It doesn't "have to" be the same everywhere, but then you have to a) give a suitable explanation as to why it wouldn't be the same and b) come up with some experimental data that backs this up.
But then again if you will never, ever, ever leave Antarctica because Africa is just too far away for either you or your species to ever travel that distance - does it matter?
The sensible argument is to be cautious and conscious about our breeding instead of advocating mass murder. There really is no excuse for couples to have dozens of children nowadays. However mass death will happen whether we like it or not if we just ignore this issue. Disease, famine and war for ever more limited resources is simply not going to ask our permission before killing us.
And why use additional electricity, when one of the greatest problems we face today is overpopulation...
Fixed that for you. Global warming is a symptom. It's not the disease. Cut the population in 1/7th and we can pollute to our heart's content with a negligible impact on our environment. Double the population and we all have to pollute half as much as we do today just to maintain the status quo (yeah - like that's going to happen). Quadruple the population and we're fucked. Who is going to cut their electricity use or consumption to 1/4 of what it is today - just to maintain the destructive status quo?
You do realize that children don't come from the womb fully trained right?
No, actually they are pretty stupid. I know mine were. That's what parents are for, to train them. There really is no excuse. I've never had a kid use my credit card, and I've never had to smack them around or be otherwise cruel to them to achieve this. It can be done by YOU - not the government.
No, I have a 20 year old and an 18 year old kid. I'm sure they haven't changed them much in the past couple decades. Be creative. You are the parent, after all.
I get what you're saying, but a search engine is supposed to search the web, not a subset of the web.
A USEFUL search engine presents a subset of the web as a result - said subset determined by your search criteria. Otherwise you might as well crawl it yourself. Nothing is stopping you.
There already is - most if not all phones come with software locks and password protections. You just want to be lazy and not have to lock your phone every time you put it down. Another safety protection from 2 year olds is putting it on a counter.
Credit cards and children have been around for a long time. It's your own fault if you're incapable of raising your kids properly. Please don't shift the blame onto "society".
To be expected really from the popular media. Ignore the tens of thousands killed, the hundreds of thousands made homeless/jobless by the tsunami, but hype the shit out of Fukushima because it's "rah-dee-oh-act-iff", people don't understand it, and maybe a dozen people will get cancer from it in 40 years.
is marijuana really proved to be totally non-addictive?
You mean, like coffee is non-addictive? Like cigarettes are non-addictive? Like alcohol is non-addictive?
I smoked pot 2 or 3 times when I was a teenager, and never have done since then. So have hundreds of thousands of other people. Exactly how addictive do you need it to be? Why don't you prove rather that it IS addictive.
Voting is a sham. Even your founding fathers knew this when Franklin said "democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for dinner". Democracy is a word that you shove into people's faces to tell them to accept anything the government wants to do to them in exchange for putting an 'x' on a piece of paper every 4 years.
Yeah, ok, these goods are allowed to be exported to Panama - a friendly nation. And they are sold to someone in Panama. Now what are you going to do? Panamanian law places no such restrictions on exports. So they are sold in Panama to someone in Costa Rica - another friendly nation. And from Costa Rica they are sold to Venezuela. And from Venezuela to Iran. And from Iran to Syria. What exactly are you going to do?
and that any party you sell it to also agree to these terms.
And such countries that recognize the right of first sale render said contract null and void. You cannot bind third parties (or fourth or fifth parties) to your contract, especially when they reside/operate in a country far away from where the contract was signed.
That's BS. A rose by any other name is still a rose. This is just pretend work by useless people who have nothing else to contribute, and they share a special place in Hell right next to all the people who spend countless hours thinking up catchy name-acronyms for scientific studies - or government bills, for that matter.
What? Person A purchase from the US and ships to a a friendly non-US country. Person B buys it there and ships it to a neutral country. Person C sells it to a Syrian who then imports it from the neutral country. And it's all perfectly legal. Wait, you presume that US laws should apply to everyone in the whole world? You can't even get your own TSA to listen to your laws.

No, a good time to quit was about 4 years ago before they started pulling all this shit.

I've eaten meat from prize-winning bulls and it's delicious.
Oh? Where do you think steak comes from?
As the saying goes, you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Nah, sometimes you get steak.

An american complaining about monopoly money. Oh the irony.
they *must* revisit speed limits in most places.
I'm sure they will, and adjust the speed limit downwards a bit more to generate even more revenue. Be careful what you wish for.

Good thing we're about to run out, then...
And Cops will be renamed "Ow my balls!"
Guilty until proven innocent!
Not even that. It's "if he's running he must be guilty".
