  1. Re:And why not ? on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland · · Score: 1

    I don't like even having the mayor involved. What's wrong with having two witnesses, and perhaps a notarized document at the most? What if the mayor hates you and decides he doesn't want you to be married?

    Which is... anti-freedom. Where are the "marriage freedom" protestors in France?

  3. Freedom on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland · · Score: 1

    How about pressuring the Scottish government to relinquish its authority to regulate marriages at all? That's true freedom-- not stumping for one's own selfish agenda.

  4. Re:If this is true... on Declassified LBJ Tapes Accuse Richard Nixon of Treason · · Score: 1

    For the same reason Johnson first considered, then discarded the idea of running for reelection-- in case he decided to come out with this information. Besides deceit, he may simply have been wrong, being fed false information.

    Because using the draconian, despotic methods of the Roman empire is something we should do in the enlightened era.

    What you are calling for-- penalizing the family of the accused for his alleged crimes-- is highly illegal, and a despicable thing to consider in a modern area of democracy. I'm embarrassed that several backwards cretins moderated you up.

    Clinton himself sent all of two emails his entire administration.

    This is called "hearsay".

  9. Last time I checked, Twitter was alive and well when our diplomats were murdered in Libya and when the government told gun dealers to purposely sell to straw purchasers for violent Mexican drug lords. It hasn't forced change in the Obama administration; why would anyone expect it would have worked for Bush's?

    If you haven't figured out by now that Anonymous is a joke, then you might be on Slashdot.

    I'm curious to hear YOUR definition of humility. Really, I'd like to know.

    No they don't. If the judicial branch invalidates something in a treaty because of constitutional concerns, it's dead.

    I need proof text for your assertion that Jesus was "against money". Also, if Jesus was against power, then it follows that he would be against universal health care as a consolidation of government power. Charity comes from people, not government.

    While I will always obey the law, I will always resist immoral government authority, as government holds the power of life and death over our heads. Yes, even the ones that don't claim the power of capital punishment. The execution merely happens at the hands of law enforcement when compliance is not achieved.

    Sorry, but I don't see anything the Soviet Union ever excelled at in the scientific realm except weapons of war. And even those used technologies like vacuum tubes that were considered obsolete in the west because the USSR was not able to produce high quality semiconductors.

    Eldavojohn, you just used a lot of words to say the same as, "If you've seen one theist, you've seen them all." Yours is just a 9-paragraph "poisoning the well" fallacy.

  22. Re:These are not Women In Tech on Sheryl Sandberg and Technology's Female Leaders · · Score: 1

    You sound like an idiot who read two adjacent facts in a Wikipedia article and thought they were related. Hint: in 1998, most fledgling sites crashed a lot and many new CEOs reorganize as one of their first tasks. You should bone up on your research skills before you turn in that essay for 8th grade English next week.

    Corporations only have the power of a person because government made them that way. There's no problem created by the government that government won't claim it can fix.
