Marriage is a concept - this concept does not and morally should not require anyone's permission. Marriage is a bond between two people, made alone by by those two people, to commit to being together until death. No one should really care whether the government recognizes their marriage or not, its a very personal affair and doesn't require the authorization of anyone to hold true to their commitment.
The problem is only a problem today because wed people have less money taken away from them by the government and so other people want the same respect. Every time the government says "You're not really married, pay us more money!" is kind of like a huge slap in the face. It's a matter of extreme disrespect, because you're telling a person that the bond they wish to make with another human, their choice, is being disrespected.
Marriage in our society is a huge concept that needs to be recognized by society as a commitment between two people, having no bond in the physical or financial worlds, but one of altruism.
If I tell a girl that I would like to be with her forever and she says she would like to be with me forever, and we agree to be with each other forever, and we are with each other forever, then we're married.
SHIT! Most people today who think they're married aren't! The divorce rate is at an all time high! Divorce isn't the "early ending" of a marriage, its just letting the government know that what you told them before isn't true - you weren't together forever.
I use Straight Talk / Net 10 for $45 a month unlimited everything. I also regularly tether my devices to my phone and haven't had any issues. I've heard this service piggybacks on the major network's hardware , but I can't understand why the major networks would allow this - does anyone know?
In Politics you can either wield the sword of truth and transparency which cuts swiftly and efficiently or the shield of lie that both blinds and protects. The shift from truth to lie is like a silent growth of disease till late in blossom it simply can no longer be ignored... a shift from the lie to the truth will likely result in a purging of the leading liars; an ultimate removal of the cancer that quietly has taken hold.
Assange is at great threat. He is one of the most formidable white blood cells to have appeared with the last decade. The disease will react and attempt to adapt, but the knowledge of how he has attacked the lie is in plain sight. Others in mass shall take his place if he is martyred. Perhaps his fall may be the best thing to happen for the truth to take hold again.
Assange is playing the role of Jesus against the corrupt leadership.
Over time many changes occur. The stone is ground down from the forces of nature.
The temperature changes cause expanding and contracting, cycled yearly. The rain beats upon the stone, sadly. The sun drys the stone out, warmly.
It develops sides upon which other stones rest, their sides meeting.
All of the stones scuff, as they move to find a position.
The stones are whittled down over their course, no two scuffs quite the same. All of the stones are unique.
One stone is shaped a certain way, through the changes recently made to it from the world. It fits into the crack an other stone previously occupied, til it was scuffed too, and moved away.
The larger stones sink to the bottom as the smaller stones move upward, similar stones gathering together. Most stones do not fit well, but there are a few that do and find one another, and they come together and sit, for they do not scuff.
One stone's side sits well with the other stone's side, they move as one when there is change.
Some stones are worn faster than others. Some wear very little bit while others wear a lot. Some are worn completely away, never being sharp. Some are broken in half, back to the sand. Then there is one less.
Some stones are pointed. The stone that has a sharp point is less likely to find a place to rest its point. The sharper the stone the less likely it shall sit long with another, for the other stone must have a matching side for such a point, or they shall scuff.
There are many different ways for a sharp side of stone to sit, and many different stones have sides that can match, but are not exposed to the other stone's puzzle-fit side.
Some stones can stand under other stones, providing support, if their exposed sides rest well. Some can fit many exposed sides, though there is none of normal stone that can rest all faces of all stones.
Stones vary in all shapes and sizes. They are all the same stone, from the same earth.
If a stone looks too hard to find a position among its peers it will scuff too much, pushing all away.
Get rid of the video camera and start using your eyes! Or those of a baby sitter. I know I really don't have the first hand experience of a parent. I'm only 20, but when i do have a child I know myself, or my wife, or a baby sitter (one that I feel I could trust with my own life, since she's trusted with something much more important than my own life) will be near that child constantly! And if you can't afford to take care of your kids with a baby sitter or have enough time to take care of them yourself, then you probably shouldn't have any until you can. And if that means never, then that means never.
If you bring someone into this world, make sure they're going to be well socialized moralized and educated, otherwise you're just making more problems for the rest of us. And more problems for your entire future lineage.
I was in Santa Cruz at the time this occurred. All data systems including the credit card system, cell phone network and all land lines (incl calling down the street) were unusable.
I heard through the grape vine that it was quite likely an AT&T employee that cut the cable in 4 different places. AT&T is attempting to seriously lower benefits and wages for all of its employees, in this area at least.
At the time I thought the feds had just cut communications nationwide and were beginning the hostile gun collection sweep and check point set up! Another day I suppose.
I'm having a hard time to think to such a thing could so easily happen. Isn't there any line redundancy? Why don't we have fiber running along the side of every highway?
You're more than welcome to sit around and submit to tyranny, but once they've taken your weapons, moved on to a society without money and branded a bar code on your arm for all access to daily necessities, you might as well consider yourself a slave. You now belong to them, and they can and will do with you as they please.
You should learn to enjoy all of life, both the bad and the good times. Both the pain and the pleasure. Don't seek the bad, but enjoy it when it occurs.
And when I say enjoy it, I mean have fun defending OUR freedom from OUR enemies, brother.
Lincoln violated the constitution numerous ways and suspended habeas corpus! Lincoln authorized the military to arrest and indefinitely detain anyone suspected of aiding the rebels.
Lincoln helped destroy the constitution and make the US government what it is today!
