Sending someone to report on conditions in some remote area of the world doesn't happen for free. That person has to be transported, fed, clothed.
So you just change the model on how you operate. Use independent reporters that can be contracted in their local areas instead of sending expensive reporters all over the world.
Ok you can tell people they don't understand, congratulations. Now can you tell us why you do understand, maybe enlighten us with your superior understanding or do you just shout out insults from behind the safety of your PC like some paranoid Tourette's patient?
scientists won't say what it is until they can prove what it is.
You'd think they would have included a simple test to determine if any liquid they find is water since that is one of the main reasons they are there.
Also why is it so hard to detect life? I could get a crappy child's microscope and look at a drop of muddy water here on earth and easily find life. Why not include a simple microscope and look at a drop of the liquid?
Come to my private road. I'll beat your ass off of it -- so hard you'll forget the teeth you've lost.
Such strong, aggresive words typed anonymously over the internet from your computer while in your jammies. Maybe have another sippy of cocoa and you will feel better.
Another OS From which we have to choose from Why do we need this? Seriously, why hasn't BeOS (and OS/2 for that matter) just disappeared. As if the numerous Linux and BSD distros didn't make the market confusing enough.
And what's with all these dozens of menu items when I go into a restaurant? I only need a few types of food to survive, all these choices just confuse me.
I don't even have cable... But don't let that stop your panicky "insult him ! quick ! I'm starting to have doubts about weed-induced world peace !" adventures...
Doesn't matter you obviously have the knee-jerk, yell louder and you're correct attitude of the O'Reilly clones.
After all what are facts when you have the comfort of parotting what the tv tells you, that the only possible reason for doubting a massacrer's good intentions is racism...
I don't watch TV. I choose not to be force fed corporate propaganda that you seem to eat up with a spoon. Now go back to kicking your dog or whatever you choose to take out your misguided anger upon, you're stinking the place up.
Well, my mother has worked for the California prison system for 15 years and knows tons guards personally (I call them guards, she calls them correctional officers). I just spoke with her and the base salary of guards was arount 100,000 a year and many can push it to 150,000 with overtime. Why do you think their union fought so hard to defeat Prop 5?
Also you are quoting federal wages, most prisons are run at the state level.
Just because something doesn't work all the time for all the people doesn't mean it isn't worth the investment or that it should be dismissed outright. The fact is that while the law enforcement/prison system may not be perfect, it is preventing some people from committing additional unlawful acts. When you're talking about crimes such as theft, rape, murder, etc., that is a significant and worthy cause.
The prison system is a complete failure. The guards make insane amounts of money as do the companies that get contracted to perform services such as food and laundry. This leads to corruption on many levels all the way up to the lawmakers who pass ridiculous laws in order to keep the prisons full. The prison guards have a very powerful lobby in CA that was instrumental in stopping Proposition 5 which would have reduced prison populations dramatically and saved billions in tax dollars.
There is nothing worthy about this system. The majority of prisoners are non-violent offenders, mostly drug offenses that should be treated as a medical issue rather than a criminal one. A simple Google search will give you all the information you need to know about Prison Inc.

ah, but how many eBooks do we have from the first century AD?
Between 150 B.C.E. to 70 C.E..
2nd century AD.
Infrared photograph of everyone in the theatre. Mark my words, this is coming. For "security" reasons, to fight terrorism, etc
That would be counter-productive and would drive away customers from an already troubled industry.
Unfortunately nowadays, there's software that's more insidious than viruses, and it's beyond Norton's skill to detect.
Nothing is beyond the power of the pink shirt.
Blasphemer!

tasks that are simple here on earth, are shit loads harder when your a few million miles away on another planet....
I understand this but these are simple enough tests to include considering the more advanced testing they did include.

The discussion requires an open mind.
You must be very new here.
...so it can be very hard to detect them before the impact shockwave turns us to jelly.
Mmm... jelly.

Wake me when you are not in fact allowed to leave your own country,
Hmmm.. would you rather be waken up now or when the government agents break down your door?
Law enforcement agencies tweak the rules for profit.
Yawn, wake when you have something new.
...save the liver!
Oh yeah? Where's that at?
Where's what at?
I can only find references to the part where the US invades and occupies until the local people setup a new government... and then leave.

There you go, all fixed.

Of course that's because you're a total coward : you only complain if the side you're madly blabbering about doesn't attack you back.
Geez, another brainwashed Fox clone. Go back to the TV and leave us alone you robot.
Yeah right....ok, how many new countries have we annexed in the past couple of decades...go ahead...I'm waiting.
Hmm.. military bases in 180 countries, I guess they are just sightseeing.

When this disaster is over,
Over? I'll only believe it's over when the last bank executive is strangled by the entrails of the last politician(apologies to Voltaire).
