A tourniquet is applied upstream of the wound, to make blood stop flowing to the wound (and therefore stop the blood loss). This is non-reversible and causes loss of the limb.
Sorry, but whoever told you that should get some medical training first.
A regular turniquet is reversible for a while (that's why you should note the time at which the tourniquet was applied). Your extremities can survive without blood flow much longer than your brain can.
I believe this could also be a weapon whose end result would be indistinguishable from death by "natural causes".
Sorry, but no. It would make a very unpractical weapon, if anything.
Consider this: You have to apply the thing to a person's skin, since ultrasound transmission from air to tissue is extremely poor. If you are close enough to apply stuff to someone's skin, there's a myriad of other, much simpler ways of killing the person. Some are even indistinguishable from death by natural causes, and this means that they will not leave massive blood clots in the vitctim's system.
2) the basic unit of society is the citizen. goverment exists to serve that citizen. goverment has no rights to tell a citizen what to do with his / her body. you can take what you want, you can kill yourself, sell yourself, whatever. so long as you do not infringe on another citizen.
Well, if you had been smart, you would have asked the dealer how much of a discount you would get by paying in cash (waving bills in front of his nose occasionally helps. Car dealers are not immune to the "I want it now" effect they usually exploit in their customers, just that for them it is money, not cars), and then done the math.
How do you explain Bush, who is by most measures very conservative?
"Conservative" as in... ? Small government, fiscal discipline ?
Most democrats would disagree with him on 95% of the issues.
Because otherwise, their jobs would be redundant. Also, as a ground rule in politics, you should disagree with anything that you didn't come up with. Why support your competitors ?
if you're not using your phone to communicate with al qaeda, don't worry about it.
What about communicating with someone's business partners, doctors, psychologists, boy- and girlfriends, Alcoholics Anonymous, etc ?
and if the government does misuse the program, then they should get in serious trouble.
Yeah, right. So you're going to go in and slap them with a rolled-up newspaper ? Because that's probably as "serious" as the trouble will get, provided you make it past security.
Learn to survive in the rough.
Learn how to use weapons, small arms and otherwise.
Get on friendly terms with farmers/ food sources.
The currencies will be food/fuel/medical supplies.
Learn basic first aid/little more advanced stuff.
Realize and accept that it will take a literal revolution and war to take back this land.
Sounds like "Terrorism 101" or "Guerilla warfare 101", depending on which side you're on.
Paint the party as a pro science, anti debt, anti theocracy, pro education, pro environment, and pro equal rights for all humans.
Ok. What would happen ? The ~50% of the voters who voted Republican would still vote Republican. The ~50% of the voters who votes Democrat would either vote for the new party, or Democrat. The Republicans win. Good job.
Actually, _why_ hasn't anyone who is Republican ever thought about that ? It would be a sure-fire way to win the elections, no voting machines necessary.
That's a very narrow view of American politics that indicates to me that you either don't understand it very well
Actually, you don't really need to know politics in order to know that if there are two parties, they will become more and more similar as they attempt to attract more voters.
The other question will be whether the "I was just following orders" will hold more water when US war criminals are being tried any better than when the war criminals were German.
"I was just following orders" (or, the more modern, "My orders weren't really clear on this.", "this" being "not torturing prisoners", "not killing random civilians" and so on) is a perfectly good excuse as long as your country doesn't surrender unconditionally.
So who's going to force the US to surrender unconditionally ?
suggests that snakes and primates share a long and intimate history, one that forced both groups to evolve new strategies as each attempted to gain the upper hand.
That's quite far-fetched. Snakes and primates do not strongly compete for the same food source and do not really have a strong predator/prey relationship. In fact, they can get along quite well as long as they stay out of each other's way.
The primates' evolutionary developments might have other, much more direct reasons. Color perception is directly related to gathering food (red and yellow fruit vs. green leaves. Btw, picking strawberries is quite a pain in the ass if you're colorblind). Depth perception is pretty much a necessity when jumping from tree to tree - natural selection manifests quite quickly and painfully here. Being able to perceive movements... well, primates are somewhere in the middle of the road here. They don't perceive ultra-slow movements as well as a prey animal would, nor do they have the ability to perceive quick movements that a pure predator needs.
I'm afraid you are missing a citation (the bible is public domain if you are worried about copyright infringement... quote it in full if you like).
Exodus 21:22
"If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine."
2. Even if their were a biblical reference to killing a fetus,
Exodus 21:22
Oh, and please look that up in a _real_ translation (King James is good), not in the horribly diluted politically correct modern translations.
We should also have mandatory abortions to keep the population growth down, as well as to weed out unwanted handicapped people.
And what do abortions have to do with Christianity again ? The bible clearly states that a killing a fetus is not equivalent to killing a person - the punishment for its destruction is a fine (if anything), not death.
Any country that is referring to "People" more than once in its name ("People's", Re-"public", "demo"-cratic) should not be assumed to have any of the qualities it claims. Referring to "People" three or more times is a pretty sure sign that you're looking at a dictatorship of the worst kind.
Having extensive experience with the M16A2 and played with a few other few auto weapons I can personally say that full auto is good for only one thing: spray and pray.
It's also good for intimidation (*ohmygoshthat'samachinegun!!!!*) and to demonstrate that you're a dangerous lunatic who will not refrain from endangering his surroundings to achieve his goals.

So, foreigners are fair game ?
How does a MECO get the energy to do this ? That would be my first question.
No, no, no, they must be talking about SCO, since nothing Microsoft made ever collapsed, but instead expanded and got bloated to infinity.

That is, as long as the number of "everyone" does not drop.
No. Effects are your movable property (like, a bag or briefcase).
Papers is the key word here. Or in todays language - documents, files, etc.

You're confusing "is" with "is calling itself".
