I'm pretty sure there actually is evidence in the court case, and that is required to conviction. And no, it wasn't just watching for a couple of seconds. It was posting it online, and also witness intimidation. Do you conveniently black out data that is counter to your viewpoint? If I posted naked pix of you online, would that be the same as me looking at your dick for a couple seconds while you're in the same room as me? No. And you're a fucking retarded asshole for suggesting the two things are the same.
I'm in your bedroom. I'll be filming you having sex. It's going to go on the internet where everyone can see it. I'll talk to your friends and try to intimidate them to make false statements to the police.
Yeah. That's not what "spying" is. Spying would be viewing the video in private. Posting it and witness intimidation are two different things, asshole.
punch in the nose wrong? Causing someone to commit suicide? That's just punch in the nose wrong? Can I make your wife kill herself, and then you'll punch me in the nose and we'll be square? Didn't think so.
It was more how I asked for direction. You see, I thought you could pull over behind a cop and walk up and ask him for help. Silly me. It's really hard to hear commands on a windy day when the wind is blowing the opposite direction and you see lips moving and a person with a gun pointed at you, but can't hear what they are asking. It's also hard to roll down your window after getting back in the car when you've left your keys on the hood and it's power windows. Awwwwwkward. But he didn't cite me for my overdue inspection. It was my first day at a new job. I had just moved up here. I didn't know if I was going the right way on the highway. This was 1999. I have a GPS now in 2012, but still no cell phone.
Oh I forgot to add when I was out of gas in Philly, and a cop shined his light on us and told us the station was closed. "We're out of gas!" we yelled back. "Oh well", he said on the loudspeaker, driving away. But again, there's two sides to things: In my panic to find a gas station at 3AM in seemingly-dangerous neighborhoods with my car computer telling me I had 0.0 miles of gas left, I ran several red lights in front of several cops (not wanting to waste gas to brake and reaccelerate), and they didn't seem to care about that either.
I don't understand your response. You're acting like scanners don't have circuitry to recognize, and refuse to copy money. Many/most do, and this has been documented on slashdot before.
Yea, my sister was doing the sign-language translation for the graduation speech, and I kinda didn't want to miss that. I did say no to the very same school administrators that once had control over me. They had to go get the cops. And my dad wore the shirt out on the way out. Yeah, I could have had awkward court dates where I had to drive 4 hours home from Virginia Tech, and we could have strained the 2nd mortage my dad took out to pay for my college after being laid off from USPS after 20 years right when I started a bit more by having to pay for a lawyer for a civil suit in addition to tuition..... Or I could have seen my sister graduate, and not been arrested on TV, because they televise graudations here.
The shirt has hands with handcuffs, holding marijuana leaves, with the words, "Land of the free?" under it.
Police are just there to "stop" drugs, "stop" prostitution, and beat protesters. They don't actually care about crime that affects the average person. I've had a gun pointed at my head for trying to ask directions, but when I get robbed, they won't even take a report because "the phone system is down and you have to drive 40 minutes to make the report in person". But oh, you'll make me turn my marijuana-legalization-themed shirt inside out at my sister's public high school graduation under threat of arrest. It's good that we have our fucking priorities straight.
It's not actually always legal. For example, if you take government tax breaks for providing a publi service, you don't get to pick and choose which public, even if they are suing you.
Dunno the specifics here, but cell phones are a great way for companies to get a 2nd chance at changing the laws that were already settled for landlines, and that's part of what we're seeing here.
My landline company cannot legally deny me service, EVEN IF i'm suing them. But part of that is the psuedomonopoly of landlines, which doesn't apply to cell phones. But probably should. Especially if they take one penny from the government, even in the form of tax breaks.
Given the traffic problem around here, the last thing we need is road development slowed down by increasing the cost by having to have a huge deer-fence around every tiny road out there, just so that there can be more deer alive that we need to stop, and more peoples' personal gardens eaten (yea yea, we should all get fences, fences everywhere!)
But wait. It's actually illegal to put a fence up that is high enough to stop deer from jumping over here in VA. They're supposed to be allowed to go where they want. Great, huh?
Huh? It's a mental problem to enjoy doing what is necessary? Is it a mental problem to enjoy going to work? Is it a mental problem to enjoy drinking water? It's called living. And no, it's not a mental problem. Not by any professional classification. Just your own emotionalism. Of course, with "dog" in your username, you are incapable of objective thought with animals. Well-demonstrated by your bigoted comments.
Actually, deer collisions kill hundreds and injure 10s of 1000s every year. They multiply, have fewer predators in more populated areas, eat up all the food, get malnourished, wander to new places looking for food, and cause accidents. They absolutely must be thinned out, and there's no reason anyone who shoots a deer can't eat it. (They should. Venison chili is delicious, and no corporate growth hormones.)
Somewhat wrong. Research and development (R&D) is a relatively small part of the budgets of the big drug companies. Only a handful of truly important drugs have been brought to market in recent years, and they were mostly based on taxpayer-funded research at academic institutions, small biotechnology companies, or the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It sounds like you read the conservative cliff notes on the issue.
Nice weaseling:) Leeching was practiced then and now. Different purposes doesn't make it not leeching. If there's leeches on you, it's leeching. C'mon. Just don't say "100 yrs ago they practiced leeching!" It makes you sound like you don't realize that it was re-introduced. That's the logical conclusion from reading it.
As a player of Ultima 4, Phantasie 2, Bard's Tale 2, and Nethack, I'm a bit disappointed to see them talk about Ultima 3, Phantasie 1, Bard's Tale 1, and Rogue. Now I feel like a square who was late to the game, even though I had my Apple2 in 1980. At least I briefly felt slightly younger.
Certainly in a technological society with increasing disparity between the rich class and the poor class... We could ALL revoke our donor status cards, which would then REQUIRE the rich to pay extra for our organs. Seeing as more people are poor than our rich, this could be a good way for the 99% to get some of the 1%'s money back. You want our organs? Pay us in advance. I got $130K left on my house's mortgage. Pay that off and you can have me & my wife's organs.
Part of the point is - if someone is going to profit $2M from your body, why the hell should you be saddled with burial expenses and a huge medical bill. (I reviewed medical records for the uninsured for a whole summer once, with the conclusion that the mere act of dying typically results in a $500K bill.)
I'll be an organ seller. Pay off my wife's mortgage (via my organs) if I die early, otherwise it can go to the worms. If they aren't willing to pay, they already have enough organs, so I'm not hurting anybody. Hell... everyone's student loans could be paid off via a lien on their future organs. Doctor examines your liver? No drinking? Your credit rating just went up.
That used to be the attitude with phone calls, too. After all, you're broadcasting your conversation onto a wire that goes through public space. Doesn't that mean anybody in the public can listen to it, and you lose all privacy?
Uh, no. And applying that faulty logic to the internet simply demonstrates a knowledge of history and a critical ability to think about privacy and technology.

That might encourage people to never stop/drop, though, like SCO. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I wore a suit at her wedding, but I fucked up the toast and said her ex-husband's name instead. Fail.

Hey asshole - there was no fucking required decorum. Eat a dick. This was 3000 people walking into a stadium. Again: Eat. A. Dick.

I wouldn't personally say "wise", so much as "practical", but thank you.

There are so many different occupy movements. How would we do this? ;)

Leeching has been re-introduced because it's been shown to have actual effect. Please update your example list next time ;)

False flag attacks, in general, are most certainly not conspiracy theory.
Uh, no. And applying that faulty logic to the internet simply demonstrates a knowledge of history and a critical ability to think about privacy and technology.
