Not to mention confiscating your technological gadgets. You thought getting a laptop past the border was hard, let's try an entire vehicle that no-one's seen before that some young punks claim is a "magic car" that runs on sunshine and happiness.
Why? They're one of the only groups on-site that I deal with that are worth a damn. I'd hire all Mexican crews, if I was allowed to (but I can't, because that's discrimination).
When I was in college, we had one girl in the class who was, objectively speaking, gorgeous. She had a spectacular body, amazing face, and she always dressed to show everything off. She would lean wayyy over when she was talking to guys, and she knew exactly what she was making us see. However, she would get SO MAD if she actually caught you looking at her, and she'd wrap her coat around her in a huff and get all pissed that she was being "treated as an object".
She was extremely smart, and she got very good grades in a very hard course.
I think she was just trying to confuse everyone around her, because I still don't know what the hell she was doing. I understand that she continued this behavior right on out of college and into the workplace.
When I was in Comp Sci at my college, there were probably 2 Asians. As of a couple years ago, the entire college enrollment is now 50% FES (Foreign Exchange Student), even if the town itself only went from about 1% to 2% Asian people. When looking at a given population, everything changes when you zoom IN (women in science) or zoom out (Asians in Comp Sci).
My sister is a Comp Sci wiz, and she's better at sports than me, and she earns more money. If we're just looking at raw numbers, she IS a dude. I demand industry fairness for men!
What about racial equality? Is that one just not cool anymore? Because I know there white/non-white ratio of people in my field (locally, at least) is about three times higher than the white/non-white ratio of the general population (locally, at least).
THAT'S IT!!! No more white people allowed to become architects until we fix these numbers!
There's no way that the American government would allow the teaching of critical thought and lie detection to it's citizenry. That's like showing the inmates where the guns and keys are kept.
They didn't stop any EXISTING projects, which total some $2 billion, but merely froze all NEW applications. They're just letting the unfettered Zerg rush of solar-available land continue without giving anyone a chance to think about it.
But if we abolish copyright, then we can't keep suiing Viacom for copyright infringement!
In 2007 Viacom, claiming copyright infringment, requested the removal of a Youtube video that contained a part of their show, Web Junk 2.0, which featured a video from Youtube that Viacom allegedly used without permission. Christopher Knight, the creator of the video, wrote in a blog post: "So Viacom took a video that I had made for non-profit purposes and without trying to acquire my permission, used it in a for-profit broadcast. And then when I made a YouTube clip of what they did with my material, they charged me with copyright infringement and had YouTube pull the clip. Folks, this is, as we say down here in the South, 'bass-ackwards.'"[5] Knight subsequently filed a Digital Millennium Copyright Act counter-notification claim with YouTube. Two weeks later Viacom yielded to Knight and the disputed clip was restored.
It may be sad, but it's also the delightfully hard fact of reality. This is one of those rare situations where wishful thinking and reality actually met up, had coffee, and decided to go home together.

Some do, though... it's very wierd.

Yes, and the Polish were sure glad they weren't Germany...

How far do you have to drill to find solar energy?
Yes, yes, oil is technically solar energy, but still...

I recommend checking eBay.
