Yeah I mean it's not like US Supreme Court justices are members of organizations like the Federalist Society, which might influence their judicial judgment...
I am continually amazed/frightened/repelled by how quickly the misogyny comes out on slashdot. I leads me momentarily to wonder if lots of men around me really feel this concealed seething discontent with 51% of the world, but then I remember that slashdot is filled with sad, lonely people.
Not being a christian I can't speak as one of '99.9%' of them, but I would have to note by way of anecdote that the vast majority of christians I know have no particular problem with gay marriage. Unsurprisingly this includes the 3 gay Episcopal priests I know. I'm pretty sure they aren't planning on 'immediately disclaim[ing] their involvement with any church'. But don't let facts get in the way of your entirely rational rant.
People forget that legality and morality are not necessarily parallel concepts. In a way it is understandable, because most of our laws are fairly just. But people like simple concepts and simple situations, and they would rather not contemplate the possibility that morality might require one to do something illegal. I wish more people were made to read Thoreau.
In fact it would be more or less that way people were for most of human history, when drinking water was unsafe and people drank beer/wine/mead instead.
I tried really hard to write something for that in High School. Any money for college would have helped at that point. I read the Fountainhead and everything. In the end I couldn't bring myself to be as intellectually dishonest as I would have needed to be to win something from them. I think that was an important lesson in and of itself.
Wait, illegals don't have to pay sales taxes or gas taxes or automatically deducted payroll taxes? I'm going to go hop a border...now, back in the real world everyone pays those taxes because they don't ask to see a birth certificate when you buy a slurpee at 7-11.
What I don't understand about this case is why, if school officials had determined that the girl might be in illegal possession of a substance the first reaction was not to call the police and have them conduct any search that was necessary. I went to school in Florida and I know that both my middle school and my high school had sheriff's deputies assigned to them. Here in NYC there are school safety officers assigned to schools that have all the same powers as police officers. We like to rail at law enforcement here on slashdot (myself included), but there is no question that they are immensely more qualified for this sort of thing then than a school secretary and the school nurse. This is just inexcusable incompetence.
What if you simply buy your meat from local farms instead of the supermarket. I guarantee you that you can find some pretty much wherever you are. Case in point: www.flyingpigsfarm.com
Unfortunately and stupidly I know many vegans who don't eat honey. What I have never understood is why some of them won't eat wheat gluten.Grr, vegans piss me off. No lifestyle completely reliant on modern human technology should be allowed to claim they are somehow more organic and natural.
Or in the real world we get the people demanding not just efficient, honest and able administrators, but paragons of 'virtue', unassailable and without flaw, willing to endure any amount of active undermining and continuous scrutiny from all and sundry, all while forgoing blowjobs. And then we wonder why people just go work on wall street instead. We deserve the government we get.

This is the same way rural electrification was implemented.

Many countries will not allow armed ships to dock. Having guns on board does in fact count. Most shipping companies don't want the hassle.

No, but I can go check out Brokeback Mountain and Naked Lunch...

There should be a (-1 Morally Reprehensible) mod.
Man, slashdot would be a quiet place if that were true. How would everyone wail and gnash their teeth about the US then?

Maricopa County, AZ is the place where the Constitution goes to die.
Langue D'oil --> Langue D'oc is really a spectrum of dialects.
Umm here, where they go to school? Or are you implying that Korea will become battery capital of the planet?

The fascinating and important thing about autism as a spectrum disorder is that necessarily we all fall somewhere in that spectrum.

You were robbed. That is one of the funniest things I have seen on /. for a long time.
So in that respect it is exactly like Linux?

The side that can form coherent sentences? I wasn't aware that had a political affiliation.
