But I was wondering about liability too. If your child catches it but doesn't die, is this grounds for a lawsuit?
Against who, the minister who advised against it? You might as well try to sue because you died and there was no heaven...
Actually, I've been expecting to hear that someone is suing because they had a near-death experience and it didn't match the promises of the religion they now feel like they've wasted their life on.
Obama doesn't want to go to war (it's expensive, financially and politically, Americans will die, and the U.S. will end up having to stick around for 20 years after the end of the war to prop up the country)
OTOH, it may be in the national interest, because it would give the pundicks at FOX news something new to complain about. I'm tired of going into a place of business that has them on, and being treated to incessant Bengazi outrage and "Obamacare is making everyone's insurance rates go up".
The Iraqi military was removed from Kuwait by military force because it had illegally occupied and annexed Kuwait, not because of rumors about incubators. It is a red herring.
There's a difference between reasons, real reasons, and stories you spread around to get the population riled up to support your actions.
Like the Kuwaiti lady that testified to the US Congress about the atrocities, and forgot to mention that she was a Kuwaiti Princess.
The whole thing is fishy - why is it okay that the U.S. is supporting the jihadists in Syria anyways?
I know you've been taught that 'jihadist' means 'anti-American terrorist,' but it's really not true. Give up the conditioning. A jihadist can be good, or bad, or even non-violent.
I'm not saying we should invade Syria, just that a jihadist isn't what you think it is.
I don't think any of the terrorist organizations are jihadist. They appear to be people who are outraged at some real or perceived wrong, and have convinced themselves that killing innocent people is proper redress.
Just like Timothy McVeigh.
AFAICT the only way Islam enters into Middle Eastern sourced terrorism is as part of the definition of "us" vs. "them".
Sounds like an occasion for a good Iron Man vs. Batman religious debate: Two billionerd techno-vigilantes, one with the cocky attitude of a cat that just got a jar of cream, the other with the surly attitude of a cat that just got a jar of cream stuffed up its ass.
I think many have this false belief due to (at least) one now widely discredited study published proposing this link - this/these ideas are still pushed by some people and celebrities, like Jenny McCarthy.
Getting your medical advice from a Playboy Bunny isn't any smarter than getting it from your preacher.
If a deliberately unvaccinated child dies as a result of his parent's "choice", when the advice came from the pulpit of the parent's church, should anyone be held responsible for manslaughter? Keep in mind these are the "it's a child, not a choice" people.
As the saying goes, "Life is sacred from the moment of conception until the moment of birth. After that you're on your own."
But I was wondering about liability too. If your child catches it but doesn't die, is this grounds for a lawsuit?
Well the really obvious difference being that CP is straight up illegal and disgusting so sting operations by law enforcement seems reasonable while copyright infringement is a civil matter for most users.
I just wonder what it does to the minds of the law enforcement officials who work in that area.
The only thing that would make this any juicier now is if Prenda itself didn't have the rights to distribute that porn.
Well, they forged copyright assignments with an "Alan Cooper" signature, they negotiated some licenses just for going after copyright violations but not distributing content, and they approached several copyright holders only after the violations started.
So there's all the juice you want in there.
Some people just aren't cut out to be supercrooks. Stick to shoplifting candy, Steele.
is the most useful thing that can be done for all the people on the planet.
Most people won't be able to afford gene therapy or "phamacology". Lots of people can't even find enough to eat and/or can't stay well long enough to die from our current old age.
The various portions of the brain do not necessarily fall asleep at the same time. It leads to people doing complex things, like driving across town and killing someone, while "sleepwalking".

As explanations on Slashdot I find that "false flags" are greatly overused.
Yeah, Lizard Men don't use flags.
If you don't want to turn in your Paranoid Conspiracy Theorist badge, you've got to look for the conspiracy behind the conspiracy.
(But who's manipulating the Lizard Men?)

what interest does the US possibly have to start a war in Syria???
None whatsoever.
Unless they want to inflict some collateral damage to keep people joining terrorist organizations.
Let's sit this one out and let someone else put their foot in it.
Other than that, I can't see any motivation to pick those two high-profile American targets.
If it is in fact Syrians, I don't know what they expect to accomplish for their cause.
What is your favorite superhero?

I don't think the parent was saying anything about global warming...or did I miss that somewhere in the thread?
Didn't you know that *everything* is evidence that global warming isn't happening?

sent charged particles streaking outward at 380 miles per second. That's just over 1.3 million mph (2.2 million km/h).
Could you give that in manhattans^(1/2) per dog year, too?
We've got 'leak' in the headline for three articles in a row. (If you have the same topics enabled as I do.)

Web Apps: the Future of the Internet, Or Forever a Second-Class Citizen?
According to Betteridge's Law, the answer is 'no'.
It is a loopy idea, but not fundementally unsound in any way.
Ah, but that's irrelevant. The underlying plan is to build a prototype, get it panned on Top Gear, and sue them for lots of money.
How do you acquire the land for the route as a private entity, without eminent domain?
Didn't he say he was just pushing the idea, not going to implement it himself?
There, I've saved you the trouble of reading the whole thread!
So why didn't you post that up at the top?
See John Oliver's take on it.
(He actually pokes fun at the media coverage rather than at Teh Loop itself.)
When you drop a whale backbone into Antarctic waters and retrieve it a year later, you'll find it covered with a pelt of wriggling, rosy-hued worms
So *this* is the "scientific research" that the Japanese are performing.
After Fukushima, one of those little wormies might be the next Gojira.
It's all part of the movement towards State management of who lives and dies, based of course on political ideology and revenue.
Such abuse is in fact possible, but right now it's your insurance company's actuary and your wallet that determine who lives and who dies.
I suspect that to comprehend consciousness we will have to add "state" to the traditional notions of matter and energy.
