1) it may or may not be willful. I know plenty of people who didn't realize what they were getting into with file sharing apps. As a matter of fact, most people I know who aren't fairly computer savvy thought the whole illegal internet music thing was about downloading, not uploading.
2) it's not what we think happened. It's if there are other PLAUSIBLE things that could have happened.
"Even after a big settlement and a high-profile case, the only changes made in the coffee serving industry were more secure packaging and more/clearer warnings."
Actually, McDonalds (at least at that particular location) dropped their serving temperature 30 degrees cooler. For that matter, if FUCKING STARBUCKS recommends serving between 180 and 190 degrees (the temperature of the lawsuit coffee), perhaps they should be told that it's not fit for consumption at that temperature, since you'll have a guaranteed burn of the mouth and throat.
Well, I'm sure that many will disagree with me in my anti-death sentence stance, but I would think the entire Hussein legal show, from the trial to the hanging, *should* have shown that rule of law and civility prevail over his methods of tyranny and fear. Hence the issue with hanging - it's closer to his methods (fear mongering) than current Western methods. Even ignoring the option of a life sentence.
Are we discussing intention or result? Because, while the result of hanging may be more humane, I don't think it's too far fetched to believe the intention of the hanging was less civil and humane.
Which is really the point. With how public that hanging was, you can be fairly sure the publicity from it was well planned out, to which it really sucks that's the message we wanted to give.
The issue isn't the person working the job, it's that person's country isn't upholding an environment that a person should be working in.
Don't get me wrong - the US needs to get a good kick in the ass in work ethic and education, but child labor sweat shops should not get our jobs, regardless of them doing our jobs cheaper. Or countries with such a crappy environment you have to wear a gas mask to work, etc.
That's still an issue, though. If they used real cops instead of cameras, you wouldn't have to do anything.
