I was thinking the same thing. The players choose to play the sport. No one is forcing them to. I can see banning football in institutions that cater to people who are not yet 18 but I see no reason to outright ban it for everyone. If they want to bash their brains around, let them do it.
I still don't get why people are trying to legislate rules ban teachers from "friending" students on social media sites. Shouldn't that be between the teacher, the parents, and the student? Why can't teachers and students be friends?
I agree that college is too expensive but I envision more of a hybrid model. Students take online courses to complete all the "book learning" and universities would become a place for study groups, hands-on projects, and hardcore research. "Professors" would be there to help guide students and facilitate research..
This is a interesting idea. It is almost like a RPG where you level up. The difference lies in the fact that instead of leveling up your avatar for a fake world, you level up yourself for the real world. I wonder if anyone will get addicted to learning.:)
You forgot that to become a programmer you would have to go through eight years of schooling, study under older programmers, get certified by a board, and have to worry about malpractice suits.
Even the more polished Linux distros such as Ubuntu have their little quirks that you either have to live with or go the trouble to fix which could mean hours of trouble that the average person is not willing to go through. As time has progressed, this has gotten better but it is still not completely there. The other is lack of commercial software support for software that everyone already uses. I can't even watch Netflix on my Linux install without a Windows VM. Even when a business chooses to create a Linux version of their software, the software sends to have a subset of the functionality of the Windows version. I still haven't even mentioned gaming. All this said, when I can use it for what I am doing, I prefer Linux. The powerful command line alone is worth it.
Electing Ron Paul would probably have the effect of reducing the size of the Federal government, but state governments would explode in size and power.
Even if that is true, I would prefer a big state government over a big federal government. It is easier to enact change at a state level than a federal level. Also, It is easier to move to another state than it is to move to another country. Like-minded individuals would probably eventually converge to each other. Due to this convergence combined with the population's greater access to its political leaders, people would be less likely to live under policies and laws that they do not agree with.
I did a quick Google search. The very document that they ignore in Article 2, Section 4 says:
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Unfortunately, it looks like Article 3, Section 3 gives congress the ability to declare treason. I somehow doubt, they are going to declare treason on themselves.
I support Ron Paul. I do realize he is a little extreme on some policies but in the end he doesn't align perfectly with either party and he is only one man. If he became president, some of his more extreme policies would become more mellowed by the other politicians. The end result would be smaller government and more freedom. Most of the other politicians seem to want the opposite.
So. They runner probably got the drugs from a drug cartel. Who is to say that a drug cartel wouldn't be willing to smuggle some explosives into a plane if paid they were paid well. The runner wouldn't even have to know he wasn't smuggling the usual goods.
So once the person has been arrested, and further investigation has occurred, it may have been determined that the person did not in fact commit the offence (or insufficient evidence, whatever).
I am pretty sure they are talking about arresting people without reasonable grounds and then charging them for resisting arrest. If a cop cannot even give me a reason why he is arresting me, he has no business arresting me and I definitely have no inclination to cooperate.

Wouldn't it be even more important in a criminal trial to not equate an IP address with an individual without additional evidence?
I don't know if it does but one would think so.
This has a science component in it.
The participants of Hunger Games and Roman Gladiators usually did not volunteer to participate. All NFL players volunteer to participate.

If enough us "waste" our vote, there will be a third-party candidate.

It would be funny if people started telling others they are a level 70 CS Mage.

So in other words, a programmer would be paid to sit on his hands while ten lawyers squabble about what the programmer can legally program.

I will have to keep that in mind next time I go to Brazil.
I have been to Brazil. All electronics there are three time more.

Bullets in the heads of corrupt politicians solve even more problems.
Actually, that creates problems.
I just realized that when I commented, I read the original quote as "Bullets in the hands of corrupt politicians solve even more problems".

did people who are willing to allow that bill on the floor let alone vote yes on it even get into office?

Cocaine may be more destructive than explosives.
The victims of cocaine chose to do cocaine. The victims of explosives usually did not want to be meaty bits splattered over the walls.

+1 How come I never have mod points when there is something worthy of modding up?
