Im starting to wonder if the data they pull for the number of them is from some internet poll, Because im all my life, I have met plenty of religious people, but I have never met someone who believes the earth is 6K years old
this is one of those issues that is in the grey area, Ignorance of the law should sometimes be allowed, That is why we have judges to begin with. The laws are so in depth that its impossible to follow every law to the letter of the law, as the old saying goes if you are driving a car, you are breaking the law, as a good lawer can and will find something illegal about it
well, not for nothing but she and other republicans (and other democrats) correctly predicted we would be having problems with russia and that they are still a treat to freedom. Obama took cheepshots at her and romney and now look at whats happening, imperialist russia crawling back
if you write up a proper will, you can give that money to anyone
The point is that it is YOUR money, and you paid the taxes on it. As such why the fuck should the government get to double tax you?? just because you are no longer alive to defend yourself? its robbery end of story

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco will begin charging the operators of private shuttles that ferry technology workers from the city to Silicon Valley, Mayor Ed Lee said Monday.
Under a new pilot program, the shuttles will pay the city fees to use public bus stops. In the first 18 months of the program, they are expected to pay about $1.5 million to San Francisco.
,
The shiny fleets of private shuttles have become very visible symbols of the growing income disparity in San Francisco.
Technology investor Ron Conway says the companies have been working with City Hall to craft a solution for months. The issue took on added urgency in recent weeks as protesters blocked Google and Apple buses in San Francisco and Oakland. One group of protesters broke a window of a Google bus at the West Oakland BART station.
“Hopefully that will take the issue off the table,” said Conway, who heads up sf.citi, a nonprofit group.
The shuttles will be limited to 200 specific bus stops and must operate according to certain guidelines, such as yielding to public buses.
The private shuttles currently use 200 public bus stops to load and unload passengers from three dozen technology and other companies. They make 4,500 daily round trips. Proponents say they take thousands of cars off Bay Area roadways, easing congesting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"We see this pilot program as a good first step," said Veronica Bell, manager for public policy and government affairs for Google.
The fees will cover the cost of running the pilot program as well as some upgrades to certain bus stops. The city is not permitted to collect more money than the program costs to run.
I dont agree that google is abusing public property, I feel that they are doing you a service by taking more cars off the road. Im a prick i would say ok fine, everyone take their own car to work and do NOT car pool, ensure to clog the roads up. Lets see what people think is worse, people doing a large carpool, because thats all the google busses are, or a few hundred more cars on the road during rush hour
who is stopping you from paying more taxes?? if you think you should pay more, just send the IRS a check for what you feel you should pay above what you have to pay by law. stop talking about it and do it

if that were true, why were people still flocking here from other countries all over the world?
It may be a shit hole, but slightly less than the rest of the shitholes out there
unless they are illegally in the country, then they pay the in state resident cost....
