Re: Re: put an end to gun violence in New York once and for all
There is literally no way you can possibly prove that statement. You're assuming that because tougher gun laws were made during that period they therefore must have had some part in the result. That kind of assumption only leads to bad laws seated firmly in the certainty that you've proven something you haven't even begun to explore.
Re: Re: SCOTUS and appeals courts say it isn't so.
You scream morality but fail to explain how your position is somehow moral. Only allowing governments ownership of anything is immoral to me. Refusing to let anyone have something because they MIGHT do something bad with it is equally immoral to me. That's a stupid reason to restrict freedom. And where exactly is your "obvious harm" evidence from? Gun ownership literally represents a tiny blip in cause of deaths compared to so many other things. The fact that you don't like guns doesn't make them harmful to own.
Historical records suggest no such thing. Plenty of records by key founders make it very clear their intent was that each individual be free to own guns equal to that of the government specifically so they could act on their own against criminal force or in a worst case against government overreach. The construction of the sentence is very clear and follows that intent perfectly.
Exactly what was the point in bringing up the religious affiliation of the individuals here? It added nothing to your otherwise excellent points and only seemed like an attempt to discredit something you've personally chosen to dislike without any basis in fact. Especially considering a basic study of said religious organization would reveal that said actions clearly go against the basic teachings of that organization. Every group has individuals who pretend to follow the groups principles while ignoring them everywhere they go. Pretending that has anything to do with the group is petty and disappointing to see coming from an otherwise decent article. Please refrain from it in the future.
The mutual membership is meaningless. They are also likely both purveyors of similar places like Walmart. That doesn't have anything to do with what they chose to do.
This can only be a jab at a religion the author has chosen to dislike. It's a pointless and baseless one especially when you actually take a minute to understand the religion in question and realize that these actions go against the most basic teachings of said religion.
None of what you're claiming is true for Netflix, at least. My family has shared an account and paid for the extra streams to do it and never had even a hint of a whisper from Netflix that we were doing anything wrong. And yes this was across multiple time zones.
The answer to that is pretty easy: Google has the GPS data from all Android phones that were in that area during that time. GPS is FAR more accurate then cell tower guessing.
Failing to convict when the crime cannot be proven is not failing to serve justice, even when the crime actually did happen. It is in fact justice served exactly as it should be.
Yes it is sad that it is so hard to prove sexually related crimes, but that doesn't make it ok to ignore proper due process on the excuse that it's hard. Nor does it mean the system is doing anything wrong with regard to those crimes.
Re: Scientologists apparently need to move to Spain
Hint: all sorts of writings talk about Jesus being born of a virgin long before he was actually born. Trying to figure out who originally came up with the idea is an exercise in futility and pointlessness. When crying about "facts", let's keep to facts we can actually prove. It really doesn't help our position to pretend our opinions fit into that category.
While you can certainly do anything on a website that you can accomplish in an app, the ultimate reason so many companies go with an app instead is simply because an application on your phone is far superior to trying to do the same thing in a browser. The app gives far more control over things like presentation, data usage, and performance. With an app you also don't have to worry about supporting 12 different browsers and trying to force them to present your application the way you want them to. The web browser is a very powerful tool for simply presenting information over the internet, but at the end of the day an application running natively is far better for many other purposes.
Nintendo is not on nearly as solid a legal ground as is being pretended here.
Most of the sites I've looked at have clear language saying you are only allowed to download ROM's for games you actually own, which puts the usage of the site well within the realm of fair use.
But of course Nintendo doesn't have to care about fair use when issuing legal threats thanks to the courts refusing to punish anyone for doing that without having at least considered fair use first.
The number of false conclusions you're coming to in this is just astounding. People choosing to act violently and people choosing to own guns have absolutely nothing to do with each other and both of those conditions exist completely independent of the other all over the place as proof of that. I also find it hilarious that you ignore the last 200 years of history so you can pretend that something that hasn't changed at all is somehow the cause of this wave of violence.
The problem with following this line of thinking where you're trying to take it is that it makes it impossible for anyone to obey the law because the law becomes impossibly complex. You cannot ever define every possible thing that can ever be done or not done. If you honestly had to do that in order for it to be enforceable the entire legal system would fail. The problem with this ruling is that it expects exactly that kind of detail. The fact that should have been important to the judge is that it was NOT ILLEGAL to film. Whether or not it was protected by the first amendment never even should have needed to be brought up unless there was some state or federal law in place trying to make it illegal. The officer should have been charged for arresting someone who had not broken any law.
Having visited the city several times because a good portion of my wife's family grew up there, I can say it's a beautiful place that I love to go to as long as I'm with someone who knows the area pretty well. It is however reasonably off-putting to anyone who doesn't for good reason. We have no idea what areas we should avoid or what to be cautious of. While the above statement may not be factually correct, it is truly alarming to know just how many people are murdered there every year. It's also largely a matter of opinion whether that statement is correct or not. It is perfectly reasonable to count the highest number of murders regardless of number of people.
The guys comment was an obvious sarcastic joke about Nintendo's litigation habits. Stop taking it seriously.
Also, Poke literally means "to slice" in the context of Hawaii. It has nothing to do with the context of Japanese at all and so literally does not mean the same thing.
3d printed guns are a legitimately frightening idea
No, they're not. I understand that you find that frightening, but that doesn't make you "right" and everyone who disagrees with you "wrong".
I honestly find the idea of stripping guns away from all law abiding citizens an insanely frightening idea. Far worse than acknowledging that it is impossible to prevent the spread of knowledge to those who are seeking it and willing to break the law to get it and maybe instead encouraging those same law abiding citizens to seek said knowledge as well for the benefit of everyone.
Only if you have no clue how IP law works and didn't care to read the article. IP law is not there to protect your reputation, and using it to do that is abusing the law for quite literally illegal purposes. Trademark law is also not as simplistic as you present it to be.
The fact that you wouldn't want that to happen is irrelevant. There are many things I don't "want" to have happen. That doesn't make it ok to insist on control over things and spaces that are not mine. The BBC never entered any private space belonging to him. Sure what they did was silly and ridiculous, but that doesn't make it reasonable to make it illegal.
