Nonsense. Pavement people put up all sorts of barriers. And you know what? They can be sued if the barrier fails. But it's physical failure that can cause physical harm.
Ethics, schmethics! The lesson to learn is to never give out your real name, use prepaid cards and throw-away email, and if they snoop your IP, use a proxy.
I believe the gist of the story is that you don't *own* anything, not even your body or its parts. Riddle me this. If your arm is amputated in the hospital, will you be allowed to take it home, and have it mounted above the mantle? And what if the hospital puts you in the rubber room for even asking? I'm sorry, man, but you and everything you know belongs to... them!
Damn! I forgot to mention, they got some good drugs, too, in case you're into that sort of thing. Now, if you have any further doubts, feel free to ask, thankyouverymuch
"Abu Khaled,like other ISIS members, was paid $100 per month, in U.S. greenbacks, not Syrian lira, despite the latter being the coin of the realm in al-Bab. Currency exchange houses exist in the city where ISIS employees can take their salaries for conversion, although they scarcely need to, given the freebies that come with ISIS employment.
"I rented a house, which was paid for by ISIS," Abu Khaled told me. "It cost $50 per month. They paid for the house, the electricity. Plus, I was married, so I got an additional $50 per month for my wife. If you have kids, you get $35 for each. If you have parents, they pay $50 for each parent. This is a welfare state."
"This is why a lot of people are joining," said Abu Khaled. "I knew a mason who worked construction. He used to get 1,000 lira per day. That's nothing. Now he's joined ISIS and gets 35,000 lira---$100 for himself, $50 for his wife, $35 for his kids. He makes $600 to $700 per month. He gave up masonry. He's just a fighter now, but he joined for the income."
Sorry to run your little bandwagon off the cliff there, honey. Do try to cope the best you can. Ever think of moonlighting? I'm sure they're hiring...

The Queen of England has more power than hollow words without the will and the balls it takes to enforce them.
Seamonkey is better anyway.. All we need now is SeamonkeyOS (SOS), and the machine will be complete, better than Chrome...
I don't recall this ever coming up as an election issue.
Exactly...
Simple solution: mandatory disclosure of released information after 1 year.
That won't happen until it becomes an election issue. Without it, there is no incentive. We are on our own...
What's troubling is that people allow it to happen. The polls all say that they want it. The reelection rates confirm it.
I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now...
To paraphrase: ...the higher you go, the crookeder it becomes...
Corruption is always directly related to proximity.

There is ZERO credibility left. Absolutely none.
Okay, great. So now what? It's not like to will affect the elections or anything. So what difference does "credibility" make?

Sure, but some of us would rather give them the opportunity to do something dickish and then hold their feet to the fire
I can assure you it is not working out that way. There is no fire.

Prepaid cards don't require ID. Give 'em any name you like, and use a burner email account.
Oh please! Pull the other one...
Leave your lesser evil nonsense at the door. Horse trading with terrorists never produced anything good, except for the traders.
stupid illegal invasion of Iraq
The only error in that statement is one of omission. The invasion of Afghanistan was not any more justified than Iraq.
And the empire still stands...
There is a difference between the government telling what you can and can not do, and a company telling you.
Not when the government is serving the company, protecting its monopoly. The relationship is quite symbiotic, it defines them both.

Yes, they ARE being paid...

Blocking will not remain optional for very long. The old slippery slope applies here.
First they blocked ads, but I don't see ads
Then they blocked porn, but I don't watch porn... (Liar!)
Then they blocked politicians... well, that's okay (No it's not!)
Then they blocked Slashdot... Okay that's going too far, everybody, out!
