Why not just say PACs can't donate, period. Only citizens can donate, and set a limit on how much each can donate (calculated based on inflation). Then again corporations could just give all their employees money and say "you can keep half of this if you give the other half to this politician." Any ideas for how to close a loophole like that?
The US IS policing the world right now. And I for one think that is an incredibly arrogant attitude to have. The world can police itself-that's what we have the UN for. And if they aren't doing a great job then the US, having quite a bit of global influence, should try to get the UN to a place where it can actually do some good, rather then trying to do the job ourselves. Instead we are pulling out of UN committees.
Actually I've noticed that the number of people who disagree with US policies is increasing. Slowly, yes, but people who are out of work and have very little to do but actually pay attention to what is going on seem to be getting the picture.
Denial is a very dangerous thing to mess with. If someone wants to put their fingers in their ears and believe a certain thing there is no amount of anything that will convince them otherwise.
So does the fact that there were seeds mean that there are wild TCP/IP protocols growing out there in the world? Simply amazing. And they wonder where all these strange botnet viruses are coming from... I bet here in America we got the genetically modified version from Bell Labs too.
Well yes... But any scientist who found proof of something against God's laws was generally killed as a heretic. Such as the earth going around the sun...
Just as its the fault of Apple consumers for buying Apple products, knowing that they hire companies that do massive polluting (no I don't actually believe this, but see where we can go with that kind of assumption?).
While that's true, you CAN disagree with how the facts were collected, thus disagreeing with the validity of the facts. And sadly enough a lot of "facts" turn out to be informed opinion.
Eh, to be honest that joke is past its due. There are plenty of women on the net, but most of them don't want to say they are women for fear of being ostracized (or worse)
Well it just seems rather childish to me.
"prove it!"
"You prove it first!"
I personally feel that if you say something on a forum like this, if someone says "prove it", you should be able to do so, instead of resorting to mind games.
But that's just me.:)
I'm sorry to go against the general flood of hate against this guy (not that I disagree with it either), but how specifically does the first amendment ban spineless bastards? Yes, I agree they aren't generally good, but nowhere I know of is being a spineless bastard banned (it's supported, in fact, by the current system, but that's neither here nor there).

When did GP say Rodney King had to do with extradition?

And even if you can afford it no one wants Americans living there. Being tourists and spending money, yes, but living there, no.

There's very little quality control on the apps facebook hosts, since there are so many (often many doing the exact same thing too).

Not when on call is 24/7 for a week.
They could have said over 7 tons heavier... I wonder why they settled on 5.
No, they just won't be able to get out

And in today's world our neighbors are almost every nation on the globe.

Reminds me strikingly of another country in more modern times...
I had one. It was the coolest thing I owned for a while. Looked ridiculous on my wrist though. I probably still have it somewhere in a box...
I can write a bug-free one line perl solution, but what happens when someone needs to maintain it?
If it's in perl? You sacrifice to the voodoo gods whenever you need to maintain it, of course.

Really? Then why do so many do it? Clearly those laws don't have much of an effect...
AFAIK They do it all the time. Why do you think people are always complaining about how bad the editors are?
My friend got an iPhone, 6 days ago. Not an iPhone 6. :P

I read this in the firehose before it was posted. To be fair to the submitter, the original summary was very different.
