I hate to tell you this but the apple pies are fried in the same oils as the fish and chicken. They have dedicated fryers but the oil goes through the same filtration systems and cross contaminate.
I'm not sure I would consider them Vegan.. Vegetarian maybe but McDonalds doesn't even make that claim.
Either you are confused or you are purposely using the term xenophobia incorrectly in order to exaggerate some point that otherwise wouldn't make sense at all.
No one is fearing strange or foreign concepts or people. They are doing little more than realizing that an over abundance of immigrants is harming their or their loved ones well being when it taxes a finite system of opportunities. It certainly is no xenophobic to self preserve and the association with foreigners is only ancillary to the issue of self preservation insomuch as it is the detriment in which defense is needed. Almost all people yelling and screaming about illegal immigrants recognize the value and worth in a legal immigration policy along with the talen and advantages those legal immigrants bring to the table.
In short, it isn't foreigners, it is foreigners harming them economic stability and cultural representation as opposed to foreigners that either enhance it in some way or do not effect it at all. Personally, I couldn't give two shits about someone coming in to a country study or or provide services not being already provided. But I think they should empty the prisons of all non violent drug offenders and put illegal immigrants in their stead. I cannot see how violating a law which largely makes yourself the victim is any worse than violating a law that tears apart national sovereignty.
Why don't you try to register it and find out. Report back your findings and if your home server actually meets the same qualifications as the others or not (if you are talking streaming verses hosting apps and documents)
I use to doubt I could find a job after punching out a supervisor and getting fired but eventually I ran out of savings and I had to look for one. To my surprise, I was wrong and it didn't take long to get hired. That was 35 years ago but I cannot fathom any acceptable reason why it would be different when all you do is doubt you can do it without trying. It is sort of like winning the lottery I guess. You simply cannot win or lose if you do not play. So try participating and then complain when they won't let you play.
You would need the ability to actually compete for that to happen. As it is now with cell phones, only a handful of companies have the rights to regulated frequencies and use their previous infrastructure to cut capital costs on roll-out and expansion. Everyone else has to lease from them.
The reality is, the lowest cost anyone can go is the lowest one of the more expensive players will allow across their network when a third party company leases access from them. And that is actually limited because they peer with each other so portions of some costs will end up matching costs on another network.
This isn't a situation where you could design or re-purpose a cell phone tomorrow and go into business. The FCC regulates spectrum and it is sold to a select few who ultimately control it. If this was a widget business concept and you could make widgets in your garage and compete, you would be right. But the principles of the matter dictates otherwise.
They are under some impression that only selected few can actually stream on this low bandwidth so those who build a business model out of large bandwidth streaming will be prejudiced.
They think this is the same as Time Warner offering an internet phone service and purposely screwing with streams from competitors (except with video and no one being rejected or screwed as long as they follow the same rules and if they don't, they follow the normal rules).
So in short, it is a bad thing because it is not an "everyone is identically equal things". It's sort of like a product of everyone getting first place trophies at a pissing contest or whatever sport these kids are into today.
It likely wouldn't matter anyways. In my state (as I suspect the same in many others), the owner of the vehicle is financially responsible for any damages caused by the vehicle. You can even lose your driver's license as the owner if you knowingly allow someone who is not covered by insurance drive it.
This law professor is typical of many people in the Ivory Towers, they don't quite understand how things actually work but have plenty of untried and untested theories on how they should. In California, you have to show proof of financial responsibility just to register your car and get valid license plates. So the owner is still responsible whether he allows his neighbor to drive, or himself, or if it was stolen or whatever.
In 2014, 22 million chickens are consumed in the US each day. Something like 8 billion per year was noted on another page I saw. Now that also includes chicken parts and by products like flavorings for other foods and such. It might even include the number used in animal foods and such too but I don't know for sure.
In a country with 318 million people, that is a lot more than 5 chickens per year. It's more like 25 chickens per person per year or a little over 2 chickens per month..If Bolivia increased production by 100000 for export, they would just be scratching the surface of the US markets let alone other markets like Europe and such.
Either way, it doesn't matter. They could have found a use for the chickens and made something work or they could have rejected them like they did. When people say their problem is transportation infrastructure, that was just a quick idea on how to find funds to improve it. Personally, I think poverty is a function or dysfunction of government and only really exists today due to failed government policies, corruption, and ignorance. You can fix ignorance but it seems like failed government policies will be retried and retried and retried with each time holding their fingers crossed differently and tossing tons more money at no real solutions. This also invited corruption and here we are yet again.
Well, I know every Hollywood movie I see that portrays one of those countries always shows a bunch of chickens running around in the poor areas. I haven't been there so i don't know myself.
But I do know that transportation infrastructure is generally the realm of government and not foreigners taking pity on the people subject to those governments. So why don't the government accept the chickens, run a state chicken farm using prison labor and resell the chickens to foreign countries for profit that goes to developing transportation infrastructure? 100,000 chickens is about the size of a single medium to smaller of the large chicken farm in the U.S..
ISIS often sends recruits who do not show some extreme value to their death by either fighting on the front lines or by suicide bombings. So in order to get someone on the inside (as opposed to turning someone already on the inside) they would either have to take up arms against our allies, commit a terrorist attack, or somehow help with the planning and organization of either in a way that makes them more valuable to keep around than put at risk.
What they need to do is work people already in ISIS who have become somewhat disenfranchised. Off them asylum or whatever, fake an arrest, and then give them a new identity after they spill the beans on everything they know. Of course we would know a lot more if we didn't have a government who ran out and bragged about every little thing the do and how they did it when it comes to ISIS or any other hotspot going on.
