As someone who goes to caves, you should be aware more than most of the cross-contamination you are unwittingly causing. One of the leading thoughts on white nose disease in bats is it is caused by the transportation of bacteria and such from one cave to another.

A family member works for the Bureau of Land Management and has seen firsthand what happens when people randomly go in and out of caves. Once a single bat has a white nose, the entire colony is on a death march, not to mention the general trash spelunkers leave behind or the damage they can cause.

but things like this are used more and more to justify land closures.

If people wouldn't screw things up, or destroy parts of a park, or just not think, then this wouldn't be an issue, would it?

To use a phrase, this is why we can't have nice things.

You put the cannons at the windows, and shoot at the wings of the other planes. Once they are hit, you throw hooks to hijack and loot!

Similar to how Peter used cannons to loot this poor mans sugar cane, tobacco and spices.

"Your book, that I downloaded in digital format rather than the bulky dead wood format, is unreadable as I sit on the subway/bus on my way to work. This is an outrage!"

Apparently the person(s) who complained have such perfect lives and no other issues to worry about, they had to find something to complain about.

Since asshats like to take vertical movies with their phones,

Or maybe phone makers shouldn't make shitty products which create the sidebars in the first place. You never had this problem when shooting analog movies, it has only occurred when we "upgraded" to digital.

The world doesn't exist only left to right. It also goes up.

the case-sensitve file system was one of the major risk factors.

Don't worry, as XKCD shows, this is not an issue.

Colorado already proved that with the tax revenue they brought in from legalized marijuana,

False. Colorado brought in 20% of the promised revenue from legalization and the prospects of them meeting their initial projections are about as likely as Steve Ballmer running Linux.

Before you then say, "Well, they at least got something," I would like to remind you of this article wherein people on here were claiming Chicago's use of red light cameras a failure when they only got 44% of the initial projected income. Apparently getting 44% of of something is much worse than getting 20% of something.

Still further, Colorado is seeing the general effects of people being stoned, such as deaths, robberies and murder, and of course the general loss of productivity from people unable to perform their jobs such as two nurses who quit their good paying jobs at a hospital where a family member works because they would have failed the mandatory drug tests.

Just like Kansas' failed experiment of lowering taxes and cutting services didn't magically produce more revenue, whatever amount of money Colorado brings in will be eaten up by the side effects of legalization and, as this article clearly indicates, bordering states will also suffer financial losses and deaths.

It's not? Funny, I live in this country just as much as I live in my home.

The only ones who are insane are those who believe a country doesn't have a right to know who is coming and going across their borders.

Which has nothing to do with the question I asked.

No one is saying people from other countries shouldn't be allowed to work in the U.S. (I'm not), what is being asked is they do it legally and with proper documentation.

So again, I ask the question, do you let random people walk in and out of your place without knowing who they are?

Do you let random people walk into your home any time of the day or night without knowing who they are?

If not, why should the United States?

That is all.

to convince people to work where they live.

Because there's nothing I like better than opening my window on a nice spring evening and having to listen to the honking of car/truck horns, the accompanying smell of exhaust, people yelling up and down the street, drunk staggering about and talking to themselves at 2 in the morning and people who think it's acceptable to have a party on the street a 4 AM.

Maybe you like to keep your windows closed every day of the year, but there are those of us who like to breathe relatively clean air and not have to deal with inconsiderate slobs who think it's their right to do what they want, whenever they want, without consideration for those around them.

It's my understanding there are places called morgues where fingers could be readily obtained.

Between the city allowing illegals to roam free and police attempting to (or succeeding) erase encounters with the public, there isn't really a reason to visit.

Or maybe they didn't have their cameras where the looting was taking place. If they only had one crew it would be difficult under the circumstances for them to report it happening.

The did report on, and show, the body found in the burning car and showed pictures of blacks protecting white-owned businesses.

As to Brown, no sympathy. As the evidence showed, what some initially reported was completely false and even made up. He was hardly the saint people tried to make him out to be.
