Because some times the UN is our puppet. I think that McCain generally likes the UN, more so than other Republicans, although I could be way off on this one.
Sometimes? We have veto power.
We’ve created a memory device with the physical properties of Jell-O
Yes, yes but which does it work better with: rum or vodka?
Except that's obviously not true. If the right to life can not be taken away by man's laws, how do you justify the death penalty? If the right to liberty can not be taken away by man's laws, how do you justify imprisonment? Obviously the enumerated rights can be taken away, via due process, when it is deemed in the interest of society to do so.
I don't think you understand.... The DoI protects your rights more then you think
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
Protecting these rights is why the constitution was written in the first place. The threat of a 2nd declaration of independence is what keeps the government in check.
> last time I read the document, it began with "WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT". *Self-evident*...
Read it again. That line is not in the US constitution, it's in the declaration of independence. The sentiment definitely informs all of the founding documents, but it's far from a legally-binding portion of the highest law of the US.
But it also says that the rights are inalienable, and endowed by our creator. i.e. can't be taken away by man's laws.
I just upgraded from Window XP to WIndows 7 now you want to tell me you're planning windows 8 already with in the year? It's not like windows seven is another vista, it's a solid OS and is remarkably stable, why do I want Windows 8?

Win 2k was great
Win Me Sucked balls
Win Xp was pretty good
Win Vista was smoking crack
Win 7 is usable
you might as well not even bother checking out 8
The summary conveniently fails to mention that it comes with an autograph of the first man to set foot on the moon, one of the men who actually raised the flag on the moon. The autograph is on a photo of the flag raising so the flag scrap seems to be something to enhance the signature.
so.... for 100K you don't just get some fabric, you also get some ink on a piece of paper?
My dad owned the same electric can opener my whole life, which is to say it over 30 years old. My dad owned the same clothes dryer my whole life, which is to say it over 30 years old.
I cant find an electric can opener that lasts 6 months.
Therefore I say: The Chinese need to learn to make things.
America, Fuck yea.
I don't think you get it... When you make a product that lasts, you destroy all future sales.
Here's hoping you're not actually serious about that
Maybe not abolished, but limited...
My personally belief is we would be better off if the original term of copyrights and patents were returned to their 14 year limit they were set at in 1790. Keep all the other goodness, But if someone can write one book and live of the proceeds for the rest of their life I don't see how it can continue contributing to the arts more then being in the public domain. they should be required to add something useful every decade or so.
The whole discussion of a Chinese Firewall is purely academic. It takes only about $2/month to go around it.
The average income in China is about $5 a day. They aren't worried about foreigners getting on the unfiltered web.
Memory fault -- core...uh...um...core... Oh dammit, I forget!