That gun violence number includes suicides which is misleading. For instance, from the 2013 CDC data table 18, it gives firearms deaths at 33,636. The number of suicide by firearms is 21,175. Almost two thirds of those fatalities are intentionally self inflicted by people harming only themselves (which as a free person should be your right even if it is stupid).
12,461 people did die from gun violence in 2013 though. However, 48,545 died from poisoning deaths and only 6,637 of those were suicide. That is 41,908 poisoning deaths not attributed to suicide. It is also more deaths than all firearm related deaths with and without discounting suicides. But suicides were the 10th leading cause of deaths in the US in 2013 and 2014. Heart disease and cancer were number 1 and 2 respectively.
So before banning cars and guns, we should ban cancer, heart disease, and suicides. As for banning foreigners, I don't really care but an American citizen and legal resident has more of a right to have a car, weapons, and to kill themselves than foreigners have a right to enter the country.
I was in Idaho in the mid to late 1990s (twin falls area). There was some Arabic looking guy found hanging from a tree with his hands and feet duct taped behind his back. Everyone was talking about it, plenty of people saw it before the cops cut him down. A few days later, the news paper said the sheriff suspected it as an apparent suicide and the coroner backed this idea.
You will believe what they want you to believe, whether you believe that or not. It doesn't matter.
It is dangerous and stupid to try anything anyways without a constitutional amendment first. What we would end up with is both, a consumption tax and an income tax much like in the states that have both a sales tax and an income tax.
You cannot even trust a politician to follow the constitution now unless it somehow benefits them more in doing so. And almost every politician runs on bringing home the bacon (back to the state or to their constituents) to some degree which costs money. With both a consumption tax and an income tax, we would see things happening that would have made even the most devout communist/socialist blush.
It is fairly well known it is a boondoggle but the spec on paper say it should be a decent multi role fighter. There is the problem, on paper, it looks good. In reality, it scares a lot of people. But multi role fighters have always been sub par for the majority of tasks it is supposed to be capable for. I just don't think anyone realized how sub par it was going to be at almost everything it was designed to do. It doesn't hold a candle to a lot of previous fighters in the roles they held but there are some people who say it is better for the some roles.
Who says the welfare kings and queens are buying the drugs?
I have a friend who whenever he comes over packs a bowl and wants to share it. I don't smoke (drug testing at work) but I certainly could for free if I wanted to. I had a girlfriend who probably never purchased a drink with her own money the entire time we dated. There are lots of ways that someone could fail a drug test and never purchased drugs or alcohol.
Who cares? Do you really want the US government building your phone instead of at minimum appearing to be trying to look out for the defense of the country?
Rambling about spending in one area because there could be spending in another shows the mental lapses in association with reality. If the spending wasn't happening it likely still wouldn't be happening. We are spending on credit in the first place so if there is no reason or will to spend on it now, there will be no changes if we decided to spend less on credit for whatever reason.
I'm pretty sure there is a buy American made first law on the books which would have favored Apple.
However, in this particular instance I think the Samsung move was appropriate because they would allow a complete auditing of the device and software as well as control of the updates and such. Samsung will likely sign custum roms or even grant the secret service access to a key to sign themselves. Apple on the other hand, would likely see attempts at this as a means to backdoor their security and fight it like with the san Bernardino phone.
Just way more flexibility in the super secret security department i guess.
What makes you think money is the preferred payment? How about you sit on your hands while we help Assad or do this thing in Ukraine. Or make peace with Iran so we can sell defense armaments to them again.
There are a lot of methods for payment that do not directly involve money.
He didn't say other countries abstain, he said that they don't admit to it. It is like riding that fat girl or screwing a moped, lots of people do it but rarely do people admit to doing it.
So a revolver is an assault weapon? Check out Bob Munden and Jerry Mikulec. Any gun with a magazine or clip? At what rate do you cross that threshold. For instance, oswald let off 3 aimed shots in under 8 seconds with a bolt action rifle. Aiming took up most that time too. And while not ideal, any weapon capable of killing at long range will be capable at short range. In a crowd like the night club, you don't even need to aim, just point.
You are describing about any gun other than muzzle loaders. That is why it would never pass. But suppose it did. Obviously those assault weapons exist so what is to stop them from being accessed and used. Hopefully not a war on drugs or something.
You cannot define assault weapon without falling into the exact same problem of it only describing how scary the weapon looks. But if you tried, it would be obvious to you that you were part of the gun lobby because that is the boogeyman you want to blame your misgivings on.
And the point is. . Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean it was right or should be repeated. Or do you think the lie detection process of dunking someone under water to see if they are a witch should be revived? I mean it was foolproof. If they lived, they lied and was a witch and needed killing but if they died, they were telling the truth.
Over 300 people in a small or confined area. Whether the shooter can see or not, randomly pointing towards the sound (people fleeing) and shooting will have a large success rate.
But I'm not sure it matters. If you could not get a gun, you would build a bomb. A claymore mine or two would have deviated this place too.
The bible is a set of covenants with God. Not everything in it is supposed to be literal in every covenant. The latest is the New Testament which sets new rules. We don't stone adulterers because Jesus said so not because we want to ignore Leviticus.
The old testament is more or less a historical representation of the path that made Jesus legitimate and the new covenant.
The bible is not like a programming manual. It is more like a collection of them designed to illustrate how we got to the newest fad language by showing the progression through the old ones. The jews understand it this way to, they just don't accept Jesus or the new testament.
But what is missing here is the fact that there are multiple denominations within religions. Sometimes they disagree on interpretation of parts of the bible and sometimes it is the organizational structure of the church.

I have no problems with any of those options. Just amend the constitution to grant the government the constitutional authority to take action.
