Compare that to something like Norway [businessinsider.com] which has one of the 'softest' prison systems and has no life imprisonment (technically, although with people like Brevik it's unlikely he will ever be let free, as they have to pass an assessment before release or the sentence can be continued, and even if he's ever released he'll probably be released into a mental institution)
Norway is cowardly. Claiming your term limit is 21 years, then codifying in law that it can be de facto extended indefinitely, would not pass muster under the US Constitution.
Most people believe God is real. It's of no concern to you unless it causes you harm. Not imaginary butthurt, like the kind that keeps you awake at night thinking that people out there dare to think differently from you.
You might enjoy puffing yourself up with imagined superiority, but in reality your life is small and meaningless if you use it to ridicule others.
There's no law that allows you to eat chocolate ice cream in your bedroom. You may do so because there's no law AGAINST it. So the question is whether any law prohibits this.
They are government workers, albeit local or country ones, so yes, there is a Constitutional argument that they don't have the authority to impersonate a corporation unless explicitly given that authority. Otherwise, we would also need to have laws explicitly saying they may NOT give random people wedgies, fart on people's heads, or steal their lunch money. Then again, they are pretty much allowed to shoot people for any reason now, so maybe you have a point.
If I applied an "[un]approved" PD decal to my white or black Charger or Crown Vic, do you think I'd be able to make a public statement on it and it would be dropped? Yet they're allowed to impersonate Google's car and get away with it.
The time to start removing the privileges of the police was 10 years ago. Now the entitlement has set in like MRSA.
Hopefully you were being sarcastic, because that's the point. If a bunch of people want to live together voluntarily and pool their resources (like the early Christians or the Hutterites) only a fool could protest their free exercise of liberty. But socialism as a political system requires high levels of taking at the barrel of a gun.
Only government bureaucrats can claim that a one-sentence change in law back in 2008 is obscure and recent... and get away with it.
Imagine if the law had been changed in the reverse. Do you think that in 2016, claiming the law was "abstruse" or "recent" would get the ticket thrown out?
Are we making the assumption that she has no legal team, and didn't ask for permission (which may not be necessary since fonts can't be copyrighted) from Google?
Indeed, it's that children have rights and parents exercise them on their behalf. The problem is that the left has been trying to shift that responsibility to the state for decades.
No one has explained how, if a parent is supposed to get the consent of their child, that they're supposed to prove that. Does one have to shoot some video asking their child if it's OK to post that infant bathtub photo?
Thanks for the vague and insulting rhetoric, AC. But secret minor abortions, while also arguably insane are not even relevant here. In this case, it's the parent taking action without obtaining the minor's consent.
I don't know about French law, but yes, here in the USA by definition a minor cannot consent to just about anything. Therefore, claiming that a parent needed their child's permission to post something is meaningless.
I live in Philadelphia, and there are vast stretches of the FM dial that are devoid of signal. If the third largest radio market has room for low power stations, it's likely nearly all of them do.
Do you even know if McDonalds is present in RURAL areas of China? Last I looked, they were in the cities. And I'd like to see your figures on the "Bad Sodas" usage. What are the "Good Sodas"? If you don't actually have any of this data (hint: you don't), then I suggest actually reading the study conveniently linked to this story. One point is that the study, for whatever reason, used a stricter BMI classification than the WHO. Apparently, the researchers thought they were smarter than the rest of the world. Sound familiar?
Speaking of "Bullshit people"... yeesh. Your post reads like the rambling of some soccer mom on Gwyneth Paltrow's facebook page.

Make sure you have them read their final statement after the room has been filled for maximum entertainment.

Atheists use gulags, concentration camps, and good ol' firing squads to kill innocents instead.

Yes, the USA is the worst nation on earth, except for all the other ones.
Where are those protesters who like to overturn police cars when one of these is discovered?

Well, think about it. Is there a better reason to give wealth to someone who didn't contribute other than, "because"?

That's funny, because the Federal Reserve was supposed to fix that back in 1919.
Progressives always have new ideas for fixing the problems they caused.
Leftist reasoning: there are FEW examples of moral self-interest in capitalism, so capitalism doesn't work.
There aren't ANY examples of moral oligarchs in planned economies, but that's because TRUE socialism hasn't been tried yet.
Virtual mod points for your insights, kind sir.

I didn't realize I had to swear off toilet paper. This is hardcore.
Yeah, that's not attainable for most people.
Umm... what does insurance have to do with it?
Beverly Crusher's medikit used a silver-spray-painted Radio Shack stereo microphone. I recognized it because I had one (still have it, actually).
Seems like this is for you.

Indeed.
The FCC has only one real use in this area: preventing interference.
False advertising? That's the FTC. How much advertising happens on pirate radio, anyway?
