I agree it's way too much work for individuals to do this kind of research on their own. Most of this data isn't even accessible in the first place. I think we need to understand and take advantage of GREED to make a difference he

My sister was killed 5 months ago as a result of injuries from a car accident where someone was negligent. That person is currently in prison. My family had the opportunity to make the penalties much harsher for that person, but we decided

I read about this story a while back, very sad. However, she not only had diplomatic immunity, but a foreign government was saying she should be thrown in jail for up to 14 years for an accident. How can you blame her for returning to her o

I know the recent charges list them as members of the Chinese "military", but I wouldn't be surprised if they also did work under the Chinese "intelligence agency" umbrella...especially considering their skillsets.

Considering how much crap the NSA has pulled over the years, I wouldn't consider this an "act of war". More-so tit-for-tat provoking and power posturing. China knows they are the swingin-big-dick of world manufacturing, not t

This is one of those topics where people should really learn from human history rather than jump to conclusions because they sound good at first thought: The Four Pests Campaign, was one of the first actions taken in the Great Leap Forward

I'm saying the only reason they just started doing this is because they got caught doing the complete opposite (which directly lead to millions in extra unethical sales). Why aren't they adding these "new features" for a
