Party pooper.

It's the same as when automakers started using computers in vehicles that required you to have service performed at the dealer, and wouldn't allow independent mechanics to have the software or the passwords to use it. Courts everywhere made that illegal so you can take your car to Bob's Auto...

Hacking passwords for a networked computer is serious business, hacking passwords for your own truck, not so serious.

If mandatory voting was his ultimate goal, he would have mentioned it before now and would have had it pushed through Congress just like Obamacare. People have been talking about mandatory voting in this country for more than two centuries, but it's never gained any momentum. It's part of the...

Actually I am. I'm an avid student and ascriber to chaos theory, and understand it rather well. For example, everything that California had done this far with regards to water redirection has had not only a direct effect on the Great Plains but indirectly on the entire planet. It's really not...

California will not run out of water. Southern California, which never had any water in the first place and has had to steal it from the Colorado River and the mountains of northern California, they might. But me taking a long shower in a Nashville hotel won't have any effect on that.

Well, there ya go, I do admit that I'm not familiar with the Ten Point Coalition. I'm still not quite sure how 'street cred' vis a vis black street culture is inherently racist, though. Be that as it may, you state the girl and her brother (I'm assuming you mean the little kid) were attacked for...

Some people would want philosophical and religious exemptions, though. They always do.

#1 diesel is basically kerosene. K-1 Kerosene, #1 diesel, and jet fuel (JP4) are very closely related to each other, so closely that they can be interchangeable in most situations. #1 and JP4 have higher allowable sulfur than K-1. #1 diesel and K-1 have lower energy content (about 5%) than #2...

Have ya seen this one? Video: Dallas police open fire on schizophrenic man with screwdriver - CNN.com In affidavits, statements and press conferences, the Dallas police repeated that they man had violently and in a wild rage charged police officers with a screwdriver, and that, of course...

You're right, that it spilled over from school is an assumption that I made, and I shouldn't have made that assumption. But it was made to show the attack was not random and they have a history of some kind, at the very least one that they are acquainted with each other from school. Since they...

I don't know that anyone said the phrasing of the thread was inaccurate. The subject of the thread is what it is. Whether it was insulting (at all) or not is mostly debated in the reported posts.

It doesn't appear that the incidents were racially motivated. The attackers and the the victims just happened to be of different races, but there's no evidence that racism played a part in either crime. The girl's incident apparently spilled over from an incident at school. Unless and until we...

His holier than thou, oh so superior insult to those that participate in the Soapbox. Instead of starting a thread about some random crazy lady and Rick Santorum, he made the subject be that the Soapbox, and those who participate in it (that presumably voice opinions in which Witness disagrees...

Correct. It's very aggressive behavior. It's also the exact opposite behavior that THC induces. The amount of THC found in Michael Brown's blood was 12 nanograms of active TCH per milliliter (ng/mL). That's about the amount found in the blood of a recreational pot smoker who had smoked pot...

Let's see... over the top where you can easily see and grab it, or under where you can't see it and have to dig for it? Tough call.

First, Holder mentioning Disparate Impact doesn't mean that they had a preconceived idea about what they wanted to find. That's political spin on your part. Him mentioning Disparate Impact actually meant they had a predetermined idea of which allegations they were going to investigate. There's a...

Here's the link to the article again, with the full title: Many Conservatives are Blowing it on the Ferguson DOJ Report | RedState, just to reinforce the point that you two really need to read it, because you will, absolutely, recognize yourself in the first paragraph.

The DOJ investigated as to whether Wilson violated any Civil Rights laws, but that was it. They weren't there to determine whether Wilson should have been charged with murder, since that's a state law, not a federal law. Even if their investigation had found that Wilson flat out murdered Brown...

Yeah, no, not really. The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is who did the investigation, so they weren't really looking for "anything." Even if they found "anything" they still only have the power to enforce federal statues, not state and local laws. They said right up front when they announced...
