Or how about we just don't do stupid things like this, so that people can actually live their lives free of government intrusion, as we are SUPPOSED to be doing?
I dunno where I stand with it. On one hand, a person shouldn't be excluded for a job because of a POSSIBLE heart condition. OTOH, I fail to see why society should pay the costs when people choose to have a kid where they KNOW the kid will require constant and expensive medical care their entire life, beyond what a normal person would (something like Down syndrom, for example). At the end of the day, we DO have limited resources, and I'm not sure its worth spending like that.
And not only that, in free and democratic societies, individuals deciding on their own to leak classified information is a subversion of that very democratic process. In the US, we have collectively decided, as a society, that some information should be kept secret, even from The People, and we have empowered and entrusted the government with the power to do so.
That's pretty disingenuous, don't you think? Most of the laws in place where in place long before I was born. So I'm already at a disadvantage, and then you come along and say "we all wanted this?" Please, that's asinine. Might as well say everyone is happen because Obama won, when in reality, a very significant portion of people DIDN'T want him (46%). Yes, technically he want the majority, but that doesn't make the opinion of 58,000,000 other people irrelevent.
Ya, doesn't seem to be working too well does it though?
I like consistency too. But I also don't want blind adherense either, that's just stupidity. What justice will be done by removing the father in this case, which will no doubt cause further hardship for the mother and other child?
Bleck. I tried it; its crap. Heavily compressed, and stereo sound. And it STILL would do the "buffering" thing throughout the movie. I have a 20mb connection (love my cities fiber network!), so that wasn't the issue.
I can't speak for the movies, but the DLC I purchased can be redownloaded at any time. It'd be suprised if it wasn't the same with movies. Alternatively, its possible that it gets backed up when you bakcup your ps3.
For something you don't use, your sure do have strong opinions about it. Your giant ego also leads you to believe that everyone uses it exactly the same way, because that's what you hear on the news and you can't possibly fathum how others might use the site.
But please, let me help you tone down your own ego; no one cares that you're not on facebook either. You're not important enough that WE need to know that.
I have a 46" TV, and there's a noticable difference between an upscaled DVD and a bluray at 1080p.
Maybe you have a crap TV that only goes to 720p, or is 50hz or something, I don't know.
I'm also not sure what is dumb about buying a PS3; I've been very happy with mine. A combo bluray player, game console, media player, browser, etc. Its been well worth it.
What on earth would make you believe that? People never believe it will happen to them.
And I have a problem with you wanting to punish someone simply to make an example of them. I'd have a hard time believing this individual hasn't learned their lesson.
In all the types of cases you list, the person is a danger to at least one other person. Do you honestly believe this person will continue to be a danger to someone else? I personally would be suprised if they didn't immediately get rid of all their guns. That's how most reasonable people would act (and yes, reasonable people DO in fact make mistakes and are careless. To expect perfection is to expect failure).
If the owner of the pool was found to be negligent in letting the kid come and play with their pool, yes.
Based on this, I don't think you understand what it means to be negligent. I'll give you a hint; its NOT just being careless.
You'd have a point if that were always true, but its not. Neglegent != careless. Oh and charged != convicted. You really think ever manslaught charge involved a car results in conviction?
In my experience it always does. Its not that they're adding oil, it's that over time the oil naturally seperates. Perhaps the time from jarring to your purchase is much less than it is here in the US. If they removed the oil, your peanut butter would be exteremly dry and not really spreadable (which happens to me, as its really fucking hard to stir it all up again!).
Could also be that Organic in the US is a different definition than it is in the UK (although I found your Whole Earth PB specifically with "Organic" in the label, while the one you linked doesn't say one way or the other).
I grew up with guns. My dad made sure we knew to NEVER touch them. I also knew he had a loaded pistol kept in a night stand. He told us it was there, and again said to never touch it. We knew it would be serious if something happened.
We also had dangerous chemicals within reach, which we again never touched. Our mom told us it would hurt us and used those mr. yuck stickers to reminder us which ones to stay away from.
You see, there's reasonable reactions, and there is overreactions. Judging the from totally helpless people now bleating about this and that in this country, I think I know where most parents went...
Or your toddler may pick up a gun and accidently kill themselves.
Saying "terrible lapse of judgment" and "be responsible next time" isn't enough for me.
I don't see how this situation involves you though.
This man should be charged with child endangerment so that people take their Second Amendment Rights seriously and responsibly should they choose to exercise them.
Shall we charge you whenever you say something stupid and damaging to your kid, so that you take your First Amendment rights seriously and responsibly?
Were I a prosecutor, I would push for the jury to see that going through the trouble to find a toy (not regularly distributed commercially here) for your child identical to the loaded handgun that you "happened" to leave on the table one evening is more than suspicious.
Ya, and reasonble person would think he purposefully bough the fake one to trip the kid into killing herself. Great theory there.
If you have children, invest in a home security system before a handgun, folks.
Why? So the police can show up two hours later instead of an hour later after they call for help when someone is breaking in?
I have to wonder... at the end of they day, why do you really care one way or the other? Do you think he's a threat to you somehow? If the kid had accidently drowned because they own a swimming pool should someone be charged?
It depends on how much fat you're eating. Fat is important to watch because you get nine calories out of it instead of the four from carbs or protien. The problem with sugar is that your body absorbs it WAY faster than it can possibly use it, so it converts it to fat.
But eat too many calories, regardless of whether its fat, carbs or protien, and you'll get fat (although a low fat low carb diet will likely kill you do to ammonia build up from using protien for energy).
Your heart is just moving more blood around though.. your muscles still aren't doing anything, so the calories you're burning are irrelevent. Oh, and I believe that kind of stress is actually bad for your heart...

I'm sure you wouldn't mind being waterboared then huh?

So your premise is that people can't learn. Got it, but its rather absurd.
No, it makes more sense to blame the murderers.
plus there's Netflix Instant Streaming

You're comparing a few minutes in the rain to what could be HOURS.

If deterrence worked, we'd have no crime.
I have to wonder... at the end of they day, why do you really care one way or the other? Do you think he's a threat to you somehow? If the kid had accidently drowned because they own a swimming pool should someone be charged?
But I'm sure you drive a car, which can be just as dangerous, and I'm also sure YOU'RE not as attentive to that task as you always should be.
Ya, because I'm sure he still needs to learn a lesson.

To be fair McNuggests DO have quite a bit of protien too.
Your heart is just moving more blood around though.. your muscles still aren't doing anything, so the calories you're burning are irrelevent. Oh, and I believe that kind of stress is actually bad for your heart...
