Since I like crushing willful ignorance one poster at a time, I'd like to point out to SuricouRaven that American football began with no passing game and more points awarded to field goals than touchdowns, which made the kicking game more important. Also, the ball could be snapped with the foot ("heeling") in addition to the hand. The names of games don't change just because their rules do.
A likely non-expert, the original poster, gave one obvious thing they could have done: ask the neighbors if they'd seen anything. Heck, one of the neighbors could have done it, and accidentally given that away while speaking with the cop. We can't allow our police to decide which laws are worth enforcing. The people have a right to their property, and if the police won't help protect it then the people are going to take that task into their own hands-- and it won't be pretty.
Microsoft spent 20 years trying to remove all the desktop icons that were a legacy of Windows Program Manager, putting them into menus. Once that was accomplished, they put all the icons back on a "start screen" and removed the menus.
Yep, that's why when something is no longer scarce, the non-scarce item has to be made artificially scarce to keep the item in the system, or it would break the system.
This is a socialist idea. Socialists do things like mandate a price for milk so that farmers keep making lots of it. In the free market, the product's price drops and, if it thus becomes unprofitable, less is produced and the price will rise again if demand continues.
That's why the system assumes that everyone in it is a rational actor omniscient of all publicly available information. Because "Human" is just short for "Vulcans absorbed by the Borg collective."
Socialism also assumes that everyone in government is a rational actor omniscient of all publicly available information.
The problem is that is also a half-lie. The preexisting condition mandate only applies if you maintain coverage. The millions of people who have been kicked into the exchange will lose their coverage of preexisting conditions if they do not buy a new plan by Jan 1st... and the current condition of the web site and phone system indicates a large number won't be able to.
Also, it's definitely good for Big Business. You didn't notice that several insurance companies and pharmas were lobbying FOR the ACA?
I'm not an expert, but in no US state I've lived in do you end up with points on your license if your vehicle experienced a mechanical failure. If a cop's dumb enough to cite you, feel free to challenge it in traffic court. Now, if your vehicle doesn't meet the inspection requirements (expired sticker, obvious lack of maintenance like bald tires), that's different.
Just to clarify, this is a total of $37 billion. It's hard for folks who will be spending half of their income on "affordable" health care next year to sympathize.
I agree except for the "good" part. Try "lulz". Anonymous is an army of vainglorious narcissists without any real sense of what person freedom really is.
In this particular case, it was the states themselves that "federalized" the power -- only 14 of the 50* [bloomberg.com] decided to set up their own exchanges, the rest decided it best to leave it to the feds for one reason or another
Because the federal government gives them money only to start it up; then they're left on the hook for all eternity. It's also a funny thing to impose a mandate upon citizens of a state, then pretend that letting them set up their own exchanges if they'd like to is an acknowledgment of states' rights when it's quite the opposite. Refusing to participate in the oppressive federal government's plans is the assertive position.
Dude, the patient didn't DRIVE HIMSELF to the hospital. Any medical professional who decides to triage based on whether the patient arrived in the back seat of a private vehicle or the back of an ambulance should never work again.
Or, more seriously, shoots at it. My wife was an EMT in a northern New Jersey city (and not even the WORST northern New Jersey city, mind you), and gangs would shoot at the ambulances if they though a rival gang member was aboard.
The problem is that the millennials, and some of my fellow Gen-Xers, established early on that if you disagree with Obama you're a racist, and if you disagree with Democrats in general you hate poor people. So now they've backed themselves into a corner: they'd like to criticize the regime in the hopes of making a positive change, but by their own rules they would be racist elitists.

I refuse to believe that women are as intellectually shallow as you suggest.

Yup. I learned REXX with her book.

People used the cheapest 3-pack tapes back then and acted surprised when they failed. I mean, they sounded terrible with music... what did you expect?
You forget, AC, that we are surrounded by liquid hot MAG-MA.
No, it's still criminal fraud. Ever hear of Bernie Madoff?

Stop spreading partisan lies.
Even if what you said was accurate, at least we have the ability to use arms to take those rights back.
Correction: the US government can't build a web site. US companies build web sites all the time.

You base the success of a company on whether it uses free software? You just dismissed a lot of companies that sell network hardware.

I totally kicked ass with that on my Atari.
What if I told you, that these aren't the droids you're looking for?
You just poisoned the well and expected that to be accepted as a rebuttal?

Of course, the actual law has little to do with whether a police officer decides to arrest you or not.
