Comment Re:Who eats doughnuts with the doughnut men? (Score -1, Troll) 468

Perhaps the police should stop behaving in was that make non-criminals scared of them.

Perhaps.

...but lets not pretend that the reason you identify police on Waze exists for any other reason but to let other speeding drivers know to slow down until they pass the cop and speed back up to well above the speed limit. The feature isn't in Waze so that patriots can champion our civil rights; it's there so speeders can speed.

I'm OK with this, but...lets be honest in our discussions.

I was 8 when I stood in line with my family outside of the Cine Capri to watch Star Wars. I probably watched it 50 more times in the theaters over the next few years, mostly summer matinees. Eventually I got to watch it on ONTV - my family's first PPV of any sort - and then on 3rd generation Beta tapes after that. I still have the bedsheets somewhere :)

The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.

While he certainly screwed up my after-Christmas plans, I'm not quite ready to have him test new lethal injection drugs in Florida yet...

An 18-year old non-violent offender should get an option to demonstrate the three R's of the criminal defense system. Remorse, recant, restitution.

He needs a felony charge (that matches his crimes) that, upon successful completion of jail/probation/community-service can be commuted to a misdemeanor.

Take a "clear cut" situation. During a border inspection a car is found heavily modified full of secret compartments. In the compartments the border agents discover a couple pounds of designer drugs, a Class-3/Tax Stamp worthy weapon of some sort, and $20,000 in cash.

What should they do with the X?
What should they do with the machine gun?
What should they do with the $20,000?
What should they do with the car?

I'm not advocating any position here - just asking the question.
