Laying claim to a fairly huge chunk of the globe, and asserting control of the shipping, is extremely valuable on its own. If anything is going to cause ww3, it's China militarizing and claiming ownership of the sea.
Children use public transportation here too, school buses.
I'm not going to pretend like stupid things don't happen around how the state allows people to raise their children; but, let's not pretend that it's solely a united states problem; or, that walking to school is remotely among the chief concerns.
I imagine in most countries, school isnt very far from home. In many places in the US, school is miles and miles, from home, and even then would require walking along a highway.
I lived less than a mile from school exactly one year of my adolescence, and that one year, I walked.
I dont care how crazy it comes off or about getting modded down. Trump is a ringer who's only purpose is to make sure no Republican candidate has a chance in the elections.
The entire intellectual property debate is backwards.
The 'creators' or their descendants, in most cases, aren't the ones who are doing the plebs a favor when ip enters the public domain. It is the public who are doing the creators a favor by pretending that thoughts are equatable to actual property. Once a thought leaves somebodys fruity little mind it's no longer theirs. You can think up a unique set of words or a cartoon mouse, but once it is out of your head, I can say those words or draw that mouse. The only reason you can stop me, is because society decided it is worth pretending that those ideas are the same as actual property so that the creators will be able to make a living bettering society with their works.
The problem is that this idea has gotten twisted beyond the breaking point. To the point that people believe ownership of ideas is the same as owning a rock, and that people who are sick of literally paying forever to protect the ideas of dead men from being used freely, are thought of as parasites.
The people who decided that any video labeled pixels belongs to them and is to be removed from the internet. Thats who.

Blizzard's most recent shareholders earnings call was 2 days ago, and it revealed that WoW is down to 5.6 million subscribers at the end of Q2 2015.
It's the lowest reported number since vanilla, but I'd say its still pretty good for a decade old game, and far above other mmos

Versus everybody else who I either disagree with on everything flat out, or they pay lip service and then never do anything or do the opposite of what they claimed to begin with.
Not like any Presidents I know.
In general, to use craigslist you are going to need a cell phone and email service and you are going to leave a trail of evidence. The numbers of murders tied to craigslist since its inception is under 60. http://lawstreetmedia.com/blog...
Sure there are likely people who disappeared that were never noticed but probably not thousands.
In comparison police officers killed over 1,100 just in 2014.

Even if the police were 95% accurate in only killing people who 'deserved' it, one year of police slayings still out numbers all of craigslists murders.
And if you want to quibble over numbers, quadruple the craigslist numbers and cut the police numbers by a third and its still not close.
Thats the problem. By the numbers the police kill an awful lot more people then strangers on craigslist; and face far fewer repercussions.
And it isnt just minorities selling cigarettes, they kill white people too.
"It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. â
Reality is insane enough without hyperbole, conspiracies, or racism. What AC posted would be much more effective if he left out things like claiming 9/11 was a nuclear attack.
The government will either molest your family or photograph them naked before you are allowed on a plane.
All of your internet and telephone data is being captured by the government.
Torture is de facto legal.
Not only are those things are openly done and accepted, they are explicitly approved of by the populace and questioning them gets you labeled as unamerican, at best.
I think that the problem is far worse then people not knowing or caring. It seems like the overwhelming majority are strict authoritarians who almost demand that the government is involved in everyone else's life every waking second.
The 'I have nothing to hide' crowd are the most unamerican, morally bankrupt, cowardly scumbags on earth, and they vastly outnumber the rest.
I work in a facility where there are government inspectors on site 24/7 and the things we get away with are absurd.
From my own personal experience regulations are already barely even payed lip service as it is.
I've been wearing glasses almost all of my life, and since I am wearing them already, it would be great to have additional functionality.
Its seems like all the privacy issues related to these already exist, except worse, because people pretend the issues dont exist, and it seems much harder to hide google glass. I really dont think you have to worry about somebody wearing 'smart' glasses following you around recording you, and if you do have to worry about that, then you are already in danger and already have an awful lot of your plate.
Besides privacy the only other problem seems to be that people just dont like the users. Maybe Im under thinking this, but if the human behind the device is the worst part of it, then why demonize the technology

Would there be nothing wrong with that?
You wouldn't be charged with murder. Not even with real pictures of somebody's dead mother.
Maybe if you drew a murder and told people this is what I am going do, you would be charged with something, but still not murder charges.
Then your rates go up; and, at some point in the future 'regular' insurers just won't cover people who don't fall in line, only high risk places

What's the end game with all this?
Imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever

Just like the US couldnt do anything about Kim Dotcom
Walmart or google isn't going to kick down your doors in the middle of the night and shoot your dog

You can also get two bums to consent to a fist fight in the street for twenty bucks, dosent make it legal.
