At Kent State the rifles were not supposed to have live ammo. The guardsmen were being stoned . Calling that a case of "front line troops will be willing and eager to fire" is severe distortion.
In the US, soldiers expect to be able to walk freely everywhere. In the US, not every person in the armed forces considers himself in combat 24 hours a day. If a soldier found himself vulnerable to attack everywhere but on base, alienated from friends and neighbors, he would be reconsidering his allegiances.
The American military is 1/2 of 1 per cent of the population, and the reserve is another 1/2 of 1 percent. If, as in the Revolutionary War, 1/3 of the people are willing to violently oppose the government, that's 1% of the population you're proposing would attack 33% of the population. It could not succeed.
Christian fundamentalists don't seem to push the limits of decent beavior because too many people accept part of their belief system and are anxious to protect the name "Christian". However, the egregious cases are easily found. There are the obvious things like burning of abortion clinics and murdering the doctor, and things that don't make the news like fervent Christians trying to get atheist coworkers fired (a very common occurrence.)
I doubt that there is any belief system that has not been (mis)used to hurt innocent people.
So Apple requires all the children to stop working and go to school, and requires the supplier to pay them their previous wages. That just does wonders for the affected supplier, who now has a huge incentive to close down and start up under a new name. Or just take their existing profits and run. Ignorance of economics does not imply immunity to its laws.
For a woman to succeed in science she has to work 3 time harder than a man, undergo 3 times as much critical scrutiny by a male dominated peer review and sweat 3 times harder about getting it right in the first place.
Please show me the woman who is working 180 hours a week.
It looks like there's an option to disable SELinux, which I consider a screaming pile of excrement. Previously, installing SELinux couldn't be prevented and disabling it caused the boot process to fail. I'm delighted that there's now an option to turn it off, if that works.
Too bad I rely absolutely on one computer, and can't afford the risk involved in a botched install of F18.
Not that I agree with that ledow idiot, but this isn't the US where you're allowed to kill people in other countries three years before you can buy a six pack. He's legal to buy alcohol in Quebec.
In the US you can buy condoms at any age, but in many places you can't legally buy porn until 18. It's just as relevant as your silly statement.
There are private roads, private fire protection, and private water companies. Many, perhaps most, local and state parks were donated by private owners. Most power companies are not government owned. Most of the internet is equipment owned by telephone and cable TV companies. Radio/broadcast spectrum is just there as a property of nature, and it is no way provided by the government, just made more difficult to use by the government. Currency exists independent of governments. Government education systems are markedly inferior to privately run schools. Labor laws are either superfluous or counterproductive. The FDA does not provide food or drugs, just makes them more expensive, or prohibits their use, all the while absorbing bribes on a mind-numbing scale. Privately owned companies (including those owned through stock) actually make food and drugs.
That covers everything except police and defense, which are provided by nearly all countries and thus do not qualify as distinguishing characteristics. Socialism is based on the proposition that the individual owns nothing by right. In fact, socialism is dedicated to wiping out the concept of the individual, as proclaimed by Ted Kennedy.
So if your presence is risking the viability of the whole company and the hundreds or thousands of people it employs, you think you should be able to keep your job. I'll throw at you the epithet I'm sure you were thinking of: you're SELFISH.
Companies prosper by making goods and selling them at a profit. Running inefficient, wasteful companies out of business is a side effect: but you obviously prefer the waste of effort and lives that an inferior company represents.
With the state of the US today, increased paricipation and awareness will be used to increase the amount of goodies grifted from Uncle Sugar. The individual should be founded in solid principles before being invited to mess in the affairs of others.
A diet consisting of meat, milk, and synthetic supplements can be used by some people for years at a time, but it is neither fatal nor the best option.

Each of these is rude and likely to provoke anger and violence. It's not good public policy to encourage people to misbehave.

The Confederacy actively courted the British to attack the northern states during the American Civil War. That's 148 to 152 years ago.
Burning of Washington, August 24, 1814.
Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941
Not true.
This is not desensitization. This is an open threat.
Butter knife. Clothesline and 2 dowels (garotte).

Calling the grasslands and deserts of the American west and midwest "deforested" is inaccurate. Those areas haven't been forested for millennia.

The absolute values of their IQs are the same. The only difference is Jobs' IQ is expressed with a positive number.
No, it should be in Hobbes.
I knew a woman who complained of sexual harassment when she was asked why she became an engineer. Some are just too sensitive.

Tell that to Fleischmann and Pons.

When you equate starvation with hunger, you eliminate all credibility for any of your statements. Stop saying stupid things if you want to persuade.
When was the last time a cow fetched your slippers?
Obama has admitted to eating dog. As far as I'm concerned, that puts him just the tiniest bit above a cannibal.
