Obviously not, since your post mentioned that atrocity and this one doesn't.
According to the rules of grammar, it does, technically.
which legalisation will lead to an inevitable increase in.
Bullshit.
Portugal.
You lose.
Go away.
"Your body needs a certain amount of calories for basic functions and this is around 2000 calories."
That's a measure of caloric intake, not output. And it's an average, not an extreme low end.
Orangutans are the only great ape that walks like that, though, and they're primarily brachiators. Chimps and gorillas walk on the second knuckle rather than the first.
I'm a veteran. Anyone with an interest, and my SSN can easily verify that. I don't know how much more info such an interested party can get, but he can easily verify that I am an honorably discharged veteran.
Convicts? Ditto. In fact, all you need is to be arrested these days, and that arrest record follows you forever, unless you can convince a judge to have it expunged.
Most especially, sex offenders. Get run in for pissing on some shrubbery, you're automatically a sex offender, and you've got to register with whatever county you live in, forevermore.
Mentally incompetent people? Spend a weekend at the local looney bin, get turned loose because you don't have insurance to pay for treatment, and there is no record. You can walk straight from the nuthouse to the gun shop, and fill out the paperwork to get a gun.
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things doesn't belong
Can you guess which thing doesn't involve due process
By the time I finish my song?
Dooo doo doo dooo doo doo doolooloo......
I'm totally sure that students with fireworks would never dream of regularly pranking whatever school had this setup...
Jaguar Land Rover, British but Indian owned, are exporting very well.
Does its engine make a sound like: "WHOOOOOSH"?
In recent years Baltimore City [wikipedia.org] tried that approach.
...except, of course, they didn't try any such approach. People in Baltimore are still getting into gunfights over drug-selling disputes in exactly the same way that corner-store owners aren't getting into gunfights over grocery-selling disputes.
Focusing on violence is great and all, and I'm glad to see it had a positive effect, but the root problem remains: a fucking huge high-demand market, that will never, EVER go away, in which there is no legal way to settle disputes.
Does the difference in taste and a minor improvement in nutrition outweigh the serious illnesses you can get from it?
Shouldn't that be up to the people consuming it? It's not like CFC bulbs or leaded gasoline where it hurts people that aren't consuming it on purpose.
These hypothetical situations are irrelevent.
The purpose of leaving a fence out of your yard is not to facilitate escape from the Police.
The purpose of pooling tools with your neighbors is not to facilitate murder.
The purpose of using zip car is not to facilitate traffice violations.
The purpose of using TOR is to anonymize data.
...which we all now know you believe is inherently a crime.
Thank you for being so candid, Mr. Buddha. We will duly take your opinion into consideration when in the future you choose to comment on internet privacy issues.
It's not like communism magically changes everyone's hearts to love and selflessness.
What? Of course it does! Using the exact same mechanism by which Libertarianism turns everyone into fully-informed rational actors!
Gundam is not an exoskeleton!
Nor is it the responsibility of the Japanese Agriculture Ministry!
If you want to lose weight, eat less!
Except to have the willpower to decide to eat less, you need to eat more! Oh, shit!
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
