The link does not back up your claims, the 500 deaths is for ALL overdoses of Acetaminophen and it says nothing about mixing it with opioids to deter addiction. However they did do something similar during alcohol prohibition with lethal results, mixing formaldehyde (or something similar) to things such as methylated spirits, to deter alcoholics from drinking it. The practice killed thousands of people who's only crime was addiction to an illegal drug. Alcohol is also one of the very few recreational drugs where sudden withdrawal can actually kill you, as opposed to (say) heroin which merely makes you feel like you're dying.
This may surprise you but world history cannot be acurately modeled by polarised US domestic politics.
Neither Hitler nor Stalin were socialists, they were both ruthless totalitarian dictators, what's more they were expert propogandists, so much so that the majority of their people worshiped them (particularly Stalin who set himself up as a demigod). They didn't disarm their people they gave them "inhumane" enemies, weapons, and 20 million graves. The Nazis found so many enemies that by the end of the war one in every two native germans had spent time in a Nazi prison.
Dictators cannot survive without the tacit support of the society they control. Dictatorial control is all about human phycology it has nothing to do with right/left politics, google "Stanford Prison expereriments" and realise that just like everybody else on the planet you also have a potential torturer/victim burried deep within your phyche. These natural human behaviours are waiting for the right environmental context to take over your thoughts and actions (Abu Graib is a recent example).
I see two problems in the US, the first is the overt and shrill propoganda coming from certain sections of the media, in a just society their manevolent lies would be a source of embarrasment but many people do exactly the opposite and swallow the ludicrous comparison of Bush/Obama to Hitler/Stalin. This serves to demonstrate how effective propoganda is in the US.
The second problem is the willingness of the US to lock up it's own citizens, it has the highest incarceration rate in the world, higher than China and 7X that of the EU. A very strong indication that the US is not listening to what their own research has been telling them for 40yrs.
But others have, it's an old canard, yes it's a factor for that site (the oldest continuous monitoring site), but nobody is relying on just that site, we are at ~400ppm global average across all sites. CO2 concentration varies by ~5ppm in sync with the northern seasons (deciduous trees are responsible) so there is some "wiggle room" in the numbers.
I'm pretty sure the cops will get all three of your "answers" from different sources. Schneier's point is obvious but not particularly sharp, sure it would be better to remove the haystack but to do that you must first find the needle.
Israel did not arise from a UN mandate, they won statehood by fighting a war of independence.
The Zionist movement declared itself to be an independent nation, that declaration triggered the 1948 war with neighboring states, Israel won. About a year after the war the UN had no real choice other than to recognize them as a state, (they had a functioning government and well defined borders). Before Israel's declaration of independence the league of nations (UN) had planned to partition the territories, the Zionists symbolically made their independence claim on the day the partition was due to come into force.
I don't know what the true situation is and probably never will, but I do know it has been personally pissing Putin off for years - remeber when he bit the head of Dell's CEO at a press conference for saying that Dell could "help russia"? He went on the attack, saying "Russia doesn't need help with computers" and then started rattling off the impressive history and achivements of Russia's home grown computer industry. Putin may not be everyone's idea of a great leader but he has certainly restored some of russia's national self-respect after the economically devastating collapse of the Soviet Union.
Just for the record, do you actually have any kids? - My grandfather instincts say you don't, or perhaps you just incredibly self-centered and lack empathy for the mother of your children?
Men and women are not equal in the baby thing, for an obvious example, men have no difficulty walking during the last month or two of pregnancy. Nature discriminates against the woman in the baby thing, men simply don't need several months of paid leave to watch their new born eat, shit and sleep (they do little else for the first 3 months). Maternity leave attempts to correct nature's discriminatory ways by equalizing the financial/career repercussions of having a child, ie: the woman does not lose her job to a man simply because she is bearing a child. You seem to think it is a holiday that women get and men don't, if that's the case then you have missed the entire rational for maternity leave.

When my kids were born there was no such thing as maternity leave, normal behavior was the woman would quit and the man would take a few days annual leave. I can see that it is unfair to force the woman to quit rather than go on extended leave. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I'm not sure why men would need 8 weeks paid leave just because they became a dad to a healthy new born, one week for men and 3 months for women sounds "fair" to me. It would also be fair if society used the tax system to assist small companies who often don't have the ability to support paid maternity leave..
If done properly it can also be carbon negative since some of carbon that was headed back to the biosphere as methane/CO2 can be sequestered by burrying what's left of the burnt shit. Since the carbon tax was introduced in Australia pig farmers have become more interested in the technology.
The fax machine suffered badly from the same problem, they were invented in the 1930's, they did not become popular until the 1980's when manufacturer's agreed on a standard comms protocol allowing any fax machine to talk to any other fax machine. With the fax, not "playing nice" prevented the emergence of a new market for over half a century.
While I agree the US MSM are pathetic I got 36,000+ hits on google news searching on "Tsarnaev" and "Saudi", I read about it last week from Australia, I'm not even that interested in the story so it's hardly a fucking secret.
The factory fitted Bose system that came with my car (2004 Mazda 6 sports) is nothing short of fucking awesome, I don't give a flying fuck what audiophiles think about it because at the end of the day music is an emotional experience not a technical one.
I'm a bit of a "lefty", I see the libitarians in the same light as the flower power crowd of my youth, the libitarians and not all free love and peace but their core philosophical assumption stated in its simplest from is the same as that of a "flower child", ie: people will "play nice"if you remove the umpire. The problem of course, is that all available evidence from the last few millenia points to the opposite outcome.

Stop looking for certainty, it doesn't exist in the real world, people who say it's false do so for the same reason I say unicorns don't exist.
It's demonstrating a nerd is wrong and watching his head explode, from a distance.
Like molasses through an hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
Were you trained to be an art snob or is it a natural talent?
Now THAT is something I'd never considered!

What's the matter, facts getting in the way of your ideological fiction?
This whole car stealing thread is OT, according to TFA the guy "stole the key" while he was "working at the owners house".
He did not say it was their fault, he said they might have deserved it. Are you unable to read and parse English?
I'm curious, by what moral logic does someone "deserve" to lose $90k because of something that was NOT their fault?
Hack into their computer. /jk

Yes, both sides want to kill each other, that's the problem in a nutshell.

Nah, it's clearly pot meets kettle.
