So the only people who can be considered conservative are people who hold your views? Please see the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. No, didn't say that please see the Straw Man fallacy. I stated that Stevens isn't a conservative b/c a core belief of conservatism is that the Constitution was set to enumerate and limit the powers of the federal govt. Again, Newsweek made a diagnosis, I refuted their opinion based on the accepted definition of conservatism. If you want to pretend that words have no meanings or that only self appointed political labels are valid that is your right. This has nothing to do with ideological purity.
I know it would never happen since you guys in the states think that the constitution is some form of holy bible, unchanging and written by gods but... Well, it is the foundation of our govt., has been amended 27 times, nope written by James Madison. Aside from slavery, it has kept this country in pretty good stead.
I know academics who work in drug trials who just love to point out that penecilin would almost certainly not even make it through the early stages of trial were it invented today because so many people are severly alergic to it. Better example, aspirin the difference between effective dose and lethal dose is too small for todays OTC regulations.
John Paul Stevens is a conservative. He appears "left" only in comparison to the hard right composition of the rest of the court. Ummm, No. Anybody who thinks the framers of the US Constitution didn't intend to limit the federal govt. powers is not a conservative(Stevens also didn't bother to read the Federalist Papers either if his dissent of DC v Heller is any indication.)
The US government is currently in the process of pre-trial hearings for an illegally detained child soldier in Guantanomo Bay, which demonstrates the New American Empire's power to ignore the American constitution whenever it feels like it. Illegally detained how? Did they fly to Canada and abduct him?And treaties are not superior to the US Constituition.
Just a simple question(I am not trolling) what did the tories do that was so much worse then the 13 yr Labour govt. that people dislike Labour, but hate the Tories?
Just a nitpick, but wouldnt laser rifles be really awful at anti-infantry? No stopping power, high power usage, and what kind of battery do they need to carry to power one? Last time I checked explosives carry far more energy per Kg than batteries do.
Well they wouldn't need lots of power to blind the enemy soldiers, but such weapons would be against the Geneva Convention so we'd have to crank up the power to vaporize or boil the brain to stay in line with the convention.
Much of the technology we are currently using (fighter planes, as an example) serve no purpose over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bombers, sure...but planes designed for air-to-air combat? What, are they fighting the 47th Flying Sandies Brigade? Much of our military spending is still stuck in the Cold War. It needs to be drastically altered.
What do you keeps other airplanes from shooting down our bombers?Not every enemy we face in the near future will be without an airforce.
captured because he did not destroy the VIN number of the vehicle he used. If the bomb had gone off then recovery of the VIN would have been severly hampered. Ie he would have be in the emirates by the time they pieced together the VIN. Instead the bomb failed and a fully intact vehicle w/ the VIN stamped in several places allowed for a quick discovery of the owner of the vehicle.
b) it was CCTV that helped capture the man behind the recent bomb attempt in New York by catching pictures of him, don't you? Guns wouldn't have helped in either of those situations.
Ummm, no the VIN is what helped catch the guy in New York. And his own stupidity.
Dismissing websites that have actually been designed as opposed to just latex2html-ified as "art" really just makes you come off as a grumpy person with no sense for estetics and good presentation of the information. [cough] myspace[/cough]. Sorry, going to have to agree w/ the gpp, less sizzle more steak please.
There a zillion other fibrous plants to use, and who says we have to wear clothes at all;-). However somewhere along the way someone is going to have to make the decision about whether a scare commodity (fresh water) is better used for making clothes or for drinking. Before that why don't we stop holding fountain shows in the middle of the desert?
It will be Europe telling the US when to jump soon. Yes, once you default on all that sovereign debt. And a militaristic Germany unites Europe under the Deutche Mark.
I wonder how long today's better batteries and lower-power circuits would run on a "basic" phone... maybe get a month of stand-by and a full day of talk-til-you-drop? There might be a market for that. Might I recommend you get a jitterbug? It even comes in 3 colors: black, red, white.
just now getting out of and decided the banks didn't need to pay back the tons of money they'd got from foreign investors? Who do you think were all the AIG counter parties getting paid 100 cents on the dollar? Hint it wasn't all Goldman Sachs.
i live in india. We have petrol prices at about a dollar per liter. Although that may be cheap by your standards, its quite significant here. Actually, that would be ~$4/gal isn't metric to english units conversion fun.
less power consumption (considering wifi and Bluetooth are built in). This is hilarious, it now takes less energy to push radio waves through the air then to move electrons down a wire. Amazing what the RDF can do(hint. it's not the robotech defense force).
Indeed, Mr. ex-President of Namco Bandai Network Europe, is pissing and moaning that his team of MBA's can't setup some sort of rent-seeking control on Android's market and leverage synergies over 9000! So please keep the carriers away from the app store to avoid the Verizon crippled java scenario.
So the president can make and put into action such a plan but this is not an expansion of existing authorities? Since when did the president have authority to censor speech? When he got the right to round up innocent Americans and inter them.
Seems to me that this strategy isn't working out too well for the women. The men still have all the money, and the women are stuck raising kids alone with lower-paying jobs and chasing after lying men for child-support payments which they generally never get. Wow, you really haven't been paying attention, look at average lifespans. Once medical science reduced the lethality of the child birth, women have virtually no risk of dying. And after you account for leaving the work place to raise children you find women make more money not less. Therefore, the strategy is working out pretty well for women.
By the way the Australian grand prix was a very good race. Lots of ballsy overtaking and constantly something to watch. Contrast that to Bahrain two weeks ago, two hours of utter tedium with maybe half a dozen overtakes once you take out car failure. See I am not sure if the improved racing was due to the rain playing hell with the strategy, or the fact that the rain tires(and possibly the rain itself) doesn't create that mid race line of good traction and every where else is klag and marbles. See it's very difficult to pass a car if as soon as you get off the racing line you lose traction and can't corner worth a damn.
Women, is it really so hard to just be honest? If you want casual sex, stop making men jump through hoops and make up lies for it. If you want a long-term relationship, then find a man who's actually single (not one who's married and supposedly "separated"), and keep your legs shut until you actually know him well enough to know he's the one you want to have kids with, or at least know him well enough to know he's not a psycho or a liar. You poor misguided bastard, short answer yes it is difficult for women to be honest regarding sex. Long answer, given the fact that sex and the promise therein is the best currency most women have dealing w/ men, ergo obfuscation and ambiguity is the best way to maintain the value of said currency. Being honest in regards to whom they will and will not sleep with would rapidly reduce their power in most of their negotiations w/ men(the asymmetry of information is a distinct advantage eg. Women can play a TFT strategy were as men will play a GTFT strategy which can be exploited).

Um, Fedora and Ubuntu are Linux as well. Haven't looked at MeeGo much, but offhand it looks like another Linux distro.
Whooooosh!
