Businesses should be allowed to discriminate against black people. We have freedom of association in this country. That also includes the right not to associate. What are you so worried about anyway? No business that did this would keep it's doors open for very long. They would be boycotted out of existence.
That small business will be boycotted out of existence, as soon as black people move into the area, which won't happen because of the current population's unwillingness to sell homes to blacks....
The idea that you have the right to non-association is nonsense. It would create segregated pockets within the country.
Its a perfectly reasonable response to say "you aren't going to drive off while I am running your plates?"
Like the guy is supposed to know what the cop is doing?
That's why the cop informed him, rather than leaving it unsaid.
That wasn't even an officer as we know them. That was Military Police. I doubt your average street cop has that level of training in estimating speeds. Even if they did, it's not a power to trust them with, as MPs are pulling over, well, other military men, and are much less likely to abuse their power than a cop, who is pulling over average, unarmed citizens with whom they have no inherent bond.
Then again, those earning 32k and under can hardly afford to have a roof over their head and eat, while those earning 66k+ likely have some disposable income.
And look at the rest of Europe... o wait all those countries don't support your theory. The reason Greece and California are in the toilet has more to do with people not paying enough taxes to pay for the entitlements.
Yes, it would be a part of the whole selection process.
The real problem with the numbers that go extinct is that when some species are removed from existence, the whole ecosystem goes crazy because it's not built to operate at the sudden pace that we're pushing it at. Plus, we're hitting nearly every ecosystem with rapid change at once, which is taking a somewhat delicate system and playing Jenga with it.
No, it's not. You had a point in saying it's only renewable if it's planned properly, but renewable over the lifetime of trees is much different than renewable over the lifetime of oil. You just can't make new oil in a sustainable way and at a useful pace, whereas with trees it's both possible and relatively easy to do on a short time scale.
Very true, but I think the point was that it at least has the potential to be easily and quickly renewable, whereas oil does not over a reasonable time frame.
The area pictured in the article appears to have no shoulder and a sound barrier nearly right up against the right lane. If you would walk on that, you're pretty damn ballsy and/or stupid.
I would wager that you didn't translate it yourself, which means there's a chance (however small) that the translation is wrong or purposefully changed.
That's not very far fetched. Moon rocks (regolth) contains a vast amount of He3, so the idea for building a robotic moon base is probably to send back minerals sooner or later.
They had better seriously study the effect of large changes to the balance of mass between Earth and the Moon before they start doing some shit like that. If the moon ends up crashing into us OR drifting out in space, we're kinda fucked.
The proportion of people to writers was extremely small. Books were essentially a tool used by the powerful to oppress, from post-Roman society until Guttenberg.
Then you're saying that anything you create should be given out to the public at large immediately, so you don't get to benefit from said creation. Never was there a time that a man didn't get rewarded for their ingenuity, but people like you are trying to redefine the line of progress with an idealistic worldview.
In the ideal world, nobody needs to own anything; everything is done for the benefit of the world. Invent something, everyone benefits.
Here in the real world, people create because they can do something for themselves with it, not because they're trying to help everyone else. There's so little motivation from doing something "for everyone's good" that it's worthless to the creator. If it's worthless to the creator, it won't get created.
This world was based on competition, in case you haven't looked at the natural world; we will stagnate without competition.
Also, you are taking something that you had no role in creating, and have no monetary investment in. You took a copy of it and made your own copy from that. It's not yours, regardless as to whether it's called theft (which it is) or "copying some shit that you have no right to copy".
It doesn't matter that it "should" have 0 effect on their value. It does, because every investor in the stock market sees the piracy numbers and is likely to shy away from companies with higher numbers.

That's impossible. They're talking about a copy made when the game is loaded in to RAM, not a copy made to your hard drive.
All of the news outlets that don't get the bailout, perhaps?

FTFY.

It can only be debunked with a thorough nuclear bombing of the Japanese. :-P
2012 hasn't been thoroughly debunked. It's still 2010. Just wait 2 more years, then it'll be thoroughly debunked.
You learned how to do this from the school's library? Wow.
Just wait until the headline: STUDENT STEALS BOOK ABOUT LIFTING FINGERPRINTS BY LIFTING FINGERPRINTS!

God has thunderbolts and floods; he doesn't need the help of some people throwing rocks. The choice to throw is from their free will.
I would wager that you didn't translate it yourself, which means there's a chance (however small) that the translation is wrong or purposefully changed.
In Jerusalem the danger is rock throwing groups for violators of the sabbath.
....aren't Jews not supposed to do any work, like, you know, picking up and throwing rocks, on the Sabbath?
You can't do it with cheap labor. It takes expensive, advanced machinery
Which you can use the labor to build...
and lots of electric power.
...and you can use the labor to mine up coal, or acquire whatever power sources you happen to have in the country.
Use all the cheap labor from those countries to get it done then.
We have a whole range of technologies designed to make the formerly undrinkable water safe to drink.
