Um, yeah fucking right it did. Government intervention in the housing market is what caused the financial collapse in 2008, and government intervention after the collapse is what put us in a depression.
But if there is a civil insurrection, those involved would be quickly annihilated with superior firepower.
True. The civilian firepower cannot compete with the US military. It is, however, also dependent on the military brass agreeing with attacking the citizens of the nation they are sworn to protect.
Also keep in mind during a civil insurrection, that there are A LOT more of 'us' than there are of 'them'. There would be mass defections from the military if they were ordered to fire on civilians too, and some of those folks just might bring some serious weaponry with them.
the judicial system is one big revenue stream, thanks mostly to the ridiculous war on drugs. it's big business to fight 'criminals' and it's even bigger business to lock them up.
What usually makes someone a 'geek' is their lack of social skills. This hardly translates into a recipe for success for the vast majority of people...
Actually that position is ridiculous. The 'concept of IP' is the same as the concept of the right to own private property. Without those concepts, you have nothing.
Yeah sounds like your work might suck just a little if these claims are true. We used to have around 30 Blackberry users, now down to just 6. Most others use iPhones and a few Android users... I think those 'problems' you mentioned aren't just curious, they're non-existent.
Cuz when I find it (and I will find it) I'm going to confiscate it... it will be fun to destroy this guys hard drive, you know, for security purposes. I'm sure you signed a waiver when you filled out the HR paperwork when you got hired. It ain't my fault you didn't read it moron.
Boy that's a great idea! Let's have the government run and fully control our access to the Internet. We should also have them provide us all with gas, electricity, television, radio, transportation, food, shelter, medical care, retirement... hell, why stop there? What about candy, booze, pills... everything you want and need.
We can finance this brilliant plan by contributing all our money to them, and then they can spend it where they see fit! We won't have to worry about anything anymore!!!
Why hasn't somebody thought of this genius solution before? Oh wait, I think I remember something from a history book, where this really big country on the other side of the world did just that, but things didn't work out so well...
It's only a 'living document' in the sense that it can be ammended. FWIW I wish there was more reading of the constitution by our citizenry, and teaching of the document by (unconstitutionally) government-run 'educational' facilities.
The federal government has no standing to even try and make this happen, although that doesn't mean that it won't.

We have enough to give every person currently alive 10000000000000000000000000000 different IPv6 addresses. I think we'll be OK.
And with stupid ideas like this one, we're going to need 'em. Also don't forget that the world population is always increasing.
LOL, too true...
