The paper doesn't support you. True, there is a high percentage of genetic defects. Defects that are found in the normal population (or they die before birth like the clones). But, that's all they are, defects. Those that live are animals. There is nothing about their genome that is dangerous to humans.
"Your right to walk the streets unmolested by the police outweighs my right not to get blown up."
You realize that's only an opinion, right? Some people who are quite intelligent and reasonable can and do hold that the view expressed is wrong and feel that your right not to be murdered outweighs their right to not be 'molested'.
Not lies and propaganda. These incidents are occurring daily. Theo was a film maker. His media of debate was film. He had every right to ignore the 'protests' of 'moderates and ordinary Muslims'. Then he was murdered -- not debated with. There are also a dozen or more journalists who have been murdered.
Don't try to pretend someone pointing out the death threats is saying each and every Muslim does this, you're twisting words to cover the true beasts. The fundamentalist imams and their followers.
As one comment notes, you cannot concentrate ideas, being as how they can originate in any mind. Also, it is not necessary to choose widespread infringement or an extreme, but a more moderate position.
Or, you could just uncheapen and buy the things people offer or not and quit trying to extricate them for free.
Of course you have a choice. You can wander into our national forests and gather the herbs you think will help. You can pray for devine intervention. But you're right, to use the drugs developed by a company, you pretty much have to buy from the company.
Well, everything you wrote would be true sans one detail. Reality. The world does not work that way, and unless you come up with a model that works in the real world, your model is worthless.
Those authors have experimented, and are not doing it now, because it doesn't friggin' work. Been tried -- didn't work.
Also very nice of you to dismiss as worthless so much that you have no interest for. Perhaps you're not their market, eh?
"An approach that resulted in nothing being written without a market for it would result" in not a single new author selling anything ever again. How the hell do you think they break in? Publisher speculation.
Now try to tell a writer how they're going to get paid, when it will be perfectly legal to scan and post a book after sale number one. Once more, for the learning disabled; Copyright is not about money at all, it is about the author getting to decide how to distribute their work, not a bunch of I want it free'ers.
Simple. Your grandmother needs to start keeping very detailed records. She must prove to the IRS she didn't make $12K. I don't see the problem, other than her hobby became more detailed.
"The language we use when talking about these things very much matters."
That's correct. Which is why one must take into account waste and fraud at every step. That money is taken from the pockets of citizens and they have every right to expect it to be put to good, efficient use. Anyone arguing that waste shouldn't be cut needs to explain why.
It is the school's job to determine the cirriculum, not the student's. They are there to learn, not screw off. Again, anyone arguing that they be allowed to screw off needs to explain why.
Being free of adult 'surveillance' is what kids do the bulk of the time they're not at school. My heart bleeds that they need buckle down and study while there.
"And I would start my questions by asking about education and students, not taxpayers and waste."
Many employers have serious issues. That's not relevant to his observation. I can only assume then, that if I somehow convinced your employer you were unfit and he fired you, that would be OK?
I agree with you -- now, just point out the part of that 'offensive article' (and, I think you're lying when you say you've never seen one so offensive) which is a threat.
No, TFA clearly states that he states there is nothing on the tapes. His word is no good as this involves a felony. He wasn't censured, they weren't trying to prevent him from doing anything other than avoid testifying about a felony.
One thing you can say is: if this guy withstood 226 days of imprisonment and still didn't turn over the tapes, it seems pretty obvious that the court is taking extreme liberties with this guys personal freedoms, without producing results.
No. What you can say is it hasn't produced results. No extreme liberties were taken. He refused to comply with a testimony order and, like thousands before him, sat in jail awaiting the time he would or they decided they didn't need it any more for some reason. Perfectly legal as it was his choice to not cooperate with bringing felons to justice.
So, the dick spent time in jail rather than testify? Wow, join the club of 'journalists'.
There are a few states that grant journalists the right to cover up -- uh, not disclose -- information they have concerning a felony. The feds don't. This guy didn't want to give up asshats that torched a police car? Rot in jail.
Then, mayhap the rest of the free world (sans Au) might begin to act like freedom from tyranny is a shared concept instead of kowtowing each time a despot rattles a sabre?
Yeah, yeah. Term paper bad and plagerization undefeatable, so ditch the term paper and go back to having the instructor grade the student on their percieved abilities.

Um, no. Sabres have rattled there since there were sabres, the borders just gave another reason.
While true in substance, you're last paragraph is a little vague.
The paper doesn't support you. True, there is a high percentage of genetic defects. Defects that are found in the normal population (or they die before birth like the clones). But, that's all they are, defects. Those that live are animals. There is nothing about their genome that is dangerous to humans.
That is utter bullshit. Give a cite.

You're calling troll?

False dichotomy.

No, writers need copyright law so as to keep jerks from distributing their work free to a million and not earn a penny.
Now try to tell a writer how they're going to get paid, when it will be perfectly legal to scan and post a book after sale number one. Once more, for the learning disabled; Copyright is not about money at all, it is about the author getting to decide how to distribute their work, not a bunch of I want it free'ers.

The socialist and marxist rants.
Yes, they are the same. Casting the debate only in terms of the poor students lights up a bias as well, you know.
"The language we use when talking about these things very much matters."

"And I would start my questions by asking about education and students, not taxpayers and waste."
I would include all four in every discussion.
Many employers have serious issues. That's not relevant to his observation. I can only assume then, that if I somehow convinced your employer you were unfit and he fired you, that would be OK?
She didn't, dickweed. It was the poster of the death threat.
I agree with you -- now, just point out the part of that 'offensive article' (and, I think you're lying when you say you've never seen one so offensive) which is a threat.
No, it's not pedantry. It's called writing. You should look up pedantry since he actually displayed none.
"Common sense tells us that we have a government run amok."
Really? I don't think we do. You saying I have no common sense? Me? I think you're too paranoid which is affecting your commons sense.
"Private citizens should judge the law and resist injustice."
They should also not whine about the results. By the way, what 'injustice' was there in the authorities wanting to arrest the felons?
No, TFA clearly states that he states there is nothing on the tapes. His word is no good as this involves a felony. He wasn't censured, they weren't trying to prevent him from doing anything other than avoid testifying about a felony.
As a journalist the man has specially protected rights to free speech.
Only as long as he doesn't actively protect a crinimal, which is what the GJ is about. He (this guy) was a witness, not a defendant.
One thing you can say is: if this guy withstood 226 days of imprisonment and still didn't turn over the tapes, it seems pretty obvious that the court is taking extreme liberties with this guys personal freedoms, without producing results.
