Someone traps my cat and sends it to a shelter, I'll request that I get it back. The shelter tries to charge me for it and there'll be serious trouble.
what do you mean by this? you would be mad at the shelter for charging you money? it makes sense to me, they have a lot of expenses. You would be mad at your neighbor for trapping your cat on his or her property, then taking it to a shelter? Or if it happened, but you got the cat for no money, you wouldn't be mad at your neighbor any more?
anybody can sue anybody for anything. it doesn't mean you'll win, and even if you do your winnings may pale in comparison to your legal costs.
Once I sued my neighbor because her cat kept defecating in my potted plants. Judge said that I couldn't show any actual monetary damages, so that was the end of that.
worrying about the TSA thugs rooting through the underwear in their carryon bags
Or just tearing up the boxes of your Christmas gifts in your checked luggage, then packing them back incorrectly. I can see a legit reason someone might want to search bags, but fucking do it in front of me, so I can pack it back correctly.
or grabbing my nut sack. i hate it when they do that. it's like mandatory legalized sexual assault, just to prove again that they are in charge. you and I would go to jail for doing that.
the point of TSA screening isn't to search for dangerous items. the point is to intimidate the populace into submission to an autocratic state. I agree with P, fuck 'em.
didn't the computers and physchic people in minority report work like this? the future is now! Not to mention individualized advertising in stores, and gestures to control computers. I should rent this movie again... did it have a jetpack scene as well?
I think the notion that CP somehow extinguishes a fire in a pedo, preventing harm, is groundless. It goes against common sense and 60+ years of pr0n research. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. my claim is reasonable and rooted in the common human experience. it is prima facae true.
How many kids got abused because pedos had their impulses inflamed by porn? And found a welcoming community of like-minded people to offer support, encouragement and advice? I think you're looking at this wrong.
actually, the linked article itself is basically tea party link bait. Basically from the Daily Caller. they should have done a better job vetting the source to see the agenda, or maybe they wanted their own link bait. The summary itself was a good summary of the source.
I know the meme is to link to xkcd, but in this case yesterday's dilbert is relevant - everybody's entitled to their own opinion, but ignorance is not an opinion. can't link to it right now because i'm at work and I try not to open up dilbert on my screen.
this regulation focuses solely on the piece of equipment. they're concerned about the level of emissions coming from the furnace, regardless of where it goes. They're essentially grading the cleanliness of a furnace from A to B. Recently they raised the curve so the current stoves that used to get an A now get a B, and the cleanest new stoves get an A. The old stoves that used to get a C now get an F and can't be sold in their current configuration.
Still with an OS that lacks features that have become standard in other platforms, still with sucky app management, still with a lack of control for a device you won.
sweet how did you win an iPhone? Like a contest or something?
This is the worst summary ever. Here's the real situation: * EPA is tightening existing standards for new wood stoves. Wood stove makers will adopt new control technology to meet these standards. * these standards do NOT apply to stoves already in use * they're NOT making it illegal to burn wood
nobody's trying to tear your wood stove from your cold dead hands. simmer down, internet.
you're being silly. stop being silly! all your args are for 3rd party apps, and we're talking about first party apps.
I think the "no competition" thing was an issue earlier but is no longer an issue. there are plenty of options for browser, maps, address book, camera, calendar, etc. I don't think there are options for the phone parts - phone and sms. so you need to chillax here, welcome to 2013.
i'm just trying to include ms and bby so I can point out problems with android in ways that I don't get painted as an apple fanboi, but whatever. Apple doesn't serve targeted ads, and it doesn't have a financial interest in the content of my emails. and every person can get an iCloud.com email address for free with no advertising.

I'm trying to understand but need more info.

2012 Rape Levels in US at Record Levels
I refuse to argue with ninnys and the deliberately obtuse.
Use of the porn leads will lead to an actual victim at some point if the porn user lives long enough.
I think we found the solution!

Yes, but these coal generators are at the local power plant, not in your basement. Unlike wood furnaces that are the subject of this story.
What are you talking about? Which part was not pleasant? Did you go to Wikipedia.xxx?

people don't have coal furnaces in their homes, either.
i'm terminating this conversation, because you are being deliberately obtuse.
what, no caps and a little bit of l33t-speak? chillax man. words are nothing but containers for ideas. don't judge a book by its cover.
