What are they trying to imply with this statement, "...offers virtually all of the controls you'd find in a DSLR camera"? Kind of a way to trick people into thinking it's DSLR-quality which is BS. 22MP is nice but how is it's low-light abilities and dynamic range? Seems like marketing hype...
The government is using "terrorism" as a buzz word to do what they want. I don't care if President Bush or Obama started it, this isn't an issue based on political parties. I do think programs like these have grown and they are always justified by "hunting terrorism." When the Director of National Intelligence, Mr. Clapper, tried to explain away and justify the NSA program he cited it's effective use vs terrorism.
What other reason is there other than distrust of Americans and I don't think they will go that far.
I don't think these programs are inherently bad, but they need a lot of oversight to prevent them from devolving into a big brother state...that's all. I still love my country but we (e.g. average citizens) need to let our elected representatives know what we want, and if being watched is ok with the majority of citizen, then so be it. I don't mind too much but I don't want to see drones spying on Americans.
Ironic you chose those wordsthe First Lady was, "for the first time in her life", "proud to be an American." I think we the people need to speak our minds and let The Man know we don't want to give up our rights as Americans. Doesn't this mean the terrorists are winning if their actions cause our government to infringe on our rights?
Looks like someone already locked your brain up and threw away the keyuse facts and not emotions. Did he know Zimmerman had a gun? Martin could have just left the area instead of acting tough.
I think Tea Party folks want to shrink the government and have tax reform to eliminate loopholes and make everyone pay something. There are far too many poor people who pay absolutely nothing in, and far too many rich people who pay a LOT in. Let's simplify the tax code so that everyone pays...if everyone pays then everyone cares, we get more revenue, and if we simplify things we can fire some of the 93,000+ IRS employees (as of 2009).
Off the top of my head, we could eliminate income taxes which target those who report earnings and enact a higher sales tax which makes EVERYONE who buys anything pay a tax. So, instead of paying 8% sales tax and 28% income tax, for example, a person might simply pay 20% sales tax. No under the table shenanigans, no IRS needed at all, and it's fair (e.g. you buy more you pay more). Of course food would not be taxed at all (like a lot of states currently do).
Stop thinking the Tea Party is out to get anyone...they simply want less government as more government equals more waste and more limits on freedom.
Then you as a parent have the obligation to control what your children see. OpenDNS is a good start and you can block anything...just point your router's DNS to them and configure away. Leave us alone and get off our lawn!
No, it's not a reach. The first step is understanding your own internal bias and either accepting them or working to mitigate their effect on your behavior. You definitely were stereotyping Tea Party conservatives, people who generally want nothing other than what is guaranteed in the Constitution.
Now you're making excuses. If we can't act on the kind of proof the Russians provided then why even bother to collect so much data? You collect data knowing you can act on it...
I think you can find a compromise where the government doesn't need to monitor everything we do. Take the Boston bombers. Russia warned us and yet we still didn't target any of the communications they made that the investigators later found on their phones and computers. What a fantastic system, eh? Don't let the government fool you into giving up your privacy. Remember a few months ago when they wanted you to give up your guns? What's next...
Rather than support abortion why don't you support contraceptives and abstinence? Easier to prevent the root cause rather than the symptoms and you won't have to abort a human.
Gimme a few days and I'll solder one together for you in my basement out of some old kitchen appliances. I guarantee it won't turn you into a vegetable and if it does, good luck finding me without slipping in all your drool.
So you think discriminating a political party and stereotyping everyone within it is ok? How is that different from race, sex, etc.? Oh, probably because it follows your political affiliation (e.g. liberal) so you don't mind. Let one group discriminate against another and soon enough it will eventually be discriminating against you.

Yeah...kind of funny how the "killing of Bin Laden" went down...no proof whatsoever he's actually dead.
It's sad to see that we're becoming Animal Farm.
Not when the media ignores the scandals and chicanery that goes on and continues to whistle as they pass the graveyard.
Yup...after BMW makes this car they'll have to change their motto, "the ultimate driving machine" to something lesser.
Your commend reminds me of a signature line a project manager I worked with recently had:
"you can have it fast, cheap, or good, pick any two."
It is currently impossible to satisfy all the things you'd like, pick any two.

I lump them all together...
It seems like law makers keep wanting to find ways to monitor everything we do. Getting a little annoying...what will it take to make them stop?
Then we can adjust to accommodate them but they still need to pay something in...even if it's a little bit.

...and if I were a dumb ass I'd make comments stereotyping people who believe in the Constitution and in limited government...

That is an idiotic argument as the Republican party is in no way like the Nazi party.

Right, if they have to pay interns then there will be no more interns. Thanks Mr./Ms. Judge for FUBARing yet another part of society.
Some of the testimonials are really funny...I laughed hard reading some of them.
