Cops don't like people to be able to defend themselves.
Of course not. Look at it from an economics perspective. Decreasing the amount of defense/security available to the citizenry does not change how much protection they want. The only place left to turn is the cops. Cops are dealing in a rarer good, security, and can raise their rates for it. It gets even better now that they have a Supreme Court decision saying that the police has no duty to protect people. Pretty good racket they have going.
That was many moons ago though. We have protected land and casinos now. That look on White Man's faces when we take all his money and he leaves casino can't be bought with beads and firewater. No Sir. That's priceless.
So that single tear rolling down your cheek is you trying to hold back your laughter?
I'm fine with Google being free to promote race equality as long as I am free to disagree with them and promote segregation.
You evidently can't see it, but in 30 years, that's what you'll sound like. Good work, etching that in/. stone, Davide Marney. Your grand kids will be so proud:-/
Typical political correctness: we have to respect and accept all opinions, ideas, and thinking except for those I disagree with.
But what's going on here is a selfish mother trying to cut out the father after she decided she couldn't be civil anymore. The courts are not, generally speaking, amused by this behavior.
You forgot to mention 'YMMV'. This varies wildly from court to court and judge to judge.
What she did is called "growing up" and "maturing" and"learning from experience." Generally speaking, this is a positive thing. I hope you come to experience it in your life. Otherwise, you will spend it being exactly as you are now. That would suck.
Horseshit. She was 28. How much further are we going to stretch childhood? Oh, because she's a rich, famous, attractive, white woman she gets a pass? Certainly seems that way. Plenty of less fortunate people are held to higher scrutiny due to actual youth related lapses in judgement.
No, her best defense is to take as much money as she can, kidnap Suri, and flee to a country with no extradition treaty with the US and where Scientology is banned.
Unfortunately, Tom is one of the few fathers who might be able to get someone to back up the Hague convention. Go somewhere that didn't sign it, and he can bribe his way past government officials and kidnap Suri right back.
If you are interested in the subject, Thom Hartmann (a radio talk show host) has written a book on the subject and frequently talks about corporate personhood on his show. It is enlightening if a bit disheartening at times.
The most appalling thing about the Santa Clara decision is that corporate personhood isn't in the decision proper, only in the headnote. Written by a former big business guy.
Maybe because the DVD didn't have 'satisfaction guaranteed on it'.
You really are a truly cheap douchebag. I'm honored to be on your foes list. If only I knew where you worked so that I could take advantage of your labor, then say fuck it and get my money back.
ABS was banned from F1 because it's too good. Yeah, some cheap cars have poor ABS implementation, but proper ABS is beyond F1 drivers ability, let alone Joes.
Finally we hit the right answer. Christ this site is filled with people who think they are special snowflakes. (Not you, the dinguses who think they are better than ABS)
My bike didn't get repoed when I was down on my luck. My ex wife didn't get it in the divorce (or force the sale). You think I'll be letting the fed say I can't ride it?
I'll keep it around next to my red Barchetta to let my nephew ride it on the weekends.
But there shouldn't be a 405 in Oregon. It is preferred to avoid having three digit highways that are not congruous in adjacent states. I'm guessing they had no choice, but with a 405 in both WA and CA, OR should have to change theirs. (There is also an incredibly bizarre, although not unheard of, set of circumstances where the 405 in two adjoining states might be the same highway to the federal government, despite the highways themselves not being physically connected. Wish I could remember the examples of that.)
Amazing. If you know how common law works and/or read citations from the California government listed below the cherry picked comment you link to, you'll see that you are totally wrong.
If there is no room to enter the circle (traffic too bunched up, people driving too fast, etc.) then a driver with a yield sign is supposed to stop.
The problems I see with traffic circles I've seen in the US is that they are often too small and they have odd lanes. What I mean by the latter is that lanes are added/removed to the circles such that not only do you have to enter the traffic circle, but if going further than one exit, you also have to merge to the left. Then a rightward merge when time to leave the circle (hoping someone doesn't cut you off there). A minor inconvenience on a properly sized circle, a fucking nightmare on one that is too small.
And don't get me started on circles in the US that have traffic lights on the circle itself. Worst of both worlds.

Hell I don't care. If he wants to have a straight-pride parade, he can go for it (wait, isn't that Mardi Gras? :-P )
No, it's the line at the DMV.
because you know everyone in the community?? (why is there always a new letter added every few years??)
Because everyone is a special snowflake, seeking recognition for his/her/hen own unique specialness.

Enough people will be found guilty/infringing/whatever to scare many others into compliance. This is worse than contempt of cop or contempt of court. This is contempt of big business. You have meddled with the primal forces of nature. And you will atone.
What is written on silly old pieces of parchment and civics texts matters not a whit.

It should be even more resellable. Your software hasn't been degraded by your having used it.
Not true. My installations of Windows get repeatedly crappier as the registry gets modified.

There's your cue.
Heck, I talk to libertarians, I'm usually prepared to say "here's your sign."
To Blizzard games, it is popular. Just check their forum threads.
That could either mean lots of linux players or it could mean that they are louder than their numbers suggest.
Because it didn't sell well enough? Because Asus still moves a lot of Windows licenses?
Interesting. When this story was front page news, I did not know that the programmer worked for Nokia.
Wonder if he still does?

Or vagina.
Why do you wish pain on people? Why not wish them good luck?
Internet toughguy syndrome, or perhaps greater internet fuckwad theory.

I think we were pretty much finished off when our shovels were destroyed.
Although, to be fair, he got work fairly quickly when he hung the "Mission Accomplished" banner for Bush.
Hey, fuck you. Women aren't objects.
But they have physical properties. How else could they be chained to the stove?
