    So "getting cute" is when the legal boundaries are followed and the outcome is not to your liking?
    While I believe states need funding as well, when a law is in effect and it is followed to the letter, there is nothing else to be done aside from changing said laws.

    ... and conversely, unemployment payment is theft, on that note.

    That would overstep the boundaries of the federal government.
    State governments govern their own taxes, constitutionally.

    I wouldn't test internet speed when testing 4G, I'd test intra-network connectivity speed. Less of a chance of there being a shared internet connection that is being saturated, in that case.

    Dude... tower telemetry triangulation is not GPS, in spite of what a phone says.

    Real GPS uses satellite alone for latitude/longitude.

    They never said rape has actually gone up, they just make the reader think that but saying that it can cause them to go up. Not that it has or ever will.

    If your reading it as a Lawyer, then I'd agree. If you're reading it as a person reading it like the rest of the readers reading it, you'd take it as a given assumption by the sentence that rape has increased. Anytime you say "the can be attributed in large part to the playing out of scenes in video games", it automatically denotes that happened, and this thing after it could possibly be the cause.

    Now, if you rip it apart in a Lawyer'esque fashion then your right, the plantiff rests his case.
