    Christianity is not about forcing a world view, religion, beliefs, or anything on anyone else. It's about spreading the good news of the Gospel to everyone so they have the choice to be saved or not.

    You might want to inform the Pope and the billion or so Catholics of this fact.

    " Last I checked self-determination and free market capitalism were some of the founding principles of this country ..."

    Last time I checked, the Constitution and Bill of Rights made no mention of "free market capitalism". Did I miss the memo?

    "The scientific community overwhelmingly denies that your precious organic food is any more nutritious."

    Not necessarily more nutritious, but certainly cultivated without most of the chemical pesticides. People are interested in LESS CHEMICALS ... not eating produce that was effectively grown in poisoned soil.

    But I can see the holes in my knowledge.

    And with that one statement, you have separated yourself from the mere code jockeys. That statement on a résumé would pique my attention.

    Why does it seem like Democrats are at least as effective at infringing on civil liberties as Republicans are, but never seem to get called on their BS to the same degree?

    I call this Democrat sponsored bill BS.

    I also call the bill stupid, idiotic, unconstitutional, and lame-brained. The first thing that comes to mind here is "Nanny State" ... Free speech is a constitutional right ... reading blogs on the internet is a choice. Choose not to read them.

  15. Re:In the US: Photographer's Rights on Angry Villagers Run Google Out of Town · · Score: 1

    I can tell you that those rights apply to individuals, but not commercial photographers producing works for hire.

    I would be interested in a citation ... the reason I'm asking is how then do the paparazzi operate? They are "commercial" photographers who sell their photographs in both the US & the UK. What about groups of news videographers and photographers?

    In the US, many states and cities have ordinances that cover large productions such as a film. I'm not sure why that is other than to help offset the costs of police coverage or pure profit.

    The general rule in the United States is that anyone may take photographs of whatever they want when they are in a public place or places where they have permission to take photographs. Absent a specific legal prohibition such as a statute or ordinance, you are legally entitled to take photographs. Examples of places that are traditionally considered public are streets, sidewalks, and public parks.

    They urged the major lenders to to get into sub-prime lending, which they wouldn't have done otherwise because it's terrible risk management.

    So the major lenders are easily swayed by suggestion? Some how this doesn't sound quite right unless all the major lenders are managed by complete financial idiots. More likely, they saw lots of profits, and the White House (Mr. Clinton at the time) gave them a convenient excuse to exercise unbridled greed and usury.
