I agree. Cell phones seem expensive until winter rolls around and you're paying $300-500/month to heat your house. Cable bills seem expensive until you realize that you pay double that in property tax for that public school system that has a 30% dropout rate, no arts programs and $750,000 superintendents.
Yes. Why is a small explosive a WMD but an assault rifle with multiple large magazines, which is much more deadly, is perfectly legal?
Only if you put it in the hands of a robot that keeps pulling the trigger (because full-auto weapons are essentially illegal in the USA) and is somehow able to empty and reload two or three 30 rounds mags in under a second.
He didn't, really, but since we allowed our overlords to call anything "terrorism" then there happens to be a catchall charge they're levying here... and it's a felony, of course.
Dunno. The elite are confusing me this week. They applaud the shutdown of Paula Deen, a financial and emotional supporter of Obama, because she may have said the "N-word" 20 years ago; but this is like the third time Baldwin has made a bigoted statement and he's still working. I guess it's because the President isn't in any of the groups he's attacked (yet).
SixTEEN, sevenTEEN, eighTEEN, nineTEEN...
Regardless, it's legal to discriminate against young people in the USA, so you're essentially treated as a child (unless you commit a crime, of course) until you're at least 21.
What a cretin you are. Since when is there a competition between natural rights? You leftists are just the kind who pick and choose which rights are acceptable. FWIW, if he is convicted of a felony, he won't be allowed to own a gun.
Your statement had two facets: the idea of poor working conditions (which is subjective; for the sake of argument we'll agree that Foxconn working conditions are unacceptable) and the idea of inferior compensation. I don't ever agree with poor working conditions (unless they're unavoidable and thus compensated). I do agree with greater compensation for greater responsibility. Don't you?
That might be why we already track those explosives quite closely. It doesn't matter if you have built your own Predator-- you'll have a hard time getting the C4 secretly.
That's the general problem with capitalism. People at the bottom of the hierarchy get the smallest compensation and the worst working conditions. As you go higher in the hierarchy, the reward is bigger and the conditions are better.
I don't understand. That's the definition of a hierarchy. Do you think that the entry-level people should have the best compensation, and as they gain responsibility their compensation should go down?
Or maybe we could infect politicians on the take from pharma companies with deadly diseases so the R&D departments would have to actually work on cures for diseases instead of drugs that alleviate symptoms while adding nasty side effects.

That's class A hypocrisy, then, because the entire state leans so far left that a gentle breeze could knock it into Karl Marx's lap.

They like Bob Saget even less than they like me...
So, like a penguin's cornhole, then?
Oh yeah, and he didn't support gay marriage a year ago...
He didn't, really, but since we allowed our overlords to call anything "terrorism" then there happens to be a catchall charge they're levying here... and it's a felony, of course.
That's an appeal to emotion, and thus an invalid argument.

It was probably a confiscated vehicle.

It must be the nutrition he gets from eating his foot skin.
"I guess I did OK, considering that the production staff already interviewed me and told Rick what I was willing to take."
I'm going to have to have them cleaned up, and framed, and get Romney's tax preparer to sign a certificate of authenticity.
... and the Stoned or Michelangelo virus on the disk.
Yeah, but he wants to see the text 3D-rendered at 100 fps... or jump in the hot tub with Roberta Williams, I'm not sure which.
But once we find the floppies, I'll have to find a floppy drive! And there are too many spiders in the attic!

They're just doing what the State tells them to do. As long as their products don't kill customers or poison their pets, they're in the clear.
Unemployed? It's state-planned China. They have to get them jobs. They'll probably move them all back to the farms they kidnapped them from, now.
They had better close up all the windows in the building. It will be really hazardous with all the shiny metal ROBOTS committing suicide now.
