In other words, you are taught that green doesn't really mean GO.
I much prefer the UK system where there are three phases: N/S traffic, E/W traffic, pedestrian. In each green phase, the other two have red lights. Thus when pedestrians are on the road they are safe from any traffic as it's all stopped. If no pedestrian presses a button, the pedestrian phase is very short and both traffic phases are very long. There's a good chance at remote/rural junction that pressing the button will cause the pedestrian phase to start almost immediately.
I'm not an American, so I was trying to work out who has voting rights and who does not. I wasn't sure if it's a federal or a state thing.
Thanks for clearing it up, I understand a bit more now, though I'll have to think on how to frame my next question about the FA, as it says that "Congress shall make no law", and doesn't refer to states. Still confused, but less so - thanks.
Hitler... developed an opinion based around the atheist argument of evolution that involve different races of people evolving differently over different point of history. They saw it as their duty to eliminate the dirty- less evolved- people from the world gene pool. They went from forced sterilizations, forced abortions, to euthanasia and genocide. That's right, most of the horrors of WWII was due to atheist principles.
Atheist principles? There is one, only ONE atheist principle, and that is : There is no god.
Evolution has nothing to do with atheism, other than if you say evolution is bunk because god created the world, the atheists will say "you are wrong because there is no god". I apologise if I generalise about atheists here, but none take it as FACT that evolution is 100% the way things happened. It's still a theory, but it's the only one so far that answers all the questions about where we came from - but there's no irrefutable evidence, just lots and lots and lots of pieces of the jigsaw that science is still trying to put together.
There is no relation between atheism and WWII. Hitler was not an atheist. How do we know? Well here are some of his quotes:
"As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice."
"I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so."
"God the Almighty has made our nation. By defending its existence we are defending His work"
"I may not be a light of the church, a pulpiteer, but deep down I am a pious man, and believe that whoever fights bravely in defense of the natural laws framed by God and never capitulates will never be deserted by the Lawgiver, but will, in the end, receive the blessings of Providence."
"I, for my part, acknowledge another precept which says that man must deal the final blow to those whose downfall is destined by God."
"The judgment whether a people is virtuous or not virtuous can hardly be passed by a human being. That should be left to God."
"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work."
Hmm, so if WWII was started by Hitler, and Hitler thought that killing Jews was what god wanted, that makes WWII a religiously started war because Hitler was doing what God told him to do.
Facebook still allows people to tag "nothings" in photos, so they can tag me in a photo and I won't get ANY notification because the Tag itself won't like to my page - instead it'll just say my name when they hover over it.
It could also say "Donald Duck". That name has no connection to you at all, other than someone else has typed it in. As you say, NO LINK.
A potential employer does some research on me - and they find that I have a facebook account but can't see anything but my picture. They then continue their goolge search and see a random picture someone put up of me with my tag on it and know its me because of the photo.
Damn - all I did was enter my name and a good photo of myself - and my reputation got ruined outside of my control.
If your reputation can be destroyed as simply as that, then you have hardly any reputation at all. What the hell is your resume like that a potential employer will blow you off because of an unlinked and therefore unsubstantiated photo of you on the internet doing something innocuous? As said countless times by countless other people here, if there are photos that bad of you posted by your friends - get new friends. If a potential employer won't hire you because of a single photo that may not even be of you - then why would you work for them, they are obviously a bunch of evil twats.
So ask them to take them down. How difficult is that? If they refuse, defriend and block them, it removes the tag.
Also, how the hell is your boss (or any other prospective employer) going to find photos of you unless you are friends with them? Being FB friends with your boss is ASKING for trouble.
I admit I'm impressed if you actually make that work in the UK. If it does work just like that for you, then sure, no reason to change it.
It does, and it wasn't till I left the UK did I find that the world doesn't always work that way. It's one of the things I really miss, but at least Canada (my new home) isn't that far from it. Acceptably so, but only just.

How do you distinguish a voter who abstains in protest from a voter who is happy with the status quo?

Would you consider voting an expression of your views? Is the right to vote therefore protected by the First Amendment?
Is the First Amendment transitive to States, so that a State may not infringe your right to express your views?

Sorry, I forgot that when gauging the economy of a country with 300+ million people, the experts call you and base their findings on your anecdotes.
Is this some kind of new universal law, or one only applicable where you live? Cos I don't live where you live.

Yes, by definition. If it doesn't weigh a kilogram, then it cannot be a kilogram.

I think you'll find the word currently used in English comes from Japanese (kohtoh - where the "o" is long as in "or" and the "h" is not pronounced)
Hand in your Japanese fan club card. There are no long vowels in Japanese.

it's because you have failed severely to do the most cursory investigations into it before forming your opinion.
And this is where you are so utterly, utterly wrong that I'll stop teaching a pig to sing.
