Exactly. Furthermore, they are glossing over the fact that the same money for fewer hours of your life is a freaking raise and it is being perceived as a bad thing done to them Who is teaching value to these people?
I have been a developer for over 30 years and as such my life has been deeply entwined with emerging tech. I have a 6 year old kid and they were not allowed to see any television until they were two and then for no more than an hr per week. Even then, I picked the shows very carefully and they were downloaded and devoid of commercials. It was things like nature shows or geography and such. We never left them with the show by themselves and were always involved and used them as conversation primers and not as a nanny. As far as tablet/phones are concerned, at five we allowed use of a tablet for conveying certain concepts that were too hard to do using RL. Even then, it is limited to two hours per week. We then fill their time with many and varied other activities of a mix between, cerebral/physical, solo/social, competitive/collaborative, and more. They will not have their own device until they are driving their own vehicle. Devising and executing what I consider a healthy and fruitful activity and education schedule for a kid is extremely complicated, full of subtlety, attacked from all angles, and time consuming. This is not something that most people understand or have the agency required to accomplish. I'm afraid that the net result for our society at large will be dire.
I own my house outright. It is one of nine homes in a small HOA in Miami FL that are worth about $400k to $450k. There are two rented for $3,500 per month wich sounds insaine considering the property value.
no offence taken. I personally consider the pushing back against what is in essence a completely wastefull, invasive, and ineffective use of my tax dollars a worthwhile endeavor. I dont think you realize just how harmfull the TSA's tactics are to the USA and it's citizens. By spending massive amounts of money on what every single security expert knows is nothing more than security theatre, they are not spending it on genuine security measures. That along with the erosion of freedom they represent is not something I will allow to happen in my name and to me with indifference. As far as my nakedness is concerned, I dont care. In fact, I fully plan on taking off all my clothing except my boxers should they try to force me into the machine.
In most states an unwanted, intentional touch or strike constitutes a felony assault. This is why they bring over a LEO when you say you do not wish to be touched.
The airlines are completely responsible for security on their airplanes, they have a choice to delegate to the TSA or hire their own firm.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
"Private screening did not disappear under the TSA, which allows airports to opt out of federal screening and hire firms to do the job instead. Such firms must still get TSA approval under its Screening Partnership Program (SPP) and follow TSA procedures.[5] Among the U.S. airports with privately operated checkpoints are San Francisco International Airport; Kansas City International Airport; Greater Rochester International Airport; Tupelo Regional Airport; Key West International Airport; Charles M. Schulz â" Sonoma County Airport; and Jackson Hole Airport.[6][7]"
You are several thousand times more likely to die from slipping in the shower than from terrorism so why are we wasting so much time, money, and humanity on this?
I'm with you. I have been opting out since day one. Should I be required I will simply, and calmly refuse. If they do not allow me and my family to board then I will demand a refund from the airline since I agreed to a screening but not an irradiated, 95% failure rate one. They will have to issue a refund or book me on a later flight. If not, I will issue a chargeback on my card and sue them and the TSA, and FAA, for any damages. If enough of us stand up there is a chance, if everyone continues to be spineless sheep then we are screwed. Disney just installed metal detectors at parks, work that one out and you will see where we are headed as a society. Stand the hell up for yourself and others!
Are you aware of the danger of a simple mechanical failure? These are raster machines so they scan you by bombarding you with a paper thin plane beam than pans down your body. If that beam stops, even for a few seconds then it would irradiate the cells along that plane with a massive dose. Not "pseudo science".
Don't look now, but the US is well on it's way to becoming a "3rd world shithole". Just research a little about what actually killed Ecuador's economy and you will find it was the government "printing" so much money that it became, borderline, worthless. We are doing it at $700 blillion increments. Judging from your post, you won't know what the word research is nor would you ever grasp anything relating to monetary devaluation./trollbait
I was amazed by the wording of some of the proposed amendments to the Florida constitution. One example was the marriage "keep the gays from marrying" proposal. First off, I happen to believe that marriage is a personal issue and has no need for government intervention but that is not my point here. The language was worded very biased, in that it started by stating that passing this amendment would "Protect marriage". As if I voted not my wife would someone stop loving me tomorrow or something. Second, it was the only amendment that ended with an entire paragraph dedicated to informing us voters that if we pass this the economic effect on the budget is "unknown at this time but likely minimal". This was on no other initiative. Holy bias Batman!
