My wife and I both went to school for free while I worked full-time. We do have massive student loan debt, but we we knew we would. I regret it now, but it sure was fun spending all that money at the beginning of every semester, so I count it as money well spent.

Now you're getting it.

Comparing gun control in Britain with gun control in the US is like comparing British and US comedy. If Honey Boo Boo is funny for the US, it must be good enough for the British.

(If you don't know who Honey Boo Boo is, count your blessings. I've seen one commercial, and it saddened me that I was an American).

But the NSA won't read your comment, cause they only track the metadata. And everyone knows metadata can never be changed.

Taking money from dumb people should never be illegal. If you're dumb enough to believe that a Nigerian prince needs $50k to transfer $100m to the US. Then by all means, this should be legal.

Ponzi schemes should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but the burden of proof should be on the schemed.

For instance, if I ask you for $1k, and promise to return you $10k in 6 months with no proof or explanation of my scheme, that should be perfectly fine and legal.
On the other hand, if I have a porftolio with 100 other investors, and their phone numbers and you call them, and they say yeah this is legit, this man is a genius, blah blah blah. And I take you're money and flee the country, then yes that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Or this

Don't you mean island?

I imagine Oracle's Mission statement is the exact opposite of Googles.

No, they incarcerate more. Racism is unfortunately worldwide.

"Black prisoners make up 15% of the prisoner population and this compares with 2.2% of the general population – there is greater disproportionality in the number of black people in prisons in the UK than there is in the United States."

Maybe the US govt can start twampling the 6th through 10th amendments next year

Don't forget the 1st, 2nd and of course the 4th.

In fact, the 3rd amendment is the only one that I'm aware of that they haven't tried to violently violate, yet.

I agree, that's why I sold my 1st gen iPad. I don't expect a decade of support, but at least more than 2 years.

Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?

Peasant 1: Bread.

Peasant 2: Apples.

Peasant 3: Very small rocks.

I agree that we in the US have long ago since stopped being the land of the free, but I don't think Stalin is a good comparison. I doubt we really know how many people disappeared in the night, how many were actually incarcerated, how many were sent to Siberia, how many were just killed outright.
