Agreed. I will start taking notice of polls once more when they go back in the sidebar.

I'm prettty sure his heart is the same as everyone else's. TL;DR: it's an organ that pumps blood around his body. Unless he has an artifical heart, but would that really exonerate him of responsibility? It's his brain that made the decisions, and that almost certainly isn't artificial.

Too lazy, didn't run. What's the conclusion? Does this mean that nuclear power is awesome or awful?

And when the last new woman born runs our of eggs, we end up stuck with the existing population and no more humans can be born, ever. As we die due to accidents, the population dwindles to zero. Good riddance to us, I say, for being so stupid!

The old have to make way for the young. Stop desperately grasping hold of the dry, dusty moments of increasingly stretched existence. Step aside and let the next generation have their turn. Upload your consciousness into a computer, and believe the illusion that that's still you in there, if that makes you feel happier, but get your corpse underground you selfish old coot.

Anything that is in the public domain, and anything that is "basic research", is exempt.

Translating a car chase or an explosion into a foreign language is cheap.

Care to explain what the potential students who didn't get in have done wrong?

How does "a minority group being discriminated against" have anything to do with affirmative action?

The blame for a transactional crime lies with the people with the money who are creating a market for crime to fulfull.

You live on the equator?

Extradition is nearly always about things that didn't happen in the country that the person is being extradited from*. So are you contesting that extradition is inherently invalid in all circumstances? And, guilty of that or not, he skipped bail which is a 12 month imprisonment offence in the UK.

No it isn't anything like speeding. A criminal act in Norway is alleged. That act would also have been criminal here. We have an extradition treaty with Norway, and they do not have excessive punishments for this crime over there, so we extradite. Simple.

*Gary McKinnon is a shameful counter-example, but at least we decided not to extradite him in the end

Not the text, "just the amount of "nested" quote marks"! It's hard to keep count, but I think we're left with two un-closed quote contexts at the end.

Both that post, and the article, are talking about attempting to make some correction for an existing imbalance, not reversing the imbalance so it swings the other way.
