The common-law crime of perjury is now governed by both state and federal laws. In addition, the Model Penal Code, which has been adopted in some form by many states and promulgated by the Commission on Uniform State Laws, also sets forth the following basic elements for the crime of perjury: (1) a false statement is made under oath or equivalent affirmation during a judicial proceeding; (2) the statement must be material or relevant to the proceeding; and (3) the witness must have the Specific Intent to deceive.
The reason for this should be obvious: so the state cannot turn a prosecution into an open-ended fishing expedition, a la Ken Starr. Okay, so it looks like you might be innocent of meth possession, so we'll ask you how much you weigh, and charge you with perjury if you give what we say is a false statement. Or if you've ever been in a fight. Or if you've bought porn. Or if you've ever cheated on your taxes. None of which has anything to do with what the suspected crime was in the first place.
Can you not be willfully obtuse? Point was perfectly clear the first time: go ahead and be an asshole organization, just don't expect the rest of society to keep giving you special status a la tax-exemption.
also the irony
Get a dictionary.
while at the same time insulting me and about 1/2 the country
Can you not be willfully stupid? If racial smears were being used to attack other racial smears, you might have a point. But they weren't, so you don't.
Threatening to take away their non profit status or threatening to do X.
Cry me a river. This is exactly the same sort of nonsense that right wing christofascist pastors engage in when they complain that they can't tell people who to vote for from the pulpit. Go ahead and do it, Sparky, just start filing your taxes.
I am of native descent.
Doubt it. If you are, it's as embarrassing as a privileged person of african descent saying that Jim Crow was no big deal.
National parks, PBS, National Endowment for the Arts, etc.
None of which are for-profit interests, and PBS isn't known for extracting hundreds of millions from the taxpayers of, say, Boston, only to turn around and tell the people of Boston that they can't watch the TV programming they paid for.
...a second time after first paying for the stadium that the billion-dollar business is playing in. Fuck that. Taxpayers should be getting into the arena they paid for for free, much less not have to deal with blackouts.
The founding fathers did very well in designing what Socrates envisioned as a perfect Government 2,600 years ago.
The FF were a bunch of elitist fucks that protected their own business interests in breaking away from England. Retaining slaves and protecting their business contracts, and did as much as possible to prevent the "mob" from having any real say in how they were governed. Electoral College, no direct election of senators, and to even vote for the House, you had to own property. And generally be white and male.
Those high priced tickets are essentially their own untraceable money that they can print at will.
Until it's April 15th, and it's time to write off a few hundred thousand on their taxes as charity or a business expense. Like how Microsoft gives away "millions" in software to schools.
They can talk "free market" when they pay for their own stadiums and reimburse their training/recruiting programs, I mean universities and highs schools, for the millions they spend on football.
Perjury is saying demonstrably false things in court relevant to the case at hand. If the prosecutor asks you if you watch porn while prosecuting you for marijuana possession, it's not perjury if you lie because it's not relevant.
I figured the response to this would have been partisan butthurt, just not something this lazy. How is MM a racist, etc.
So you agree with Rush that communists are the voice of the Left?
So you're a wingnut that wouldn't know a real leftist if he came up and slapped you in the face while singing Le IInternationale? Today's elected Democrats are to the right of today's Republican voters on just about any issue you can name.
So it's thinner once the case is on, obviously. Compare a regular iPad (1/2/3/4) with an iPad Air, with cases on, and see if you don't notice the difference.
That would be like thinking all liberals are like Michael Moore or all conservatives are like Rush Limbaugh.
Why are those two always equated? Is MM a racist hypocritical drug addicted hack that shills and lies for a living? No. You'd have to find some cokehead at Korean Central Television to someone on the left that's equivalent to Rush.
That's just your problem - I am reading your post and responding to it.
No large tech company has gone beyond Apple
And the dissonance: so Apple is better than everybody else, yet Apple is the only company you're castigating for what every electronics company does: contract their manufacturing to Foxconn.
You're not responding to the problems with your argument.
Your original complaint was that Scotland couldn't start off without it's "share" of debt, remember? That Scotland would still be tied 18 different ways at the hip to what remained of the UK? And - again - there's the fact that Scotland wouldn't end up as another Greece or Spain because they have most of the UK's natural resources, chiefly the oil-rich North Sea.
Did you even read the article?!? No, the claimed goal of "equal pay for equal work" is still not with us.
Did you??? The whole damn point was that the pay is the same - or even more - when you're actually looking for equal pay for equal work, instead of equal pay regardless of position or education or hours worked on the job.
Before getting to articles, did you read the first and second sentences in a three sentence post?
The classic "wage gap" complaint has always been based on ignoring the "hours worked" gap. Men work most overtime hours, whereas women hold most part time jobs.
If you're a woman, would you expect to earn more at a full-time job than a man working part-time? Of course you would.
If you're a woman, would you expect to earn more than a man if you work overtime while he works 9 to 5? Of course you would.
Of course, now you have your "wage gap", which in reality is a "work gap".
So, did you read just one paragraph and miss out the rest of the article?
Did you? It's comparing equal pay for equal work and education.
Evidence. The classic "wage gap" complaint has always been based on ignoring the "hours worked" gap. Men work most overtime hours, whereas women hold most part time jobs. So in reality, the claimed goal of "equal pay for equal work" has been with us for quite some time.

Which billion-dollar business is using that name? Bueller? Bueller?

You mean the greatest Hatorade orgy until Bendghazi? All navigation services have errors, but you didn't see people crying at Google.
There are liberals, and then there are liberals.
Like Clinton, he gets a lot of hate from the right despite pushing a right wing agenda:
Killed single payer health care, which passed three times under Arnie
Opposed a serious increase in the minimum wage
Opposes marijuana legalization
And that's off the top of my head. I'm sure someone who lives there could come up with more stuff.

Not if she's working the same hours and has the same experience, she's not. Men get paid more because they work more.
