The companies should do everything they can to prevent catastrophic failures of their products from harming human life. Yes, even if safety means they can't produce tiny products for tiny prices, I still expect them to make their product safe.
If the phones had a 1 out of 500,000 chance of killing someone, would you still be okay with demanding the low price unsafe product?
Almost as funny as the calls for reform after this past election even though Bush won in both popular vote and the electoral college...by pretty good margins.
CA's emissions laws were a joke. Some companies just added air intakes for the sole purpose of diluting emissions so they'd pass tests. Of course, the power needed to run the intake actually caused it to consome more fuel and spit out pollution at a higher rate, but it was diluted and therefore passed.
A shit ton of those are just recommendations and statements condemning insignificant actions. If Israel had occupied an entire country for no reason other than it wanted to, and had to be dislodged and instructed to dismantle (and prove it) their WMD programs and they did not cooperate and routinely misled the UN, I'd expect the US to go in and force them into compliance just like in Iraq.
um, no. 52% of VOTERS think you are fuckwits. The entire population is no eligible to vote and the entire population of voters did not vote. Anyone who did not vote, did not express their opinion at the polls.
Personally, I was afraid the oval office would be relocated to UN headquarters or somewhere in the EU if Kerry were elected.
I'm sure that if Kyoto had been offered up to them without time to read it along with a hyped up "environmental threat" that the Senate could not afford to seem "soft" on, Kyoto would have passed too.
I assume you're talking about the propaganda induced belief that nationalism was the reason the first two World Wars were fought?
World War I was caused by thirst for power of LEADERS mixed with a system of alliances that created a time bomb in wich the question was not "will there be a massive war" but "when will we have the war?".
World War II was caused primarily because of the mistreatment of Germany after WWI. Europe turned Germany into their bitch, kept Germany beat down and extracted every penny from Germany. Germany's people did not like this. It was not a matter of nationalism but a matter of being beaten down over something a non-elected no longer existant government did. So they elected someone that said all the righ things and history marched on.
In a world where people think it's "bad" to be (insert whatever nationality here), it's only logical that we'd give them a big middle finger by being PROUD of being *who we are*.
You're thinking of Welfare, not Social Security. Most people who get social security checks did work. Unfortunately, it's a pay as we go system and those working won't be able to support those not working when those not working anymore becomes much higher than those working:|

They have open sourced (but not GPL ofc) some of their stuff. Their problem is with the GPL.
As it turns out, they were both the same person.
If you're packing the battery with more and more volatile chemicals that may explode to get that power, it's quite right.
ofc, that's only because it's not you.

BigPond was covering their owner's ass. It had virtually nothing to do with the children.
I don't think Mozilla.org has any say in whether people update themes and extensions to work with their updates quickly or at all.
Like building stargates.

They assume that people are robots and have no free will and no choice but to follow past trends?

Since they do not follow the convention, we do not have to follow it when dealing with them, get it? That is in the treaty.

That's funny. A lot of us came from Europe in the first place. Blame yourselves. You spawned us.
Or maybe we know that the US Federal Government is not the country itself? hmmmm, radical notion indeed.

If chimps do it with big sticks, it's natural. If humans do it with big sticks, it is unnatural. Oh, wait...

Speaking of the UN, shouldn't the EU be reduced to a single vote since they are functioning as a single unit these days?
They would never write a letter about Kyoto to the US since the US never ratified it.
By your logic, the government should NOT be disallowing taxes on the internet.
We aren't so much overtaxed as our money just isn't be used effectively.
Especially considering the fact that deplete uranium isn't even waste. It's natural uranium with the U-235 isotope removed.
