This is overly ideological. Agreed that the NSA probably doesn't control the Internet, however the argument that the government does or doesn't control the Internet cannot be assumed either way at this point. We do know the govern

This line of argument is kinda weak. Personally I agree with the end goals, but the argument isn't compelling. Realistically these companies don't have much choice, and these businesses end users for the most part (the 99.99% that

Difference is walmart is actually making money, amazon isnt. So Walmart can continue what they are doing forever and thats ok, if it were clear that amazon intends to continue what they are doing forever investors would bail and the remaini

Actually the Howard Samuels seemed pretty rational, was all for using marijuana as medicine, and even stated its less harmful than alcohol. He just was pretty clear on the fact that most of the users of marijuana are in it for the high, and

Definitely would fall into the impairs motor skills category. You can develop a tolerance for almost all drugs, even alcohol and yet many still fall within that category so wouldnt expect ganja to be any different.

Your not being cynical at all, its pretty much right on the money. Its pretty cut and dry either: LAST TIME, he didnt really look at the evidence and was just regurgitating the standard line without really doing scientific analysis OR THIS

What are his pharmacology credentials? Anyways far as I can tell his big revelation here is "yeah when i told you i looked at the facts before i really didn't but this time i did!". Makes me take all of his conclusions with a

My biggest critique is I don't understand what it really offers, I mean as far as distributed hosting of my files, isn't that just a web server? The commenting posting CMS stuff seems like a competitor to wordpress... so i am gues

well any given set of supreme court judges may come to any particular conclusion, and i am not a lawyer so take it for what its worth: parallel construction as concept probably there could be some debate over the specific implementation whe

I think your kind of making the exact point your trying to argue against.

If you know the 'hint' is 50% likely to be true, and the 'hint' is specific enough to check this person at this time, in this place, and the 'hint' provider and the 'hint' acceptor are all working for

yoour on the soap box and not really responding to the issues at hand... there is no such thing as a non commercial interest?

No, really Yes but No... I dont think that if your corporation purposefully bribes judges to imprison children for profit, i dont think a civil court fine is sufficient. These guys should be going to jail for decades.

do you remember only about 4 months ago a fake tweet on associated press twitter account about the whitehouse being bombed caused a stock market flash crash of nearly 1% which is over 100 billion dollars in the matter of 10 seconds or so???

Ehhh, I mean I dont think this psuedo meat will ever taste EXACTLY like a burger either. Frankly, if one were to spend this kind of time, money and effort to produce a 'tasty' no meat burger probably you could get something of sim

Art is a racket. Not art as the human endeavor of expression, or art as the appreciation of beauty. Art as a business is ABSOLUTELY a racket in the same way that dutch tulips were a racket once upon a time. Nothing wrong with that at all in

I like some of your platform, but your post seems to be completely unrelated to the article. If anything this specific article details story of very widespread scale corruption among state and municipal government.

The DOJ's definition isn't "subtly" broken. It is completely a willful attempt to circumvent established law and precedent with a very convoluted trail of reasoning. Also not sure if this is really DOJ's definition,

I completely understand the technical distinction, however I find the argument hypertechnical and completely violating the spirit of the law. Honestly seems like the whole point of SOD is to get around the poison fruit guideline.

This isn't outrage porn, hysteria or anything else. Its simple violation of the american judicial system. Point blank period. As for your downvotes, dont agree with downvoting someone just because you disagree with them.

If you grew up without deodorant being available, you probably would not have a gag reflex to strong body odor. Now there are always exceptions, some people have excessive body odor, and probably anyone who hasnt bathed in a couple weeks wo
