The first statement asks that everyone should pay for their own healthcare. So if a person who has no money goes to an emergency room, they are going to be told to go away. What's so hard to understand about that?
You don't need to have a doctorate in chemistry, but you do need to know enough to answer any questions the child might have. So you have to know a LOT more then a nine year old, and you can't predict which topics the kid will want to know about. The same with all the other subjects: physics, biology, history. Some of those answers might be easy to look up, but some will need years of education for you to be able to answer them correctly. That's one of the reason that teachers are usually specialized to a single subjects, or a few closely related subjects.
There haven't been all that many civilian launches either. Now that it's been proven to work, many companies will probably jump on the bandwagon and try to make some money from launches. So sooner or later you're going to get a CEO that realizes that all of those safety measures employed on the craft are eating into his bonus money. So a craft will crash into something valuable, with the CEO demanding the government pay for the damages.
The looser is required to pay the winner the same amount as that which they paid their own lawyers. But there is nothing preventing the winner from paying his own lawyer more (or less) then the amount awarded.
And what exactly can you do if he doesn't? Not vote for him in the next election, when the damage has already been done? Sure you might be able to replace him/her, but there is no guarantee that the new one will be any better.
No one forced those people to enlist. They got greedy/stupid and joined the army of their own free will. Then they were told to do what they were being paid to do, and some of them died doing it. Sure it's a tragedy that the war even happened, but the soldiers chose their own fates.
The problem might be bandwidth and laws. The crawlers would have to download every file found on every site they visit, then calculate the checksum. So they would generate a pretty heavy load on the sites they visit AND they would likely be guilty of copyright infringement, since many of the files that are 'available' for download are copyrighted. At least I assume that automated downloads are still illegal, even if you then remove the copy.
Well we're supposing that free will is the thing that can make us do things that are NOT part of the purpose. So a person who is brain-dead will follow the purpose. And a brain dead person will not do anything.
I'm pretty sure half of Europe didn't want to you stop being isolationist the first time. And your intervention in WW1 probably caused WW2, so you shouldn't feel to proud about having to come back to fix the mess you helped create.
The interesting thing is that he even forgot to tell the people what his purpose is. So I guess the only way for a person to be 'safe' from rebelling against his will is to do absolutely nothing.
No you don't. You do then when you ORDER your food. Or do you consider it OK for them to bring you a glass of water and charge you 100$ for it as soon as you sit down?
It's because lawmakers likely teach their children how to bully, but don't know enough about cyberbullying to do the same. Also, bullying is less likely to harm the bullies political career later in life. It's much harder to 'expose' your opponent if all you have is the word of a former victim, then it is if you have detailed transcripts of everything he/she wrote.
So cyberbullying makes a hands fell-good tough-on-crime target. Prohibit something that they don't care about, but many parents do.
Short term oil production won't matter. What will be the limiting factor will be oil transport. Prices will spike because of the danger of tankers being sunk while under way out of Saudi Arabia. As for the economic collapse, the problem will be that one country going down will probably drag others with it. Just look at Europe. If Greece goes bankrupt it will probably cause the collapse of banks that gave them loans. That will in turn cause an even worse recession in the rest of Europe. With GDP down, Spain and other countries like it might follow Greece. With so many countries defaulting, my guess is that US banks will also be in pretty bad shape.
Can the US keep another war going if it has to bail out it's banks AGAIN?
As for the definition of win, taking it's enemies with it seems the best result that Iran can hope for in case of a war. Sure it's probably not something they hope will happen, but the result is still better then just lying down to die.
I'm hoping the voters have learned something from those occupations. If no American voters then at least those of other NATO members. So if the US goes in, it would probably have to go in alone. So what you'd have is: oil price panic, even faster rising debt and 3 countries in the region that need US support to even exist. My guess is that Europe would spiral into a complete collapse due to just the oil prices, dragging down US banks with it. So the US government would have to bail them out again. With so much needed cast and shrinking demand for luxuries, I'm guessing even China would start having problems supplying so much credit.
So the Iranian government 'wins'. They cripple their opponent just by being defeated.
Convincing people to go to war may be easy. Convincing them to pay trillions to keep the country occupied will be hard. So we'll have a destroyed government, no foreign army to keep control and stockpiles of enriched uranium. I wonder where the first dirty bomb will go off?
So the producer is forced to sell cheap stuff while creating a lot of pollution? Sure the consumer shares the blame, but the producers are the ones that can see the process first hand. And don't talk about the poor people in India and China. If they have too high populations for the resources they have, that's not the fault of the rest of the world. If they had shown some restraint in the past they'd be living better lives now.
All they have to do is sink a few tankers and drop a few mines. That could create enough of a panic to start another recession. Let the US try to keep Iran occupied then.

Or higher. If they could completely prevent piracy, the prices would probably rise. After all, there would be no competition.
If there is no fresh water and it doesn't rain for a few days then no technique will help you.

That's only true if it can't change course.
The UK will 'forget' to do it in this case.
There is also another problem. They are measuring only the bias toward the two main parties. What about bias toward/against other points of view?

Null pointer for the counter until a complaint is registered.
