The "town hall meeting" is a pretty classic form of American governance. Guys running for office who think they are the boss of a bunch of worthless animals is the new and scary development.
Difference is these are active "anti-insurgency" devices that operate above any law. They cross borders a will, track anyone they please, and kill them when they feel like it.
Any data will be used against you in a court of law. If the gun is stolen you will be arrested every time it's used, while a gun with a serial number only comes back to you the one time it is dropped; if you shoot someone in self-defense you'll be arrested, while a gun with a serial number can just be tossed in a river. You had to pre-prove your innocence by paying more for the registration infrastructure, but since no proof is good enough you will have to keep proving it. The vast majority of criminals are not eligible to buy guns legally so none the regulations affect them
Comcast is also a media company, so I'm sure their lawyers have thought out all the potential precedents. Seems like Big Media isn't interested in suing individuals anymore, but is going for the big play to change the internet and block access to infringers
Ideally, but Comcast isn't fully subject to the market. Subpoenas may have become annoying, but Comcast has agreed to deny internet service to customers after "six strikes" in exchange for payment from the copyright industry
Anytime anyone tells you they are forcing something upon you "for your own protection" they are obviously doing it for their own benefit. ATM withdrawal limits are there to reduce the bank's fraud liability; similarly the border blockade, police confiscations, the massive FBI spy network embedded in the banking system are not "keeping you safe", they are putting the government's interests above yours.
That quote on the French statue was written by some poet dreamer, not by a general or statesman. A country is by definition exclusive, and if the American people were to become suicidal enough to open the borders, within 24 hours the USA would no longer exist.
The citizens that formed their government aren't entitled to the benefits of their own fucking country, but it's "natural" for some strangers to come in and extract dollars from the economy so they can go home rich in their own currency? Maybe you should stop exploiting our hospitality and earn your way by working in a brothel for sex tourists.
If they just followed up on the reports from traditional sources they would have have plenty of work. How many times have we heard about accusations of child rape that were ignored or covered up until the crimes became extensive enough that they couldn't be? The FBI agents probably know of more unpunished incidents of abuse in their own social circles than they will ever catch over their careers of hunting online criminals and abusing citizens' rights.
Censorship regulations are always selectively enforced. That movie probably would have got noticed if it were a female being tortured, since the point of the law is intended to "protect" women and lock up men. Doesn't apply to Barbie Broccoli abusing Daniel.
I had a friend who confessed to hitting her husband and thought it was okay; I told her it wasn't, flat-out.
You talk the talk, but do you really transcend gender (to infinity and beyond!)? If your friend's husband hit her you would get her to call the police, help her apply for a retraining order, let her stay at your place or find her a shelter, find her a divorce lawyer, work with her to destroy him legally, etc. You would accept nothing less. When she hits her husband you say "that's no OK" and order her another margarita.
"Think of the little girls", how convincing! Please attach a statement on all your products identifying you as a creepy panty-sniffing daddy so we can boycott you too.
All the cute, emotional, clean, safe, and feel-good marketing aimed at women is uncomfortable for men. You are shocked by an auto show because you are actually used to a highly feminine marking culture of status-inflation and infantilization.
First of all everyone is a sex object (unless they are unlucky). Second of all no one is only a sex object. Models emphasizing their sex appeal to sell stuff to men are the same as strippers who sell drinks, and are certainly on a low, lazy, and overpaid rung of sex work.
Maybe you should develop enough sense of self to realize that you are not the same as every and any woman. Guys who see a Calvin Klein ad or a ceremonial guard might be inspired to do crunches or become President--they don't transfer their consciousness into what they see and start feeling bad about their pointless job or their incompetence.
Yet we're not seeing 10s of thousands of prosecutions for terrorism, espionage etc. Of course secret prisons and assassinations of some millions of Americans would indeed be essential for operational security too...
Actually it's probably a negative-sum, because a lot of migrants not only take jobs, but they send their wages out of the country, and often receive more in government benefits than they've paid for. They may lower prices, but the cost of labor is a tiny fraction of prices, and any business's priority is amassing profits first. No, 5% cheaper broccoli does not justify disrupting law and order, undermining the political system, and engaging in human trafficking on a massive scale
What a ridiculous "law", completely unjustified in its existence, inherently unequal in its application, and explicitly discriminatory. A movie with a pig skull-fucking an infant is a more moral work than that piece of legislation.

Ask the Native Americans how that worked out for them

You're doing it wrong
Set up an emergency center where retired NASCAR drivers will take remote control of the car.
There is also this if you want to pay more for a scalar and for the right of return
Better doing nothing than out trying to fill some quota of citizen harassment.

More like they retire, since girls just 2 years younger will be hired first

Nobody wants the lowest paid jobs anyway,
Before: "One Million Apply for 62000 Jobs at McDonald's"
After: "One Hundred And One Million Apply for 70000 Jobs at McDonald's"
