Ships can launch surface to surface missiles and torpedoes as well. Ships are still perfectly capable of killing other ships. They just don't line up and broadside each other with 15 inchers anymore.

I like to think it meant they were going to climb out of their trenches and charge across no-man's land to attack the Germans(Google?). I can picture a bunch of people wearing Apple Genius uniforms charging across a muddy, crater filled field waving iPads to confront a bunch of Glass-wearing Google developers. And then suddenly a few Google self-driving cars slowly lumber onto the field sending the Apples back in a panic while flights of Amazon delivery drones buzz overhead dropping 1-2lb hand grenades.

SCAD has a building fairly close to the bridge. I honestly assumed it was a project from there when I heard it was a camera.

Nope. GSU is roughly 2.25 miles from 14th Street. Now, if they had a camera in Hurt Park or Woodruff Park, or on 75/85 near I-20 and the state capital, then maybe. Someone screwed up and should have notified GDOT and GHP (probably though GSU campus police) that they were intending to put a camera on the bridge.

Then he himself would be causing greater headlines than aliens, seeing as how he died about 4.5 years ago.

My grandmother lived in Sandy Springs off Johnson's Ferry near Roswell Road my whole life, and I grew up of Roswell Rd near the 120 loop. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Like I said, in Sandy Springs you have older, nicer homes surrounded by horrible run down apartment complexes. Head towards perimeter and Buckhead and yeah, you have mansions. People live in places like Woodstock precisely because they can afford $.5 million homes but want something bigger than a ranch or bungalow. Why pay half a million dollars for an 1800 sq foot 30 year old house when you can buy a brand new 3500sq ft house for the same price? You wold fit in real good with one of my sister's friends who is spending $1400 a month for an 800 sq ft apartment in Brookhaven (just so she can say she lives in Brookhaven) while I pay $1300 a month to rent a 1700 sq ft house out in Woodstock.

Now, I know Google is doing it on a neighborhood basis, so I doubt that most places in these cities won't get it as there are probably not enough people that can afford the $300 up front investment to make a whole neighborhood viable, so it will still be only the rich ones that get this. It just seems to me that picking areas where the income distribution isn't so large would open them up to more customers. Plus it would be much easier to add in fiber to new neighborhoods under construction than existing, older locations; they should have just partnered up with builders and promoted Google fiber already installed in the neighborhood and probably added $5k easy to the house prices.

College park is a shithole. Most of Decatur and Smyrna isn't much better. Sandy Springs has some nice areas but has really bad ones too. As a 28-year metro Atlanta resident, I am really wondering what Google was going for with this selection, as they could have done much better. Peachtree City, Woodstock, Roswell, places like that with 300k+ houses extremely common makes sense; not areas with horrible infrastructure and full of run down apartment complexes and old (not "nice" old either) houses.

I was being recruited for Hopkins' football team, which was Division III. They are actually well known for their lacrosse team, which is Division I and is one of the top collegiate lacrosse teams in the country.

All of them

That's the point I was making in that post: there is really no reason for me to carry around my AR-15 in public, and I don't. The only time I'm moving it in public is to go to the range, and I keep it in a case

Marriage comes with it tax breaks, the ability to transfer retirement or pensions to a spouse upon death, and other tangible benefits. The argument is that these benefits are being improperly denied to a subset of the population solely based upon the person they choose to marry. Should marriage only be limited to people of the same race? How about height, or weight, or hair color? No? Because that is discriminatory, arbitrary, and ridiculous. It's not so much a "right to marry" as it is simply a "right" to have access to the same benefits as anyone else to programs and benefits offered by the government.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

State in the true sense of the word- meaning a nation, not the popular US use, a slightly autonomous defined district whose laws are superceeded by those of a national body. Militia are groups of civilians, armed with their own weapons, who in a time of crisis fight alongside the standing army in the defense of their homes and their communities. Therefore it is intended that civilians should keep weapons so that they can be called up in times of national defense. At most the 2nd Amendment calls for training for gun owners, maybe require them once a month to attend a class (provided free by the government) where they shoot a few rounds to demonstrate basic proficiency in their firearm and review gun safety (exemptions from classes possibly for antique firearms/collectors, or those who would be unable to be called up in a militia by age or physical disability). There you have it: with this proposition every point in the 2nd Amendment is upheld, without any additional limitations than we have already.
