The reality is that all these bills are an attempt to make the people feel like the government is doing something about their fears. Gun control laws are not going to stop dedicated criminals from obtaining and misusing guns. Regulating ammunition would be more effective and even that will only be partially so. People can make their own ammo as well as making their own guns. The difference is that making your own ammo from scratch requires alot more work then just printing a gun these days. Either way though, bans and regulations are safety blanket measures. Something to make the the people feel safe without ever actually doing anything about the real problems.
Do remember that in that fictional universe it took another world war and an actual alien contact to drive humans together enough to bring about that "utopia"
To the best of my knowledge they have been upstanding in and out of work. As someone pointed out its different in different places and in cities with more people you have more cops and more chances for bad ones. And yes in a city with millions in it, its not hard for people to develop an us vs them mentality with a group of people they have close contact with and are expected to support on a regular basis. I wont say there are no bad cops. All I am saying is we cant judge everyone by the actions of a few.
Not all cops are bullies, liars, or thugs. I have personally known some very nice ones. Unfortunately all jobs done by people get good and bad ones alike. Yes there are some bad cops. There are also alot of officers who just have to put up with bad people all day. I know its a pipe dream but I wish people would stop making horrible generalizations just because they see one bad egg. You might do well to remember that police officers go out every day all over world with the prospect of not making it home that night. All in the name of protecting people like you and me.
GTFO may not be an option but if Dad is paying for the internet and or subscription fee then he can most certainly cut those off. Any parent that whines about their kids playing online games too much is just being a bad parent. I have no problem taking away my sons computer or his network cable/wireless adapter and telling him he can pay for his own if he wants to abuse it. My son is limited on his computer time and not allowed on it during school days except for school work purposes.
Has anyone patented the process of sueing people for violations of patents? If not someone better get on it quickly. Millions of dollars in settlements are being lost every minute now.
His parents should be in prison. They are directly responsible because they didn't get their son the help that he needed.
Do you have any idea how hard it is for people to get serious and effective mental health treatment? Half the medical insurance companies don't pay it or charge rediculous copays. For the government to do anything he would have to have been arrested and that usually leads to prison, not quality mental health care. His access to guns and games can be debated until everyone is blue in the face. It is still likely he would have performed some kind of violent act. I dont blame his parents alone, I blame the country. If we spent half the time we waste raging against god, guns, games, and godlessness on developing a social concience. We might actually solve a few problems in this country, if not the world. I weep for all the souls lost in this tragedy, even the shooters.
Forget your Tax Dollars. If a company is forced to store records then the cost of that storage is going to come out of the customers pocket. Don't think that Verizon or AT&T will foot the bill out of their own profits.
Twinkies have a shelf life of about 25 days. DAYS not years.
Besides anyone with any real taste knows its the Hostess cupcakes that should be mourned, not twinkies.
I am still surprised that people Think the office of the president is to blame for everything in this country. Like nothing happens that isnt their fault, good or bad.
I wonder what other people are experiancing with using it. The one person I know who has used this still has a mostly locked down phone. So far the most he has gotten out of it is a message on the phone saying "unlocked"
I personally believe that we should not even bother picking the other party. If possible go for an independant. If that is not an option write one in. I personally support Jon Stewart for president. If the government is going to act like a joke it may as well be led by a comedian.

Jelly Gumbo...maybe..
That they have to grovel for money in the first place is sad enough.

I thought Zombie Outbreak was one of the new disasters in Sim City.
No level of ignorance and stupidity from ANYONE surprises me any more.
There, fixed that for you.
"its a humanity problem. And it's a conflict that will last until the end of time"
It will only last until the end of humanity.

That would explain why the computers kept failing in all the Fords I had.

Good thing those nasty old Republicans aren't running the show. They might force the Feds to get a search warrant or something.
Do you really think that one side or the other is going be that much better?
They might consider if it it actually does prove to have power cost reductions.
In the information age the only way this will stop is with the end of capitalism.
Get it right. It's Santa Christ.

Why not, they probably hold your mortgage and your car loan.

I buy my HDMI cables from Big Lots. $6-$10 for a six foot cable.

To hell with the OS. There are security programs that block read and write functions on USB drives
