Scientists can use these mutations as markers to piece together how the Ebola virus has traveled from person to person. Because they know the general mutation rate of the virus, they can also pin down the dates of when the disease spread
Those chemicals listed are not pure elements (like aluminum and mercury). They are mercury and aluminum based compounds, designed to be inert but posses specific traits to do things like block binding sites on the viruses and bacteria. Come back when you have a better understanding of chemistry and micro biology.
Link to that article because those numbers are not right. 20% of individuals in the US do not make upwards of 234,400. 20% of households don't make that.
Not really. The article says "However, a large part of the Cybersecurity Unit’s mission will be to quell the growing distrust many Americans have toward law enforcement’s high-tech investigative techniques."
Quell in this context sounds more like "We will find those spreading distrust and remove them from the population." Then they can have their cake and eat it to.
I think you missed their point entirely. The Swedes do not criminalize trivial or idiotic things like the US. Or if they do, they do not enforce the laws as stringently where as the US is ramping up its mandatory minimum sentences.
With that, the Swedish government could theoretically hold this position and do it well without infringing on anyone's freedoms and not criminalizing anything. If the US government instituted a similar program, the penalties would be huge fines and drone strikes on citizens.
That being said, I don't think any government should have control over video game rating systems. It's something trivial and has no place in legislation.
Oligarchy refers to the organization of the government, socialism to how it handles economic activities. The two are mutually exclusive. Between welfare, medicaid, medicare, government subsidized health insurance, food stamps, disability, tax rebates, subsidized cell phones and internet plans, and many more programs, we live in a socialist society. Most people disagree because the rich don't pay as much into this system but that's because its an oligarchy. Those in power are redistributing the middle class wealth to the poor.
Saying the world sucks, people suck, and there is nothing we can do about it is pointless. Apathy towards the worlds problems is a big part of the reason we are in such a mess.
Capitalism lends itself more to self interest, playing off human behavior. That is why I think its the better choice. Its not perfect, but at least I'll take a stand and try to make the world a better place.
Actually all you need is flash suppressor (not as quiet as a silencer so still legal) and subsonic.22 rounds. Sounds about as loud as dropping a text book.
Actually we live in a socialist oligarchy, far from any real capitalism. I also don't believe pure unadulterated capitalism is the way to go. There should be some oversight. However, the fundamental concept of capitalism, that I have to work for my own keep, is better than the idea of work or not you get your fair share.
As you pointed out in your post, the problem really isn't Capitalism or Marxism or any "ism." Its the corruptibility of people. So how do you plan to fix that?
I think you missed the point. New regulations means more stringent requirements, means newer equipment, upgrade costs, compliance testing, etc. If you don't think these new regulations are going to be a burden, you are naive.
Hmmm... what better way to close a bunch of small businesses than demand all businesses meet some arbitrary security requiremnts.
"Sorry mom and pop, your shop doesn't have the required firewall, point of sale equipment, network security administrator, or minimum database standards.I'll have to shut you down"
"But we dont even have a computer. All our sales are manual!"
"Sorry, take it up with the Another Department to Fuck You Over**"
While I am a libertarian, I also strongly disagree with a privatized prison system. It needs to be held accountable to the people.
That being said, while for profit prisons bring their own issues, the aforementioned problem is a political one. Using the typical party lines, republicans are for punishment and democrats for rehabilitation. However since this isn't a hot button issue, you tend to find more bleeding across party lines. Another important issue with the prison system stems for the judiciary branch. Its hard to walk down the street now a days without breaking some law. Criminalizing every activity we've criminalized the American population.
While I agree with you on the monetization of prisons, I bring up these other issues because without understanding the whole picture, we cannot hope to solve the problem.
The US prison system is very disjointed. Depending who you ask its either about punishment or rehabilitation. One of those two has a statistically proven track record for reducing crime. God forbid the US use statistical evidence to make political decisions to better the country. With that, the US prison system sits somewhere between the two and does nothing well besides making it harder for criminals to renter society.
Here comes the "Think of the children!" excuse. How about all the things that led up to that child ending up in a strip club? They would have to willing hide their age thinking that strip clubs are better than foster care. This regulation, from the point of protecting our children, is a band aid put on after the damage is done. If you want to prevent this we need to work on the educational system and foster care system.
I'm going to go with the hockey stick graph scandal and the first global warming report stating 100+ scientists agreed global warming was caused by man. I read the later and, yes, all of the scientists agreed global warming is caused by man but the level of impact ranged from 100% to.01%. That kind of renders the report meaningless due to margin of error.
Hmmm... from an insurance company perspective, if I wanted my 20% of margin to represent the amount I was making before, what would I do? Oh yeah increase costs. This sounds like a great way to cause runaway costs.
This is in large part do to runaway costs on the content provider side. There was just a large debacle between Viacom and Suddenlink over just this. Viacom asked for 50% more year over year for their content while their viewership numbers had one of the largest decreases. I think Suddenlink did the right thing and told Viacom to go f themselves, found new content and didn't raise customer prices. Its become expected of the content providers to require a double digit percentage increase in profit and those costs go strait to the consumer.
Thank you. People fail to realize healthcare is a limited resource. You can give everyone health insurance but you can't give everyone healthcare. Its just not feasible, yet. A perfect example is organ transplant waiting lists.
Now with the addition of more people, these resources are even scarcer. So who gets that heart transplant? The 9-5er who had health insurance and has contributed a lot of time and effort to society or the newly added single mother of seven on food stamps and well fare.
Im using that anecdote to segue into the larger issue of political ideology, mainly capitalism vs socialism. Fundamentally, capitalism is the idea that those who produce in a society reap the benefits of living in it were as socialism everyone benefits equally (one could argue those who don't work benefit the most from socialism as they still get the same quality of living as everyone else with no effort). As this applies to healthcare, I think those who work should be first in line for healthcare.
Before anyone tries to use the US as an example of corrupt failed capitalism, I'd like to add we are more a socialist oligarchy. This is ultimately the shortcoming of Democracy in a country full of voter apathy, not socialism or capitalism.
The hormones testosterone and estrogen have a direct effect on cognitive behavior. Countless studies have been performed around this, and it just seems to be common knowledge men and women think differently. One study of note, marked the differences between genetic abnormalities XXX and YY chromosomes. People with either of these have a substantial increase in estrogen and testosterone, respectively.Those with excess testosterone tend to be more aggressive and overtly hostile while those with excess estrogen, more nurturing and empathetic.
Now neither of these play into cognitive ability, but they are a clear difference in the way these two groups think. There are always outliers to a group so this doesn't fit 100% of people, but my point is a push to have a 50/50 split of the workforce in any industry is idiotic and counter productive. As you said, all people are different and they will find their own calling. We have no need as a society to push people into a category to meet a quota.
There are obvious cognitive differences between men and women but we as a culture refuse to acknowledge these differences. This stems from decades of civil rights movements toting that everyone is exactly the same. That just isn't true. People are different, but different isn't bad. We should've focused focused on that decades ago and celebrated our differences.
Unfortunately, we've backed ourselves into a corner where even the suggestion that one group of people is different than another is politically incorrect and even taboo.

First artical I found with a good overview of the process: http://www.vox.com/2014/8/28/6...
Science is awesome.
Fact Check: Are you a chemical engineer?

How would a country sustain a population with that law in place?

Actually you are taking the risk by using a credit card. Go to an ATM and get some cash. Problem solved.
Better yet, lets get rid of capitalism all together. How about we just walk into a store and be given what we want. Clearly we are all entitled to it.
