"illegally gathered location data"? My understanding is that the rightful owner gave the police permission to track the phone to obtain its whereabouts. "Possession is nine-tenths..." sounds good and all, but that other 10% can be a real bitch when it really counts.
And those laws are written such that they apply as the default when no prenup is in force. There were issues about enforcing prenups way back for basically the reasons you state but "the laws" have changed to allow prenups to "override the default."
Please post us the proof that you've been surgically sterilized so we can all relax, comfortable with the knowledge that you aren't going to be "bring[ing] more life into this world."
I'm certain the legalities can be sorted out in the same way that adoption (child generally has four possible parents there), sperm donation and egg donation are currently worked out.
So we should only allow fertilization via copulation and anything else ist verboten?
Personally, I consider it a very unnatural act to go around sticking little needles into people and injecting things into them for the sole purpose of giving their immune systems a head start against a few diseases. You do understand that those needles and what they contain aren't grown on trees or vines, right?
"Looking at a cell phone is not offensive." "Holding the camera up pointing at the room with the screen towards you would be offensive whether or not you were filming."
Well, which is it? Am I holding it up so my friends and I can see the screen or to get it out of the glare as we watch a youtube video or to film the room? How can you tell? The actions in both of your statements are the same but you say they are obviously different. I say only obvious to the one doing but not to the one observing.
So, how is the smartphone different from the glasses in this respect?
So we can't have nice things because somebody might abuse them? I for one hope that never becomes the universal logic because I really enjoy some of my nice things like my car, my computer and access to the internet. All of those are readily abused to harm others.
"bored Indians"... Really? In what sense is a "bored Indian" more natural than a lumberjack going about his business? The only sense I can think of is when one chooses to use "Indian" to mean "a savage" or some such similar nonsense.
What sins are you talking about? I wasn't discussing the religious implications of a theoretical person's actions. i was talking about social policy and how I view it as unfair that someone would be willing to act in that manner and then demand that others come armed to my house demanding that I pay her.
And if you think an armed visit is an exaggeration, stop paying any federal tax in the US for awhile (while having employment that causes you to have that legal requirement. IRS agents are armed.
No, they are Canadians just like Mexicans are Mexicans and Chileans are Chileans and Germans are Germans.
Besides, not all US residents are Americans just like all Canadian residents are not Canadian. Residency has nothing to do with citizenship and nationality.
but most English speakers not trying to trick someone would use "less alkaline" to help point out that the oceans started on the alkaline side and are still on the alkaline side.
more acidic to people not stopping to consider the starting and ending means "I can't go in because it will burn my skin off" while "less alkaline" to most people means closer to neutral.
"Let's pretend"... Yes, the AGW crowd seems to be doing plenty of that with their numbers.
Take down all those rural weather stations because we don't need them. We can just use the numbers from the ones located in the middle of the asphalt parking lots and pretend we know how to properly adjust the numbers to get some data we can pretend is accurate.
" If food becomes more plentiful I bet crime goes down." Yup, those kids broke into my garage and stole my bikes to sell for drug money because they had no food at home.
"global evidence" All the areas that warmed up contribute the increase to the average global temperature while all the areas that cooled down contribute zero to the average global temperature.

Yes, that is the severability clause referred to in previous posts that almost all contracts have.

add compounding interest as part of some basic consumer math
and maybe you could stop being an ass
Then society should put the kids in a better situation and teach them not to follow in mommy's footsteps.

Did he propose banning all crypto-currencies or only the high-powered, high-capacity ones?

The selling of the undeveloped land almost definitely included reaping quite a load of money for some lumber companies when the hardwood was sold.
Ah, yes. They did that not because they were bored but because that was their way of managing their environment. So the question is still valid.

Where the hell do USicans live?
I think beelsebob is confusing "redistribute" and "distribute".
"but nothing about it is fair, balanced" That depends completely upon your (and my) very subjective definition of fair.
I certainly don't define fair as "she has chosen to not graduate from high school and have five kids so she deserves X number of dollars per month."

"in the climate field"... The only way to get into "the climate field" is to believe in AGW so why the hell do only most of them believe it.
