US is also the only country in the world that is constantly in war with other countries, bullies them and has a history of supporting enemies of its enemies
You realize that every country in the history of humanity has done the exact same things, right?
One frequent problem is that many people that think they are too important to obey pesky IT rules and they will give out the WPA key to any visitor that wants to check their email.
Most enterprise grade access points will support multiple SSIDs and VLANs. It's child's play to setup a VLAN for guests that provides internet access without putting them on your corporate network. I did this at my job because I was sick of explaining to the bosses why it was a bad idea to put vendors and salespeople on our corporate network just so they could check their e-mail. It took all of ten minutes to setup with Cisco access points, switches and routers.
Here's what I don't get about the Political Right:
Could you explain to me why the political left wants to take away my right to vote on a secret ballot as to whether or not my employer should be unionized? Putting that out in the open is just going to make it that much easier for either side (labor or management) to intimidate people.
and the decline of the US manufacturing sector
American car makers have been unionized for decades. How are they doing?
I've had UPS leave packages on my front porch that are blown off and found weeks later underneath the porch and worse. Their customer service is awful. They require signatures when it's unnecessary and get no signatures when they're really needed.
I had to ship a handgun back to the manufacturer once upon a time for a warranty issue. When it was shipped back to me the local UPS driver left it on my porch without getting a signature for it. Every single side of that package was stamped "ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED" but the dipshit just left it out in the open.
M'eh, if you have anything sensitive that you're sending over the network it should be sent securely, period. ie) via SSH, HTTPS, etc... Otherwise, you're just doing it wrong.
So I should put an ssh/ssl tunnel between my laptop users and our Windows file server?
No it doesn't. Guinness is 4% alcohol according to this site. That's squarely in the middle as far as beers go. Budweiser and Coors (if you can call them beer) are 5%, Yuengling is 4.4%, Magic Hat #9 (my current favorite) is 5.1%......
Also, a shot isn't a "beer and a half". A standard shot contains 1.5 fl oz of liquor. With 80 proof spirits that comes out to 0.6 fl oz of alcohol. A pint (16 oz) of Guinness at 4% would add another 0.64 fl oz of alcohol.
No, it doesn't matter that public opinion favors legalization, but not for the reasons that you stated. It doesn't matter because the politicians know that most people aren't willing to base their vote on the issue. They also know that they will lose more votes from the "soft on crime" crowd than they will gain from the 420 crowd.
If people were willing to base their votes on the issue pot would be legal tomorrow.

and there have been a push to make the world a non-corrupt and peaceful place.
Dude, stop bogarting that shit and pass it.....
US has done over and over again the exact same things that they accuse the current terrorists and countries that support them doing.
Yey, moral equivalency. Spare me.
Take some geography lessons. Afghanistan != Iraq.

Would you feel better if I had said "my ability to vote a secret ballot" instead?

I don't get the ex-con bit, is someone with a criminal conviction not supposed to have a job?
No, but should they have a job that involves the handling of all manner of expensive items, including firearms?
Why should tax money from the wealthy go to the poor?
It shouldn't.
Now I'll get modded troll for having the nerve to disagree with this assumption.....

That could have ended very badly.....

Thankfully we passed the assault sword ban and never again had to worry about people using them for crime.
If Lucas wrote the script he would have robbed the bank with a walkie-talkie instead of a handgun.
Oh wait, that's Spielberg, never mind ;)
Photons are particles of light energy which probably wouldn't do much besides blind someone when concentrated
You've never heard of gamma rays, have you?

He loses some coolness points for wearing camo pants. No self-respecting Jedi or Sith would be caught dead in them ;)
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid......
So if you could buy herbal anti-energy drinks from the cooler at any checkout for $0.99 you'd still rather kill your lungs?
Yes. My body, my choice as the feminists say.....
All that proves is that the law is badly written.
but most of what it does is just novelty
That's your opinion.
How many different ways are you and the GGGP going to come up with to dismiss the various useful features of GPS navigation devices?
can i buy it without the squirrel?
Is the moose included with the squirrel or is that an additional fee?
Maybe I have better things to do with my time than sit down and measure out the turns on a map to figure out the total distance?

some religious conservative asshole will proclaim it is god's punishment for growing weed
Conservatives don't have the monopoly on religious assholes you know.....
You do realize that the amount of THC you absorb from inhaling second hand smoke at a distance is physiologically insignificant, right?
