    DS9 took some liberties for the story, and starfleet personnel at least got some kind of stipend they could spend and gamble with at Quarks. Generally though an economy based on stufd is gonna go through a massive change when matter replicators exist.

  2. Re:Not 200F on Historic Heat In North America Turns Winter To Summer · · Score: 2

    I lived in Phoenix, and it was quite comfortable there in summer. Combine those temps with the high humidity of the east though and you have some serious issues.

    So, things that we take as fact "sun is center of our galaxy", "earth is round", is now a proven theory. But in essence, still a theory.

    Sun center of our galaxy, huh? I see someone went to school on Tennessee

    A great book, "Lies My Teacher Told Me" details the history textbook situation which is pretty bad too.

    Except that assault and robbery is a harsher penalty than simple assault.

    Thought crime is crime for simply thinking something. Not acting on it. Using your logic soldiers and those fighting in self defense should have the same punishment as someone committing premeditated homicide.

  11. Re:Hate crimes... on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    The drunk and you should be separated and he should be liable for the damage. Color is irrelevant in the situation. My point is that motive is important to determining sentencing and a targeted hate attack is a worse degree than being a drunken idiot.

  12. Re:Hate crimes... on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    Hate crime prosecution may be applied unfairly but the law itself is not. Blacks beating up a white should be treated just as harshly as vice versa. Motive for crime should absolutely be considered when deciding sentencing. Stealing bread to feed your family doesnt deerve the same punishment as shoplifting a louis vatton purse.

    Pretty certain when he put the stream up he said something like "the faggot is doing it again" his motive was well established.

    Also he asked fora new roommate cuz he didnt wanna room with a gay

  14. Re:Hate crimes... on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 3, Informative

    not quite. The point of hate crimes is to distinguish a heated argument in a bar leading someone to punching the other assault and a guy cornering someone in alley and beating the shit out of him cuz of his race or perceived orientation/religion/etc.

    One of those deserves just having the cops splitting them up and the other jailtime.

    I live in NJ where our minimum wage of 7.50/hr is much higher than the rest of the nation (so is our cost of living and 7.50/hr would be pretty rough to live on) but even our fast food jobs start at 8/hr. They have to to attract employees they want because even 16 year olds want a decent wage.

    Funny how that works

    you think you aren't paying the employer side? Your employer may suck but I know mine would increase our wages if that tax didn't exist or was paid on the employee side.

    Iran getting a nuke is inevitable. The technology is over 60 years old now, it's only a matter of time before everyone has one and the best we can do is delay the inevitable. Perhaps working on improving diplomatic relations with other nations is a far better solution than preemptively invading everyone.
