A kid is SEVERAL THOUSAND times more likely to be sexually assaulted by a family friend than someone they meet over the internet.
All this rubbish about "on-line predators" is just an escape from the real issues, and real problems that face parents and kids in life.
Due to slowly decaying nuclear materials for a powersouce, the Voyager power supply has been producing less and less power over the years. One of the things the crew has had to do is turn systems off over time to keep the probe functioning.
You use the example of; "the round-up of Japanese-Americans during WWII"? haha... wow. Being Japanese and rounded up, held captive in the U.S. wasn't all that bad! (Considering)...
Try being a Jew in Europe. You would have been most likely rounded up and executed on the spot, gassed and/or burned, if you were held captive at all during that process.
If you're worried about being oppressed, you can always buy a rifle. It's much harder to "round people up" if they can shoot back.
Sure cause pirates use sails as apposed to engine-powered ships!
I've already gone ahead and bought myself a pirate flag that says "Surrender the Booty!"
I imagine that the majority of my pirate career would be sailing the high seas in search of booty... The bigger the booty the better! =D
Trespassing eh? Don't you know that's a crime?
Plus old people have to get up in the middle of the night and pee. Let's say he's in the bathroom, hears a clammer outside (you with your hammer) and then here comes gramps with his shotgun, or rifle, or old service pistol. You're on HIS PROPERTY with a tool that can be used to break-in, and even as a weapon. You're up to NO GOOD. He can legally shoot you. That's not good.
Why not play it safe and shoot the darned thing from a distance with a high powered BB gun? Least that's what I'd do. My neighbors leave me alone. Darned toot'n!
Not always. If a neighboring country (or force, or regime) has been trying to commit genocide to the race that you happen to belong to, you would support the "destruction of property" of their weapons, factories, and transportation systems, right?
No one has the right to violate your rights, so you'd support the defense of them, right?
If a grumpy old man is pestering the entire neighborhood with audio that infringes on the lives of all these people, why can't they destroy it? It's clear that they have already gone through every civil means possible to try to get the guy to stop.
A quick demostration of violent force in destroying the object from the start would have spared a lot of headaches, wasted police time, tax money, and most likely - this news.
The same amount of gravity is there, as before the earthquake. That has not and cannot change. What has changed is which direction (or as I called it, "vector") that the gravity is pulling.
As the vector changes, your one dimentional equipment for measuring gravity is sure to have a change in values. Go back to Highschool Trig.
Indeedly so...
I'm 25, and due to moderate use of medium and large caliber firearms with (what I can NOW tell you) what wasn't enough hearing protection; I'm practically hearing impared. I have to turn all my speakers and devices up to their 75%-100% volume settings to hear them. Phones are worse. I have to turn them up all the way and cram them into my ear and strain to hear 'em.
I have learned that being partically deaf has many advantages. I find it hard to hear small kids or gabbing teenage girls. The world is a quiet place. haha:D
My thoughts exactly!
As soon as I scanned over the numbers they were spewing out, I thought to my self; "hmmm, That's not possible!"
I don't think anybody proofread that thing. Of course, I suppose it really depends on where you take your measurements. Other than measuring the distance between the two farthest pieces of matter... What else can be considered universe?
Why has noone else pointed out that corals are extremely primative lifeforms?
Plus considering that the 'coral' that they leave behind grows at 1" per 100 years or so, how can that be measured to any accuracy or predictability in trends? with such a microscopic measurement, any inaccuracies or variables can create results astronomically off.
I don't care how old you are...
Plenty of lab or office settings have a female on board which can cause a sexual tension. This is why so many male fantisies involve a gal in a profession...
Such as; Nurse, Secretary, Business Woman, Waitress, French Maid. Need I say more? hahaha

In 1996, Obama said that he "supported banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns".
Every drop of water you have EVER drank has at one point, been pissed out by a dinosaur.
Drink up!
I have a tendancy to trust onhand literature, than an online community where anyone can change the facts.
Slashdotters give our opinions about a case before it has begun...
Alpha Centuri is about 10 light-years away.
Thus it would take 10 years, not 4.

Canada can't have a revolution. Remember they gave up thier gun right?
So what is Al Gore's solution to this problem?
To vote democrat? HA HA - like that ever solved a problem!!! =/
Did you know he drives a Cadilac Escalade to all his functions?
13 MPG. And he's certainly not transporting any cargo in it either!
Try the new Viking...
Kills 99.99% of all microbes!
That would only be the case if the state of California started to legislate stellar objects.
Best yet, how can anyone take the bible SO LITTERALLY, WORD-FOR-WORD, when it's been translated several times?
heh, Have you seen how much something looses its translation from one language to another?
Those arrested included a mother with a six week old baby.
What? Are you saying that terrorists don't have babies? Who else are they going to strap a backpack bomb on to go blow up a bus full of infidels?
Too bad snakes only attack when provoked or threatend. Other wise the movie would be realistic...

I have an Aussie friend... when New Zealand is mentioned, all he can talk about is "those @#$%s" and the dirty things that they do to thier sheep.

You missed my point entirely.
