  4. Re:WHY property? on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    What is this american obsession with property.
    Privacy is someting you can expect, regardless of property. It in fact has nothing to do with property.
    Privacy is something you can excpect even in a public place.
    Even at the beach. Someone talking a picture of you without permission can not publish that.
    Whether you own thy beach or not.

    Are you sure about that? We have a local news segment here in silicon valley on channel 4 (nbc?) called people behaving badly, and because he films people in public spaces, he does NOT need you to sign a waiver to use your image on TV, the guy who does the segment held a little ama on the news channel on the weekend where he discussed in length how public pictures are not prohibited by privacy laws.

    this included places like crosswalks, front yards, side of the freeway, people in their cars, etc.. i haven't seen any open air place yet that he has had to blur images of people.

    Life is fair. to paraphrase that one movie "everything in nature tries to find a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment", like how water tries to find it's level. the thing that makes life seem unfair are the actions of people who try to pervert this natural equality but fucking over their fellow man.

    so Life is fair, people are not.
    to quote that other movie

    "i always thought life was what we make of it."

    and in that line of reasoning i have always felt that we should strive to be fair and make the world a better, fairer place than give up and tote the line that somehow existence is naturally unfair (which is usually what is given as an explanation by those who are fucking you over to justify their actions).

  20. "may actually have been worse in days gone by."

    and they may not.

    seriously, what's the point of making a statement that uses the word "may" when trying to frame a discussion. (although after trying to read your post a few times, i think the problem is either your frantic haste in writing the message or a lack of basic understand when it comes to sentence structure/english)

  21. " A lot of people in Mexico are dying because of the legal status of drugs."

  22. i've found that if i specify what i think im worth by giving them a number i feel is high for the position, most recruiters will tell you they can't pay that much and give you the opportunity to see what their max range is... then accept it or try to finagle a couple of bucks an hour/10k-year.

    "It is no more wrong to call piracy theft than it is to call it the same if you tap into your neighbor's cable so that you can get cable without paying for it. "
