  1. Re:total bullshit? on Snowden: Clinton's Private Email Server Is a 'Problem' · · Score: 1

    If that is true then wasn't her job, quite specifically, to delegate authority and have that email system changed via official means? Ignore the side show that is the whole email server thing and concentrate on the mishandling of classified information (which has been indicated as true per the on-going FBI investigation according to a variety of news sources) and on the failing to retain data properly is required by the Federal Records Act. Either way, it was her responsibility to have the system fixed and her obligation to not work around it.

    Umm... I think they have records laws that insist she do just that - leave the data on it IF they were official. From what I've read there have been some instances of classified information in the recovered emails. If true then she's likely violated the laws regarding the handling of secure information. Even FOUO data has handling requirements. To me the issue isn't the email server -that's a distraction and the laws covering it may not have been in place until a couple of years after she left office. The issue is the improper handling of classified data which was certainly covered as well as the data retention laws IF applicable. I'm not sure if we'll ever see anything come of this but I will not be voting for her. I have ample other reasons to not vote for her but I'll stick to the topic at hand.

    You can vote in a presidential election. Only a few states still restrict voting in State elections (or local elections) due to felony convictions but you're able to vote for the president. Look into your local voting laws. For the most part the whole being unable to vote due to a felony conviction is a myth and one is still able to vote for the president in all states as far as I know. I'm not a researcher of the subject nor an expert but I do have a vested interest in election laws and have actually paid someone to answer a variety of questions for me and to advise me on campaigning.

    If you're unable to answer the questions you may have on your own then, if you wish, you can provide me with the name of the state that you live in and your residency status (you must be a citizen and a resident of the state, of course, for me to get information). As I already will be paying for the time then it is trivial to ask them an additional question and I can get more information to you.

    As it currently stands, restricting votes based on using felony status for entitlement is probably legal. It is my opinion, and not necessarily a popular opinion, that felons should be allowed to vote. I am not a fan of restricting rights due to past actions when we've already had the chance to restrict their freedoms.

    Another opportunity may be to petition the State (typically a single well-worded letter to the governor of your state is all that is required) stating your desires, years since convictions, changes you've made, and maybe including some letters from members of the community to vouch for your current behaviors is adequate. They may, or may not, return your right to vote. This is most often seen with firearms but it is *likely* to be applicable to vote restrictions as well.

    Again, I'm already paying someone an hourly wage to answer and advise me. For them to review the applicable laws and opine on them would be trivial and a minimal expense that I'm more than willing to pay on your behalf. If you're willing to share the information required then I'm more than happy to get them to opine on your situation.

    You see it as a good thing, an easier thing, and such. That's fine too. However, if you wish to change this you may be able to, almost certainly can in most states, and you may not even be restricted at all but may have been subjected to misinformation.

  5. Re:Stage 2 on In New Study, HIV Prevention Pill Truvada Is 100% Effective · · Score: 1

    I was visiting a site with a comments section, as I am wont to do, and I read those comments. Somehow Liberace managed to be the topic in the thread. There were a number of people who claimed Liberace was not really gay. They had links and citations and evidence. I did not check a single bit of their evidence no click on a single link. However, it turned into a rather large discussion and a surprisingly large number of people were adamant that Liberace was not gay.

    I am not sure where I'm going with this but, yeah... It was one of the oddest topics (and I read a bunch) I've ever discovered on the internet. It isn't the oddest - I am unable to rank them - but it was certainly odd.

I hadn't shot up much prior to the AIDS scare but I had and even then we didn't share rigs. I may have reused my own rig from time to time but sharing it? That's straight up retarded.

    That may be true but I think your statement is a little overly broad. This person should not be in jail, he's a kid. (He's not on some public facing list, either.) I don't have much of a problem with that - we keep police records regardless of convictions and typical background checks only cover convictions, at least in my country. The UK may have a different policy.

    Then, there are exceptions. There are folks who have been accused of crimes so terrible that we have chosen to give up rights in order to incarcerate them for the protection of the rest of society. Your view doesn't include those folks and I'm afraid you're definitely in the minority on this one. I'm a pretty damned big fan of liberties and, well, even I can see the sense in this policy. Not that it isn't abused nor is the UK's system free from abuses. However, I see the logic behind it and tend to agree.

    Nah, they have multiple classes. His would not be considered a predator so would end up on the list for a shorter time frame at least that's what the various lists I've checked indicate. I'm not sure why your post is moderated as informative when it is factually incorrect. They have life-time registrants but those are for predatory offenses in every list I've ever looked at.

    Also, few of those other things you mention are laws (in most states) but are probation conditions. They're generally free to live most anywhere (and certainly are after they've been removed from the list in cases like this), attend school, etc... Notification is the law, that much is true I think?

    This could have changed but I was recently checking an area where I was thinking about buying some property and it was still the same there.
