You are assessed by qualified professionals in a controlled environment until they are sure, beyond reasonable doubt, that you are indeed rehabilitated and unlikely to re-offend.
That's a higher standard than the current system. Someone who gets a 10 year sentence for Armed Robbery gets released at 10 years, without such checks or standards. They may be let out early with similar standards, but will get out at 10 years, so long as they aren't convicted of kiling a guard or such in the mean time. So the 10 years is a punishment, and not there for the benefit of society or the offfender.
"The listing will be removed and account can be suspended if keywords or other portions of the listing are found to, in eBay's opinion, to infringe on the trademarks of others." It might not be fair. It might not be nice, but it can distinguish between the two.
Punishment isn't a deterrent for many. Many of the law-breakers know it's illegal and do it because they either believe they won't get caught (poor statistical analysis, and a God complex, common in the young), or they don't think about it or don't care (all those that beat or kill their family members). Many expect to die in the act, or work to ensure it (suicide by cop is comon for mass shooters). It's not like any possible punnishment would have prevented Charles Whitman from killing.
Most countries have a greater focus on rehabilitation. They also spend less on prisons. The US system is a punishment system. Hurt them for what they did. It is sold as a "deterrent" but it doesn't work. The people committing crimes don't stop to think about the consequences.
If you are right, and some people are incapable of rehabilitation, then I'd consider them mentally ill. So have separate facilities for the "criminally insane" where they are segregated for life, as opposed to prisons, so you don't have the bad guys teaching the others the bad things.
Rehabilitation is a code word for "I'd rather spend my money on something other than keeping that guy in prison for the rest of his life". I'm for rehabilitation because it's cheaper, not that I'm "soft" on crime.
We have. We call it "plea bargaining". What is torture? Threat of harm to get something you want (shoot someone if they don't get out of the car and let you steal it is a modern form, as well as the $5 wrench to beat a key out of someone). So what is a plea bargain? A threat of harm by a DA unless you do what they say. That meats every definition of "toorture" I've seen, other than the more modern definitions where "torture" is intentional harm inflicted as punishment. Recently it's been used for punishment only, but the original definition (from the inquisition and before) was harm and threats of harm to get a confession. And that's exactly what a "plea bargain" is.
I never distorted a single fact. I pointed out associated facts that cause confusion. That you can't make basic connections like that makes you the idiot troll stalker.
The whoosh is you getting the joke, but not realizing it was a joke. There's a reason so many people think the vicctims of the Tuskegee Experiment were in the military. What could that reason be?
I'm not wrong about anything. I indicated that people confuse the Tuskegee Airmen and the Tuskegee Experiment. Are you asserting that nobody confuses them?
If you read another sentence or two, you'd note that there was no verified treatment for syphilis for the first decade of the experiments.
So when the treatments were available they were given? The "unverified" treatments were given? Perhaps doses of arsenic of varying strength to see whether near-lethal doses cured it better than longer doses of lower levels? No, there was no care given, and there was to be no care given. It wasn't about treating it, but from what I have seen, it was an experiment to track the pathology (especially used to diagnose dead people, especially royalty and other "important" figures). It was torture, nothing more. It's "unethical" like the holocaust was "unethical".
the Tuskegee experiments weren't that much more awful when compared to everything else we did.
And serve to prove that US government conspiracies do exist.
No, it wouldn't. They aren't advertising it as a confusing replacement for a trademarked item, but as a replacement part for a specific thing. That's different.
And when they do allow tests, the burry any that doesn't show what they want. There was one I saw that was around smoking MJ and driving. The result was that driving high was *safer* than driving sober. The reason was that stoners over-estimate their impairment, while drunks under-estimate theirs. The stoners said "dude, I feel *soooo* high" and drove slower and more carefully when high than when sober.
But I can't link to it. I had it bookmarked years ago, but it disappears from everywhere I've seen it. I'd suspect a conspiracy, but we know that's unlikey, right?
Sometimes the "cure" is a lifetime of medication. Glaucoma can be "cured" that way the way many diseases are "cured" by terminal management of symptoms.
They didn't hit on yellow until relatively recently. And I remember the yellow being on other things first, like the yellow Pelican cases. Fluke stole Pelican's "rugged yellow" to look rugged, then complains when others do the same. But then, this was before the Internet captured everything, so I can't find good timelines between Pelican cases in yellow and Fluke adopting the color. But my faulty memory has it as Pelican first.
Indego and violet are the same "color" just difering brightness, as the spectrum leaves our visual range. When the patent covers a single prime color (including shades in the secondary close to the primary) then there are 3 or 6 colors, plus the non-color wheel colors (brown, white, black, and maybe grey). That there are infinite colors doesn't apply when a single "color" for patent purposes is also an infinite number of colors (the infinite number of shades between "green" and "orange").
When they put "like Fluke" in the description for searches to show up when you look for "fluke" they should prosecute the seller fo fraud. That's a willful deception, "tricking" people to their auction with deception for profit.

When there are clear lines along racial boundaries, why exclude an obvious factor?

Prison is about vengance, "justice", punishment, and many other things. Rehabilitation isn't on the list. It's an afterthought.

Previous people were confused about them being in the military, so I just pointed out the overlap that causes confusion. Why all the hate?

They were not soldiers.
Then why do so many call them the Tuskegee Airmen?
They weren't deliberately infected, they weren't soldiers,
Everyone knows the Tuskegee Blacks were in the military. They were airmen.
(they were sharecroppers, and they were provided with free medical cares,
What good is "medical care" when there's a deliberate lie about the care?
So the ICE agents go off to agency lawyers to interpret the law for them before they apply it?
The story is indicating that they violate the trademark through the use of the color yellow.
They didn't hit on yellow until relatively recently. And I remember the yellow being on other things first, like the yellow Pelican cases.
