Well, you see, there was this batshit crazy thing we tried called Prohibition. Anyway, after that particular collective insanity subsided you were left with a shitload of government interference in selling liquor, and in a few states the government is the only legal distributor of liquor.
The Brits are much more inept at doing anything with the data they collect than giving it to the US and Interpol. Whereas the Chinese are much more likely to attempt to do something malicious with the capability.
Actually, they sold most of that to Japan quite recently. And the Japanese won't do anything except possibly force us to forgive all their debt because otherwise we'd stop protecting them.
Actually, the amount of computer surveillance is on the computing power side probably biased greatly towards the US on a per capita basis. However, in terms of human analysts looking at the data, China most certainly wins handily. And of course, the more humans come in contact with the data, the more opportunity for abuse, even when normalized for the difference in laws.
That's because they're in VANCOUVER. Vancouver sees on average MAYBE a bit more snow than Seattle, on their lucky years. Only an idiot would host the winter games in Seattle and expect plenty of snow, but because you've crossed the border into Canadia they magically expect Vancouver to be covered in the white shit.
Assuming it begins right after the last one left off, the movie's going to be him going to the Underverse and slaughtering everyone he can get his hands on to rescue Jack.
Cube was cool because of the NOVELTY factor, not because it was a particularly good movie. As for CoR, the director's cut is much better than the theatrical version, mainly because they have quite a bit of the cut exposition that connects everything together. Concerning Dances with Smurfs, it had plenty of social commentary and hard science, it's just that the social commentary aspects were completely at odds with the science of the movie. After all, if the unobtanium were really that valuable, they would have said fuck it and just started mining the stuff in the giant floating mountains while they waited for a tactical nuke to be smuggled in to wipe out the natives living near the tree. Instead they ignore the giant fucking deposits floating around in the sky to complete that wanker Cameron's vision.
While McCarthy's investigations were quite vile and unconsitutional, they were not witch hunts. A witch hunt implies looking for something that's not there. Oddly enough, most of the evidence that came out after the fact confirmed a great deal of those he investigated to in fact be communists.
I wholly agree with you! It's a liberal fraud designed to rid us of our guns, too. Just because bullets are made of elemental lead, the environmental effects of which are negligible, the Marxist Socialist commie pinkos think they can steal our god-granted right to bear arms
Conspiracy theory A requires you to believe the government has the ability to magically disguise the major construction work and control runs needed to set up the supposedly controlled demo of the WTC from the people working in the building, supposedly done within the period of less than one year. Conspiracy theory B merely requires you to believe a wing of the government is trying to behave as it's first principles dictate, with any actual conspiracy merely being vocal or in paper form. No need to actually do anything physical.
There's plenty of real science being done, but it's being done by a bunch of rubes who assumed that all their initial data could be trusted since it came from government sponsored agencies.
Eh, the only cities that the short little fucker over to the west could reach which would be worthwhile would be in California, or possibly Vegas. So I say let him. Leftist population control and object lesson why the leftists were wrong on this issue, all rolled into one. Iran won't get that far because the Israelis WILL take that fucker out if necessary.
Yes, because electing a woman who would allow a popo who raped his 20 month old niece with a hot curling iron off scot free for a political favor from a relative is someone we want in the Senate
Yes, and as soon as we're all transferred to a universe in which that's actually paid attention to, it'll be all good. Until that day however, given the reality we actually have to work with, things are kicked back under the various amendments ignoring the 9th and 10th. This may change, assuming of course that the P&I clause wins out in MacDonald v Chicago.
This post makes it extremely evident that you didn't skim or read the opinion. Or go to any in depth legal blog and read their opinion of the opinion. The limits on direct contributions are still in place.
No SHIT Sherlock. Of course McCain is disappointed. They more or less told him his legislation was crap. Which it was. McCain Feingold was an obviously unconstitutional piece of legislation.
As for your assertion on the corporate personhood issue, you're not very good at this. The thing came up during oral arguments, where the Chief Justice said "The court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations. We are all of the opinion that it does." which would directly refute your claim that such an idea was made up out of thin air by a court reporter. Moreover, Conkling himself, one of the people that drafted the 14th amendment, argued before the court in 1885, that the word person in the 14th amendment was meant to refer to legal persons as well as natural persons. Moreover, it was a matter of settled common law centuries before that.

Is it any less abhorrent when it's two girls?
What the hell are you drinking? Johnnie Walker Blue Label?

Prof Gates was perfectly warranted. Had he not blown his top there never would have been an altercation at all.

Yes, yes it will, and the packet's will be cracked within a month, thus defeating the entire purpose.
The proper acronym is TWATS unless you want to add stuff every time.
It only prevents 0-day piracy if the game isn't that good. All the big games are cracked before/on the release day.

So you're that asshole who stops a car length in front of the white line and doesn't trigger the pressure plate half the time. Thanks asshole.

You just describe high school. At least in the US.
That would be GED actually. They would only take the SAT and ACT if they wanted to get into a non-community college.
