The GP is correct, that sites are increasingly moving towards facebook as a means and only means to post comments and sign up for things. 2 national newspapers use it as the only means to leave comments for example, it just gets sadder from there when you see other major sites across north america doing the same thing.
Personally my form of protest is simply to stop visiting said site and use a major aggregation/rss feed for news.
If it's $6k it might have a place in the market. Anymore and it simply costs too much for the limited range especially when you're looking at the geographic scope of north america in the first place. One of the main reasons why people don't live in major cities and commute is because they don't like the city, but that's where their job is. That isn't even touching on public transportation, which is either poor or non existent.
Well this probably won't catch on anyway, especially since people seem to be looking away from building things like nuclear power plants, and people in the US have this irrational fear of plutonium, and breeder reactors.
So wait. Attempting to stop groups from directly influencing an election especially media outlets is undemocratic? I dunno. Seems to me to be the opposite. As that small minority(20%), who swing are the ones who actually make or break the vote.
See I generally have a problem when a news outlet comes out a few hours before polls close and tries to influence an electoral outcome. To me that's undemocratic, and vote tampering.
Well it seems between Elections Canada and various elections boards in the US, EC has the right idea. Anyone who's paid attention to the polls and the media spouting their favorite top floppy head on election night, for or against has a direct impact on the outcome.

Well that applies to Canada, the US, and most of Central and South America then. The only countries that don't are in Asia, and a couple in Europe.
Voluntary is the new mandatory. Much like volunteering for various organizations(and is voluntary). Which is mandatory to get your highschool diploma in many places in north america these days.
1. Why would a shark need an accoutant? 2. Does laser beam really perform well in that job?
1: Shark Accountants, not need an accountant. Because a blood bath is a feeding frenzy! 2: Yes. All the better to terrorize you with, oh and keep the blood on the inside!
BRB I'm going to launch a new company that analyzes tech companies who are about to launch a new IPO for high sums. I'm sure my new business will be worth at least a trillion dollars, oh and we have sharks...with laser beams on their heads as accountants.
It's not a falsehood, you just don't understand economics. Increasing taxes doesn't increase economic activity rather they retard it. To put it simply. Tax cuts spur economic activity, in turn spur job growth, in turn pushing more investment in ones company. When tax rates increase, a company will ride out profits as long as they can until they're forced to cut back.
Taxes don't help businesses, money going to the government doesn't help anyone except those that are getting help from the government. As for why are stocks back up to pre-recession levels? For the same reason that they were back up to pre-depression levels in the 30's before the big crash. Lots of liquidity in the market due to quantitative easing.
Nah. This is 'common knowledge' in law, law enforcement, the courts, and other legal and various areas of sociology and psychology. Whether you think I need sources is moot, when I've give you the information that I learned a few years ago. This if you've been paying attention is also why you're now seeing a boom in internal white collar private security arrangements with people working for a company and cutting of theft at the source.
Well at least at any company that cares to recover major losses. I mean hey what's the loss of one persons salary when they've already stolen double that.
Yep. 70% of the population will steal. Of that 70% it further breaks down into two groups 30% and 40% respectively. The 'get away' I already mentioned, the other is they will regardless even if they get caught. This falls into the shoplifter area, people who steal office supplies all the time, and so on.
A further point on this is that the 30% that don't steal, act as a moderating factor on the other 70%. But that starts to get into the sociology and psychology of people, and that's something I never got into too much.
Gee, better let lawyers, cops, judges, justices, and everyone who works in law know that those are buzz words, rather than the methods on how crime is considered and dealt with. Those are theories that are used today in criminal and civil law. If you don't understand law, and how it fits into the grand scope of criminology, a 1 year crash course is available at most upstanding universities for a small fee of around $10000.
Sure does. In law it falls under the common knowledge rational. Whether it's common knowledge to you is irrelevant, to police, lawyers and judges it is.
Practicing law without a license? But that would make these people who wasted nearly a decade on getting their law degree redundant! Better fire off a lawsuit (good thing they're good at this kind of thing)!
Something similar actually already happened here in Canada, rather ontario between the upper canada law society and non-registered legal experts who weren't paralegals but represented people in court for things like compensation claims, and so on. The law society argued that these people were practicing without a license, in turn the government passed a law making it so that they had to be at least paralegals. And in turn fell under the upper-canada law society, meaning that they now also had to pay yearly administration fees and so on.
It really wasn't about the quality of the people who were doing this. It was their desire to get everyone who was doing legal work all under their umbrella so they could milk money from them.
Well I'm not going to go digging through 3 years worth of stored notebooks and textbooks for you. You can go look up these books though: Criminology today Canuck ed. Sociology and Canadian Society Foundations of criminal and civil law in Canada Principals of effective policing Diversity issues in law enforcement
And I'd suggest an indepth reading and study of: Chicago School, Classical School, Conflict Criminology.
With additional reading in these areas: Conflict theory of social constructs, Strain theory, Rational choice theory, and Routine activity theory.
Right. And criminology is still in the dark ages, and we use leeches and blood letting as the main sources of medical treatment today. Dig your head out of your ass, there are competing theories on crime. And many criminal theories rest into two specific schools. Those being:
Bad parenting+lifestyle+societal factors = criminal action and Chance+opportunity+risk = criminal action
I believe that the second is more appropriate. As even in average, society roughly 40% of people will steal if they feel they can get away with it, and 30% will steal no matter what. This is your basic material covered in your crim101 courses.
Keep telling yourself that, and eventually the BS will become true. In the reality of the world in political makeup nearly every political party in europe which is 'right wing' is centreist or just slightly right of centre. Even the 'far right' parties, are slightly to the right.
Personally I find the $7.99 price, on a $6.99(US)($9.99cdn) paperback to be rather expensive. I already own most of these, simply because I like books and buy stuff I might eventually read. But I think I'll just wait for them to be cracked, and download them out of fucking spite for charging so much.
Yeah this is pretty much true. You get out of southern ontario, or a few hundred clicks out of any major city in the plains or out east and your cell service is spotty at best. There's just too much of nothing, with no people here. Gotta figure though 70% of our population live within 100mi of the US border which explains where most cell services are.

Well like most things...
Voluntary is the new mandatory. Much like volunteering for various organizations(and is voluntary). Which is mandatory to get your highschool diploma in many places in north america these days.
Two questions:
1. Why would a shark need an accoutant?
2. Does laser beam really perform well in that job?
1: Shark Accountants, not need an accountant. Because a blood bath is a feeding frenzy!
2: Yes. All the better to terrorize you with, oh and keep the blood on the inside!
Obviously not.

Seems to me that the protect act violates the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th sections of the bill of rights.
I'd say that americans should be getting pretty close to the bullet box option by now.

Except the right wing in France isn't right-wing. Rather it's left of centre, with huge cultural blind spots as much as the left. Just not as bad.

Right. Of course the scanners are useless, better to use you know proven security screening methods like ... profiling(behavioral and otherwise).
Of course not. It's perfect in every form, especially those blurry screenshots.
Sure. I guess 0.45/kwh to 0.92/kwh is cheap depending on where you live, and if you're snorting coke off the breasts of a $10,000 a night whore too.
