You've never experienced the fanatical hatred these "people" have for those who don't share their ideology.
I lived in Israel from 1973 to 2000, 7 of those years I spent in the IDF (mandatory + standing army) and then did reserve service (as Captain) before emigrating. I have experienced the hatred of people that would bomb a school-bus just to make headlines and I still find your attitude toward torture despicable.
Are you trying to petition the corrupt (according to your post above) legislators to pass a constitutional amendment aimed at stopping their corrupt practices?
Over and over governments have fallen and change has been driven when secrets become known.
It doesn't work in a "democratic" 2-party, first-past-the-post system where both parties are beholden to the same interests and implement similar policies. The illusion that change can be brought by voting keeps the populace from revolting and nothing ever changes for the better.
Researching every unsubstantiated claim on/. isn't feasible. There's just not enough time. It works much better if the commenters include the pertinent links in their posts. After all, they already (claim to) have the info.
And that's exactly why I support it. Fully. Without any reservations whatsoever.
And that's why I wish that someday (hopefully soon) your children will be taken by someone who would demand they tell him where you keep your plans to blow a dirty nuke in Washington DC, then proceed to waterboard them, twice a day, until he gets the information.
Meaning that you practically can't, unless the employer was extremely careless and stupid.
Tracking doesn't change this. If your employer doesn't like you, they figure out how to fire you.
Tracking gives them a tool to profile you. Without such tracking they would have to either stalk you (criminal) or ask you (see careless/stupid above).
If firing you for a particular reason is illegal, the employer has no right to that information.
I find the following even more confusing: An object A moves at 0.9c relative to point X, in a given direction. An object B moves at 0.9c relative to point X, in the opposite direction. What is the velocity of A relative to B?
If the answer is less than c, consider the following:
What would be the distance between A and X after 1 second? After 2 seconds? What would be the distance between B and X after 1 second? After 2 seconds? What would be the distance between A and B after 1 second? After 2 seconds?
In my experience, pdf.js renders all but the most basic documents badly and slowly, to the point of making the browser unresponsive with large documents on older HW.
Judge Winmill is in possession of an instrument of rape, fornication, indecent exposure and public urination. Since he has demonstrated the capability of using said instrument on women several times (he has 4 children) and has publicly referred to himself as "man", "male", "father", etc., it implies -- according to his own reasoning -- both capability and intent of using said instrument unlawfully.
I therefore move that judge Winmill's penis should be removed and put in escrow until it is determined that it poses no danger to society, whereupon it shall be returned to judge Winmill in the same condition as it was taken.

You know what "PACE" is, right? It means the cop drives along behind you long enough to get a good, documented speed reading.
Depending on the cop, it can also mean that the cop just made it up. After all, it's his word against the driver's.
The people we are waterboarding, on the other hand, have demonstrated both the desire and the ability to do us harm
Except for the innocent.

Well, good luck with that...

I suspect it is by design.
Left wing politicians? I don't see them at all.

If I were the PM, I'd be fucking livid right now with Obama.
Who's Livid?
From the context, the US and UK citizens.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you... ah, but I forget what comes after that!

Did you notice that that article is actually quoting American media as it's only sources?
That's the important part.
If the allegations were reported then as they are reported now, why didn't anyone raise a similar stink?
Why, too lazy to look it up yourself?

Pray tell how do you prove that you were fired over your church attendance rather than your taste in movies?

Am I the only one that is starting to think that everything wrong with society is caused by lawyers and their owners?
Pretty much.
The rest of us have known this for quite a while now.

Ahhhh, America.
The country with the best justice money can buy.
Nothing is ironclad in a system where justice is influenced by the amount of money one can throw at the problem.
