What responsibility must a woman fulfil to be granted the right not to be raped?
I'd have to check on what responsibilities a man has to fulfill in order for them to not be raped. They "should" be similar. When you say "right", you don't mean "guarantee", right? I don't think there's anything that can provide for that short of the deities coming back down to hold our hands and smite evil doers in the old school way.
As for the wording of rights versus privileges, my thought is the following: There isn't a huge amount of difference, only that the word privilege implies that it can be taken (or given) away more easily. In the US, we have many privileges that can be lost if we don't pay attention. How many articles has/. seen about the erosion of our "rights" due to things like the Patriot Act, EULAs and the like? It might just be my play on words, but I think looking at it in that way might provide some with a new perspective on the subject.
Rights are not "rights". They're privileges that we agree to bestow each other. The right to free speech is pretty easily circumvented by a baseball bat to the face. As for corporations, the question might not be "do they deserve this right" as much as "what responsibility will they take up with this"? The right/freedom to bear arms is carefully balanced against the responsibility to go shooting people randomly and such. That's why it'll always be a sensitive topic Americans. Why revoke a right for the many when only abused by the few?
Legoland news reports there has been an outbreak of head-on collisions involving penis buses. Authorities are baffled as to the cause. In other news, repairs on "Old Milky", our beloved front gate, have begun. Engineers hope to have the sagging issue solved with this latest round of improvements.
When selling to a non-tech person, though, such things make little difference. Most aren't savvy enough to know the difference and mostly look at the number of cores and speeds as final arbiters on performance. It's like explaining that while a motorcycle engine may have higher RPMs, a truck has more torque and can move big loads better. Hell, that's the simplest analogy I know for modern chip comparisons and it still goes over some people's heads.
Then, of course, is the SUV-that-never-goes-offroad-computing crowd that throw down big bucks so they can have 3D accelerated, multicore/non-multithreaded MS Spider Solitaire. God bless them.
I think the whole image of MJ as a child molester might make this place a bit too obvious for pedophiles to go and solicite from.
Ok, on to the jokes.
1) Children under 13 need to ditch their parents in order to enter.
2) The MJMMO, the only place where you're payed to play!
3) Blue young hottie needs Jesus juice badly...
That's not entirely true. Scientists have found that most creatures with radioactivity induced mutations take on an applewood bacon smoked flavor. The intensity of the flavor peaks when they start glowing, though.
I lived in one of those places while in the military. We were advised to not eat the local fresh veggies unless we could peel them. I think hepatitis was one of the concerns due to blood in the untreated sewage.
You did bring up an interesting point about the non-name items being removed. I overlooked that in the earlier post. I think some other stuff that might be taken out would be anything that indicates flaws in adversary security, maximum ranges on signal interception equipment and our mistakes that will point out what they're doing right.
Dear god... you were going to have me beat up by a lieutenant with a clue? Anybody in the military knows that they wouldn't know what to do with one of those.
But if there's something like that that does need to be kept secret, it should have to go through a fucking closed session of Congress and specifically be classified that way. No, not 'notify' half a dozen people, and threaten them if they tell anyone, the congress should actually vote on it, or decide to just tell everyone. Giving the damn branch of government, hell, the specific group that did it, the power to classify it, is utterly absurd. And it's doubly absurd to let them assert they have a right to keep it secret in court.
Of all the posting responders so far, you're the only one that proposed an alternative to the current system of classifying information. A discussion on the pros/cons and implementation methods of it would be fun. I'd love to see how we'd keep the politicians from utilizing the information for their own benefits (geopolitical information could make them lots of money, not to mention "hot button" issues for election years). Somebody please mod DavidTC here up.
Very true. I think I'm going to just have to default to the "it's in quotes" defense. I'd edit it to be "a small group of people", but... yeah. Slashdot edits, proofreading ftl >.>

Of course, but you do have to be mindful of splash damage.
Probably all of them. Were you thinking it should only apply to specific ones?
We need this in America, but bolt it onto our elected officials and non-elected public servants. You know, to monitor them for voyeurism and abuses.
Well, as long as they block the MAC/IP address and not just disable your account's access.

When that day comes, can we counter-sue for harassment when a song gets stuck in our heads? The alternative is very expensive >.>

So now Amidala's frozen nipples on Tatooine really will put somebody's eye out?

One with little lego caltrops.
Why is it that porn sites aren't rated in hertz?

For our amusement, let's hope they killed somebody's 2g1c download.

Hmm. Somebody please mod parent up. Thanks Carp.
Thanks :) Funny how my one misuse of the word "conspiracy" is a bigger issue than TFA. Must be a secret plot by allies of the grammer nazis.

I'm guessing it'd be some might consider it inappropriate (or really sexy) to point out that it is possible for both of your statements to be true...
