No, we're thinking more of a car that can be disabled at any time by any cop, or a car that can be disabled in its garage so that you can't leave town. These are powers that can be abused, and can't be turned over to the state without great consideration of the consequences. All the lefties who are opposing the Arizona immigration law because of what cops COULD do should get this: but they won't because they're actually the opposite of "liberals" (thanks, FDR).
Flying cars would be more likely. How is a car going to keep you alive if you're T-boned by a rig running a light at 50 MPH? The physics don't add up. Their "zero fatality car" assumes that every vehicle on the road has these collision avoidance systems. I'm sure that they're hoping that the governments of the world will mandate such technology, raise taxes to cover the subsidies, and make Volvo rich.
It seems like all throughout the 20th century, whatever the young people found popular and entertaining at any given point was campaigned against by the older generations, especially in the US.
... they they wondered why kinds were hanging out on the streets and in front of the 7-11.
Ah, so we see Assange's true nature. He pretends to be a free information, "transparency" kind of guy, but he's really a vainglorious Chamberlain-style appeaser of dictators and terrorists.
Right... people are disappearing and starving to death in North Korea, and you're most concerned about "war crimes" in Afghanistan? Make sure that you imprison the leaders of all the countries who sent troops there. Oh yeah, and 99 out of 100 members of the Senate.
That the wars are not going well and that W wasn't taking the war seriously at all.
Obama is? He took three months to consider his general's report, then gave the man LESS than the MINIMUM number of troops the general asked for-- as if to claim that he somehow knew better.
My point is this: don't pin it on W. All of our leaders are rife with incompetence.
That got me too. She was looking for a color to denote a situation that warranted concern, and she thought of pink instead of yellow. Does she throw out the white flag when everything's a go? Must be color blind.
...and then the US District court can throw it out, because Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. I believe the 1972 copyright act would then apply here.
Now, combine this understanding with the fact that most copyrighted products generate most of their income in the first few years after publication, or even less, and you realise that a copyright term of more than a few years has no benefits to society. It almost exclusively does harm, by preventing values to be produced for free.
Can I summarize your entire post to, "We should return copyright protection in the USA to 14 years with a 14 year extension as in the 1790 Copyright Act"?
And yet, they wouldn't even be threatening us with anything if we'd left them the fuck alone instead of giving support to an insane man in order to oust a ruler who wouldn't give us the deal we wanted on oil.
He's threatening the entire world with his "Twelver" rhetoric. I don't think you can say that for sure. He'd still be threatening the "Little Satan", so I guess you oppose the Jewish homeland too, right?
Because Al Qaeda's terrorists were based in Afghanistan. Really, this isn't hard to find out even if you were born yesterday and somehow didn't know. You'd have been a great general in WWII; you would have been invading Vienna to get Hitler.
Everyone knows about the U.N. resolution following the Kuwait war and the faulty intelligence regarding WMDs. Please stop wasting our time.
Now go forth and mod me into oblivion for speaking my mind if you must. I have citations for every fact in this comment, and I have reasoning to back up my every argument.
Well, fortunately for you I have no mod points, because your claim that the "Bush family" was funneling money to the Nazi regime has no basis. Prescott Bush was a director for the bank owned by Fritz Thyssen, not an investor; there is no evidence he benefitted directly. In fact, there is no evidence of any Nazi involvement with that bank: Fritz Thyssen was in jail (jailed by the Nazis!) before and during the war.
We made Saddam powerful because we didn't like the politics of the Shah of Iran.
That's funny, because I thought we were backing the Shah and that's why the subsequent theocratic regime hated us so much.
I'd also like to hear your evidence for the following:
If you don't think that we've been involved with the majority of military coups in the places in which we are politically active, you're a total tool.
More recently, Halliburton was chosen as the only company which could be ready "in a timely fashion" (on a time scale invented from whole cloth) to rebuild Iraq based on some arbitrary selection criteria designed to disqualify all others.
You don't own any part of your land but the top. The rest belongs to the government. They can go in and look at their land any time they want. Look it up.
HAHAHAHAno... they may DO that, but they have no right to do so.
The GPP fails on grade-school Enlightenment studies. We have full rights from God, but we form governments in a social contract, to which we cede some power so that our essential rights are protected.

That could be fixed with a simple EULA-style disclaimer.

You do know that the recession has basically killed off that market, and Hummer is no more? 2001 called, they want their environut rhetoric back.
check...
check!
D'OH!

The one at Penn's Landing in Philly was fine, but I haven't been there in a couple of years.

Actually, dogs like smelly stuff.
So in other words, it's just like buying one of these comics-- or toys, or stamps, or Avon fragrance bottles-- and hoping it goes up in value.
Sounds like the USA Patriot Act is unconstitutional, then... isn't it?
This is a great analogy for anyone who understands the era of segregation.
He's threatening the entire world with his "Twelver" rhetoric. I don't think you can say that for sure. He'd still be threatening the "Little Satan", so I guess you oppose the Jewish homeland too, right?
Yeah... that's called a red herring. No thanks for playing.

Well, if you ask drinkypoo, the USA is always the bad guy so we should all be shooting ourselves.
