How about Trayvon's own facebook posting saying he uses the stuff.
Trayvon, in fact, had become a devotee of the druggy concoction known as “Lean,” also known in southern hip-hop culture as “Sizzurp” and “Purple Drank.” Lean consists of three basic ingredients — codeine, a soft drink, and candy. If his Facebook postings are to be believed, Trayvon had been using Lean since at least June 2011.
Whatever! I'm not going out of may way and paying almost $20 to try to get a copy of the speech to watch it. I'm fine spending my time learning about other more interesting parts of American history. In fact, I won't even bother to look for a torrent, just because I couldn't care less!
He was tracking down a criminal drug dealer that was high at the time and tried to sneak up behind him to kill him. Yes, tracking down criminals should be legal, and if they attack you they you can defend yourself. I think anyone who defends that piece of shit should be shot also.
If they don't want his historic speech to be heard by people, then I propose we just forget about him and pretend he never existed. Their precious IP will be worthless if nobody even know who MLK is anymore.
But the vaccines aren't the same as the actual virus. If it were, then the chickenpox vaccine would last a lifetime and not cause the person to lose immunity after 10 years or so. And the flu vaccine that made people who got it more likely to get the swine flu that year. I'm not opposed to all vaccines, I just think there is a benefit to getting the actual disease and limiting the vaccines to the more important ones. It may be small, but vaccines have their own problems and complications up to and including death as well as that weird thing that cheerleader got where you can only talk normally while running and you can only walk normally backwards. If we only let the companies who make these things pay off the politicians to promote these we don't end up with an accurate viewpoint. It's about mitigating unintended consequences. Antibiotics are great and we gave them out like candy to everybody until we figured out what happens when we do that. Antibacterial soaps and sterile environments sound great until you think about what happens when your immune system doesn't have things to fight off, it causes autoimmune diseases and allergies. Sunscreen sounds great, who wants skin cancer. But when you look at the ingredients in the sunscreen, many of them cause cancer. Plus you aren't getting the needed vitamin D that you get from exposure to the sun. Everything has unintended side effects and you need to look for them and balance your decisions with more critical thinking that just following what the advertisements tell you to do.
My wife and I are looking at homeschooling our child as the public schools are just turning into a waste of time. There are a fairly large amount of the "weirdoes" in the homeschooling area. About a quarter to a third of the families are of the highly religious type and are choosing homeschooling for that reason. But the rate of increase in homeschooling is quite high, I don't remember the number my wife said the other day, but it surprised me.
As for the education that the children get, it seems to be pretty good in general. Even when both parents are without a degree, the children are in the 87th percentile. When one of the parents has a degree it jumps up to somewhere around 95th percentile. All this while spending less time that they would need to spend at a public or even private school. You can focus on what they need to understand and move along when they already got it. Or if they just can't grasp a subject yet, come back to it later when their brain has developed further. You can spend time on subjects that they find particularly interesting or relate new things to other topics they like. Group schooling can't give such an individually tailored education like that.
I do think socialization is important. That is why we are part of several meet-up groups. Two of them are home schooling groups. I think this should work to give her a good education and help her be social also. Public school doesn't make one be social anyway. I went to public school and I am not a social person.
How about the vaccines for the diseases that ore just a "bad cold". Rotavirus is just as bad a getting the flu. Or Hep B, a sexually transmitted disease that they vaccinate for a birth. I certainly hope your 3 month old isn't sexually active already. Anything in excess becomes dangerous, even water can kill from water intoxication. But the vaccine proponents and sellers keep adding more of them to the schedule without concern for the safety or effectiveness. You do know that the same number of people get the flu even when that years vaccine was predicted wrong and is ineffective, right? But because it was decreed to be good treatment, no one can do a scientific study to find out if it actually works. Even tetanus isn't a big deal as it can be treated after infection easily.
My question about this plan is how does it stop the water from leaking out the bottom. If they are making a vertical ice wall around the reactor then it does not have a bottom. Wouldn't the radioactive water from the core or the storage tanks that leaks out just seep into the ground and continue to sink until it goes under the wall? It might slow the flow down as you don't have a lot of new groundwater rushing into the area washing the radioactive leaks away. But it seems to be ineffective in the end and just another example of what we have seen from TEPCO through this whole fiasco.
Because having to carry around a helmet makes biking somewhere that much more troublesome. Plus, look up the stats on head injuries and helmet laws. The states that mandate helmets have an increase in critical head injuries. The thinking is that having a helmet makes you feel that you don't need to ride safely any more, since you are protected.
