It would be like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving.

.I love the way Japan's Defense Force isn't really an army/navy/airforce through clever use of terminology. Take this aircraft carrier^H^H^H^H destroyer for example...

I think you misread the article - its about training medics how to deal with casualties whilst they are under fire and is probably as close as you can get short of having them on a real battlefield. The "battlefield trauma" relates to injuries on the battlefield, not whether medics are traumatized in dealing with the situation, although improving the ability of them to handle the situation they are in will reduce the likelihood of this happening.

Battlefield medics have to make hard decisions, including deciding not to treat casualties who are unlikely to survive if they are under severe pressure.

I am amazed that my frothy latte with chocolate sprinkles, a dose of cinnamon syrup and 3 sugars is only 5 calories.... :-)

I just wish everyone would lettuce alone....

...or you could phrase it as the UK that had to preserve the independance of Canada by burning down the White House... ..or the UK that assisted with the development of codebreaking and radar so you could win against the Japanese ...or the UK that got the US started on jet and atomic weapon technology

etc etc.

Does it make ne extremely low in the Drake equation?

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere.... Red Dwarf

No even in these cases we believe that gun use should be controlled and limited. Your average UK policeman does not carry a gun, although I accept he/she can call on backup which does. The military is only allowed to play with guns when the Prime Minister says so...

Why not for intentionally snuffing someone? As a murder weapon, a plastic gun has a lot of benefits - you can simply melt the gun after the event and therefore eliminate a major source of forensic evidence.

Google is not arbitrarily farming personal data, it is providing a link to an item that was in a local paper. The information in the local paper is a matter of public record. As you have stated yourself, local papers should be able to have searchable archives and these archives should exist for eternity in my humble opinion.

I am not of the opinion that people should be screwed forever, but if I vote for someone I definitely want to know his entire history for a lot longer than 6 years. Every side has a chance to mud-sling and it should be easy for people to fact check for themselves. If one side is mud-slinging I want to be able to find out for myself if the mud-slinging has a basis in fact or is an unsubstantiated allegation. There is an equal belief in America that people are allowed to get back on their feet after screwing up - its almost a badge of honour to have a failed business startup and the big question is whether they learned from their mistakes.

From browsing your comments, you seem to take an actively hostile and abusive, ad-hominem line in your arguments when someone has the temerity to disagree. I think this law will gain "mission creep" and is antithetical to the idea of the ability to easily access information that the Internet supports today.
