I meant providing all the tweets in a simpler form, as opposed to excluding some of the tweets entirely, but I suppose it would make sense to at least test on a small subset of tweets first.

provide a limited version of the database with only some information from the tweets, so there's less data to search through? (of course, keep the full data in case a search depends on it)
The big 'full faith and credit' case, that has never had its day in court, for whatever reason, is probably the one that would erupt if a homosexual couple duly married according to the procedures of a state where such is legal were to demand that a state where it isn't(or is overtly banned at the constitutional level) give full faith and credit to the actions of the state that married them. That one would get a bit touchy...
I figured that clause obviously would have spread gay marriage throughout the US from the states where it's legal.
There are some gay marriage cases on their way to the Supreme Court right now, but they hinge on other Constitutional issues.
"Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof." may be a loophole that DOMA abuses.
Perspective? Lobotomy began with extremely careful scraping of the brain, meant to do the absolute minimum damage possible. Then some greedy quack in the USA took it to a ridiculous extreme, turning a nice young lady into a wheelchair-bound mess because her stuck-up family was worried about their social standing, and that soon degenerated into a procedure that should have been called a crime against humanity:

That wiki link redirects to the Lobotomy article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobotomy#Notable_cases mentions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy which seems to fit your description - is that what you meant?
I'm tempted to agree with you on that.
Eugenics does seem logical, although perhaps too coldly logical.
Many things work better in theory than in practice. Is it actually possible to separate eugenics from racism and other such irrational bigotry? Ironically, purging inconsequential characteristics weakens the gene pool. Also, why would homosexuality evolve?
or physical injuries to the head, but the point is the same - part X of the brain is damaged, subject's function Y is impaired, so part X is related to function Y
I wonder if this is a $cientology anti-psychiatry rant.
yeah, I have smaller versions of my collection for smaller drives, with the most important stuff being on the smaller drives for the most part. It's amazing how little space the personal documents use up compared to the music collection.

I interpreted that as "stuff I could re-pirate"
it seems unfair and counterproductive to shut out people who acquired the product elsewhere - logically, their opinions would be just as valid as people who purchased the product on Amazon.
However, I don't see how you could reliably allow those while still reliably shutting out people who haven't used the product at all.
Also, purchased-on-Amazon can lead to seller/shipment complains irrelevant to the product itself, a different problem.
a lot of critics seem to be at their best when making fun of bad stuff. assuming the thing really is bad, then that's both entertaining and fair.
there's plenty of people who are apparently incapable of reading the product description before purchase and then give horrible reviews because their new pizza slicer makes a lousy HDTV antenna. Or down-rate a product because the particular supplier they purchased from took six weeks to deliver it, or the UPS guy decided to play street hockey with the box, etc.
Yes, many people leave reviews unrelated the product. That's a negative that Amazon should do something about (delete those after users flag them?) but there still seems to be plenty of upside in having more reviews.
okay, 50 Shades sounds like crap, but I often see fanboys/fangirls overrate decent stuff - modern mainstream franchises are most likely to have such problems, and it can annoy the saner fans.

I resent Hunger Games being associated with Twilight, much deeper despite some surface similarities
The page is still up to me. looks like a normal profile from what's publicly visible.
