Done properly, while asking the right sort of questions, torture works perfectly well. Especially if you keep torturing them until their story remains consistent. It's hard enough to build elaborate lies against interrogation alone, adding severe pain and mental anguish makes it impossible. That being said, just picking up an average Joe off the street and torturing them won't get you anything useful, because you don't know enough to ask the right sort of questions.
Nooo, it has the side effect of possibly maybe sort of preventing some income from manifesting in the first place, but also possibly maybe generates income that wouldn't have occurred in the first place.
Point to that knowledge please. No, seriously, explain to me where this nugget of information was unearthed so we can distribute it to the world. Because quite frigging obviously you've found direct evidence of something no one else has been able to.
Well, given that homosexuality is not illegal and punishable by death in the US, and the murderers are in general brought to justice, I'd say a fuck of a lot less than in many islamic countries today. As to the iraq issue, my sandbox analogy
Imagine one day you're at college taking a class on world politics. One day your professor decides to provide an empirical experiment of why public opinion tends to be misinformed and just plain wrong on world affairs. Your professor sets up 4 pretty large sandboxes two inches deep(each sayyy, the size of a ball pit at Mcdonalds but relative to what they are meant to represent), shaped like the countries of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria.
These sandboxes are monitored by a set of cameras, but the cameras turn off for a set time every hour, and there are random blackouts as well. Each sandbox gets a person in it. The guy in Lebanon's sandbox is the guy in Syria's sandbox bitch. The guy in the Iranian sandbox doesn't like the guy in the iraqi sandbox, but hates you even more. Ditto to the guy in the Syrian sandbox. The guy in the Lebanon sandbox may have an opinion, but it doesn't matter.
The sand in each of the sandboxes is black silica, with some light brown sand as well. The guy in the Iraq sandbox has some dark brown sand, sayyy, 500 grains. He has a bunch of containers and small tarps to cover his activity with the containers. The other guys also have a bunch of tarps and containers.
You are given access to the cameras for 6 days. At the end of that time period you will be allowed to look for the dark brown grains of sand. However, you will have one hand tied behind your back, and sifting through the sand itself you have to move one grain at a time with a pair of tweezers. Oh, and you can only search the Iraq shaped sandbox physically. The other sandboxes only get the Mark I eyeball look over.
How fucking likely do you think it is you'll find more than one grain of dark brown sand in the Iraq shaped sandbox?
Now, what was that about the intel being wrong again?
Well, let's see, the original 10 commandments differentiate between murder and killing. As in, it's Thou shall not murder, not, Thou shall not kill. There is a rather large difference between the two. Deliberate targeting of civilians is murder under both israeli and international law, whereas killing of enemy combatants with the occasional civilian death is in fact not. Ergo, I'm thinking the jews in the IDF are in the clear, as would any christians in the IDF be, since I assume there are some. Moreover, when looking at the actual death rates between israeli and palestinian noncombatants, there's a very interesting anomaly. Take the anomaly out, and more israeli civvies have died than palestinian ones.
What right does Washington have to tax a product sold worldwide? What right do they have to cause a price increase for everyone else? A corporate tax is nothing more than a sales tax hidden to keep the populace from blowing their lids.
It would have worked with Cuba a long time ago, but Fidel was smart. He didn't try all that hard to stop refugees from leaving. This means that the potential revolutionaries that were willing to do something, did something and left, thus leaving a dearth of bodies for the revolution.
Actually, he was aquitted in the criminal trial basically because Chewbacca lives on Endor. Or because the jury was too fucking stupid to realize that a custom-fitted leather glove WILL NOT fit on your hand if you put a latex glove on first. Take your pick.
The overhead on medicare is 1/3 that of private practice because private practices can't use cash accounting to tabulate their worth. All government agencies use cash accounting, even though they force most businesses to use accrual
Let's see, the NHS is slowly collapsing in Britain like a rather majestic but poorly made soufflé. France's system can't be in a much better state. And the soviet union collapsed entirely like a termite-eaten house.
Given that the drilling process heats the ice cores as well as introducing fluid and forcing them through other chemical and physical changes it immediately makes any atmospheric measurements taken from them null and void. http://folk.uio.no/tomvs/esef/ESEF3VO2.htm
Outside of the hard sciences, the amount of leftist bias, not liberal, cause a liberal would actually believe in freedom of speech, in US universities, and even in the hard sciences much of the time, is fucking appalling. Hmm, I think that's my most horrid run-on sentence ever.
Yeah, emergency situations created by government regulation, followed by deregulation which favored cronies of the government, followed by reregulation. It's worked out pretty fucking well so far.
Considering the fact that the population of California continues to rise, your are going to have to install new infrastructure anyway, so you might as well bite the bullet now and build the shit. Rather than give the government any more control over your lives.
At max, less than 12 billion dollars. Whereas the Brits with their NHS, are cutting back. Why, because there's no accountability(an inevitability when dealing with all things nanny state) and because there's not enough money.
Why isn't Alyx Vance a little husky? Maybe because the lack of extremely processed and fortified nutrition combined with the fact that she runs around 24/7 means that with a normal metabolism, she wouldn't be a little husky.
Given that the quote was 'essential liberty'. which I don't believe driving on government maintained roads at the speed you want to qualifies as, the point is moot.
Guns are certainly technology. For instance, I doubt that most on these boards could tell you why 6.8 is superior to both 7.62 and 5.56 and the significance of that.
Really? Let's see. Thompson:
"Parents need to be empowered to protect their children from inappropriate matter, whether on TV, in video games, or on the computer. And we must do all we can to fight the explosion of child pornography over the Internet." Well, the child pornography thing is good, as long as one doesn't go overboard, and as for the first sentence that can be taken several different ways. Firstly, it could just be him telling parents to take fucking responsibility of their children. Or it could be in support of the current rating system, with which one can currently pretty much restrict children's activities. As for pro-tech statement, why? They're not running for congress. They won't be making policy, and without the line-item veto, they are restricted to using the veto sparingly. Or to grind congress to a halt, which really isn't that bad of a thing now that I think about it. So any pro tech statement they make will either be vote sucking platitudes that are irrelevant, or declarations to create new government agencies, which we really don't fucking need.

The point was they are orders of magnitude less important than they were, except for the last.

Ah, but anything else would be racial profiling, and we can't have that.

I feel sorry for all the other Jack Thompsons out there myself.

Because of course volcano activity is perfectly consistent and NEVER varies across decades or centuries.

Unless, of course, you live in Chicago. In which case it's almost mandated.
Probably not Wii Boxing with the gain turned all the way down either.
