Unless the correlation is with race, religion, national origin, or other "protected" differences.
Actually I'm sure the actuaries wouldn't have any problem using all the data available but he lawyers, public relations people and government regulators won't allow it.
Would you believe that some people think that even things with proven causation (e.g. pre-existing conditions) should be protected from pricing differentials.
I guess the car analogy in this case would be demanding to be given the same low rate on a car loan after telling the bank that the reason you're buying a new car is that your previous one has just been repossessed.
I think your stance on self defence goes wrong when you use the word "any" twice in the first sentance and leave out the word "immediate" before threat.
Try this version on for size "I'm a firm believer that force is acceptable for self defense while the other party is still an immediate threat."
If you are capable of exerting "excessive force" then you certainly ought to be able to defend yourself using a less-than-excessive level of force long enough to get the hell out of dodge.
If you intend to remain within the realm of self defense then it breaks down like this.
1. Person kicks/attempts to kick you - this is assault 2. You defend/counter-attack to enable yourself to get away - this is self defense 3. You escalate/continue the attack beyond #2 - now you're fighting. 4. You defeat the original attacker using "excessive force" - Congratulations, now you've commited assault. Be sure to give Bubba a high-five in prison shower.
To prevent this being modded off-topic here is the cyber version.
1. Your server is probed by an unknown entity with an IP address in China - this is a cyber attack 2. You block all traffic from said IP address at the firewall - this is self defense 3.

You unleash the full force of/. by redirecting every article link to the IP address in China- Congratulations, now you've commited a cyber crime.

Having a wife stay at home raising children could easily be the more responsible economic choice. Paying someone else to raise your children can easily cost more than a second earner can bring in, especially if there is a large disparity in earning potential.
Of course having the ability to choose to have children (that you can afford to take care of) in the first place is probably what you were refering to as a luxury.
Unfortunately, in the US and other "liberal" democratic countries, the ability to reproduce is apparently all it takes to establish a "right" to have all the children you want to and damn the consequences.
There is no direct evidence that Japan surrenderred because of the Atomic Bombs. The timing of the surrender points to the Russian advances in the north as the actual trigger.
CJCS to JCS: Gentlement, secure that building (points to building) and report back to me tomorrow. JCS: Yes sir! -24 hours later- Admiral: Sir, we've repainted the entire building and made sure all the doors are closed and locked. Army General: Sir, we've dug defensive fighting positions and established clear fields of fire 360 degrees around the building. Marine General: Sir, my men will secure the building in (checks watch) 3..2..1.. (Explosion heard in distance) Air Force General: D*****t! We just signed a 99-year lease on that building.
Meh. If I were a famous actory/singer/president I'd ask Google when there doing the StreetView (tm) thing in my area and make sure they got some good shots of my armed security guards and pack of vicious pit bulls.
Whether they acutally exist or not.

Correlation is all that really matters to them.

Does that include German exports within the Euro-zone? I wonder what American exports per capita would be if we included inter-state trade?
Some people just don't know how to tell a joke.
Don't most people use average to indicate within 1 standard deviation of the mean?
At least most people who understand what that sentence means.

Um, All your codebase are belong to us?
Yes it would.
However the Earth would accellerate toward the moon much faster than it would toward the elephant.
So the Earth-Moon collision would occur sooner than the Earth-Elephant collision.

I never did understand why you don't do something more interesting with it.
For example you could...

IANAL but, doing something you (or a reasonable person should) know or suspect is illegal is tantamount to intent.
But, having this scene would ruin the surprise when R2 ejects the new lightsaber during the barge-fight. All in all sounds like a good cut.
That wont work for me you insensitive clod, my passcode is all 8s.
Robotech did it first. One of the pilots created an eye tracking aiming system for the battle simulator/video game to great effect.
