As long as Mexico can dump its desperate poor on the US and they funnel cash back it'll never have to fix things at home. The US is Mexico's pressure relief valve.
Too bad they only let cops and the military buy them. I think every Store 24 employee should have the right to buy one of these. Their jobs are more dangerous.

Maybe it is because you guys have shitty aim. I saw the security tapes from that breakout and all you guys did was hit the walls and stand around watching light saber fights.
I probably don't have the exact words he used (it was many years ago) so he may not have said "...unless I ask". It may have been just "You don't have to tell me". Anyway, I get your point.
Very good advice. When I was in college I was bringing some 6 packs of beer up to a friend's dorm (I was 21) in a paper bag. A younger campus cop stopped me and asked if I was a student. I said yes and showed him my card and said I was just carrying some beer and that I was legal. He actually told me, "You don't have to tell me what is in the bag unless I ask." so I quickly said "Ok, it's just some groceries." And that was the end of it. He must've been new enough to not be jaded yet.
Would it have been ok if he had gone into the coffee shop and not bought anything yet still used the WiFi? Does it matter where he is sitting at the time?
On a different subject, if I ran a coffee shop I'd rather have him come in for 20 minutes and leave without buying anything than the people who buy a $2 espresso and camp out for 4 hours.
Lets see, low pay, undisciplined students, violence and obscenities in urban schools, teaching for standardized tests, low budgets, and now humiliation via the internet. Teaching sure looks like a great job!
Actually you could play the idea of total transparency. You could start off with real information (pictures, receipts, etc) like the guy in the article does. But then you start putting up bogus info while you do something else. You take a trip to do some dirty deed but in the meantime you have put up prearranged photos with faked dates, phony blogs, etc. Privacy through obfuscation?
As an example, J Edgar Hoover kept secret files on people who hadn't been accused of any crime, just "targets of interest". Some of those files have been open and they frequently are full of gossip and vendetta fueled informants. Just the fact that people in the government vaguely knew that the FBI was doing this was enough to stifle dissent or reform of the FBI.
No, I know it's an embargo. But blocking a country that is a major producer of something will also act as a kind of price subsidy. It artificially limits the market. From comments here it looks like Cuba isn't the big sugar grower it once was but I do remember that every time the issue of dropping the embargo came up in the 70s one of the biggest opposition groups was the US Sugar Producers Assoc (or whatever it is called).
Farmers are also bound more and more in the US to a handful of mega food processors that set the price paid for crops. Here in the northeast dairy farmers get a tiny fraction of the cost of milk (which is very high) because there are only a few milk processors here that they can't avoid.
BTW, you are also "shoveling money" into Nigeria and Norway.
They should make ethanol from unhealthy foods instead, like Twinkies, eclairs, or Jolly Ranchers. I find my car runs on the watermelon flavor the best.
...or how stores sell summer clothes in Dec and winter jackets in Sep, "free" means free with $20 shipping and handling, colleges charge almost as much in fees as they do in tuition and scholarships only cover tuition, a low-cal food has tiny serving sizes and low-fat means lots of sugar...
So what? That didn't stop them from building civil defense bunkers in the 50's. They even built a massive bunker for Congress in West Virginia so they could administer the rubble.
This guy seems to be doing well. I have yet to read a story on the mob in the last 15 years that didn't include everyone arrested informing on everyone else. Your comment may have been true 20+ years ago but not anymore.

But their salad bowl makes a great helmet. Plus it keeps your head fresh.

Finally, FINALLY, someone is thinking about the children!
Thank god the state of Michigain pursued this crime. Now if Al Qaeda thought it could steal WiFi from America's coffee shops well, think again Osama!

And he is marching the troops into the Teutoburg Forest.

It is one of the biggest (and closest). Brazil may be bigger though.
I assume you don't drive a gas guzzler then or take lots of long flights. They are only meeting a demand just like drug dealers.

But then they'd have to open trade with Cuba (sugar cane) and that doesn't get you those sweet, sweet (excuse the pun) FL votes.

Please show all of your work when submitting your answers. Thank you
I would've liked a brief description on mouse-over for each one instead of having to follow links.
Nope, back to "insightful"
Don't feel bad. Jumping to wild conclusions (either when modding or in replies) is the pastime here on slashdot.

I was just talking about the mafia in particular. Not everyone in general.
