This is genuine curiousity, here. I've heard that spain allows it's police more power than here in the US.
Since you seem to have at least visited Spain, can you tell me if the police have regulations on the max time a person can be held; do they have to inform the suspect of his crime, rights, etc.; and, in general, what's your take on them.
You know, public speaking used to be a big thing. Good speakers would get crowds of people listening, even if they disagreed--just because they spoke well. And this got issues going. Every major movement in American history had some great speakers behind it to get the message around.
Without actually any real statistics--just a rough idea of history--the increase in apathy among the educated may well be linked to the fall of good public speaking.
We've replaced speaking with sound bytes. Who wouldn't become bitter and apathetic?
I have never met a child over the age of 4 who couldn't say what is fake and what is real--in video games, tv, movies, and imagination. Maybe there's something in the water where you come from...
Didn't they already do that? And didn't the violent crime rate more than double? While it went from almost nothing, to twice almost nothing, it's still no good...
Mine is candy coated, but where did your mom get one?

P.S. The Japanese were known for treating POW's badly during WWII. They believed in Bushido, in which it's better to commit suicide than be captured. They thought poorly of those who would surrender and applied their bushido ideals to our men.
"...you no not what you speak. I'm growing weary of reading bold assertions that are groundless and incorrect. If you aren't 100% sure of what you're talking about, just be quiet and listen. You might learn something."
That's great, really. Please repeat it in the direction of Katz.
"...there has to be a balance between the prosperity of the market and the morality of the market..."
What is the whole point of capitalism, and why did communism not work?
The point of capitalism is to use greed for public good. In the rare case that standard business doesn't satisfy the majority of people, the government modifies market conditions so a corporation willing to do anything to make money will have to do good deeds to break profit. There's no point in calling big corps greedy and immoral--we all know it. But it's a good thing. That's the point. By trying to make money, they make everyone happy.
Why did communism not work? Communism expected everyone to work for the good of the country, and with no more incentive than that. Workers work for the good cause, managers for the good cause, gov. owned business for the good cause.... It broke down because greed is the only effective driving force for business; and they eliminated it.
The current trend is to cram as many add-ons into the MB to begin with. This might do you as it frees every slot.
I have exactly the opposite preference. I want a bare-bones MB to add my own cards to--like a good BX. Designers have been trying to usurp the BX's throne by throwing in everything, but fail to realize what most people want is a simple board, an add on sound card, add on video card, add on drive controller, etc.
Oh, yeah. A dual Athlon wouldn't hurt the world. Oh well.

I don't believe the episode was designed to spark controversy, but rather bring an honest end. It didn't do that.
In a very early episode they discussed replicating or building torpedoes--they decided it wasn't possible.
How about "reverse the polarity" or "match the frequency"... That got annoying.
And what about the improvements they kept making to the sheilds and weapons to counter specific foes; but only existed in single episodes? Why not keep the changes and continue with them?

The british didn't kill anyone en-mass, but they do exclude, as every country does, the crimes their men commit during war. Every country has many soldiers guilty of the robbery, murder, and rape of other nationalities. These things happen.
The death camps were a surprise to the soldiers who took them as the war came to an end. They shocked everyone. No one know that genocide took place until the war was over.
I've heard that our Pres. at the time wanted in the war to do some good. And that clues pointed to a Japanese attack in the general area around the general time. And that our major ships, that should have been in dock, were strangely away.
Discuss.
Who pays and who's responsible?
Do the southern whites pay for using slaves, the northern whites for selling them to the south, the english for shipping and selling them to the northern americans, the african brothers that captured and sold the slaves to the english?
Who gets the money? Only blacks with a long history in the US? Any new non-white citizen?
What about the african peoples who still have the only legal slavery in the world? The black people of africa can some day make pay to the other black people of africa...
Every race has been slave to another at one point. Even white people were the sub-human slaves at one time.

That was the most lame troll I've ever had the ill luck to come across. Re-tool the thing in reply to my post.
I know you can do better.

"Right in the middle of the Reagan/Tatcher era, the propaganda/public relations machine pumping more and more bullshit through the TV tubes..."
I'm sorry to say, but you could call *any* presidency a propaganda machine. The Clinton presidency, possibly the worst.
"an ever-diminishing piece of the pie" that is actually increasing, and rapidly.
Pure straw man, Chris.
IceDiver wanted *relaxed* restrictions in *one* situation that arguably could be improved that way. As for the second paragraph there, -1 Troll.
