It becomes legally acceptable. Socially you'll still get criticized for your may/december relationship by a significant fraction of the populace. And it becomes legally acceptable precisely because the object of your affection is no longer a child incapable of making well informed sexual decisions because their brain isn't even close to done developing yet, and whose sexual organs haven't reached maturity!
I think it's just one of those things... someone has to come up with a word to define something, and this one was a reasonable choice given the roots involved.
6 is an early age, but not the early age they are referring to in the article. Assuming they are referring to standard psychological research, they are talking about >14 year olds attracted to those under 8.

You were not an adult, so no, you were not a paedo. If you are now an adult, and that six year old is still your sexual ideal, then yes.
Locationism is much more accepted than racism. Most of the country loves to bash California for being weird, while California bashes the rest of the country for being backwards.
Having lived in GA and CA, I can say that there was significantly more overt racism in GA. Rarely would a week go by in GA without overhearing a racial epithet. Such an event is comparatively rare in CA.
I'm unclear on how what you say is true. It would seem that after failing the password check with your first two people, you would switch, and if you fail again, switch once more, and then you should succeed. Such a system should be completely resilient to ANY failure of one person, whether physical or moral.

The political compass quiz is always formulated to try to drive your answers towards whatever group is putting it up (I see this most frequently with libertarians trying to convince people to join their party). This one seemed worse than most in terms of stating fairly extreme positions in order to force a strongly agree/disagree answer.
That said, I managed a score of: Economic Left/Right: -8.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.90
I took a different version last year and wound up around +7 authoritarian (none of my views have changed, just the selection of questions). So take the compass quiz with a seriously large grain of salt.
There are at least 3 search engines with quality competitive to google that are not yahoo. If google started charging for search, would you seriously not investigate the nearly equally good alternatives?
Why it isn't possible to build a machine that would suck energy from the earth's magnetic field. That's always the first thing that occurs to me when I hear about these devices... I have a compass, the field is strong enough to turn the needle, why can't I capture that energy. If it is small, you build a huge array of compass needles. This would not be perpetual motion (eventually you would kill the dynamo), but that would take a long, long time.
That's interesting. Where I am, the 'knock wall down' 'move this pipe' people are mostly illegal aliens being paid in many cases below the minimum wage. But that may be because it is california, and we have a huge pool of illegal aliens competing to do that kind of work. I certainly agree with you that going to school is not a requirement for doing decently or even well in the world. I do think it is fairly vital if you want to get paid to use your brain rather than your hands, though, and I do think it opens up a lot of opportunities at the higher end.
I suspect your friend is a skilled laborer, I had thought the discussion was about unskilled labor. My mistake I think. Skilled labor does reasonably well in monetary terms, degreed engineers do need to work to get ahead, being successful is not conferred with the degree.
Sorry, I missed your other post. I found it now. I had thought you were discussing unskilled labor. Skilled laborers like electricians definitely make more, though again, you have to get through your apprenticeship, and then you have to fill your hours. Getting 40 hours of work a week in those kinds of jobs isn't trivial, and there are certainly other downsides to those jobs. But yes, the top of the field in skilled labor makes about the same as the middle of the field in degreed labor. But: skilled labor tops out. For an electrician to increase his earning power either requires the risk of starting a contracting business (in which case he is no longer being paid as labor, and an engineer can start his own business too), or pushing more hours (which an engineer can do also... look into consulting work). An engineer has other options: get stock in a startup (less risk than starting your own), go into contracting (higher per hour wages with less certainty), accept a position with travel requirements (higher salary), train yourself in a high demand area (most areas of engineering have superstars who are payed $250k+ in salary). Having a degree certainly isn't a magic ticket to wealth. You do still have to work hard and be talented, in some ways more so than the skilled laborer, but the potential rewards are much greater, and beyond that... would you be intellectually satisfied working day after day pushing wire through holes in the frame of a house?
How much are the unskilled union laborers you know making?
The lowest paid engineering-degreed person I know makes 45k, and could make considerably more if they wanted to move to a more expensive city (obviously, there's a tradeoff there).
Depends on your interpretation. It is likely we have now created all the IP we are ever going to create. Allocation, however, is likely to continue to rise for many years to come.
In other words 'opportunity', but Ron Paul wouldn't be willing to make such a strong commitment, just in case it comes back to bite him in the ass later, aka he's just like the rest of the politicians.
Of course, if you're going to legalize it on the 'PLANT' basis, all of the poppy fans will have to get their way too. Probably better to argue on the 'harmless' basis.

There would have been prior art for those. However, had any of the ideas been novel at the time, then sure, allow a patent.
Wow ... I have to wonder what you're seeing.
A sanitation worker makes maybe 30k:

Why don't they include this in the summary?
You can draw a minimum bar at around 12, the age of reproductive functionality. Falling below that bar is pedophilia no matter what the calendar year.
* Safe, Effective Diet Pill
* Cheap TV Phone (nevermind, I don't look so hot in the morning)
Maybe you should just wish for a pill that makes other people less obsessed with image.
* Car Key Alternative - I hate looking for lost keys.
Lots of cars come with code panels and start buttons now, some aren't obscenely expensive.
* Non-Lethal Weaponry for Cops
Rubber bullets and tazers have very low fatality rates. It's a very hard problem to eliminate all fatalities, people die choking on spoons after all.
* Reliable Tires (or that fail gradually) - Tires are still based on air-filled balloon technology, making them problematic.
Buy run-flat tires?
