The law as written is over 300,000 words. Over 11 million words of regulations have been written for the law. Over all. As any real percentage of what is going on with this law. He has no clue. Neither do any of the senators or representatives who voted for it. What they know is a small percentage of the law as it was when they voted on it. Changed by executive fiat and 11 million words of regulations pertaining to it.

Obama did not write it. He has no idea what is in it.

Congress had to pass it before they could figure out what it meant. This was written by lobbyists and bureaucrats each piece designed to make money for some individual company with no regard to what it means on the whole.

Every congress critter that votes on any piece of legislation that they do not understand should be thrown of of their position. After they are raped and killed. Any law that can not be understood by someone without a law degree in 20 minutes should be null and void. Complicated laws are always wrong.

And fuck every piece of shit that has said "Their ought to be a law" in the last 50 years.

Lets all minimize first world problems. Because the third world is what is important. They drive innovation and bring up the world as a whole on their shoulders. Fuck every short sighted piece of shit that thinks their good feelings will solve the issues of the world. They are easy to spot via their use of the term "First World Problems."

Sure. The problem is not enough police. Make sure there is one in sight of everything and all will be well. Crime happens where the public denies their own responsibility in keeping their community safe. We sit around and record violent crimes with our cameras hoping the police will show up soon. Police for the most part do not stop your house from being robbed or you from being murdered. They just try to solve the crime after it happens. The more responsible the public becomes for their own safety the better off we will be. Then the police can do their jobs effectively.

Conversely it would be better if the outside of beer glasses were more hydrophilic, because the longer every drop of water can be delayed from rolling off the surface and leaving more room for condensation to take place, the more time we would have to drink the beer at a suitably low temperature.

Beer cozy?

Naw, I'm preeeetty sure they were inside an aircraft doing parabolic flight patterns to counter gravity and create simulated weightlessness ;) The effect is the same, but the cause is very different (gravity is still acting on the plane and it's occupants, which you'd notice quickly if it made a sudden leveling or climb)

In orbit. Just as in parabolic flight gravity is still acting on everyone. It really is pretty much the same. You are falling at the exact rate gravity is pulling on you in parabolic arc flight or in orbit.

I clearly understand what is happening and have agreed to it. It is not difficult. I get adds that do not flash in my face advertising Viagra and really decent SPAM filtering. They get more money per ad than by hitting me with generic ads. We are all happy.

The only people bitching are those who, for some reason, have chosen not to understand. Remember we must protect the stupid from themselves at all costs.

Even if we can no longer have Lawn Darts and have to drink cold coffee.
