Ok...while I actually applause most of what this wants to promote, I don't see how the Feds can possibly do this INTER-state nullification of the laws.

I can see how they might could try with INTER-state laws, but these are municipal and intRA-state laws they're talking about nullifying. If they can do this, what state laws can the feds NOT just nullify at will?

Hey, I think it would be GREAT to now be able to live in the USA, and not speak spanish.

Especially when traveling through TX and AZ. More and more it seems that English is becoming the 2nd language there and in other parts of the US.

True..b.ut they are open till after 2am i the morning and when driving home from the bar...it can taste mighty good.

That leftover couple of burritos helps during the hangover the next day too.

You know...someone that cannot be troubled to take the small amount of time and effort to register to vote, and go to the poll to vote, likely is also NOT the type of person to take any amount of time to study the issues or people up for election and therefore, not someone I'd actively encourage to make a vote.

No vote is better than an ill-informed / non-informed vote.

Whatever happened to Freenet?

I thought that was supposed to be the big deal with anonymous websites, etc?

Now say burrRRrrito. Then dial it back a bit and you're golden. Well, bronzed at least.

I've never had a problem with this. No matter how I pronounce burrito, rolled R's or not....they give me what I want at Taco Bell, no problems, no big deal.

:D

...but what about the important stuff?

What's the 0-60mph times?

Torque can you burn tires with this?

Does it look cool, or just another boring family car?

Yep..once they get out and start earning and having to live off their OWN money, and start seeing how much the govt takes off the top in taxes, they start naturally getting a bit conservative and want to keep more of their own hard earned bucks.

You don't need to worry. This proposal has ZERO chance of becoming law. There is no way that a Republican congress is going to run up the debt to fund Obama's pet project. The only reason that Obama is even proposing it is so the Republicans can reject it, and then the Dems can use it against them in 2016.

Trouble is...Obama doesn't seem to know or care about what the constitutional limitations on Presidential powers are supposed to be. I pretty much will count on him doing and Executive Action (Decree) for this and try to bypass congress.

The vendors have assured us that their servers are secure!

Adblock Plus, Ghostery, NoScript, HOSTS - need I go on? We all know that the web is exploited by a bunch of assholes who view us as sources of revenue. So - arm yourself to stop the flow of revenue. You're right, I don't go back to a restaurant where an ignorant ADHD waiter ruins my meal. So, I don't keep going back to annoyingadserver.USA The damned thing is blocked, first on my router, then on my computer, then in my browser.

Blackjack is the other casino game that can be "beaten". It's played against the house, but the house plays like a robot, and its only advantage is that it takes double busts (hands where both the the player's cards and the dealer's cards total more than 21). The player has plenty of advantages, including double payout for player A-10, the "insurance" side bet on dealer A-10, split A and 8, double down on 10 or 11, and standing on less than 17. There's a basic strategy that by itself makes the house advantage negligible, and if you can mentally estimate when A-10 is more likely, you can know when to bet higher and when to insure. This was enough for the MIT Blackjack Team to turn a modest profit.

I gotta go look that one up again. I could swear everything I've ever read on Blackjack, basic strategy, etc....says never take insurance, that is is a loser for the player.

I'd rather have an educated society than not. Wouldn't you?

That's what the public school system is supposed to be for, to give a basic education that can be used going forward in life. Let's get that better, eh?

But why should I have to pay even MORE in taxes to send someone to college. I may need that money to send my OWN kids to school. That money could have been used to save since my kids were born in order to have money put aside for their college when they got old enough. Why should I pay for others that didn't plan and save like I did?

I'm sorry, I am not my brothers keeper.

If people can afford college, there are trade schools that are MUCH more affordable and give students skills that frankly are more directly applicable to getting a good job than many college courses do to prepare them for a job.

Hell, most of the people I know, self included, have careers that have NOTHING to do with the degrees they achieved.

College isn't for everyone. It isn't a right.

The world needs ditch diggers too.

Not everyone needs to go to college, If they can't afford it, there are very good living levels to be made by learning a trade. Hell, plumbers around here make more than some GP physicians at the lower levels.

Basically, you believe that the ends justifies the means. In this case, the ends are to extract money from the masses. And, the means involves lying.

This has damned near nothing to do with enforcing copyright law. Perhaps you didn't notice the name of the corporation involved - Rightscorp, acting on behalf of BMG. Or, you've forgotten how they've made news in the past. They dwell among the scum of the earth. They have been shot down time and again for exploiting loopholes in the law. And, oh yeah - perhaps you've also failed to notice that in this case, they are indeed exploiting a loophole in the law.

Rightscorp has no intellectual property to protect. It is nothing more than a remora, living off the larger shark, BMG.

Scum.

If you have any real intellectual property to worry about, are you willing to allow a remora like company to attach itself to you, so that it can milk money out of your property?
