yeah no worries dude. Gays aren't considered "people" either. That's why California is able to have a proposition to amend their state constitution to deny them equality under the law guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.
It would seem to me that women who get abortions are just supporting the independent lifestyle of the fetus. In fact, these are women who love the constitution and their fetus so much, they're willing to let them live outside their womb ASAP.
Wait, what's that? The fetus is just laying there and isn't even trying to survive on it's own like a homeless piece o' crap? Kill it. I hate the homeless.
Actually, the 2nd amendment protects your right to own a gun: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The 6th Amendment states: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
"to have the Assitance of Counsel for his defence"
I can hold a gun that I don't own. I can keep a gun I don't own in my house. I can use/fire a gun I don't own. A gun is a thing. Even if I am very poor I can still do all of those things with a gun. The 2nd Amendment provides for all of that.
Lawyers are people (feel free to disagree) and thereby cannot be stored on top of a book shelf with their law books hidden in the back of your underwear drawer waiting for the day you need them. Since you have a right to a lawyer, and you cannot afford one, you are given one by the courts.
The Supreme Court made two seperate rulings that created the constitutional hole that is wide enough to drive a border patrol truck through.
United States v. Martinez-Fuerte is what the border patrol uses to create the 100 mile zone in which they can stop anybody -without- cause.
Illinois v. Caballes is a seperate case in which the supreme court ruled that an alert from a drug dog, even when the dog is used without cause, provides probable cause for a search.
If you read Souter's dissenting opinion it becomes pretty obvious how monumental a screw up Illinois v. Caballes is. It basically does away with the fourth amendment entirely. According to Souter drug dogs have been shown to falsely alert up to 60% of the time. Souter also stated that drug dogs are known to alert to cocaine on cash which may have passed through the hands of several people since it last touched cocaine.
Now the border patrol took both of these rulings (the power to stop anybody within 100 miles of the border, and the power to conduct warntless searches based on an animals fallable alert) and have turned them into the precedence they need to disregard the constitutional rights of any American in the 100 mile zone. Which, as the article states, 2/3's of all Americans live within that zone.
Excuse me, you've cited nothing. Not one shred of FACT.
OSHA, under the CURRENT Republican administration, has become an ineffective wrist slapper. Don't believe me, go check out factory death statistics and OSHA's minuscule fines, or complete lack thereof.
I also seem to recall FEMA's la-de-dah attitude during a certain Hurricane that happened to hit some unimportant southern town nobody had ever heard of before... New Orlie's or something, I can't recall it's name now that it's been destroyed.
And the EPA is a toothless whore gumming the cocks of the industrialists who are dumping toxins into our airs, soil, landfills, and water.
So screw you republitard. Your party isn't the party it once was. Defending it just makes you look like an asshole.
theaveng, do you like highways? What about a military that can protect you from scarwy terrwists? How about free education for your children, or what about free education for the thug down the streets children so that they don't grow up like their thug daddy? What about street lights? Do you like fire departments? How about police? What about the CDC to monitor for, identify, and prevent the spread of highly contagious deadly disease like SARS? What about the EPA which (wishfully) prevents your tap water from having deadly toxins in it? What about the FDA which keeps your food sources, and your prescription drugs safe? What about an OSHA that keeps factory workers safe?
Now granted, under the Republicans those last few agencies have been stripped of their ability to function by anti-government zealots, but there was a time when they did work.
I think taxes are FAN-FUC*ING-TASTIC! I'd be even happier if we had an administration that believed in the effective usage of those dollars than the outright waste of it like the past 8 years have seen under Bush's budgets and agency chief appointments.
Libertarianism as a structured philosophy makes no sense when you consider police, fire, and education.
Perosnally I don't feel that the fire department should only put out the burning homes of the wealthy.
Personally I don't want the wealthy to be the only ones with a police force.
Personally I think it's objectionable that only the wealthy would receive an education while the poor (for lack of funds, or caring) would never have their children educated.
Actually there are studies like this all the time. They literally run the children through a battery of tests and then come back 20 years later. Don't forget these tests are run by doctorates that probably work at an institution and it is their lifework. So coming back 20 years later is in fact the ultimate triumph for their careers because these types of studies are able to show things that 1 hour/day/week long studies can't.
Not once, EVER have I worked on code where the unit tests broke because of a bug or a mistake. Instead the unit tests break because the new code has something the test didn't anticipate. This is especialy the case in Easy Mock and TestNG.
Maybe if you're working in a system with complex interdependence patterns, but generally it's a waste of time and money and just a management level masturbatory exercise foisted on engineering. ("I'm a super CTO of Cisco System! I'm going to force unit testing across the board, even where it doesn't makes sense! I'm going to be super ISO certified and John Chambers is going to lick my balls after his retirement when I become CEO!")
The Department of Homeland Security (which TSA is under) has very little actual authority.
Remember your rights, refuse to answer questions, the only answer you should EVER give a police officer, or federal agent is "I want a lawyer."
A lawyer tells us why we should never talk to cops in this video
This guy has been making a series of videos of himself at DHS checkpoint basically blowing off the Fedtards in video 1 of 11.
As Americans we have rights that we -allow- the federal and local governments to steal from us when we opt-in to their tactics. As you can see in the checkpoint video the guy did not opt-in and thereby became immune to their power and because they do not have any authority. (Hopefully you know the difference between power and authority.)
I totally agree with you on just about every point. The problem for me is that some of the mid games stories aren't very compelling. (Stuff in the 30's and 40's bracket can be pretty mundane.)
In addition there has to be a better way to tell a story then "grab 30 boar pelts" off an animal that has a 20% drop rate. Why make me grind like that in hundreds of quests? It's not entertaining for me.
I personally think there is a fundamental flaw in the game play of these games.
I'm not willing to create things that have the sole purpose of killing other human beings. Sorry.
In addition, while I'd love to continue advancing my CS skills it has become obvious to me that the only way to make real money in our society is to get a degree of a fake science like economics/business in the form of an MBA. That way you can bullshit like a pro, cheat shareholders out of millions of dollars (maybe even billions!) and provide absolutely no value to anybody but yourself.
Well done America. We've come so far. The people that can actually DO stuff are second rate to the people who are just professional figureheads.
Exactly. Wii motes were impossible to come by and the only way you could get one is if you bought Wii Play. I opened up Wii play, put it in the Wii, and played it for maybe 30 minutes before returning it to it's case and never reopening it again. The game was boring. I bet Nintendo knows which games is the most popular, they do statistic gathering on the Wii.

Actually AC, the first Amendment is the cornerstone.
You need the first amendment to protect the 2nd.
You need the 2nd to protect the rest.
Actually, the 2nd amendment protects your right to own a gun: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What bothers me more is the smoke in the left side of the picture. Anyone here knows how smoke 'should' behave in space?
ummm... I think this explains it: it is fiction.

It is also hilarious how conservatives claim to be the majority, and a persecuted minority at the same time.
It's even funnier when fundamentalist Christians make the same laughable claim.

Yeah it's pretty amazing to watch him assert his rights. I personally don't know if I would ever be that confrontational with a police officer.
The Department of Homeland Security (which TSA is under) has very little actual authority.
