If we sent illegal aliens home rather than coddling them and giving them amnesty despite breaking the law, disease infection wouldn't be an issue, would it?

Why should I have to pay for rehab for a drunk? They're the ones who couldn't control themselves. As I said in the beginning, if they have money to buy alcohol they have money to pay for their own treatment. In fact, this would address two issues: they would have to go to rehab or face jail and by spending money on rehab they'd have less money to spend on purchasing alcohol.

but if it just ends up with a bunch of drama queens at work, it will end up with a worse environment for everyone.

So like large portions of the nearly all-male programming community as it exists today?

So essentially anyone can do whatever they want, regardless of the consequences, knowing full well someone else gets to pick up the tab.

Just keep taking from everyone else so someone doesn't have to be an adult and take responsibility for their actions.

Got it.

Why is it my responsibility to use my money to get them to take care of a problem they created? Does personal responsibility not enter into the equation or should we keep coddling people who have shown they have no regard for anyone but themselves?

What does work for DUI cases is to provide access to rehab clinics

If they have money to drink they can afford to pay for their own rehab. The taxpayers shouldn't have to shell out anything.

followed by support organizations,

See above.

Amazon had revenues over the last twelve months of roughly $75 Billion

And yet they still lost money and have been for at least the last 2 years (possibly 3 once this years numbers come out).

If Amazon is having losses because of their upgrades (such as this warehouse stuff), then this might pay off down the line. However, if they're losing money because they're over extended, not so good.

As I said in a previous article on the same subject, just hire Bubba and his friends to take target practice on any drone anywhere near an airport.

Problem solved.

We have always been told electronic voting is quick, secure and completely error free so there must be something else going on.

Therefore, it is inconceivable that these votes were not counted.

I distinctly remember after the crash there were comparisons between the way ambulance service is done in this country and how it is done in (most of) France.

Here, the general rule is scoop and go whereas in France the idea is perform treatment on the spot then get the person to a hospital.

This difference was used to explain why she died (bled out from internal injuries). The idea was, and as others on here have already commented, had she been taken directly to a hospital she had a better chance of survival than being held at the scene for nearly two hours while they worked on her.

For reference.

While I would agree on some of your early points, have you seen the xenophobia in Japan? A white person who speaks the language fluently can't even rent a place.

Translation: I'm a worthless freeloader.

Just like all the people who "share" music or software without paying the artists/creator a dime for their work.

They weigh about 300 lbs each, . . . and know to head to the charging station when they're low on power.

Are we sure they didn't just put people inside something that looks like a Dalek?

It might sound surprising, but there are people who eat both turkey and ham on Thanksgiving. Or even meatballs, salmon and roast beef.

Shocking, I know, that people can eat more than one thing on any given day.

So it will be like launching passengers into space by private companies who completely ignore the 'basic research' governments have funded for the last fifty years.

Let me know how that works out.

We, the taxpayers, have already paid hundreds of billions to private companies to give us the astoundingly fast broadband speed of 10 Mbps (on average) in this country, two DECADES after these same companies assured us they would get us 45 Mbps by 2010.

There are already enough fees levied on users, for numerous such issues, that money can be moved from area to another if necessary.

Instead of adding more costs to consumers, how about having the companies do this work for free since they failed so miserably the last time we gave them taxpayer money? Considering the sorry state of affairs of broadband in this country, this is the absolute least these folks could do to justify their existence.
