Ummm your comment seems to have been copied into my computers random access memory... So who do I make the check out to and for how much... I don't want Team ACTA coming down on me....
daily remote examination in order to discover bruising or tearing.
o now you've really gone and done it. Had to go and take the most extreme position now didn't you? I really don't know we bother to keep you around other than you're family being rather well off and all that. But why must you always make waves like this? I swear if you weren't a man of the cloth I'd be tempted to punch you square in the nuts...
and anther-thing, what the hell is with that black hat you never... ever... take off? What are you hiding under there?
I recommend enhancing security by also enabling the laptops' microphone. Besides, are those laptop cameras any good for taking infra-red pictures?
My distinguished colleague is right. We must protect our barely illegal females first and foremost. Thus I submit that each laptop must remain on at all times and that said students be required to respond to chat requests from members of this board to insure that they are not being abused or are engaging in illegal activities off camera. If they have nothing to hide then they have nothing to fear. Except us... o and our friends.... and well I guess friends of friends... O and that weird guy, Dave in IT, you know the one who watches those strange cartoons... but anyhow the alternatives are just to horrible to allow happen. We are the last line of deference people...
I'm so sorry but we need to treat you and your cohorts just like we treat everyone else who is alleged, on television, of being guilty of a crime which means we will convict you, throw you in jail and make sure the other inmates know what you did...
It's only fair, so be sure to enjoy your daily beatings and o, the rapes.
you can get indemnity insurance which would cover treatment/illness regardless of what any HMO decides.
You can't get insurance after becoming ill and have it cover anything to do with that illness. I'm not saying that is unfair but I think you will find that it's hard to get any form of insurance if you have certain conditions regardless of the fact that they will not affect you for many years. This seems very unfair to me and I expect that it will get worse. They already want to know if your parents have any illnesses so how long before they start using data mining to make sure they don't provide insurance to those who are likely to use it? Pretty sure credit checks are being used now which is rather absurd.
I had the foresight to get a personal health insurance plan before I became ill with a couple of non-life threatening illnesses. It's a PPO which is suppose to be better than an HMO but who really knows anymore. Anyhow, I've since tried to change plans and also providers but that's completely impossible. You can never change your deductible or switch providers and still have a pre-existing condition covered. I don't goto the doctor anymore than most of you but in 20 years that will likely change and so lowering my deductible now is a big no-no...
Honestly health insurance is really just a big scam as everyone gets sick sooner or later. The only way to really make money is to change what is/isn't covered and simply not be honest about what is being sold. I've even had 2 of the 3 medicines I take go from covered to not covered in the last 5 years. Makes me wonder some times as my wife has the same insurance provider and basically the same plan only it's provided by her job and those very same drugs are still covered. That's a little funny isn't it?
It's a big game of tweak it until we make x amount of profit. Nothing more or less... Just hope you are never the one who is tweaked out.
I'm not saying the government would be any better but being able goto a doctor before something gets out of hand would save lives and money in this country so it would be nice if there was a minimum level of coverage provided to everyone. Being able to see a doctor and have basic tests done would be a start.
Shit man, not only did you admit that, but you got downmodded too.. talk about kicking a guy when hes down. +1 Sympathy in my book brother.
It's alright, denial makes people lash out and act in a totally unhealthy manner. I do hope that one day, in the far far future, that the/. community will be able to come to grips with our collective inability to leave our basements or have meaningful relationships that don't involve computers or bad jokes about goatsx, over9000, the overlords and surely not ones about cold frosty piss.
Wow, that's insightful and explains 90% of our entire government in two sentence... You just need to add one more line to explain why they pass absurd laws and your training will be complete...
Well as far as I've been aware, no pedophiles have bragged to me about their conquests. However, your awkward level of confidence on the matter prompts me to re-evaluate my opinion as to whether this actually occurs. =)
That's a cute Glen Beck style comeback you got there.:,]
When people do illegal things they brag about them to people who also do those same illegal things. For example, If you steal cars for a living you wouldn't be bragging about it to the cop that lives next door but at the chop-shop where you sell your goods. The same holds true for most illegal stuff. When you are smoking crack you don't chat about it with a nun but your fellow crack heads.
The Washington Post has changed the linked article in the last 30 minutes to something about administrators denying everything. Talk about big brother and controlling the masses.
Yes it does cost lots of money, but we more than make up for that with the savings from our "death panels".
What's really humorous is that we already have 'death panels' here in the US. They're called HMO's and they decide when the odds of you surviving an illness become to low to make it worth the expense of treatment. They also decide which treatments and doctors you are allowed to see...
This is exactly what the new 'Anti-counterfeiting Treaty' currently being negotiated in secret is meant to protect us from!
Moral of this story - Don't buy a smart phone after you've been drinking all night and especially not one from said bar! I mean, come-on, everyone knows bars don't sell phones they sell hookers and blow!
So it sounds like this technology could convert human corpses into energy. I'm not saying the US military would use it in that manner but perhaps china would find it useful? Makes me wonder what Hitler might have to say about this development if he was still alive...
People have been ducking sales tax in the US by buying online because you generally have to have a physical presence in a state to be required to remit sales tax. I say people, and not businesses/web vendors, since most states have a "use tax" which applies to anything purchased out of state
I think in most states even regular people are required to declare what they buy online and pay the use tax. It's that way in the state in which I live but no one does it. We had a 1% sales tax increase recently because people haven't been buying as much due to the recession but hey I'm sure when things do pick back up they will repeal that increase just like they did with income tax way back in the day... O right, that never happened.. I think the government has a tumor and we need some chemo to shrink it...

Just to play devil's advocate: Name a rule that's important to you, and let's find how many find it silly.
Don't rape children... I win the game, yes?

I think I read a book about this...
evil grin, which book would that be my lord...
At least your comparison has given me inspiration for an out; I'm going to back out of this discussion by crying uncontrollably. Good day sir! *sob*
Wow... Really??? Another inspired post that doesn't really explain why you disagree or how you come to your position.
Alrighty then... good day...
Wow, that's insightful and explains 90% of our entire government in two sentence... You just need to add one more line to explain why they pass absurd laws and your training will be complete...
and thus you will be promptly shot...

I'm surprised you didn't already understand this?
If pedophiles believed (b), there would probably be no pedophiles.
You really don't think real pedophiles don't brag about their conquests? That's a totally absurd jump in logic you just made.
That link hauls in junk and tracking from a huge number of sites, including
But that's the link in TFA! and the /. overlords thought it was perfect!
Because now, you are always free to switch to another HMO if the current one isn't meeting your needs.
Really? Damn it! if only my grandmother had known!!!!
This is /. you insensitive clod. I don't have a girlfriend...

who could seriously have thought that the ability to spy on kids in their bedrooms was (a) a good idea and (b) something to brag about.
Pedophiles?

Canada cares for the mentally ill? It must really cost a lot of money? God forbid you ever decided to give away free health care in general...
Wooooooooosh

turn the goal posts into Tesla coils and voila!
Yes this sounds like a wonderful way to reduce our idiot problem here in the states.

it'll be tough to do if the new sets last anywhere near as long as the old ones did.
O don't worry, they won't last anywhere as long...
