Why people still like cubicles.

The cubicle wall provides a place to hide when a button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho who is sick of working in a cubicle snaps, and then stalk the office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers.

"That's my job."

I wish more parents would step up to the job

Even though I agree that parents should teach this information, the fact that few people know this information shows that it's not being done. I am not worried about my kids knowing this information, but society would be better if other peoples kids knew this information. If I know first aid, I can save your life. If I am incapacitated, who can save mine? That is the reason I think it should also be taught in school, to increase the number of people who have this information.

It's easier for the government to take away people's rights, when most don't know what they are.

My point is solely that teaching kids this information would be more beneficial to society then having them memorize dates and teaching them what happened on April 11, 1954.

He's already in custody; he turned himself in in the UK.

I guess that's what happens when you get INTERPOL set upon you for the crime of having consensual sex with groupies without a condom. Groupies who remained supportive after their sexual trysts until they found out that he was sleeping around. Because that's the sort of stuff INTERPOL is there for, right? Certainly politics didn't play a role in THAT warrant...

consensual rape is a serious crime, even if the charges are dropped and then reinstated at a later time.

Wait, I guess "Less Serious Rape" isn't a serious crime.

" Private investigator Rick Raymond says he's staked out bowling alleys, pro football games, weddings and even funerals looking for people using sick days."

oh sure, when he's at a baseball game it's work, but if I am it's not. At least I had to pay for my own ticket.

Also, why would he stake out a baseball game, just stake out their house.

Let's face it, I don't know if the Terrorists have "won", but we have surely lost. Terrorists have changed our lives, robbed us of many of our guaranteed rights and freedoms (in the US this has occurred with the aid of our government), and we are paying for it every day (and not just with dollars).

it's mutually assured destruction.

>internet firms should 'share the responsibility' of protecting children."

Or you could just pay fucking attention to your own kids.

"Two-point-five million use America Online. That's like a city. Parents wouldn't let their kids go wandering in a city of 2.5 million people without them, or without knowing what they're going to be doing." - Pam McGraw, America Online spokesperson, in "Children Lured From Home by Internet Acquaintances" by David Foster, Associated Press, June 13 95

Not even mentioning that the internet is a global system, web sites come from anywhere. It's going to be impossible to get every country in the world to agree on something like this. And filtering doesn't work either. Oddly, if filtering worked on peoples individual computers they might stop pushing for filtering the entire internet (which obviously also wont work)
