The police are liable if they don't follow-up on the report, and reports are often tailored to be vague by the neighbor to ensure a confrontation with police. That said, its not up to the police to decide the law, its up to the judge o

Thanks for the recommendation. I hadn't heard about this book, and I'm always looking for new books that help frame problems better. Just based off what I saw regarding this, its probably not the best as a starter book. It can rea

That's very naive and misguided, but you are right in your word choice. It can completely "liberate" all of us and set us free. Free of our mortal shackles, free of the atoms that can be then changed to a more suitable existe

Africa is a big continent and that is a big generalization. I don't see what point you are trying to make by discounting dangers that are studied and very real. If your life depended on knowing about these things, won't you be sur

We had close friends growing up who were originally from Argentina during that time period in the early 90s, they were clearly traumatized by it. They told stories of raising chickens for eggs, and goats for milk/cheese/food, and

Lets do some basic math, and then afterwards I think it will be clear how it might be better to grow your own food. Also, not everyone makes that much, and you seem to think that's a lot but its really not, especially if inflation is e

In many areas, before you can be assigned to roles that interact with the public you generally have to have a number of years handling transfers, which often include hardened criminals for medical, court, jail/prison. It might be absur

I'm not sure about that, but they certainly aren't required to provide information needed to validate a warrant is legitimate. California recently had a gang round-up where warrants that were provided as the basis for searches for

I'm sure they would simply say it was from improper training since most police recruits are never taught the law, and are often only dealing with hardened criminals for the first 5 years on-the-job.

Its actually not that unexpected, a big contributor is inflation. If you've any experience with Argentina, or other hyper-inflationary events, there comes a point where your labor is more valuable to you than what others are willing to

The answer is quite simple but no one wants to address the massive elephant in the room. The future our father's made for us starting in the 1980s is barely live-able. We have continued that tradition forward, and offer nothing new and

This isn't a banking crisis. This is an economic attack and the intent seems to be so the banking sector can consolidate further. Its being done with the tacit approval of the fed. Every action taken in the last 50 years has been to sl
