  1. Re:Ridiculous, Impossible, Etc. on Legislation In New York To Ban Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 1

    Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the priveleges or immunities of the citizens of the United States" bit means states can't pass laws that violate the rights spelled out in the constitution..

  2. sex offender? on Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time · · Score: 0

    Pretty certain if I was video taping two people having sex that'd put me on the sex offender registry. While the maximum (10 years) is way too harsh, this seems a bit too light regardless of the suicide associated with it.

    I am not a science major but wouldnt it be more likely to hit near the equator than the poles and thus even more likely to hit water?

  6. Re:Just sell the Russians the tech already. on Russia Threatens Pre-emptive, Destructive Force On US Missile Defense · · Score: 1

    If we are serious about using this system to stop nuclear war through ballistic missiles, then let them have it. Sure, the info will trickle down to the secondary and tertiary nuclear powers, but it will have created another design hurtle.

    Unless it's trivial to trick the system. In which case, our government should have cut its losses a long time ago but, like the idiot humans who comprise the system, are suckers for the sunk cost fallacy.

    Very much this, giving everyone missile defense tech not only ensures good will ("Look we aren't planning on shooting missiles at you, and just in case you think we would, now you can defend against them too") but makes the populaces safer world-wide.

    If you are not in a swing state it is irrelevant anyway. Focus your energies on your congressional elections. Presidential is all theatrics.

    This is also, AFAIK, a state level mandate, not a federal level mandate.

  11. Re:Firing in US on Interview With TSA Screener Reveals 'Fatal Flaws' · · Score: 1

    Insurance wants to pay for maintenence because maintenence ensures fewer costlier issues later. A bigger issue is too few doctors. The cost barrier to entry in the medical field, especially med school is way too high.

    It bs down for a certain sector. The working poor and low middle class. Who can choose between health insurance and rent/eating. A medical bill will bankrupt them and they cant afford preventive care at over 100 per doctor visit.rea

    In the US you would go to jail if someone else left drugs in your car. Not saying that is right, just the sad reality.

  17. Re:Anti-Gay? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 1

    That WAS the purpose of marriage, and then only the purpose for those who had stuff worth passing on. Nowadays a marriage is founded based on infatuation. I am gay, but I would marry a woman so long as keeping catamites was legal and not a guaranteed way to lose half my shit.

    The "New Joisey" is actually a Staten Island accent. There are three forms of speech in the state of New Jersey. The north Jerseyans frequently have the Staten Island accent, those close to Philadelphia will have that god awful Philly accent and the shore/center of the state tends to sound more like people do on TV.

    But that...isn't true. Many people in NY have outdoor pools. They winterize them for the winter, but they don't need to be heated for use in the summer (when they are worth using).
