The other guys? It wasn't Bush was asked Congress to add 2 sentences to the NDAA giving the executive branch power to arrest and detain Americans w/o a right to trial. That was Obama. And with 60% (house) and 90% (Senate) of democrats voting for it (House).
Let's face it..... both parties are pricks. It's about time the Republicans and Democrats merge into one party (since they act basically alike), and a new 2nd party arise so we can have some real choice.
Just a hop, skip and jump away from building a WALL armed with "shoot to kill" orders on anyone who tries to leave??? Wake up America, the Democrats are NOT the Dems of yesteryear. They have morphed into tyrant wannabes.
Education software and "games" are crap. So it doesn't really matter if the outsourced team produces crap..... the government schools will buy it anyway.
Except science is based upon MULTIPLE studies that can be replicated (with same results), not just one. I am questioning the validity of this ONE study and doubt other studies will sustain it.
He stayed up late working on his experiments, then got up early to teach the 8 o'clock class. He was very jittery. I can't see how this is "good" for you and reduces risk of death.
Google+ is like the new club that just opened down the street, but few people go there because everyone is still going to the First club that they've been frequenting for years.
And that original club's popularity is unlikely to change, since popularity is self-reinforcing (people want to hang with other people).
The Court can only strike-down cases brought before them, and both Bush and Obama were very careful to make sure that doesn't happen. They drop the case before it ever has a chance to reach the justices. (Note that RIAA and MPAA use the same technique, to avoid getting DMCA or ProtectIP struck down.)
When the justices have reviewed cases before them, they've typically sided with the Constitution, such as striking down the Washington's law that effectively-forbade ownership of guns. Striking down a law that forced states to build nuclear disposal sites. Striking down warrantless searches of our cellphones. Striking down random stops along highways (unless there's a specific & urgent need: such as locating an escaped prisoner). The Court of the last ten years has done more to limit the government's power than the Court from 1940 to 2000 (which was expansionist).
Irrelevant. It was OBAMA who told Congress to add those two sentences for indefinite detainment w/o trial. The only reason he would do that is so he can use the power to grab Americans off the streets, accuse them of being terrorists, and then lock them away for 10 years w/o a trial to defend their innocence. (Probably in Guantanamo... the place Obama promised to close but never did.) Obama also assassinated 3 americans in Africa, including one 16-year-old boy, and without giving them their recognized right to trial. He is NOT the honest man you believe him to be.
Well you shouldn't. If someone calls me a "white honkey" I am not harmed by that act. It's just words and I can walk away from the idiot.
If someone beats me up, I can pull my gun and kill him. Per my natural right of self-defense.
BUT if the government has control over my body, and forbids me from smoking weed (or snorting coke) (or drinking alcohol) then that is a FAR more dangerous thing. It means the politicians and bureaucrats have control over my body, like a Middle Ages lord over his serf, and can toss me in jail any time they desire.
>>>Libertarians think they're getting freedom by eliminating the government. They're just getting corporate slavery.
More like freedom where you choose which corporation you want to deal with. (1) Libertarians are not Anarchists. Just as Fascist/corporatists are not Communists. Libertarians don't want to eliminate government completely but instead, to quote Jefferson, "If it were possible to have no government, we would. But we need to government in order to protect our rights." He also said, "No man has a right to harm another, and that's all the government should restrain him."
(2) It is government that gave Comcast its monopoly over my neighborhood. If government were downsized, the monopoly would be gone. Other companies like Apple or MSN or Time-Warner could enter the market and give us some choice.
(3) And of course we'd still have safety nets for the poor. We'd still have Food Stamps, Housing assistance, welfare checks, and unemployment. I repeat: Libertarians are SMALL government, not no-government anarchists.

Exactly. Even when I post direct articles from reputable sources like NYtimes or USAtoday about Obama assassinating 3 Americans (including a 16-year-old boy) without giving them their constitutional right to a trial to prove their innocence, there are some people who refuse to believe it. And continue loving the man. (Or just call me racist against black people.)
The SCOTUS has already ruled that signing statements have no legal standing. They apply to the president currently in charge, but not future presidents.
Also Obama's white house was the source of these two sentences. His administration specifically asked Congress to add them to the NDAA. So he's trying to pretend "I don't want indefinite detainment" while working behind the scenes to add it to the bill. I thought Clinton and Bush were skilled liars/deceptors, but Obama makes them look like amateurs.
>>>Please show me a scientific example of something that just springs in to existence
According to Christians: God. Which is complete and utter nonsense. A fully-formed intelligent person with hyperintelligence (omniscience) and tremendous magic powers doesn't just suddenly appear from nothing.
When the merde hits the fan, we might need to use it on those "security officials" who wrote a PDF to Congress and the judge demanding that the NDAA indefinite clause be left untouched & enforced.
I "get rather pissy" not because of Apple, but because of their annoying fanboys who claim Macs are the best computers ever and everything else it junk. Clearly that is not the case. Macs cost 2 times more than a typical ~$300 PC and, like somebody else said, they are locked down. Overall Macs are NOT the "best computers ever" and yet the Applebots keep harassing me and others.
Yeah that's unenforceable according to Consumer Protection Laws. It's similar to how Paypal included a bunch of terms in their contract/EULA, but the judge threw most of them in the trash as illegal. --- And the termination fee? Just don't send the check.
He can't lock in the unlimited data, but he can keep the shiny-new phone. After all it was Verizon that voided the contract when they changed the terms. He will no longer be bound to them.
Why wait? The moment Verizon changes your plan from "unlimited" to "limited" the contract terms have changed, and you can reject those new terms (thus voiding the contract).

Nobody because it never passed the legislature.
Yeah but they did the same to Clinton as well, as he's as white as a sheet. They just don't like Democrats. Period.

Maybe Verizon's cap will be like VirginMobile's "cap" which isn't really a cap but merely a slowdown for the speed.
