Because Twitter is a great model for the spread of ideas. If you study the spread of ideas, you can begin to understand it and use that understanding to affect it. That has enormous value.
Lead is a metal that bio-accumulates. Ethanol is an organic molecule that is easily metabolized by your body. The two are not comparable.
There are also more significant organic solvents to worry about. Ethanol is added to gasoline in concentrations of around 5% and it's less volitile than gasoline. That means the concentration of ethanol in the air must be far less than that of gasoline. If you're exposed to enough ethanol to have the effect of one shot of liquor, you're also being exposed to enough gasoline to equal 10 or 20 shots.
The idea that ethanol in gasoline is has any biologically relevant effects at all is highly implausible.
I'd bet if you measured the unprosecuted crimes committed by bankers, lawyers, insurance agents, and politicians, you'd find that the crime rate is actually quite high.
Good and Evil?! To me, evil is some despot murdering people or starving them; not some business guy getting market share.
Perspective people!
You need to gain some perspective. In the real world, most evil is not done by supervillians. It is done by ordinary people serving their self interests.
Look at the 2008 financial crisis for instance. A large number of bankers made a large number of unethical decisions to benefit themselves, any of these decisions would have had little negative effect in themselves but on the whole they harmed the country more than any event since 9/11. Economically, they harmed the country far more than 9/11 did. The actual death toll of the 2008 financial crisis is arguably worse as well, by taking people's livelihoods those bankers also took peoples lives.
This is what true evil looks like. It is not some foreign mad man set on world domination. It's our fellow citizens, people like you and me, making bad decisions for their own self interest. This is why most bad things happen.
"The Web" has always been http. The web metaphor comes from the network of hypertext links. It's just easier to say "the web" than it is to say "http network" or whatever. FTP, Gopher, email, and USENET all predated HTTP, and were never called "the web" until HTTP came around and people new to the internet thought everything was "the web".
This is what always made me LMAO at these chuckleheads, they can't say what they really want which is "He's a nigger!" so they try to find another reason to get rid of him, even if that reason MAKES NO SENSE.
Which is even more ridiculous, since Obama has committed numerous impeachable acts, they're just ones the far right agrees with. From warrantless wiretaps, to violating the war power act, to outright assassinations of US citizens with no due process, Obama could be out of office tomorrow if Congress ever decided they want to enforce the law.
There's all kinds of resources to get them food, shelter, and jobs, but they'd rather get high instead, and most of those programs require that you remain clean.
That's your problem right there. Stop moralizing and start helping. A drug addict with a home to go to is better for everyone than a homeless drug addict.
You're right, most Americans don't support what Bradley did. Most Americans are as morally bankrupt as their leaders are. Most Americans support the TSA, they supported the war in Iraq, they supported the imprisonment of pot smokers for 70 years. Most Americans care more about 20 children killed by a crazy person in CT than they care about 20 children killed by their president in Afghanistan. Most Americans don't believe in evolution or climate change. Most Americans are idiots or assholes or both. If most Americans support you, you're probably doing something terribly wrong.
Because the "espionage" is actually evidence of crimes, and the authorities are criminals. I know it's hard to accept, but the people in charge are not always right and good.
1) Manning had legal resources available to him to expose wrong doing in the classified world.
And absolutely no reason to believe that they would work. And he was right. To date the government has done nothing about the crimes Manning revealed. The government has done nothing to punish anyone who inappropriately classified documents to cover up crimes.
There's no reason whatsoever to believe the result would be different if he had used the official channels to file a complaint. The realistic result is that nothing would be done after filing an official complaint, and he would be the first suspect if those documents were later leaked.
Manning did the right thing in leaking the data. He did the wrong thing in speaking about it.
Thanks only to an extremely broad definition of middle class that would include many that westerners would describe as working poor.
Eduardo Giannetti da Fonseca, one of Brazil's most distinguished economists, describes members of the middle class as âoepeople who are not resigned to a life of poverty, who are prepared to make sacrifices to create a better life for themselves but who have not started with life's material problems solved because they have material assets to make their lives easy.â That covers a broad range of ambitions
Anyone with merely the potential to escape poverty is considered middle class by this definition. That includes, e.g., the minimum wage fry cook because one day he could in theory become manager.
They had the guy who runs the TSA reply to a petition asking for it to be disbanded or scaled back. I think that pretty much says it all
They had the "drug czar" answer a petition asking why marijuana could not be regulated like alcohol. This was a petition where 75,000 people signed, and they got an answer from someone who is satutorily prohibited from agreeing with the petition. Alcohol was not mentioned once. I think *that* pretty much says it all.
Why is this bewildering? No one in power actually wants to do anything that would have any effect on future shootings, so people who care do something meaningless to make them feel better.
Jocks go on to become executives, lawyers, and politicians. Social outcasts might shoot up a movie theater every year or so, but it was jocks who got us into Iraq and caused civilian casualties in the hundreds of thousands.
This is why computers have interfaces with overlapping windows, and good computers have interfaces with virtual desktops. The workflow is pretty simple. Open all your documents on desktop 1. Move them one at a time to desktop 2. On desktop 2, take the notes you need and classify them appropriately. When done, move them to desktops 3 or 4(or 5 or 6) depending on how you classified them. You can add as many desktops as you need to simulate as many stacks as you need.
If it's anything like my old office, it's filled with a mixture of people unwilling or unable to learn ANYTHING new. ANYTHING new, no matter how simple.
In my department we place orders by filling out a requisition and emailing it to our administrative assisstant...who then prints them out and deletes the email to save space.
Changing my assertion to a generic form that is clearly untrue does not actually refute my assertion. Try again.
Really, please do. I would love to believe that the government has my best interests at heart, but there is no such evidence available. Show me when the government has chosen to act for the best interests of the people over the best interests of the rich.
If you had read any political history, you'd recognize that it's much much worse today than it has been in recent history. You have to go 100 years back to find a government so cravenly beholden to the rich and powerful. Our government is more corrupt than any in living memory, that qualifies for a "these days".

Rape is in no way comparable to murder. Punishing rape with death is disproportionate.

"asked for" I'm pretty sure you meant to say they demanded your fingerprints.
Which religious practices has Obama restricted?

He's found the correct group to vilify. That's progress.

Crony capitalism is not capitalism
Crony capitalism is what actually happens when you implement captialism in the real world. Capitalism is the theory, cronyism is the practice.
Old biddies and their moral panics cause more problems than anything old biddies panic over.
