Thats not civilized at all. I mean if they could have made the guillotine cauterize the head and neck would that have made it more civalized? Thats just making it easier to do becuase it would make the act of killing seem less real.
Doesn't section 805 also cause problems like this Basiclly some humanitairan groups are unsure how to procede with helping people in "terrorist" controlled areas in the wake of the tsunami.
Had they been able to read martian, they would have found it a lot sooner by just following the signs to "Jimbo's junk yand and space salvage, any part you want. You pull it $15"
I'm sure you must be pulling some of your post out of thing air. I'm willing to bet you just can't cut off your tracker and not have some alarm go off somewhere.
fly-i uses airbus, I was somewhat excited to fly on an airbus plane as I never have done so before. If European taxpayers helped me save over 200 hundred dollars this weekend when I had to fly home for a funeral this weekend, then they have my deepest thanks.
What they are paying for is the metal and labor that went into producing that vehicle.
So your saying that no one makes a profit in this whole process. Ford doesn't make a profit on the crown vic? The company that makes the lights doesn't make a profit? the company that makes the stickers that say "to protect and serve" or "Ambulance" doesn't make a profit? The company that puts this all together for the department doesn't make a profit? All the medical equipment in the back of an evac is sold at costt to produce? I'm sure your not just paying for cost of material, I bet the city/municipality is paying so companies do what companies strive to do, make a profit.
Anr when did we start applying morality to companies?
If he is in fact guilty here are my thoughts on why he might have done this.
This is all speculation, which in my opinion is the best kind of *lation. I've often found that while obseviving others and thinking back to some of my own actions people don't think much about the future. Maybe he just saw the opportunity to make a quick buck. Immediate gratification.
Maybe after dealing with the bureaucracy so long he thought he could do it with out anyone really noticing. Many people often say how bad the system is and how easy it would be to steal from it, but we often don't see the whole system and all its parts to know how to really steal from it. Superiority.
Maybe he wasn't thinking rationally at all. I don't think stealing is rational, which is one of the reasons I haven't been able to rationalize stealing from others. So I don't steal from others. I think we are trying too hard to place our thoughts in to his state of mind. Maybe he just wasn't rational in his actions. Greed. So there are three possible explanations to his actions, but seriously who know why he might have done what he might have done. Course there is always stupidity. Yeah Stupidity has to account for a lot of the actions people do.
I remeber when the school of Crimminology did that. They felt that the school was getting to easy and more students needed to fail. It was wierd because at the time in some rankings FSU's school of criminology was ranked number 5. We had at least one professor leave for that very reason. She told us in class I will not be dicated to on what grades I have to give. I was considering changing my major again, but by that point it would have cost be money. It did make for great motivation. Good times.
No actually I've graduated from college so I don't write papers anymore. I don't waste time thinking about the English language, as long as my code compiles I don't care.
But hey if pointing out my spelling / grammar mistakes floats your boat, you go right ahead.
I always found that a good 'grammer checker' was to use a text to speach program if you don't have anyone else to read your own paper. This caught more erros for me than MS's grammer check. I can't blame MS for this. The English and I'm sure many languages are really hard to break down in to a set of rules a computer can understand given so much is based on the context.

Hypocrisy is a popular tool of statecraft. It's like Espionage.