In Florida, you are now required to take a $250 "safety" course to get a motorcycle drivers license when you are the only one that will probably get hurt if you go down.
They should reduce that 'processing fee' to zero dollars, if you volunteer to become an organ donor. Of course, to earn the special 'organ donor' status the rider should be required to motorcycle without a helmet.
Great idea! I would go for that law, so long as it has a stipulation that allows us to shot anyone text messaging or applying makeup while driving. I'm no hypocrite so I would have the law only allow the pulling out of the gun and firing while stopped at a light or a stop sign.
Well, people on motorbikes statistically break the speed limit more
If every motorcycle ever driven since the dawn of time was breaking the speed limit every single time it was actually in motion there would still be more cars breaking the speed limit "statistically". Four out of six people who quote self serving statistics loose their genitalia due to wombat rabies. See, I can do it too.
and motorbikes have a history of association with gangs,
I love this one. A few simple answers:
1. Yes.
2. Undeserved and media generated.
3. This is relevant to the thread why?
and a motorbike can cause as much damage to a pedestrian as a car.
So can a 747-700 plummeting from the sky but how is that relevant? Or is your argument that "both a car and a motorcycle can kill a pedestrian so that is why a motorcycle needs a safety training course and a car does not" If that is it your subtle ways are beyond my feeble mind and I bow down to your logic, oh mighty one.
You can only get so dead.
Unless I'm mistaken there is dead and then there is mostly dead. Dead Dead and there is nothing you can do but with mostly dead you can take a big chocolate covered pill and then save a princess. Sweet! this replying without any regards to reality, logic and context is fun!
So basically, our phones would be handing out information about what we are currently doing. Next time I want to rob someone, All I need to do is get their phone number and continually call them. As long as I get the message that they are in motion I know that I am still in the clear. I'm sure you deviant bastiaches can come up with other exploits possible. As for the "in case of emergency press 1", what makes you think that everyone would not simply send messages as emergencies every single time.
You can't outlaw the tool, you must outlaw the dangerous behavior. It is completely stupid and backwards. It is illegal to drive without a seat belt (the only one that gets screwed is you) but it is completely legal to drive while discussing your bleak life with your pimp while driving down the street at 75mph and applying mascara. In Florida, you are now required to take a $250 "safety" course to get a motorcycle drivers license when you are the only one that will probably get hurt if you go down. A car driving license, on the other hand, is given to anyone who can pass an amazingly simplistic test and can't even read road signs written in english. That is right, if you don't speak a single word of english you can get a license here in Miami. Before anyone cries "Racist!" I was born in South America.
Laws are not written by logic and adherence to the Constitution, but rather by who can either make the politicians believe they sway the most votes (the spanish speakers in Miami) or by those who pay them the most money (the insurance companies)./steps off soap box
You are looking at it the wrong way. What in the Constitution would give the Government the power to regulate where and when I can use my cell phone?
Where in the constitution does it give the government the power to regulate when and where you wear a seat belt? Or for that matter, require a license to drive a car. Or for that matter tax your income?
Fact:
I have never met someone that does not do drugs because they are illegal.
Fact:
I do not do drugs quite simply because the risk/reward ratio is not appealing to me. And by risk I mean health risk not jail risk.
Full disclosure, I race offroad and supersport motorcycles. In that case risk/reward works out for me.
Note to self (I live in Miami)
I wonder what the range of my paintball gun is when fired stright up?
It is policy at many of my clients IT departments (i'm a data architect) to destroy old HDs. The data however is never, never, never destroyed and is simply moved to another medium.
Once again. There are people that have been convicted of child pornography with ZERO evidence beyond the files on their computer. I'm not sure I can make it any clearer than that. I'm not talking about the raid, although I believe this will end up as entrapment. (maybe not now after the abolition of our bill of rights).
Every single point you made can be done by someone else at your computer. Someone else on your wifi. Someone elses trojan on your computer. That is our point. Not that masturbating to images of little kids is good for the soul

Simply put. Your biometric data can not be revoked. Every other form of ID, if compromised, can be changed. Not biometric.
