    You could always turn it back at them and start advocating against the rape of poor drunk men by women looking to get something from them. Taking advantage of a guy when he is drunk is rape, just as it is when it is a woman that is drunk.

    When it is talking about censoring parts of the internet from the internet access of the university (which is also used in the dorms, with no option of other ISPs), do you agree with that somehow?

  3. He started a long time ago.

  4. Private cell towers on campus with censorship built in.

    It is possible, just not a pretty sight.

  5. I doubt you will lose your job, but it will be used as an excuse for why you have to be paid less.

  6. Conservatives try to prevent you from expressing your opinion, and try to take away your freedoms? Since when?

  7. or force women to be second class citizens with no right to have the medical treatments of their choice,

    The problem with this is, is murder a medical procedure? Being pro choice is allowing people to use the pill or condom, not allowing people to kill a life because it is inconvenient. I don't have a problem with medically necessary abortions, or abortions in the case of rape/incest as the person didn't make a choice. Choosing to kill a child because you don't want it is a terrible thing, especially when there are many people who would happily welcome the child into their family.

  8. How is being a Republican for smaller government opposite of what they say? There are constitutionally mandated sections of the government, trying to keep them strong and funded doesn't preclude being against large government.

    That was about the best comment I have ever seen from an AC, you should create an account and participate int eh discourse and your chosen identifier and not hide in the shadows.

  10. It would be an appropriate response if any person calling for censorship was themselves censored so that they understand the error of their ways and perhaps can change their ways and grow as citizens.

    I don't recall seeing anything about that, do you have any links?

    It is hard to call what happened in Gaza anything but self defense, when someone is firing rocket barrages at civilian targets, what Israel did in response was pretty tame, if it was the US they were attacking, the response wouldn't have been so tame. In fact, the phone calls warning of impending attack were a nice touch.

    The coalition forces that consisted of natives of Syria who decided to overthrow their dictator in the Arab Spring? Maybe a coalition of rebels? Not sure what coalition forces you speak of, as NATO only intervened after ISIS started running around trying to conquer everything and started raping and destroying cultural landmarks.

    Have you ever driven in Massachusetts?

  14. How would they even be able to tell, you can modify your car to install the coils in the bottom, and they don't even have to be exposed where they can be seen. It would just be another draw on the system, just like all the other ones.

    Someone else suggested some kind of authentication, but I don't see how that would work at highway speeds, if someone has an idea of that, I would love to hear it.

  15. How does a camera show that you installed a coil in the bottom of your car (could be covered, doesn't have to be exposed) to steal power while you are driving on a road.

    I worry that people like this vote, without a basic understanding of the real world.

    Higher minimum wage leads to more people out of work. If you are working as an adult and earning minimum wage, you should look at yourself, not the government for a solution. There are many companies (including Walmart) that pay above minimum wage.

    The minimum wage is designed for those jobs that high school students work to get experience. It is not designed to be a living wage, trying to make it a living wage cuts out jobs that kids in high school would do, and makes it more difficult to get your first job, therefore leading to the problem we have now where kids are leaving college and moving back home at record numbers. There are no true entry level jobs left.

  17. Yeah, I can't imagine how they will "secure" this system from people "stealing" their magnetic waves.

    As a result it has damage my credit record, and I can't even get them into court to correct it.

    Good luck getting the person's real name.

    You can however sue the debt collection agency in small claims court and win when they don't show up, then submit the debt to a debt collector when they fail to respond.

    I take it you have never been to a hospital?

    The local hospital in my area has stopped sending bills, and now just sends all the bills to a debt collector. You then get inundated with calls to pay a bill that you can't even verify, which possibly could be fraud. Do you pay?

    Good luck getting any money from people without telling who you are :)

    That goes both ways, if they won't tell you who they are, they can't extract money from anybody either as no one would know who to pay.

    Um, the only time I used the dealer financing was when they offered a lower rate. Currently my Tundra is financed through Toyota Motor Finance at 0% APR...that made sense. Usually, I would go through my credit union though.

    OK, so then the burden of proof is, "Will the no dealership model cost the buyer more or less than the 30% currently attributed to the local dealership model".
