We've held the moral high-ground for the last ~9ish years without a problem. You know gitmo? The shithole that everyone complains about? Yeah. The same place where the prisoners don't want to be sent away from because they'll be treated worse. The US has the high-ground, in fact it's bending over backwards to be accommodating over it. Personally? I see that as a failing of policy.
Sometimes going beyond the point of simple retribution solves things much more quickly. But...since we still have the high-ground that won't happen.
Your logic is flawed. Just like most religious nutcases (think Jim Baker or Pat Robertson). Stop trying to suppress free people from exercising "thoughtcrimes" like pornography, smoking weed, chewing tobacco (sin tax), and so on. Victimless crimes are NOT crimes.
You might want to go study up on a few things. In the west the majority of 'thought crime' style legislation has been started and pressed by democrats and liberals. Including the latest round of sin taxes on 'salt, transfats, and sugar'. This is quickly followed up by people on the right because the electorate by and far is dense as a post and see this as 'pressing issues' and 'important things to protect the children', and in turn continue with it.
Meh it's just like the war on drugs for you guys. You go after the people smoking it, or selling it to a few buddies instead of going after the major growers/sellers. Yeah it's harder, but it has much larger results. That's the general way we deal with both problems in Canada. Much better results.
Sadly this type of prosecution is the result of crowns and DA's wanting to get their name in lights for 'doing something'.
Rebar is the big problem modern construction. It gets wet, it will wick water from the outside. It expands differently from the surrounding material(leading to cracking from the inside). In days of yore it was an unknown, building materials + concrete mix where what was used to make it strong.
As for not knowing how to do it? You're right. We're still nearly 2000 years behind in concrete construction and understanding how the romans did it, and did it well.
Well they will last 100 years. You still need to do maintenance. It's like my house, it's 180yrs old. But it won't last another 5 if I never keep the maintenance going on it.
You shouldn't fear police. What you should fear is overzealous government agencies which step beyond the bounds of the law to try and create a fiefdom, and in turn use the police as a political tool. Of course it doesn't help that in the US when you had a shortage of police, you would take anyone breathing to fill the job. Or that the police wages are on average so ungodly low, that some think that a bribe or three won't hurt.
Hardly. Their debt bomb is the ghost cities, and hyper inflated housing prices. With the average wage under $3k/usd a year, and hosing prices fast approaching half a million, there's going to be some serious really fast.
Except there's a line between trolls, and people who's opinions you don't want to hear even if they're truthful and/or factual. And things like this give mods who aren't impartial, or can step above trolling themselves a way to inflict harm on the user base. I know more than one site that's done this to people simply because 'dissenting opinions from the echo chamber aren't allowed'.
What? You mean Islam doesn't need to grow up and join Christianity, Judaism and the other religions of the world in having a reformation or 5 or 7? And once that's done putting the 'mainstream' will put the extremists out to pasture, or police their own, or call them out like other religions do? I can see the problems with your last sentence already. Mainstream Islam outside of the US, Canada and a very small part of Europe are still stuck in about 1100AD thinking.
But considering imams put an automatic death sentence on anyone mentioning that(much like the other religions did 800-2000 years ago), I'm sure this will work out just fine.
Federal law trumps state law? Well there's your problem. What ever happened to a weak federal government and a strong state/local government down there in the US anyway...
Why? If IQ scores measure motivation as well as intelligence, then admissions based on IQ already do favor those who want to do the work.
It's not a true measurement. See the reality is, when I was much, much younger I was lazy. I had 0 motivation to do much of anything unless I can find some fun context to put it into. Otherwise... meh... I couldn't be bothered. People who are high on the standard curve find a lot of this stuff well boring, stupid, or a waste of time. And would rather not do it.
I found school boring, found tests annoying or stupid. I'd rather have slept or done anything else I wanted to do. I still fondly remember the days when they wanted to put me into "special education" classes because they thought I was as dense as a box of rocks. Didn't work out too well, considering I tested in the 98th percentile in all of the standardized testing at the time leaving them, scratching their heads over all of it. But I found that round of testing fun, not mediocre. It was something that actually tested me and what I understood.
Everyone hates it? I sure don't. I'm Canadian, and I see a need for it, and good reasons to have it.(then again our intelligence and security services have done thing that would make american eyes pop out of their heads to 'preserve national security') Whether or not you want to believe that the world is pixie dust, and cars can be fueled by unicorn shit doesn't matter. There's several problems of course with your post. The countries that some of these guys come from, don't want them. Not at all. They don't want the legal headaches, or simply don't care. Countries where they are shipped back, or released to. These guys as quickly as they can high tail it and head right back to being non-uniformed combatants.
Then again, if we were playing by the rules. They'd be dead on the battle field, or summarily executed when caught. We already go above the standards by keeping them alive. The only reason why it's worth capturing them, is to glean information even if it's a grain of gold in a pile of sand.
I think it's more along the lines of they're happy not shoving it down everyone's throat and going on with their lives. I do know a fair number of conservative homosexuals and that seems to be their line of thinking. Then again I could never understand liberal homosexuals and their desire to support groups that are directly opposed to their continued existence in various parts of the world.
Then again I'm not a homosexual. Maybe the innate deathwish thing is natural for liberal homosexuals?
Not really news in Canada either. There's either companies that do it for you, or the stores itself do it. Then again, you jump back 50 years and you could get everything delivered too. For the last year I've had milk delivered to my house once a week. The local dairy does it here, and it costs nothing. I'm glad to see my milk box is getting a use again.
How does a group with no centralized leadership do anything? Simple answer: It doesn't. Rather this is the guise of people doing something under a name. Beh I could get a group of people and call ourselves the Flying Monkey Butts of Uranus, and then start putting out inane blather.
They're still making new ide drives, and probably will for another 5 years. But you can get 4200-5200rpm drives in the choice of your brand pretty easily.

You also need a constant internet connection plugged into your skull.

Yeah well nortel tanked pretty hard on their own stupidity. Much like how BCE is doing.

What? ~13 years of a liberal majority weren't enough for you? Or did you just turn 18 and this is your first election?

Yeah well it wasn't new by '93 because we have the day which will not be spoken of.

I still have nightmares.

And thus your post proves the parents point. Let me know when Islam grows up.

Says the AC. I'm impressed. Why don't you post with your nick? Ah I get it. And an american educate me about my freedom? Right...
Incorrect. It's not an affront to the law, in fact it's beyond the call of the law. I'd suggest learning the law.

But...
It wasn't the police. It was ICE, aka the federal government. I know it's hard to RTFA but sometimes it really, really does help.
Huh really?

Keep telling yourself that, there's always a centralized leader even in rebellions.
How does a group with no centralized leadership do anything? Simple answer: It doesn't. Rather this is the guise of people doing something under a name. Beh I could get a group of people and call ourselves the Flying Monkey Butts of Uranus, and then start putting out inane blather.
