No, while schools don't throw every kid who assaults another kid in jail, there are punishments for it. The problem is that the punishment for the victim is equal to the punishment for the aggressor. The chronic aggressors don't care about the punishment, and thus it is not a deterrent. Thus, the victims are in a worse situation than if the schools had in fact abdicated any responsibility. The bully now has the weight of the schools authority to add to his own violence to abuse the victim.
95% of dog owners are terribly abusive to their dogs and a danger to other people around them. We should not be encouraging irresponsible people to be arming themselves with self firing weapons.
More likely, the burglar would not bother waiting 20 minutes, which increases the chances that someone will see them, notice them, and report them to the police. Instead, they would just break into the house next door that doesn't have security alarm stickers in the window.
Actually they are. The funny thing is that in this case, they are correct. Having known several burglars, they universally say that they would just move to the next house if the one they were considering looked like it had an alarm.
This is the correct answer. The fact is that no home is going to be made so secure that it can't be robbed. Even if you have steel doors with reenforced deadbolts, and steel bars over all your windows, a $40 battery operated reciprocal saw will take you right through the wall. If you don't have bars on your sliding glass door, a free rock will get you in. Homes are simply insecure.
From the other side, I would say that you are wrong. I have known several burglars, and all of them agree that home security systems are effective. If they see a house has an alarm, they simply move to the next house.
Home security systems are like door locks. They are useless keeping out someone determined, but are pretty effective at making your house more bother than it is worth for a burglary.
Home security systems don't need better remotes because most people don't use ir remotes to access their home security systems, and most burglars don't 'case' houses before robbing them.
Not nearly as devastating, but we should be able to expect a large outbreak of chicken pox in the adult population. The vaccine has to not offer lifelong protection. So, we are protecting a generation of children from a highly contagious disease, but let them become vulnerable as adults.
Preferable would be to have government put in conduit similar to that used for sewer lines. Then rent out access to the lines to anyone willing to pay for access. Current providers could upgrade their lines at a fraction of the current costs. New players could enter the market at a reasonable rate, and businesses could get dedicated lines between offices. Municipalities know how to bury and maintain pipes. Let them do what they do well.
That is why psychologists would encourage "mass hysteria". Once it reaches critical mass, it stops being non-normal, starts being normal, and the in the blink of an eye, the victims are cured of their delusions.
Or, they are delusional, but since that particular type of delusion is common and generally not harmful, everyone just ignores it. Any psychiatric disorder definition that would require the disorder be diagnosed as part of it's symptoms is worthless.
While your example is valid for that case, it is an extreme example. More likely, there would be unusual behavior that would lead the delusional person to believe their neighbor was in the witness protection program. It might be something as silly as the neighbor looking like a character from a fictional TV program that looks like their neighbor. In this case, the person is still likely delusional, but the belief isn't spontaneous. Their reason is just dismissed.
I'm not arguing who is delusional, but your definition leaves much to be desired. A similar example would be that your neighbor believes that their dog has human level intelligence and speaks to them. Delusional or not?
You must have had your head in the sand. The "lack of professionalism" as you call it has been with the tech industry from the beginning as paid for much of the early data centers that "professional" internet based companies relied on to get started. We saw the same kind of moaning when people started finding out that their favorite websites were being hosted in data centers built for porn.
It doesn't matter if the girl tells a sexist joke or not. The men don't become sexist or not based on what the girl did. The problem is not one of tit for tat. The problem is one of holding men in general to a set of standards that you do not hold women to. When the men at the Python conference made their jokes, they didn't know that Adria Richards had been publicly posting gay penis jokes. The fact that she did called out her hypocrisy, but if she had not made a stink about the forking joke the men told, no one would have had a problem with her jokes. Anyone complaining would have been ridiculed. Even after her penis jokes were pointed out, she still received huge support in her sexist attack on the men.
This is how misandry frequently gets played. It is how all forms of discrimination get played. Hold one group to a standard and punish them for activity that other groups get a free pass on.
No, it happens ofter the fact. Of course it shouldn't need to be Tim Cook and Josh Sapan, but at the end of the day, Apple has access to every level of AMC, right up to Sapan. You also didn't read thoroughly. As stated before, the way Apple handles it if AMC says no is:
He can then further explain that if they don't rectify the problem by either refunding the money or supplying the rest of the season, AMC will no longer be welcome to sell their shows in Apple's store.
Sure I did, but then she talks to her friends and they talk to their friends like a Fabrege Organics commercial
Most women are going to be less concerned about their credit card being stolen than a video of them getting buggered on their couch. It is a lot easier to correct the first problem too.
No it wouldn't. It would just require Apple to tell AMC that if they pull this kind of trick, they will not be able to sell anything in their store. No micro-management involved.
Once Wal-Mart has been informed that the food is tainted, they most certainly are responsible for continuing to sell it. Beyond that, for anyone who had previously purchased the product, Wal-Mart would be the place they would go to return the product for a refund. Of AMC decided to start uploading and selling hard core porn from their account, you can be sure that Apple would step in and put a stop to it. Apple would use the rational that they are protecting their customers and their own reputation. Apple has set up a system where they have taken responsibility for what they sell. They have sold their products and services with the understanding that Apple has a 'curated' store. That means they are more responsible than someone like E-Bay.
Not all lawsuits are created equal. While I wouldn't hold Safeway responsible for tainted Tylenol when the tainting happened at the manufacturing plant, I most certainly would expect Safeway to refund my money on that Tylenol, and once Safeway is notified of the problem with Tylenol, continuing to sell it makes them fully liable, even here in the US.

Sure, but where would the government find people who know the subject, and are experts in the field of teaching?
I agree. Music is like many things. It is fine is moderation. The current mentality is to make it a defining aspect of ones life. It is unhealthy.

I actually didn't catch that until you called it out. Bravo to JeffAtl!

I can go with that.

While video game consoles might be 'guy stuff', having a camera in your living room very quickly becomes wife stuff.
At the end of the day, time will tell whether MS has shot themselves in the foot or not with this one.

And Apple can ban the seller.

I would guess that Apple's liability would extend about as far as a refund. Luckily, that is all the guy is suing for.
