I work in education, and this is complete bullshit. Just because you can't physically search a student doesn't mean you call the fucking cops. Are you kidding me? If the student refuses to give up the phone and is disruptive you send the student out of class, to the principal, etc. I doubt any of you claiming otherwise actually work in a school, despite your claims.

Life is carbon based. That's it. You can't detect non carbon based life, because it isn't life. As we have never seen anything life-like that isn't carbon-based, the definition of life has always been carbon-based. You may find something non-carbon based that can do some similar to life things, but it's simply not life. This isn't semantics although it seems so, it's just a fact. You don't get to redefine a scientific truth simply to fit your needs.

Once again the news media loves to misrepresent the science to make it seem like there is some "controversy." These ideas have not been controversial, and the idea that certain acquired traits can be inheritable has been accepted for a long, long time. I'm not surprised, though, ./ has no shame.

That's just as bullshit. 3 cups of coffee can have as little as 240mg (nothing to someone who drinks coffee regularly) or as much as 510mg (yeah that's a lot). 3 cups isn't specific at all.

This isn't news at all. We've known high doses of stimulants cause hallucinations for decades. I fail to see what is new about this study.

Wikipedia is not a primary resource, and not a reliable secondary. I never had a singly class in college that allowed anything but a primary resource as a source. I would question the validity of any education that does, especially such an academically unreliable secondary source such as wikipedia. It's good for looking things up for fun, that's it.

It's legal in the US too, no matter how many people say otherwise. The law is relatively clear.

It doesn't have to be your own music. You simply must own the file legally i.e: have purchased it. I can't believe I keep having to repeat this. THERE IS NO US LAW THAT MAKES SHARING LEGALLY PURCHASED MUSIC ILLEGAL THERE IS NO US LAW THAT MAKES SHARING LEGALLY PURCHASED MUSIC ILLEGAL

The problem is you have every legal right to share music you legally purchased. Show me the law that says otherwise. It doesn't exist.

Are you serious? New York is one of the safest cities in the world. You wouldn't get mugged.

That's a lie, considering that they ask for your fingerprints. That is absolutely new information.

Exactly. The law is hardly the arbiter of right and wrong. Something can very easily be right yet be illegal, just as something can easily be wrong yet be legal. So who cares if taking it out would be illegal? It's for the public good.
