So there's no such thing as testimony? People can't be held in contempt of court for refusing to answer a question (not counting self-incrimination)? While the crime can't be speech alone (except direct threats, yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, etc.), speech can absolutely be used as evidence.
(Notice I removed the "thoughts" part from your statement, that was on purpose.)
The purpose of those locks isn't really to prevent someone from stealing from your luggage. It's so they can't do it without you realizing it. They don't even need pliers, just cut through the fabric with a knife. But again, the point is I will KNOW that someone got into my bag, and be able to hold the airline (or whoever) responsible.
Thank you. I'm sure superwiz would have said the same, but he was too busy fitting his asshole for a new pole.
I had never heard of the affect of the DDT ban on the spread of malaria before. Obviously I had heard of the ban, and a causal link between the 2 makes sense, but I had just been ignorant of the issue and it's scale before this.
I still find the comment "Environmentalism has killed 40 million people." to be inflammatory at best, and certainly not informative in any way. Especially given the context of the original statement, lumping it into a group with the Communist Empire and Fascism. Godwin's Law in action I suppose.
Wow, you sure are full of things that you "have no doubt" about. As we all know, the truest measure of intelligence is certainty. After all, didn't Socrates say "All I know is that everything I know is true."?/s
Although I was doubtful of your statement, my request for a citation was genuine, you could have simply said "look up the DDT ban and it's affect on the spread of malaria". But apparently you would rather spend the time (and more words) trying to feel superior.
I'm not going to do your research for you. Note that I said "likely" -- the crime of rape, in particular, is difficult if not impossible to compare nation-to-nation or even state-to-state because of reporting differences, driven as much by culture as by law enforcement.
So in other words, you have no idea whether what you're saying is true, but you're saying it anyway. Ok, thanks, I have my answer.
Thanks for the info. I don't use my VPN all the time (in fact it's usually off, like right now), so it shouldn't be a problem. But good to know anyway.
eliminating handguns from the USA would likely bring our rape rate up
Ok, I've seen this enough in this thread, usually from the people who are claiming the results cited in TFA are BS. So I need a citation. Show me that in similarly developed countries, but with higher levels of gun control, the rates of sexual assault and/or rape are consistently higher.
Oh, and remember, correlation != causation, right? Or does that all of a sudden change when it supports what you believe?
BTW, while I'm pro 2nd Amendment, I'm also anti made up bullshit. Show me your bullshit isn't made up.
Wait, now I'm confused. Do guns keep us safer or not? Either the country is safe or it isn't. You seem to be saying, the country is safe enough that we don't need stricter gun laws, but too dangerous to have stricter gun laws.
BTW, I'm not necessarily on either side, I just hit the bottom of this rabbit-hole of a thread and now I can't remember which way is up.
I was oversimplifying. Yes, technically only trademarks can be "lost" outright in this manner. However, you can hurt your case and limit the recoverable damages if you don't pursue infringement in a timely manner. IANAL, but the legal terms that apply here are "laches" and "equitable estoppel".
Why didn't they turn this information over to the police and let them go after the person?
This comment has come up far too often in this thread. Intellectual Property disputes are self-enforced. If someone is infringing on your copyright, trademark, or patent, it is YOUR responsibility to pursue them in court. In fact, if you don't pursue people who infringe, you can actually lose the exclusive rights to your IP.

The sad thing is, in spite of all this I still trust the FBI more than I trust a lot of other 3-letter agencies; CIA, NSA, etc...

This must be such a dilemma for Republicans... which ideology do I sacrifice to the other?!

A for Arrogance.
I guess that leads us right back to where it started: whether or not having guns makes us more safe or less safe.

Fuck, you're right, that would be way cooler. Let's change the second amendment so we can own those instead.
Go fuck yourself. You, and the asshole who modded you up. I hope a minority shoots you both in the dick.
In my experience, preexisting bias is incredibly difficult to fix.

Duh. What part of Team America: World Police don't you understand?
Heck yeah. PIA is awesome. Glad to see that they are keeping their promise! :D

Wow, you saw the San Bernardino attacks coming 8 years in advance? Why the hell didn't you warn us, asshole?
Nah, a Republican would say we should torture the phone until it gives us the access code.

It's not fair for you to get my hopes up like that. Be still by beating heart.
