Terrorists deploy what resources they have, while the US's ordinance is too good to waste on civilians.
Hardly a contradiction, since he could have learned of the drug connection from the cops or have been threatened by the criminals once the investigation started. And "never talk to police" is a good rule of thumb anyway even they are accusing you of criminal activity on another planet 200 years ago.
Now I doubt the guy was really ignorant, but legal actions can't reasonably be magically transformed into criminal ones by the word "facilitating". A dealer or crooked border agent are directly committing crimes.
True, assuming such equipment is practical, but you still don't want to give the message that's it's OK to fire these lasers at people. Small aircraft might still be unprotected, and when the idiot gets bored of planes he might shine this thing at cars or in his neighbors' windows.
Clearly we should set up prisons for birds that damage airplanes instead of hardening the aircraft structure... I'll agree with your point that the guy is old enough to know better (though "attempted murder" is a little extreme when the probability of taking down an airliner with a laser appears to be 0), but airlines also have a responsibility to their crews and passengers to take defensive safety precautions.
there are no discernible deleterious effects of VAT
All those countries with VAT suffering massive unemployment and on the verge of total collapse is of course just a coincidence. Correlation is not causation after all. Clearly what China, Mexico, and Europe need is an even higher VAT. Turn it up to 110%!
Does impose a sort of compliance tax on Amazon. Does Amazon have to submit to auditing by every state's tax authorities too? Does Fry's submit scans of all customers' driver's licenses to every state?
Why don't states just send bills for the privilege of residing in them? Yeah, few would pay unless the government could justify its expenditures, which everyone knows are unjustifiable.
Yeah, he should have said: "I was raised on the command line, motherfucker." Because we all know he really wanted to say that, but he was too much of a pussy to use the f-bomb. Where are the chicks like "Maya" from Zero Dark Thirty to show the boys how it's done?
You should probably resign as a martial arts instructor if you feel unsafe at a tech conference before one of your students ends up thrashed to death by a frisky kitten.
The sexes are equal, so obviously you should act like a woman. But since you have the privileges of a man, it is indeed correct for you not to leave the house to give women a chance.
European countries have inescapable VATs (usually around 20% !) added into prices, and they continue to raise taxes...and they complain of being broke. Government does not need the money, it needs to spend less
What do they do when someone pulls a knife? Tries to run them over? Sics a dog on them? Do they train to run away really fast, or do they rely on the criminals to take pity on their helplessness?
You're paying the price, but that's not the return you are getting. Like the PATRIOT Act it's not really going to be used against terrorists, even if there were any. Probably will be used mostly by the DEA for asset forfeiture. Best case scenario, you're losing privacy so government bureaucrats can live large ripping off drug retailers. Or possibly the IRS could hassle you over that extra $1000 in your account from selling something on ebay, or your ex could squeeze you a little harder during the divorce. Worst case: dystopia.
Most people are idiots with weak characters, so it's no surprise that they would want to limit free speech. Most would support torture and mutilation of people who are arrested too.
Indecent proposal to 6-year-old? An offer of candy is more sinister. Someone threatening me with death? Just another day on the internet: a serious killer doesn't warn his victim Slandering? A law that can only be selectively enforced is no law Threats against the President? Last I checked he wasn't a King with more Dignity than a citizen
Yes, free speech is always threatened by the evil of human nature, including in the USA, and in every case it's been shameful and disgusting.
I think most countries with Islamic law allow women in ads, though they have to cover their hair and wear modest clothing. In both cases you have women being told what to wear for the good of society and the dignity of women.
And actually what they will be doing is promoting positive female and homosexual stereotypes, and censoring negative stereotypes; while discouraging positive straight male stereotypes, and ignoring negative stereotypes.
Don't think judges care about freedom and happiness, they are there to legitimize the government by insuring its regulations are consistent, even they are written by Satan himself.
China can probably build the same capabilities at a fraction of the cost, especially if they steal our technology. Imagine Foxconn converted to drone production.
Is the unemployment rate that bad? Because if they have the same qualifications and performance they should get about the same kind of job even if all the men are hired first.
Stalking is a pretty questionable offense, since it can apply to almost any behavior that the "victim" objects to. And according to you if the victim doesn't realize they are being stalked the stalking is worse! Of course companies and the government are experts in overt and covert tracking, but it's somehow criminal when impotent individuals do it?
The mere fact of countries like the USA, where pornography cannot be banned
We also thought that guns, which unlike porn are explicitly mentioned in Constitution, couldn't be banned... And just like the gun bans in Europe, their porn ban will held up as something that any "civilized" country does. The USA already has some of the strictest laws criminalizing prostitution, so a little "War on Women" rhetoric, a couple more lesbians appointed to the Supreme Court, and a porn ban is done.

Everybody is spying on everybody, so killing spies threatens international order. Al-Qaeda kills spies, not nations at peace.

Not to mention the German religion registration...

State propaganda and censorship is at the core of socialism. Europe never was and never will be free.

There is no need for your comment. In fact I think it belittles the Spanish racial minority and should be blocked by the EU.
Kim Jong-un actually killed Obama's dad?!
