Not that they get any better when you do that. You can just pay more for them. It helps you get re-elected. What, you're not in Congress? Oh, well disregard everything I just said...
Don't you know that people fire frozen chickens into airplane windows and engines ALL THE TIME. This threat MUST be dealt with, or we could have another major terrorist attack on our hands!
You know, there are trees stuck deep in the mud of the rivers that went past the old logging areas in Canada that are now being harvested for their wood. In the cold and deep, they are perfectly preserved, and they certainly don't dissolve. Maybe a better way would be to send great batches of cellulose (ie tree trunks) down into the briny deep. Maybe a few million or billion years from now, they'll be a viable energy source for an up and coming civilization.
Well, I'm free to put pictures of you with the word "pedophile" underneath it up all around your neighborhood as well. Embarrassment apparently isn't the only thing that can come from being labeled, whether it is true or not.
I read a statistic somewhere that said that for every H1B visa worker brought into the US, ten more jobs are created. People tend to forget that economics is far from a zero sum game. When you recruit the best and brightest from around the world, your local economy WILL improve.
It is my understanding that the lowest denomination of gold, the single gram of gold, will cost 30% more than the value of the gold inside. This is about the same amount that you will pay anywhere. The extra cost comes from the assay (it is sealed in an assay card), the minting costs (which are higher for small pieces like that), and the cost of the rather nice looking box it comes in (not sure WHY they simply MUST put it in a nice box). Basically, the extra cost is like an ATM fee, only a bit higher (about $10-20), which is probably quite worth it, honestly.
I mainly wanted to know how he could have claimed that "every single Japanese woman" had been fondled on a train, as if there was a station where all the woman had to go to get fondled before they got on the train. In addition, I wanted to know where he goes to talk to "every single Japanese woman" because that sounds like a cracker jack place to pick up chicks.
As to your links, I assume it meant 70% of the "female" population, otherwise Japan is just a little more crazy than I thought it was.
All that being said, it still doesn't really speak to the incidence of actual rape, which is the topic at hand.
I want to know where you are going where you get to talk to every single Japanese woman. My guess is it's the type of place where it's actually pimply faced otakus pretend to be Japanese women (read: the internet).
Anonymous can't tell the difference between fantasy (even a popular one) and reality.
Yeah, the nation that first embraced liberalism, both in sex and society, sticking to its roots, and avoiding the "evil" label stamped on all sex, especially that not used for reproduction, by post-Victorian prudes. Imagine that.
Of course, everyone fails to mention that Japan has the lowest rape rate per capita in the world. Perhaps it has something to do with the availability of such materials to quench the urge of would be rapists?
You're putting the cart before the horse here. They are running back to their home countries because Ireland raised their taxes back to punitive levels. The earlier rate was a ploy to get corporations to come in, and then they would hose them once they had made a large investment in their nation. Looks like that plan is backfiring.
They thought they would be able to force them to stay, so they ran up huge debts on social programs, and thought they could stick the corporations with the bill. The corporations thought otherwise.
Understand that neither people nor corporations are slaves to the state. If you punish them or us enough with confiscation then we will leave, assuming we can find a place where the government doesn't regulate how much starch we wash our shirts in, or that takes more than 50% of the fruits of our labors through various income and sales taxes, which is more than medieval lords took from their serfs, and only slightly less than 19th century plantation owners took from their field slaves.
You should understand that the western world dominated because we had a long period with no taxes AT ALL, save on imports. Enterprising folk came here from around the world to find the "American dream", which was for people to build their own lives without owing anything to some backwards ass nobility or some other form of oppressive government. Contrary to the propaganda machine, the "American dream" NEVER consisted of living life as a debt slave to "own" and maintain a mansion. It was about self ownership, which is the most important aspect of freedom, and it is an aspect that we have destroyed in this nation. So go ahead, cry out against those evil men and women who build your computers and provide your meals. Those evil corporations that bring you clothing so cheap you can almost afford to throw it away and books so cheap that their purchase is trivial. EVERYTHING you buy is made by them, and if you drive them away, YOU will be the one to suffer. Prices will rise while quality falls, and you and the rest of America will soon find that those producers that they drove away were the only thing standing between them and the quality of life of a 19th century slave.
