disregard this post. I had my point backwards clearly. What I meant to write is that how would we be holding up if we didnt destroy all our natural CO2 scrubbing trees
you plant some trees you also get CO2. I wonder what the CO2 content would be if we didnt destroy a good portion of our CO2 producing trees over the past 200 years
those same liberals all voted for the law. 2 members of the senate and 62 or so members of the house voted no or present. which is worse, warning us about how evil it is and STILL voting for it
good point, but on that note the laws are generally not written by the politicians, they are salesmen, they get handed the laws that are written by their handlers or companies or lawyers. So in reality I would argue that the laws were written with the loopholes, and in a way that gives himi the excuse of saying it was never intended to be used that way, even though it is
Actually "keeping us safe" goes all the way back to the begining. We had to take the native americans land to keep us safe from the "savages"
We had to get involved in a war 1/2 way across the world to keep us safe from the nazis. and in the next 40 years we had to keep us safe from the evil communists.
I know everyone loves to bash bush, myself included. but if you honestly think that the government only started "keeping us safe" after 9/11 you need to open a book.
Whenever a controversial law is proposed, and its supporters, when confronted with an egregious abuse it would permit, use a phrase along the lines of 'Perhaps in theory, but the law would never be applied in that way' - they're lying.
just like the patriot act. we have the author of the bill running around now stating that he never intended for it to be used in the way its being used. Well if you didnt intend for it to be used in this way, why did you write it in a way that it COULD be used in this way???
Im convinced that if people in congress or this administration (or any administration in the past 20 years actually) tried to use this same argument, the polls would show over 1/2 of the us here in the USA would also be all for it
Its the same reason that we should be increasing our ability to hunt down hobbits. If they get control of that ring again it could be the end for us all!
I think we draw the lines at "kids doing what kids have done for the past 50-100 years if not longer"
Every person I grew up with had a lemonade stand at one point or another in the summer time. Making some cash for a pack of cards or some candy or some toy. Its how we were taught the american dream, work hard and you can do whatever you want. Not work hard and the government will come down on you and fine.
I understand your argument, I simply argue that we need to let kids be kids, and stop with the over litigation that has happened in the past 10-20 years
who modded this up? a simple google search of "california lemonade stand shut down brought up this for the first link

You're never too young to learn a life lesson - or, rather, a business lesson. As this local news report shows, the aptly named Daniela Earnest of Tulare, California had her lemonade stand shut down by town officials. (It turns out the stand lacked proper business permits.) Daniela, who's just seven years old, had the heartwarming goal to save enough money to send her family to Disney Land.
In california there are stories of little kids getting fined for running lemon aid stands in the summer. This is about normal for the over controlling sons of bitches who run cali
Having said that I do agree that if they are making promises of 99% placement, they really should be forced to prove it otherwise its no different than snake oil
Yeah, If the course was free (did not RTFA) I would argue that cali can go fuck off, but if they are charging and making promises, there should be some kind of regulation.
You act as if they were not going to be losing their jobs regardless. Sadly moto was a faling company. Once loved by many, everyone I know was hoping for a comeback but they fell behind the times along with RIM.
The company was going to go out and everyone was going to lose their jobs anyway, google did some damage control, and gave people a lifeline. From people I know who were working there at the time, they were happy as they had more time to find new work then they believed they would have without being bought by google. Yes 4K people have lost their jobs, but on the same token the different departments are now free to grow with other companies better suited and it is not unreasonable that in a year or 2 there will be a net gain in jobs.
Polygraphs already are inadmissible in court as they have been proven to be bullshit. As such, how can one get in trouble for teaching someone how to beat something that is not admissible in court anyway?
You have movements in the US where and this is really funny in a sad way, that it is legal to shoot somebody and kill them because they "looked" at you the wrong way (I am looking at your Florida). It is acceptable to wave a machine gun around and accumulate rounds and rounds of bullets.
"machine guns" are pretty much outlawed. There are some that were grandfathered in, but you need to pay a fee of something crazy like 1/2 a million dollars to buy it. So I Have to say quite frankly that line is totally false and you sound like you are full of shit when you make a claim like that.
As for being allowed to kill someone in FLA for "looking at you wrong" again, either you are being told wrong information, as I do see you are not american, or you are misrepresenting the facts. A FLA resident is only allowed to kill someone if their life is in direct danger, and there is no other option.
Many of the most successful people (by typical metrics) have never really worked in their lives.
While true in some regards (look at our president and previous president) I can tell you that hard work does in fact pay off for a large number of people. Sure they might not be ultra rich, but if someone comes out of a piss poor family and works hard, they will live comfortably
Worker productivity has increased by orders of magnitude but worker pay has decreased
Im not sure this is true either. 100 years ago people were plowing fields by hand and animals, now a machine can be run to do 100 times the work in a day run by 1 person. People are not physically working harder today than they were in the past
Just out of curiosity, Why is it still ok to make fun of "southern folk" and insult their way of speaking, however if one is to say anything about ebonics, they are somehow racist?

thats what I use google voice for

perhaps starting a coup to overthrow the Obama regime and install a more friendly and less corrupt government?
we can all dream cant we?
after the article comparing san fransisco to the nazis, rightfully or not, i think ive had my fill of godwin for the day
no, no need to correct you on anything, you are correct. however me and you know this, the avg computer user does not
