So I just want to make sure I understand the criticism, as I feel we may have inadvertently drifted here: Someone who knows the risks (physical, emotional, mental what have you and furthermore etcetera) of a job shouldn't be afforded c

I didn't ask why we don't get to judge. That wasn't part of, point of, or component of any of what I just said.

So I have this question about 'victim blaming': How do we distinguish genuinely blaming the victim, and bringing a spotlight to the culpability of the alleged? We don't have 100% of the background facts of this situation, so

You know what, you're absolutely right. We don't get to judge her her financial acumen. We don't get to judge her on anything really that doesn't impact other people in a negative fashion. I'm just evaluating vario

Well, I-personally-don't know if "issue" is really the right word to use. I will say, as someone who drinks that brand of Bourbon quite regularly-the act causes me to ask if she's spending her money wisely living in one

I recall seeing elsewhere that the employee wasn't fired for blogging about starving, but that she was found to have used her personal account to leave-in some cases-distasteful comments on some customer pages, and outright offensive o

That doesn't seem to address the parent's point that no one is forcing them to take the job, No one forces self-employed independent contractor tradesmen to become self-employed independent contractor tradesmen, and yet when one

Agreed to both, I have a Macbook and that's the only apple product I own (sans mouse and keyboard of course), and I'll almost certainly NEVER use that finger print function on a device connected to the cloud (ostensibly), but I&

IANAL, but how is it a subpoena if it doesn't originate from the judiciary?

>If governments are going to charge high and involuntary taxes on things, we shouldn't be surprised when people shop around where they are able. I don't disagree with this at all, actually. In some respects, would you consider

There are a few theories including the social contract, and implied social contract which argue that citizens have consented to accept the authority of governments (unfortunately those are both wrong) I don't think I have much of an

>You might argue that the state is entitled to do these things, but what would give them this authority?[1] In the case of the United States, doesn't the Sixteenth Amendment give the State (meaning government, the entity, not State

When you say 'minified' in regards to code, what does that mean exactly? More concise code that simply does the same thing as larger chunks of markup?

Are you saying the United states lacks the authority to regulate commerce within her own borders?

But...Legislatures and courts designate regulatory agencies, through enabling acts[1] that allows said agency to exist and which lists its jurisdiction and areas of responsibility. That's how regulatory bodies exist, it's what th
