I hate the pages that wait a couple seconds for you to scroll down and start reading, then they have a banner ad at the top that auto-expands, which makes the spot you are reading scroll down, then after you have re-scrolled to compensate,

I don't know why they got raided any more than you. (I suspect it to be exactly how the article presents it since I have no reason to think otherwise.) I was just pointing out that they did mention it again in the article since you see

The last full paragraph wraps it up thus: The Hartes are also a white, financially sound couple who both happened to have worked for the CIA. Most people on the receiving end of these raids aren’t white, aren’t middle-class, didn’t once wo

If you send me to get you lunch and I pay for it, say $8, with my own money, you would reimburse me the $8. If you gave me an extra $1 for my trouble, you have compensated me.

While all of what you said might be true... it shouldn't be a felony to hand out flyers telling people what others had decided not to tell them. If the jury has a set of rights then they should be made aware of those rights, even the u

In addition to that, they have almost no accountability for breaking your checked bags or the stuff inside. One time we had an industrial plastic tool case get damaged. It appeared as though the fork from a forklift had rammed into it and p

Wow... she was really rude on that audio clip. I understand she was a bit freaked out but she was rude while the cops were being very calm with her. She just keeps talking in circles, interrupting them, asking the same questions over agai

I see how that came across differently than I meant. And I actually don't really care what the other country does. If they don't care to know when people are coming and going that is between them and their people. One time (maybe

Agreed. I don't think we need a wall either. But we do need something. I was just pointing out that putting up a wall doesn't make you a bad person.

#1 & #3 are just different implementations of the same idea. Putting up a wall does make you "North Korea" any more than having a locked front door on your house does. You can simultaneously make it easier for them to enter le

I'm not exactly sure who gets the info every time my passport gets scanned but I would imagine both the country I'm leaving and the country I'm entering know about it. I've never been out of country for more than a few w

I didn't say we needed to track people as they move about the interior of the country. That would be ridiculous. But it is not too much to ask that we know who is coming and going across the border. When I leave the country my passport

I quote the author: Not long ago, I was walking with a friend to a crowded restaurant when I spotted two cops in line and froze. I tried to figure out how to get around them without having to walk past them. I no longer wanted to eat there

Regardless of how many of one group of people are mistreated, it is not a given that anyone from that group that claims mistreatment is being truthful. Sometimes people who seek attention will pick an issue that many think is beyond reproac

Since the world at large does not have trigger warnings, it must be terrifying for those effected to even leave the house. How does one even function in the world when at any minute something could trigger without warning?

That could be solved easily (and probably more accurately) by just having a few nudge buttons or some other UI. Use them for those "Move left a few more inches" or "Back up just a little more" situations. These cars shou
