This also happens in China, where life is considerably cheaper than in the US. I am sure that there are people who do transplants from unwilling victims for the super-rich but it would not large market and in the scale of crimes people should pay attention too it is not even in the radar.
Your right morality does not work that way, you don't go critize someone else for actions that you are unwilling to do yourself. You set the example of what others should be doing.
I do not see them making a big stink of stuff that are real crimes like child labor, human rights and corrupt government officials which are worse and more directly affect peoples lives. If the issue of human rights is such a big deal they should not be treating China with MFT status, they should wit
This was a dog and pony show for some politician to say I am paying attentioning without having to really do anything.
Ah yes, it is those EVIL tech companies support the EVIL chinese regime by following the law and not the US government which has given them the Most Favored Trade Status with the US.
I am sure that Google and Microsoft has 6 year-olds writing toiling in basements writing the next version of Office or Internet explorer and Google search engine. They would be too busy coding to be working in a sweat-shop factory sewing clothes 16 hours a day in inhumane conditions.
No sir, It is those tech companies turning a blind eye to everything going on...
Between a 100 foot wall at the border and global warming melting the polar ice caps, I am sure that this situation will take care of Floride soon enough...
Or would you want us to leave, then be asked to come back?
Yes, I would suggest leaving and coming back later. Just because the INC has asked us to stay means that Iraq, has a government or even law and order. They have a long way to go to get their country straightened out and we cannot really help them until they do.
By that I mean, what kind of man walks away from a problem he created to leave others to deal with?
I understand what you are trying to say, however they are some problems with this. To use your bar fight analogy, we are trying to fix up the bar while the bar fight is still going on. You cannot fix it because the situation is still a mess and is only going to get worse.
The US screwed up the situation in Iraq, but we are not in a position to fix it. Iraqis have to figure what they want to do and where they want to go, we cannot help them do that and the US has a significant budget crisis, we cannot afford to spend billions of dollars in Iraq when we cannot even fund an effective cleanup of New Orleans.
It takes a tough man to make tough decisions and in this case pulling out of Iraq almost completely is one of those tough decisions but it is the right one because we are not in a position to help them, at least not yet. When Iraqis decide they want our help they will ask for it, we cannot force it down their throats by pure force of will and large amounts of money.
Maybe this is an example of why I'm not a scientist, but doesn't that prove the connection?
This is a great example of a biased study. If we asked Slashdot, how many people use Linux and 25% say they are, does that 25% of the world is using Linux? No, it means the people you are asking are in a biased (weighted in one direction) group.
This reminds me a of a Simpsons episode were Lisa Simpson steals all the Teachers Editions of the school books. Without the teachers editions, none of the teachers had any answers.
The point? As a teacher who is dependent upon a book to give them the answers is not really much of a teacher; neither is a journalist that does learn the facts about what they are reporting. Readers do expect them to be experts but we certainly do not expect them to be totally dependent upon sources of dubious value or insight.

Monad turns the command line into an object oriented environment where instead of having to do error prone parsing through text piped though app after app, you treat the output from one app as one or more.NET objects on which you can execute methods, examine properties, and pass them to other applications for further processing.
This is, in fact, far ahead of anything currently available on Unix or Windows.
You mean like Perl? People treating a OO language like the second-coming of Christ. Geesh, shit worked without being totally OO. Perl is great language and it has been doing what you just described since 1987 which is far earlier than.NET
the area has been labeled to be harboring terrorists. Then GPS will work, but only for bunker busting bombs or anything else that can be used to kill someone from the air...

Obviously the Slashdot Spell Checker program met its fate early on on the Game Grid.
You meant to say, "Someone call the RIAA/MPAA!"
In any situation which one party has vastly superior authority and little chance of penalized. Don't expect them to act in a reasonable manner.
I would write a lengthy reply but my arthritis is bothering me... How it pains me to be 34!

Any student could have told you this,
Time slows to a crawl whenever the class is boring, tedious and generally uninteresting. Conversing time speeds up for anything fun or interesting.
No way, a real accomplishment would be properly spelling competition instead of comeptition.
I know Taco is not as concerned about spelling and grammer, but this is really obvious and it is a primary link, so it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Does this explain why the US school system is so bad? Is it to prevent those people from being skilled enough to read and become terrorists?

Because it does not work when you have 10 or 20 different systems that get changed at different times and some you do not use regularly.
There were times I had not accessed a system for over 30 days and then when I need to get in the account was locked.
If you have only one account, no big deal but it is overwhelming when you a number of accounts and you cannot keep up.