Once again, the ends don't justify the means. I am pro freedom and anti prejudice. Abraham Lincoln helped enslave us, and because the north won, they made him look great all through the rest of history.
Because of Abraham Lincoln, no state is allowed to recede for any reason.
Perhaps the earth has its own identification, as do all sources of gravity, and we are able to maintain relative location merely by declaring "We will be at this point from the earth (wherever the earth is)".
Everything in this universe is defined by what it is related to (location/color/ANYTHING), so this is a declaration of where you are related to a gravity well, which is generally the single point we're looking for that exists in the dead center of all complex things like our planet, or our sun, or our galaxy's black hole. Time is even changed around black holes. Are black holes holes in time or in space? Is there a difference?
Your post made zero sense. Thank you for proving yourself a retard. The funny thing is, you got a +1 without even making a point in there. It already is being implemented, bought and sold. Some fine examples: iPhones, Nintendo DSes
Have you guys been living in a cave? Touchscreen IS on the market NOW and IS in a MAINSTREAM PRODUCT. The iPhone has a touchscreen and is the #1 phone on the market! Though it really isn't a phone, more so a hand held computer with a phone as a second thought.
Troll the tech all you want, but it truly disturbs me that none of you can see the potential.
Most of the people with iPhones (the ones I've personally met with) are over 60 years old. They LOVE it and can use it much more easily than any key input system! You say it complicates the tech when there is practical proof all around us that for people who have no idea how to use a computer, and some that have NEVER used a computer, can EASILY use a touchscreen interface as if it was second nature! It may not work as well for something like coding and typing up huge documents, it most definitely has huge market potential for less savvy users and non-business users. Yeah, newer tech is going to be more expensive. That's pretty fucking obvious. Don't buy it if you don't find it useful, but keep an open mind on the product, because it does have A Place.
For the longest time I had believed/. was place of intelligent technological discussion, it seems like it's turning into a bunch of little 4channers. Time to move on to a more intelligent site.
Playing chess with someone sitting at the table across from you would be amazing on a touchscreen. Never again would the pieces "accidentally" fly!
There are TONS of uses for touchscreen tech, the most obvious one to me is multiple-person single-machine input, which the current system severely lacks.
Benefits with purely touchscreen inputs: 1) you no longer have a need to remember hot-keys 2) you don't have to screw with a mouse 3) games developed for it (incl RPGs) will be designed for less user input which means they can be played longer! 4) system menus just get a whole lot more fun and intuitive (think grandparents; example: iPhone) 5) solid state everything!
The major problems people claim: 1) your arms will get tired. To me this means:
Our arms will get more exercise and will learn to adapt to the input method; we'll develop something along the lines of a smaller touchscreen the size of the keyboard, like the Nintendo DS has, WHICH WOULD BE FUCKING AMAZING.
Now we have two screens, one large one for viewing and one smaller one for input that can be used as a keyboard, second screen, or cloned screen for direct custom GUI.
This system gives huge hardware maintenance benefits: - No more broken/easy-to-break keys - Easier to repair, interchangeable laptop part technology forming - Much more standardized user input through a completely fluid platform. While most laptops have the generally same key placement, there are often a few keys arranged differently. - When I hit shift/caps lock the "keys" actually change labels so there is no secondary little number in the key corners (of course this is completely changeable in User Preferences). - More resistant to spills! Less little tiny parts to get stuff stuck in. AND easier to clean keyboard.
2) Higher power consumption from the second screen.
We'll have to wait for better battery tech or just use what we have.:P Not a major problem.
3) The touchscreen will get dirty and need to be cleaned regularly.
This is simply what happens with our oily skin, but throwing the tech out is the stupidest way of moving forward. It's simply another problem to solve, and the problem is our fingertips, not the screen here. So what will we do? Little finger tip covers! DUH!
4)There is no way to determine where your hands are located without looking at the input screen
Make all the screens with a transparent, though obvious "feel grid", maybe three vertical lines and three horizontal lines on top of the input screen so you can get a general feel of where your hands lie.
5)I like to rest my fingers on the keyboard when not typing, wouldn't this cause me to type keys accidentally?
Use pressure input. This can be done through software. As your fingers push down, more and more of the finger touches the screen. When a certain amount of the finger touches the screen in that area then it will accept it as input.
And in the end you will still be able to sync with your wireless bluetooth true keyboard!

The idea of God is that the universe is like a virtual machine, and God the OS. We are within him; his mind. The goal of our relative universe is to build character that can be used in the spiritual realm outside of this universe, such as Honor, Respect, and Loyalty, and not things like coding and driving a car, which obviously lack a use in a spiritual non-physical existence. Not that we may necessarily recollect such physical things once transferring on.
Not if you're in America. Unless you've gone out of your way to declare yourself a sovereign citizen, you are literally owned by the government. Bet you didn't know that.
It's not about them losing keys to such important private data. It's about them having it in the first place. I don't think I should be obligated to give abusable information to an idiot third party who, before giving it to them, I know is eventually going to lose it. Then the more important question comes.... why the hell do we have data that is so easily abusable? There is an inherent lack of security throughout this whole system.
"We hate banning people, it makes our lives a lot tougher, but it's what we have to do.'"
Yeah, must be depressing. Selling games and making a profit, and then simply making the game nonfunctional. Why not just mute the account? People don't NEED to talk to play a game.