To be honest, this nation deserves to fail, and her people deserve that life, because they allowed it all to happen. They participated in class warfare, they hated those with money for the crime of being richer than they themselves were, rather than respecting them for their ability to produce those things which people want and need for less than their competition. They allowed our government to replace real money (gold and silver, or the promise to redeem for gold and silver) with "notes" which is nothing but debt, debt which is only payable in more debt. They demanded that others pay for the shitty government services that they want for "free". They demanded pity ("Where's MY bailout?") rather than justice ("Let bad businesses fail!"). They demanded that their masters steal their freedoms to keep them safe, knowing full well that without freedom, no-one is safe.
Your notion of patriotism is quite different from mine, sir. When this nation was founded, patriotism meant something beyond blindly supporting your "leaders". It meant conviction, a conviction to fight for freedom for INDIVIDUALS. It meant that you allowed tyranny no beach-head. No curtailment of freedoms, no matter the cost, no matter the risk, and indeed the reward was that the United States created the most formidable economy in the world within 150 years. Now, it has taken 100 years to reverse every bit of that progress, and it has been met at every turn with thunderous applause. Jerimiah Wright was right. God Damn America.
Somolia isn't a libertarian paradise, it's a nation with many local (highly oppressive) warlords. There's a HUGE difference. Think of it as a large number of constanty warring states rather than a large nation with no central government.
Taxes are taxes, whether they are collected by a thug with a badge or a thug with an AK-47.
I agree. They will be punished. However, I notice that your name violates numerous copyrights. Just stand where you are with your hands on your head while the *IAA paramilitary police come to get you, you filthy pedophile terrorist. What, you didn't know that violating copyrights was the same as diddling little babies while blowing up building with anthrax laden peroxide shoe bombs? Well, too bad. We're throwing you in the dock all the same. You and your little dog too. Also, we're seizing all of your property under civil asset forfeiture. Don't bother complaining that you never got a trial in front of a jury of your peers. Habeus corpus? What's that, a rock band? That's another count for you, mister. Not that it matters, since the punishment is the same for any of these types of crimes. Look on the bright side though, they say the weather in Syria is wonderful this time of year. Not that you'll ever see the sky again, you filthy pedorist.
You also need to take into account that police lie constantly. In fact, I don't think there is a group that can be trusted less often during your interactions.
What I am saying is that quoting public interest when violating privacy rights is a slippery slope. You have to think about who exactly it is defining what is in the public interest. As I said, there were times when harboring Jews was considered to be against the public interest, and could get you executed. There were times in this very country when harboring a runaway slave could land you in hard labor (think execution by work).
Don't be so quick to cede more power to the police/government. It can and will be misused to the maximum extent possible.
Like that douche Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Or that douche George Washington, or that douche Abe Lincoln.
Americans are also free to call those who fight to preserve our liberties douches.
Remember kids, police and the government always have your best interests at heart, and are kind, caring people who will never murder you on a subway platform or put you in jail for "being a douche".
Does "Probable Cause" allow cops to seize property not related to a crime? No, it allows them to enter a premises and search. If they find evidence of a crime, they can seize evidence. "Probably Cause" doesn't allow cops to steal cars to pursue people.
That may be true of Searches and Seizures, but to compel action of someone, you still need a warrant. Otherwise you would have officers commanding civilians to form roadblocks with their cars to stop "criminals" from escaping.
The law you cited was meant to allow police to enter a home when they hear screaming, gunshots are reported, or when they are being shot at, etc.
It was never meant to compel action by private individuals.

Also, I want to tax the taxes that are being taxed on those goods running through my state.
Sure, but you can always pay more for roads.
Not that they get any better when you do that. You can just pay more for them. It helps you get re-elected. What, you're not in Congress? Oh, well disregard everything I just said...
LOOK, SEX SCANDALS!
I don't. I've been on a plane once since 9/11, and I won't be doing it again, at least, not until the TSA is gone.
Don't you know that people fire frozen chickens into airplane windows and engines ALL THE TIME. This threat MUST be dealt with, or we could have another major terrorist attack on our hands!
All of the above.
And yet even with all those fancy regulations, restaurants are still filthy, and there's still SLIME IN THE ICE MACHINES!
Regulations don't keep restaurants clean, customers do (by not going to filthy restaurants).
Indeed, that's how White Castle became popular, they prepared everything in a spotless kitchen that was fully visible to the customers.

Strange how you can say anything on the internet and claim that it's true.
Incidentally, I dropped an apple out of my window yesterday and it fell up! True story.

That's what happens when you only have one bank (the Federal Reserve), even if it has thousands of different names...

So that fact that Japan has the lowest rate of rape in the world is just a coincidence?

Just because the government is doing it doesn't mean that it is in the public's best interest. Indeed, it's more often the other way around.
