Obama apparently has no responsibility for anything. It's all Bush's fault.

Because the Ends Justifies the Means. Is that what you are saying?

That is about the most fun thing about the ruling. The Teacher's Union was skewered on their own (Liberal) Disparate Impact principals.

Having your own opinion is not the problem.

Weaving your opinion in and around the subjects you teach, like Math and Science and History, etc others, is the problem.

In your situation, the teachers should be allowed to be against the war. But railing on about it instead of teaching Algebra should not be allowed.

The Feds used one when they burned some 50 women and children to death in Waco.

Well, it's not like an infant is worrying about where he left his shitty diaper.

All these things 3D printing can do now. Imagine in 5-10 years what they will be able to create.

And people are having stupid arguments about plastic guns. Talk about a limited vision.

...how the city most likely deliberately ignored the parking issue because they were bringing in so much money. There is no doubt that they knew what was happening and made a conscious decision to leave things as they were.

Government at all levels have become adversarial as those who are employed by it seek to protect their revenue stream at all costs.

You and most others completely miss the point. Regardless of the deficiencies of current 3D printers they will only get better and be able to produce stronger and more sophisticated items.

Things that are illegal to manufacture or own now will be child's play to print and no one will be able to guess you did it. No paper trails, no pictures of you at some counter buying parts to assemble into an illegal item, etc.

Want some money? You don't have to be a skilled engraver, just print up some plates and go to town. Don't have a printing press? No problem, 3D print the parts and put it together.

How about something to put drugs into pill capsules. Did you know it's illegal for you to own such a device. ? No problem, just print out the parts and bolt'm together.

Printed guns are a side show.

I'm sure the same was said of video tape machines that were as large as a small car...no potential to become a very important technology.

Do you believe guns are the only dangerous and/or regulated device that will be possible to make on a 3D printer?

For instance, how about sometime in the future when internal combustion engines are outlawed...but if you have a 3D printer, then you are good to go (Note that I said the future which assumes far more sophisticated printers).

You are arguing that the Printing Press should be made illegal instead of making Libel a tortious act.

A first gen product using revolutionary technology and people are whining about it being unsafe? It's like complaining that the Model T didn't have airbags.

I think they are missing the point entirely. 3D printing will only become more sophisticated, using stronger materials and will be faster. People will be able to manufacture devices that are currently controlled or are so specialized that it hasn't occurred to the Feds to control them.

This is not about a plastic guns, this is about a paradigm shift that is no less momentous than VHS and later MP3s.

Externalities : Bullshit taxes imposed on successful products/endeavors to support pet projects of politicians.

Fuel taxes are a major part of the government revenue formula in Europe and nothing much to do with the actual cost of fuel.

Good. Because I would have a very hard time buying this knowing it's now owned by that cunt ZuckerAsshole.
