Because there's nothing I like better than opening my window on a nice spring evening and having to listen to the honking of car/truck horns, the accompanying smell of exhaust, people yelling up and down the street, drunk staggering about and talking to themselves at 2 in the morning and people who think it's acceptable to have a party on the street a 4 AM.
Maybe you like to keep your windows closed every day of the year, but there are those of us who like to breathe relatively clean air and not have to deal with inconsiderate slobs who think it's their right to do what they want, whenever they want, without consideration for those around them.
Between the city allowing illegals to roam free and police attempting to (or succeeding) erase encounters with the public, there isn't really a reason to visit.
Or maybe they didn't have their cameras where the looting was taking place. If they only had one crew it would be difficult under the circumstances for them to report it happening.
The did report on, and show, the body found in the burning car and showed pictures of blacks protecting white-owned businesses.
As to Brown, no sympathy. As the evidence showed, what some initially reported was completely false and even made up. He was hardly the saint people tried to make him out to be.
The problem with the NY Post article is their reporting (obviously). Throughout their rant they kept referring to comments by the reporters saying "most of the protests were peaceful".
Most of something means not all of something. The fact that there were burnings and shootings doesn't negate the commentary. If 75% of a group of people don't riot or loot, then that is most of the people.
While there were those who chose to perpetuate the stereotype of blacks burning and looting businesses, that doesn't negate the fact that most people were protesting peacefully.
Not if we're calling out other countries who use torture. If we say we got information through the use of torture, then any country can claim the same thing and we can't say squat.
So either we condemn torture and call out those who do it, or we do it ourselves and admit that torture is acceptable.
the 3,500-year-old Senator Tree in Florida, was burnt to the ground by some kids doing meth inside the hollow of the tree, despite it being fenced off and inside a park. , . ..
The conclusion to this part of the discussion is as follows:
Leonard: Unless, Superman matches her speed and decelerates.
Sheldon: In what space, sir, in what space? She's two feet above the ground. Frankly, if he really loved her, he'd let her hit the pavement. It would be a more merciful death.
So you subscribe to Sheldon Cooper's diatribe about Superman trying to catch a falling Lois Lane. For reference:
No, no let's assume that they can (i.e. men can fly). Lois Lane is falling, accelerating at an initial rate of 32ft per second, per second. Superman swoops down to save her by reaching out two arms of steel. Ms. Lane, who is now traveling at approximately 120 miles per hour, hits them, and is immediately sliced into three equal pieces.
I found the following related to the above quotes. The first one I couldn't find anything in context, only that Bush supposedly said it, and the second one is part of the the Constitution being just a piece of paper quote which was false. As to the rest. . .
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." George W. Bush - Link
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." - George W. Bush - Link
"You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on." - George W. Bush - Link
"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." - George W. Bush - Link
At least with Office XP you don't have deal with the huge flaw in Word where it insists on displaying two pages side by side on the screen rather than one page at a time.
Not being able to see one page without shifting around screen resolution and zoom levels is inexcusable, yet Microsoft apparently feels usability is far down the list of things it needs to worry about.
If we sent illegal aliens home rather than coddling them and giving them amnesty despite breaking the law, disease infection wouldn't be an issue, would it?
Why should I have to pay for rehab for a drunk? They're the ones who couldn't control themselves. As I said in the beginning, if they have money to buy alcohol they have money to pay for their own treatment. In fact, this would address two issues: they would have to go to rehab or face jail and by spending money on rehab they'd have less money to spend on purchasing alcohol.
Why is it my responsibility to use my money to get them to take care of a problem they created? Does personal responsibility not enter into the equation or should we keep coddling people who have shown they have no regard for anyone but themselves?
Amazon had revenues over the last twelve months of roughly $75 Billion
And yet they still lost money and have been for at least the last 2 years (possibly 3 once this years numbers come out).
If Amazon is having losses because of their upgrades (such as this warehouse stuff), then this might pay off down the line. However, if they're losing money because they're over extended, not so good.
I distinctly remember after the crash there were comparisons between the way ambulance service is done in this country and how it is done in (most of) France.
Here, the general rule is scoop and go whereas in France the idea is perform treatment on the spot then get the person to a hospital.
This difference was used to explain why she died (bled out from internal injuries). The idea was, and as others on here have already commented, had she been taken directly to a hospital she had a better chance of survival than being held at the scene for nearly two hours while they worked on her.
While I would agree on some of your early points, have you seen the xenophobia in Japan? A white person who speaks the language fluently can't even rent a place.

It's my understanding there are places called morgues where fingers could be readily obtained.

Yeah, drugs are cool. Thanks a lot rejects.

If someone can reasonably live without power and can find a better use for a grand or two per year, hey, more power (no pun intended) to 'em!
Let me rephrase this:
If someone can reasonably live without healthcare and can find a better use for several grand per year, hey, more power (no pun intended) to 'em!
Sounds about right.
Considering we just had an Eagle Scout get plastered by a train, I don't think lasers will do any better of a job.

No, it doesn't work because then the page is set to the left of the screen.
What I and thousands of others want is for a single page, centered on the screen, just the way it used to be before Office 2010 came out.
Without fiddling with your zoom level or screen resolution, this cannot (currently) be done.
At least with Office XP you don't have deal with the huge flaw in Word where it insists on displaying two pages side by side on the screen rather than one page at a time.

Sort of like large portions of FOSS software.

but if it just ends up with a bunch of drama queens at work, it will end up with a worse environment for everyone.
So like large portions of the nearly all-male programming community as it exists today?
So essentially anyone can do whatever they want, regardless of the consequences, knowing full well someone else gets to pick up the tab.
Just keep taking from everyone else so someone doesn't have to be an adult and take responsibility for their actions.
Got it.

What does work for DUI cases is to provide access to rehab clinics
If they have money to drink they can afford to pay for their own rehab. The taxpayers shouldn't have to shell out anything.

As I said in a previous article on the same subject, just hire Bubba and his friends to take target practice on any drone anywhere near an airport.
Problem solved.
We have always been told electronic voting is quick, secure and completely error free so there must be something else going on.
Therefore, it is inconceivable that these votes were not counted.
