All militaries (not just the American one) have a need to feel that their mission is worthwhile. That has to be corrected. Quite often, militaries get sent off on fool's errands, or have to stay somewhere they shouldn't have gone into in the first place.
I'm not blaming the poor SOBs who signed up under Clinton for getting sent to Vietnam 2.0. I'm blaming them for sticking their heads in the sand and pretending it was a good idea, when it's been made quite clear to even the thickest redneck that it wasn't.
Oh, and I'm not American. I, along with the rest of the world, warned you that this was a bad idea. I bear no responsibility for your mistakes.
I did let my Member of Parliament know how I felt about the prospect of invading Iraq, and my country made the correct decision on the matter.
The military is intended to do, not think, and that's part of the problem. There needs to be a mechanism for the military, at all levels, to understand when they're in a bad mission and make the best of it. As opposed to sticking their heads in the sand and crying "support the troops" when they do something stupid.
The military has no business telling people what to think. The consensus is that this is a failed mission (as the world warned the US it would be) and they have to live with that.
Don't throw out your hair brained ideas if you can't implement them. If you can implement them, do so and demonstrate why they're a good/bad idea, rather than whining and bitching and hoping someone else will do it for you.
But that's solvable simply by gathering more data points. It will converge on the location.
I imagine the problem isn't so much getting to it's location, as finding a path to it. Simply heading in a straight line for an unknown distance isn't feasible.
That salary inflation can only go as far as the medium is still profitable (over the long term, not necessarily individual instances). It's not really a bad thing. It directs more of the profits to the people actually involved in creating the entertainment, and less to the suits who've done nothing substantive.
If the revenue of a particular medium goes down, those sort of salaries will necessarily follow.
All shoplifting deterrence boils down to either intimidation or shame. It isn't enforceable. You have no right to detain or search someone you can't prove stole something, and people are well within their rights to tell you to get bent if you try (and physically harm you if you try to force the issue). If you are able to bring enough force (or intimidation) to hold them, you're both criminally and civilly liable if you cannot prove they stole something.
A laminated card can't be run through a mag reader. I wasn't proposing people actually tamper with their licenses, just that they make it appear so on casual inspection. Have enough people do it, and soon enough she'll bite and hold the wrong person. Confiscating ID is a form of arrest, as the person really can't leave without it. I'd be shocked to learn that bartenders really have the right to confiscate legitimate ID.
Just as with the shoplifting example, the suspected thief can insist that the cops be called, and they'll be released if they haven't any evidence. And then the rent-a-cop would lose a big chunk of change, as the burden of proof is on them.
Lots of other animals either have or can be taught language, and many more than that have a stricter and more defined social structure. (Morality has no objective meaning.) "What makes us human" is not any one thing, but rather a confluence of many factors:
We're sufficiently social We're can think abstractly We can communicate abstractly We don't make our children figure things out on their own We're omnivorous, which makes agriculture much easier to develop We have highly dexterous manipulators We're aggressive enough to wipe out any natural predators We're horny enough to fill any available niche quickly (geologically speaking).
There are countless examples of other species that have one or two of these traits.
The protector could be explained away as just that, a protector. Claim that you've had to replace your license in the past due to scratching. I can't imagine there's any law against that, especially if there's no functional difference.
All "citizen arrest" laws I'm aware of only offer protection if the arrestor is *right*. If a security guard apprehends you for suspected shoplifting and can't prove it, you're well within your rights to press assault charges as well as civil action. I imagine the laws with regard to fake ID are the same. Surely bartenders cannot be allowed to forcibly hold someone without a valid reason.
This bitch deserves some comeuppance. I hope there are some New Yorkers out there with enough spine to give it to her.
Gather up some young looking 21 year olds, throw a bit of lcd protector film or somesuch on their ids to make them look tampered with and get this bitch thrown in jail when she steals valid id.
I think they should have the right to do what they want with it. Sure, but that doesn't mean you should have the right to tell other people what they can do with it. If you build a road on public property, you can't put up a toll.
Brazil is still paying *someone* to produce the drug surely they're making a profit. I'm sure they would have been quite happy to pay the same price to the original company, but they refused to do business on Brazil's grounds.
This isn't about patents, it's about profiteering.
If drug companies invested a significant percentage of their revenue on research. They don't (about 5%). It's *far* more efficient to give the money that would be spend on non-generic drugs to university research programs.

But a manual gate around a train crossing? That's just asking for trouble.
It's to keep them in the ground when the zombie apocalypse comes.

He just stored himself in the transporter buffer.
Take directional measurements at two points. See where they cross.
Yeah, I imagine it would. You probably could have even sent them off to Syria for "questioning".

Unless you're confusing "morality" with "mortality".

Google Michael Crook for an object lesson.
Of course you can release your own stuff without copyright. Those of us who oppose it want everything released without it.
Most large corporations send in the lawyers from the start as an intimidation tactic.

HIV mutates very quickly, so treatment drugs do have a lifespan. That doesn't excuse charging more than people can pay, though.
