Dude, the Jersey Devil is Real. I heard it from a Friend who's friend told him about a story a friend told him about an encounter with the Jersey Devil. If that's not proof I don't know what is. Actually I have a friend that swears he has seen the Jersey Devil, but that's beside the point

Problem with that is that metrics are easy to game. There is a classic example of a company that was providing bonuses to their quality assurance department based on number of bugs found. The engineers and the QA started talked and realized they could easily benefit by release buggy products so they started creating bugs and splitting the bonuses. This is an extreme example of gaming the system, but all metrics can be gamed and ultimately have the same outcome.

If you, in your obese state, chose to operate a motor vehicle and while doing so have a heart attack, veer across traffic and take out a healthy family of 5 you have caused harm to those around. If there is an emergency that requires citizens to assist with physical labor and you are too fat to get off your couch, you are putting those around you at risk. Of course if there is a food shortage your neighbors could just eat your lard ass, since your clear lack of brain cells would make the risk of transfer or prion disease pretty low.

We live in a collective society wether we like it or not, and choosing to make significantly unhealthy choices causes damage to the entire society.

Now I don't think the solution is to ban unhealthy behavior, but restrict those with unhealthy behavior from taking part in certain activities. If you are at a high risk of heart issues then you should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle. We already put those restrictions on people with seizure disorders be cause of the risk so why not extend it to include other risky health situations. Those that voluntarily put themselves at risk of health problems should not be able to utilize certain public services, particularly those that often require healthy citizens to operate.

It's actually a selective cut and paste from 25 point program of the German National Socialist Party. It's good that we bring light to the atrocities of WWII but to condemn an entire group of people without understanding the benefits they brought to their country is a little near sighted.

I know just look at some of the claims of the 25 point program:

Now there are some sick fucks right there. I mean seriously you put those rules in place and people stop profiting from the exploitation of their fellow man, and that my friend would certainly be a shame.

I think you mean "people who earned their money through the productive labor of others which was made possible through coercion by the threat of violence". The wealthy of any age differ very little, be they tribal chiefs, kings, cardinals, or CEOs. You can keep thinking that the exploitation of peasants is somehow different than the exploitation of modern working men and women, but you would be wrong. Honestly I doubt blame you, the world is a better place when you do don't think about the oppressors and the oppression.

Interestingly enough, if you do the math you will see that the poor out number the rich by a large enough amount that the poor are more powerful than the rich. But make sure the poor never actually catch on to that fact or else they might actually use their power.

The problem is that in this case the "debt fuly owed" is one's life. If you look at the history of the world you will find that prior to social welfare programs, the ultra wealthy were not taxed, they were killed. Time and time again through history, when a single person amassed too much power or wealth, the poor and needy would rise up to take what was built upon their broken backs, and in so doing taking the life of those that would oppress.

This is why I promote the abolishment of taxation. Not because of some objectivist pipe dream, but because when given no other choice, the people will rise up against their oppressors. Go ahead 1%ers, and probably even 5%, who I happen to be one of, stop giving to those in need, and see what happens next.

Not sure what paper you read but this is not at all accurate. Anorexia has nearly nothing at all to do with body image, and particularly little with trying to meet a perceived standard. People suffering with anorexia are not attempting to be as skinny, they are attempting to disappear. There is no "thin enough" for someone suffering with anorexia.

If you are really interested read up on it in books like Anatomy of Anorexia by Steven Levenkron or The Body Betrayed by Kathryn Zerbe. Attend an Open ABA meeting. Go inside a eating disorder treatment facility. Live with someone suffering from anorexia. These are how you understand what anorexia is, not by the mass media outlets.

Sorry but having a loved one that suffers from anorexia, I take this pretty damn personally.

Copyright is not something that you "do". Copyright is something that you "have." You own the full right to copy any works which you create. There is no process to be granted copy right, it is a natural artifact of the creation process. You don't even need to include copyright notice, though that does make your claim of copyright easier to prove.

As a Parent I have but one word to say: Bullshit.

Once you have sustained injuries that require hospitalization it's gone way to far.

You have every right to defend yourself before you sustain any injury at all. You also have a right to talk smack all you want, and if someone brings the threat of physical harm against you then you also have every right to defend yourself to the fullest of your abilities. So put simply, it doesn't matter how much a douche someone is you have no right to be a physical aggressor, and you should only do so if you are prepared to be mortally wounded for your actions.

That certainly would cut down on the number of idiots that can't keep their violent tendencies in check. Most people don't get into fights all the time. Most people don't get into physical altercations at any point in their adult lives.

You think maybe white people,or hispanics in this case, should riot if he is wrongly convicted? Won't happen since white people in the US don't riot, but would be an interesting turn of events.

Don't forget that MOS was able to under cut the price of every other vendor at the time because, MOS and only MOS had a process to correct flaws in their masks after producing them and before replication. This process allowed MOS to achieve a 70% production rate compared to the 30% that was industry standard. Thus allowing MOS to sell the 6502 was soat $25 each compared to the competitors of Zilog and Motorola that where selling at nearly $200 each for comparable products. This and this alone was the key factor in success of the MOS IC lines.

That's not to say that the 65xx line isn't better than it's competitors, as in many ways it is, but that was not the key to success.

You would probably do well to brush up on your reading comprehension, so that you can realize that a wife asking her husband to impregnate her is not done "with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend". But of course you can't get all up in arms about it if you don't misrepresent it in some way.
