This kid was on a school trip, supervised by school faculty. No, he was not; he was in the same place that other supervised students were, but he himself was not under school supervision.
IANAL but I'm pretty sure "In Loco Parentis" applies. That is the question here, whether the school has 24/7 jurisdiction over its students, because the current definition of in loco parentis certainly doesn't cover that.
The basic issue isn't really about free speech or the coveted Right to Take Drugs-it's about the ability of the school district to maintain an educational environment during school time. No, it is about the ability of the school district to enforce their standards outside of school time. Primary education is compulsory in this country; if children are compelled to enroll in schools that may restrict their speech off campus, their free speech is obviously being infringed.
"Outright theft" tends to comprise theft rather than non-theft. Of course, this piracy indirectly deprives others of resources, but then again, so does capitalism.
Hmm.. I sure haven't extensively studied the founding fathers of the US, but it's my understanding that they were quite driven to establish liberty, and not simply driven by greed or a lust for power. If you read what they wrote about (and argued amongst themselves) it becomes quite apparent they weren't just a bunch of greedy bastards looking to make themselves more rich and powerfull.
I wouldn't necessarily call a desire for prosperity that was being inhibited by foreign rule "simply driven by greed", but the liberty of the Founding Fathers was not the liberty of today, not only because it excluded blacks and women, but the poor as well. Most states had property qualifications both for voting and for holding office, the paper money movement was seen as one of the greatest threats, and Hamilton even called Jefferson a traitor to his class for supporting public education. Many of the Framers stood to gain a great deal from the Constitution both in the assurance that debts would be repaid and that it would facilitate mercantile interests. There is nothing necessarily nefarious about it, and many of the things that benefitted the Founders and Framers directly were also for the good of the country: however, to recognize the economic interests underpinning the American genesis does not even require one to look at ulterior motives so much as what early influential Americans actually openly said about their motives. Although a bit dated now, Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States of America is the seminal work that sought to historically describe the motivations behind the Constitution independently of conventional assumptions.
My point is that pieces of paper don't have any value in them, either. Obviously duplication such as in TFA threatens scarcity, which is why action is being taken against it.
Obviously the U.S. Government is more stable than Linden Labs, but on the other hand, Linden Labs has a greater amount of control over their currency. Sure, somebody could change a few lines of code and crash the Second Life economy, but Hu Jintao could just as easily make a few phone calls to send the U.S. dollar into a pretty steep dive. Maybe people will stop buying things in Second Life, but then again maybe people will stop buying U.S. debt. Frankly, I'm not even sure which is more likely.
Morocco had already begun work years ago on a nuclear power plant at Tan-Tan as a pilot project for a possible large-scale nuclear desalination project. They were primarily received support from China; however, Chinese interest in assisting Morocco floundered, and since Hu Jintao came to power, he has shown no desire to complete it.
Actually, a much better term for them is "Maghreb," seeing as they aren't all Arabs, and seeing as there are plenty of non-Maghrebi Arabs. Also, "Arabic" is a language, not an ethnicity.
The Maghreb states comprise western North Africa, that is, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Mauritania.
This dividing of states into blue and red is complete and utter rhetorical bullshit, and it irritates me when people use it as if it is something concrete and real.
You don't prove logic by testing it because logic cannot be proved. And there are certainly areas where philosophy has given way to science when empirical evidence provided explanations for things previously unexplainable by science, such as astronomy and evolution. In the future, philosophy of mind will become a science, too.
I'm not sure that I'd call string theory philosophy, but I wouldn't dismiss such a categorization immediately, either. It isn't just an as-of-yet untestable proposition, it is a framework that makes fundamental ontological claims.
The relevance of the Crusades today is practically nil compared to things that still have a very real impact like the legacy of British and French imperialism in the Middle East, or U.S. foreign policy in the last century.
The whole appeal of facebook was that it selectively disseminated information. People put things up because of its limitations. The newsfeed essentially shifted facebook away from the model that made it popular. People were upset because they liked the idea behind the original facebook, and for a bit it appeared that the most popular implementation of that idea was gone.
The Boston Tea Party was not terrorism, nor was shooting military personnel. You are correct, however, that many colonists killed Tory civilians. And you know what? They were terrorists, and the colonial governments should have prosecuted them. There is nothing inconsistent about opposing terrorism at the time of the American Revolution while still supporting the Revolution.

So, this is capitalism, and it is indirect theft.

Indeed, the value of such goods is based only on the recognition of others that they are valuable, unlike the case with, say, money. Wait...
"Epistemically" is easier to say, though.

Actually Douglas Engelbart invented the GUI with the oNLine System.

Has it perhaps occurred to you that special relativity itself is in fact rather esoteric?

If the local news is bought out and there is no local news to watch, how will people watch the local news?
Discreetness is the better part of networking

Cut him some slack; his father was killed by non-pulmonic consonants.

I can dismiss your claim because it has been tampered with by His Noodly Appendage.
You're going to need a positronic phase inverter to make it work.
