At 10:45 a.m. defendant Officer Christopher Worley (HPD) contacted plaintiff Anthony Mitchell via his telephone. Worley told plaintiff that police needed to occupy his home in order to gain a "tactical advantage" against the occupant of the neighboring house. Anthony Mitchell told the officer that he did not want to become involved and that he did not want police to enter his residence. Although Worley continued to insist that plaintiff should leave his residence, plaintiff clearly explained that he did not intend to leave his home or to allow police to occupy his home. Worley then ended the phone call.
It ended up with the homeowner's front door being compromised, him being beaten, and he and his cowering dog being hit with pepperballs.
There was no astronomical definition for "planet" at the time. Nationalism had nothing to do with it. I'm sure just about any nation is pleased when their scientists make discoveries, and with the knowledge at the time and high popularity of astronomy with the public the response was to be expected. You're looking at this through the lens of a modern elitist.
We're trying to force leftists such as you to either draw the line, or acknowledge that no line should be drawn and personal liberty must be preserved over the fallacious idea of the benevolent dictatorship.
Thanks for the straw man, but a pistol in the hands of a skinny octogenarian works quite well against a 250 pound robber as well. Guns are not alive and have no morals.
Just like a certain US Vice President I won't name* who suggested emptying both barrels of a shotgun into the door when threatened by an intruder, thus violating firearm safety rules and possibly committing murder by not identifying the target and leaving oneself unarmed by expending the ammunition in one shot.
India seemed to do pretty well with passive resistance against the UK.
The government can overwhelm some of us for a time but it can't handle all of us forever.
So a well-armed populace won't be any help overwhelming the government? The situation in India was with a nation rejecting an overseas power. The UK was a weary empire, and passive resistance was the appropriate response to them. Passive resistance is not going to work in the USA, against the Federal government.
Your little personal firearms don't stand a chance against the military or even the police really.
Any police department can be subdued, even with their urban tanks and full-auto weapons. They are not properly trained to handle insurgency. And perhaps we should be raising the question as to why our government doesn't allow us to have anti-tank weapons and full-auto firearms but to prevent insurgency. If we had these weapons stockpiled by well-regulated militias, we wouldn't have to keep hearing this ironic "you can't stop a tank with your hunting rifle" screed from the left.
In a civilised country the populace shouldn't feel that they need to carry a weapon when walking the streets to be safe.
OK, whatever. Not everyone lives in a tidy little city where there are ample, well-trained, non-corrupt police and a moral populace. And the government doesn't get to choose what I "need to" do.
You're not in the same boat, because you support yourself and rely on no one. You chose to live a minimalist lifestyle, and I greatly respect that. I have a friend who works fairly menial jobs, but works efficiently and thus has time for his music, socializing and charitable work. The person you responded to is leaning on society, expecting the same people he despises to support him.
So I refuse to participate in a situation that is not only apathetic toward my well-being, but actively, maliciously, greedily abusive of me.
So you allow your family-- and society, through our high taxation and socialist governments-- to work hard while you greedily consume the fruit of their efforts? I read your entire post, searching in vain for some sign this was a troll post rather than an actual narcissist screed. Indeed, I know people who don't have great jobs, but this doesn't bother them because they work to live, not live to work. They are content spending the rest of their time being creative and helping other people. I am sorry that you are crippled by your mental issues, but placing the blame on society will never help you recover.
Maybe they should learn how to save their money for the summer instead, because teachers' salaries at every level are higher than those in IT in my area. A brand new, 22 year old teacher starts at $46K for a contractual 190 days of work. That's a good start for a rookie, not to mention that they get health insurance that they only pay 10% of the premium for. They get 75% of their costs for graduate school reimbursed. They also get paid $33/hr to teach summer school.

Like a police department? There are a lot of guns there.

* but his name rhymes with hidin'.

Sempron, Celeron?
And if you have only 512 MB of RAM, you don't have an older machine-- you have an OLD machine!
I don't know why everyone doesn't just invent false statistics in an attempt to bolster their totally baseless statements.

Both also result in a huge release of methane and boiling hot, liquefied matter. The similarities are amazing!
Not a Verizon fan, but as long as there is still copper to the premises the POTS regulations still apply.
So we're going to follow it up with another hasty and ill-conceived decision.
That's funny-- the anti-capitalists keep telling us that doesn't work for private companies, and criticize companies for their high-paid CEOs.
I think few execs in universities were brought there for their frugality.
Popmoney does this. No link so I won't be accused of spamming.
There's nothing in your post that is inferior or unavailable in the USA, except perhaps 100% signal strength "in any town of any significance."

The issue isn't the policy; it's the union's bad advice. Very bad.
Why? The end result is still poverty, and instead of the "fat cat" being an entrepreneur or executive it's a union boss.
So instead of having part of your paycheck go to withdrawal fees, it can go to dues?

I'd go with LinuxDesktopWorld myself. I hear next year will be the year it finally takes off!
So is the front page.
