    I'd rather outlaw the existence of corporate speech

    And how do you expect to do that?

    He's saying that if you believe that Fox is the only source of propaganda, then you are a victim of the other sources of propaganda. Your citing Fox may not be singling them out, but just an indication that you believe that they are the worst in this regard.

    So they object to novels with female protagonists? :-)

    There is no reason the HTML5 standard needs to change that often if it's well thought out in the first place .

    The Constitution is mainly a restraint on government actions. Private citizens do not need permission to do things not expressly mentioned in the Constitution. Indeed, if I could enforce my will upon you, why would I have to follow the Constitution?

    I believe the GP means that the bug wasn't discovered until after the software was released. I'm pretty sure the bug isn't standard in the XBLA contract.

    Will they? If people can always find a way to get guns, why do we need the Second Amendment?

    Background checks and waiting periods? We have those.

    Under the terms of the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986, however, individuals "not engaged in the business" of dealing firearms, or who only make "occasional" sales within their state of residence, are under no requirement to conduct background checks on purchasers or maintain records of sale (although even private sellers are forbidden under federal law from selling firearms to persons they have reason to believe are felons or otherwise prohibited from purchasing firearms).

    I thought the Swiss Guard worked for the Vatican, and that the Renaissance-style uniforms were for the tourists. And even the ones without guns have those nasty ax/pike weapons, so I wouldn't play fashion police with them.