Yes, I realize that the funding came from the queen, thus waas government sponsored. My point was the initiative was from him and not the government. He had to shop around to find the funding. If they had investment groups and things like that he would have tried that way also. I don't think it is that different from SpaceX and his project and investment in that.
How about these states make it illegal for DEA agents to be in the state. And give hunting licences out for anyone wanting to legally kill a DEA agent. I would love to see a state let it's citizens take out the federal agents that come into the state and break the law with such abandon.
That's why they didn't originally make marijuana illegal. They made a law requiring a stamp to possess or sell it. Then they didn't make any stamps, so having it was de facto illegal.
I watched a speech to the space society where he stated this message a bit more clearly, I think. Tyson means the Frontier will be "opened", as in "trail blazed" by the governments. Once you can get a person to Mars, then private industry has much more data to make the calculated risks. Massive uncalculated risk?
It wasn't a government that pushed to find the new world. Columbus had to search for funding for his expedition. Sounds like a commercial endeavor being done by an entrepreneur to me.
Same thing for imperial units, it contributes absolutely nothing in daily living.
Yeah, it's just so easy to get 1/3rd of a meter. What is that then, 33.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333... cm? The number 12 divides evenly by many more amounts than 10 does. And 1/4th also, 25.25 as opposed to an even number of inches. This is the reason 12 and 60 are used in certain measures like feet, time, and degrees.
See from my side, you seem to be the one without a clue. You think that computers are immune to the law. I would say the law is ridiculous and stupid a lot of times and lawyers are scum that just look to twist the words to mean things you didn't want them to mean. But it isn't that hard to understand that we are talking about legal terms and not computer terms.
You think authorization means some technical means. It simply means you are allowed there by the owners. Definition Authorization: Noun -
1. The action or fact of authorizing or being authorized. 2.A document giving permission or authority. So if Craigslist tell you that you are not allowed back to their site, then you are not authorized. It doesn't matter if they have some technical means to try to stop you, you are legally not authorized to be there. The law form of authorization is about your permission to be there. It is different from the technical form of authorization where the computer tries to verify your account and log you in. You could even be legally unauthorized to access a system where your account has not been removed or locked. If you logged into your account you would be breaking the law, even though the computer let you in. See the difference?
Because businesses in a storefront don't have IP addresses
A storefront has a mailing address
don't support HTTP
supports human speech
and don't conform the the W3C specifications
conforms to local regulations and safety codes
I totally agree with you. An internet website absolutley has a right to control who does and does not have access to their website. The point that you just cannot seem to get is that there is a mechanism for asserting that right, and it is called auth. By definition and convention if you don't implement auth you are not making an attempt to control who does and does not enter your "store".
So every grocery store needs to give out key cards to each and every customer so that they would ever have the right to kick someone out if they wanted to in the future? Plus, getting a username and password revoked does not stop me from just signing up with a new username and password. How is that different that changing my IP address? It really didn't do anything to solve the problem of kicking someone out of your business did it? Or maybe you are saying that each and every website needs to verify the persons "Real ID" based on government id and mailing address before they would be given a user account to the site. I think this is much more than most people would want to do to use a site like Slashdot for example.
That is the last time I'm even going to bother entertaining a frigging analogy. If you cannot make your point without one (and you cannot) it is because you have no leg upon which to stand (which you don't, as you will surely see when you try to make one and stick to the point rather than using sleight of hand analogies.)
I see I did use an analogy above with the key cards, but my point about user accounts not stopping people from just making a new account has no analogy for you. Your solution does not solve anything so it is pointless to even make it. If the business does not want you there, then you are not allowed there, it's that simple.

His "juice" was not just juice. It was some sort of drug concoction. And you are right, it wasn't drugs he dealt, it was guns! That's much better!

I don't know, a couple thousand soldiers holding mirrors probably adds up to the equivalent of that skyscraper.

And communications companies won't pay to put up satellites? What world do you live in?
Plus, the people who stand to profit aren't the ones putting their lives on the line!

Space exploration costs alot of money, when the government does it. [fixed that for you]
Just last week I had to defend my farm from wandering waterbears. They even survived from multiple gunshots! They are very tough animals.
Or they just make up a newer more complicated twist to the existing theories to patch the holes in them and continue on as ever before.
