  2. Re:I like this idea, on Regulation That Could Stifle Video Over the Net? · · Score: 1

    Just because you saw it done doesn't mean it was legal. The liquor age is 21 in every state in the US including Louisiana. Feel free to show me otherwise. Here's a link to a pdf with the laws. http://www.atc.rev.state.la.us/docs/legal/law.pdf

    While the laws that either allow or ban minors from bars vary greatly from not only state to state but even city to city in this United States. NO WHERE including Louisiana or even in the French Quarter in NOLA can a 15-16 legally get a drink. The minimum drinking age is 21 in Louisiana and everywhere else in the US. It was 18 when I went to LSU but the MADD bunch screwed that up. There is one exception to this. Church.

  4. Re:Not the right approach on What Silicon Valley Can Do For Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    I still think the US should simply pull it's military out of the world and make peace and free trade instead of trying to employ everyone with FUD and wars. It's so much cheaper and simpler.

    Jimmy Carter tried that '77-'80. It didn't work well at all.

  6. Re:Valuable metals? on Closer to Deducing the Origin of the Moon · · Score: 1

    Let's keep in mind that if there were a cheap way to mine and ship any of the metals back from the moon the increase in supply would reduce the price of the metals.

  10. At least your 5th grade science grade is safe. on IAU Rules Pluto Still a Planet · · Score: 1

    I'm glad they made this ruling. Think if they hadn't how many of our elementry school science grades would have to be changed because our project grades would have been changed from B- to F.

    Most body armor that police wear these days is made up of multiple layers of Kevlar that do indeed stop most bullets. They often also have a ceramic plate in the center of the chest area to add extra protection and spread the impact to a larger area.

    Isn't it a free web hosting site? Wouldn't having a web page help kids to be creative on their own? I would think this would be a great help.
    Have you ever looked at a MySpace page? I have never seen anything that could be called creative on one.

    Not according to people who should know a lot more about this than me.

    An Ounce, a lid, or an O. Z. is the basic Imperial chunk sliced off a pound. If you are in a touring band, or are a die-hard pothead, this is the bag you usually carry home. If you are carrying home more than an ounce, odds are you are unloading part of it on your friends at a reasonable profit, or so low-profile and secluded that you can sit in your underwear and slam down bong hits in the living room without being concerned that a team of ninja commandos will at any minute kick in your door and cavity search you. (But I digress.) An ounce of weed can cost anywhere from sixty to two-hundred dollars or more, depending on all the usual factors that regulate weed-commerce. It could easily cost more or less, but we are here as a general source of information and not the omniscient guru of weed prices. Again, it is a matter of supply and demand, and value vs. worth.

    Possession is a felony in all states I believe. It most ceratinly is in CA.

    According to this site possession of small amounts of pot isn't a felony in California.

    To quote:
    Possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor under California Health and Safety Code Section 11357. Possession of one ounce (28.5 gms) or less is punishable by a maximum $100 fine; jail time is possible for larger amounts or for hashish, which is an optional felony ("wobbler").
