Which terrorists want kill as many infidels as possible, with the final objective of wiping out the US and Israel? Please let us know.
Al-Qaida had a stated mission to get the US military out of 'the [Islamic] Holy Lands'. And it appears the US military has indeed left Saudi Arabia within the past few years.
When the kids can pay the monthly bill. If the kid does not pay for it, they have no incentive to keep the monthly costs down. That means it is more likely for kids to go over the limit (too many minutes), text message (if the provider charges per message), etc.
Kids really don't need cell phones.
Why should parents give kids every new electronic device that comes out? Can't parents just say no?
Who told you a cop's primary duties were 'to serve and protect'? If you were going by the LAPD's motto, it has nothing to do with any other police department. And even the LAPD knows full well it serves nothing and protects no one.
Law enforcement is reactive to real crimes after the fact, trying to investigate enough to pass suspects and evidence to prosecutors, who decide whether or not to try the cases (which may not go to trial if the suspect accepts a plea agreement).
Police also like to hassle people for victimless crimes like drug possession and use, gambling, prostitution, etc. If someone is hurting no one but himself, who cares?
Maybe the cops are there to make sure society follows the rules that legislative bodies concocted. Maybe there are still some cops who have not been corrupted by power and a feeling of being above the law. Maybe.

How can 'a rogue terrorist' get that plutonium?
Does the plant operator just hand it over on the back of a flat-bed truck?
I have a different experience with national labs. The bureaucracy was not too bad at
PNNL, and friends at
Oak Ridge have never complained about it.
On the other hand, a lot of Los Alamos employees have complained about it.
You could visit potential employers and ask people there about the work environment, office politics, etc. That would probably also give you the best feel of your possible future co-workers.
Do you have any preference for which part(s) of the country you would like to live in?
Is this the way all condos and apartment complexes should go?
Yes. Let's have everyone in condos and apartments monitored, to make sure no one is doing something stupid.
Can they watch to make sure we don't smoke cigarettes, eat junk food, drink too much, light off fireworks, grow pot, smoke that pot, watch dirty movies, etc.? And please keep us from catching any STDs.
But back in the real world, do people want to take personal responsibility for their own actions, and accept the consequences too?
You don't hear cases of 7-8 armed civilians beating the hell out of an unarmed, handcuffed police officer, but flip that around and it's suddenly less remarkable.
I am pretty sure I watched Michael Madsen cut off a cop's ear and pour gasoline on him. But that is only one armed civilian torturing an unarmed, handcuffed police officer -- definitely not the same thing. And it was fake.

Damn! I should have brought a camera.
Now I have to go back out in my boat, and find those mermaids riding their underwater perpetual-motion machines.
My aunt told me that was cocaine.
Thanks for ruining my birthday present.
Sorry mom.
Who knew Grape Ice Powerade was explosive?

I was going to have you come work in my basement.
Then I remembered, I don't have a basement.
I wish my space ship kit would arrive in the mail, so I could build it, fly there, and check it out.
I'll let you know what is really going on in that quasar.
Or we can hope for a faithless elector to pick someone else.
I wish all the electors in a given state would just choose someone not on the ballot, or -- better yet -- none of the above.
The Electoral College gives a lot of power to a few people. They could collude and choose anyone, no matter what the popular vote results showed.
You got it right.
If consumer demand was there, GM would want to keep the business going, don't you think?
With their current financial troubles, GM would certainly hock anything that earns money.
I doubt they would jettison a profitable line of business just to keep Big Oil (or even Big Taco) happy.
Or the source of the accusation is the same confidential informant. Just how reliable is that witness?
If you are innocent, then no amount of proof will make you guilty. If you are guilty, no lack of proof will make you innocent.
Right. Because we all know that no innocent person was ever wrongfully convicted, and no guilty person ever got away with it.

The devil's in the details.
Oh, I thought you wanted them to build Vista on the OpenBSD platform.
The cops are their own gang.
Try a black marker.
That was your tax dollars at work.
Buttle?
Tuttle?
Who cares?

yeah, ok. now which way to canada?
For the geography-challenged, Canada is north of the lower 48 states, east of Alaska.
If you live on another continent, it is in the north-most part of North America.
You could Google Maps or Google Earth to try to find it.
[Nashua is] the only city in the state that I know of with accusations of pulling people over for "driving while black"
I was surprised to learn that New Hampshire has black people.
Are you sure a small town of fewer than 50,000 people has its own SWAT team?
Maybe it was really the King County SWAT team?.
The Redmond Police Department has a few jobs open right now, if anyone is interested.
