I have a habit of reducing things to their simplest forms for execution. People like to dismiss my solutions as too simple. But I'll give it another go. Few of our national representatives have ever served in uniform. Many of them have never done much more than make laws for other people and be politicians. There was a time when a King, Emperor, etc. went to war at the front of his troops. His sons went off to war. He was heavily invested in the reality of war. We've lost that. I would recommend that any war-like action (police actions, UN Security Force, etc.) find the President at the front and the first born of every Senator and Congress Member serving at the front. Only when our (so called) 'Leadership' has something more on the line than re-election can we expect them to make sober decisions on when to send Americans into harm's way. The Vice President can take up the slack while the President is away. Every member of government would have a vested interest in finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. I haven't done any research. I'm curious how many of our top representatives have children or grandchildren in the services... And as far as the discussion on "The Holy Bible"...the responses that indicate it is one book, written by one person, in one language, to one audience, never changed, and for one purpose...tells me people are rendering opinions with precious few facts. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Well, I was prepared to make allowances for those negroes, Hispanics, and Filipinos...but entertainers? Hell no! Jazz and swing music? Next, we'll have dogs and cats living together. Total chaos, I tell you! I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Not sure why they can't already. If they have a prescription, how is it different from any other medication? Plus, I'm pretty sure marijuana isn't going to lead to fits of aggressive behavior and violence. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

You know I'm an attorney, right? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

This math sequence can predict your favorite film. Mine was A Bridge Too Far. I'm not sure how it works, but it does. Pick a number between 1 and 9. Multiply it by 3. Add 3 to that number. Multiply by 3 again. Add the two digits together. Your film is: 2. The Shining 3. Oliver Twist 4. Forest Gump 5. Pulp Fiction 6. A Bridge Too Far 7. Star Wars 8. Grease 9.

I really suspect it's a matter of location and time of day. Some places, you're likely to get tipped. Some places, you'll get obscene offers. Some places, you'll get beat up. Context is so important.

does she think they don't know? does she think they care? even if there was no possibility of trauma or death, it's still wrong "education" is not the solution to this. these are criminal assaults based on a direct choice of action. Not a 'learning opportunity' seriously, does she expect a reaction "Oh, cold cocking someone as hard as I can could actually hurt them? golly gee whiz, I'll stop right now and go help out in a soup kitchen" I would suggest viral video of people attempting to 'play' and getting their asses handed to them might have an effect.

During an investigation, you take everyone's prints...including crime scene technicians, responding officers, family, friends, dead guy on the floor, etc. You need to figure out which prints to expect before you can tell which don't belong.

In the UK speedos can run up to 10% faster than actual speed, but no slower. If most countries have similar rules then it stands to reason that they'll always err on the high side.

Pass. It's happened to me too many times. No sense in trying anymore. I would get to Mars. I would leave the group and trek far away from the lander. I would stand on top of a rise as the sun came over the horizon. I would bask in the idea that no human had ever before seen this geography, had this sun on their face, stood on this ground. Then, I would look down and see a pile of beer cans. Damn. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Pee on the rug; get your butt whooped. Makes sense to me. I might object to the severity of the beating or the use of a weapon. But the rug owner didn't get to limit the amount of pee or the smell thereof, so it's a close call. You roll the dice (or pee on the rug) and you take your chances.

You think I have an incredible body? How YOU doin? Actually, the question was just for discussion purposes. If people are not taking care of their health and ignoring medical advice...then what? If people engage in risky behavior that is more likely to result in costly injuries...then what? We have 'sin taxes' on alcohol and tobacco. Why not high risk activities? Why not on refusing medical advice? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Nothing definitive. I did find it odd that a manager came out in support of the server, then declined to provide the documents that would have clarified everything. The family came out with the credit card bill. Wish they would have posted a view of that. It would have been more compelling. Personally, I would have gone on with life and ignored it.

On the other side of the coin, I'm an American who was raised Jewish that feels this whole situation could have been avoided if it wasn't decided that displacing one group of people to give a different group of people a place to stay based on some bullshit book was a reasonable idea. There were plenty of places to establish a "jewish state" (in itself a foolish idea), and they picked a stupid one that anyone with an ounce of grey matter would have known would cause a shitstorm. You say some things that are thought provoking and useful. This wasn't your finest post. I've studied some of the history of the creation of Israel. The majority of the people who were 'displaced' were nomads who didn't have permission to be there in the first place. Most of the land was purchased from owners who didn't live there. The nomads were even allowed to continue using the land for years. If you think the idea of a Jewish state is 'foolish', I submit that you don't grasp the whole idea of the preceding attempt at genocide and the world apathy that allowed it. Granted, that particular geography was not the wisest. However, the people and the land had a history. It's hard to say what would have happened if they went somewhere else. Given the worldwide ambivalence to their attempted erradication, they probably figured they were surrounded by enemy no matter where they went. You seem awfully emotional about this subject. You must be one of those self-hating Grues. It happens. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Related thought... Suppose I have high cholesterol. The Dr. wants me to take a prescription medication to bring it down. I want to use diet and exercise. Continuing to have high cholesterol presents health risks that might increase my healthcare costs in the future. If I refuse to follow the Dr.'s advice, should I be taxed for that?

Not really. Countries with socialized medicine do consider taxing people extra for certain behavior. The French considered an obeisity tax at one point. It's a matter of time on those kinds of measures. Some US cities are currently regulating size of soft drinks, red meat, and other products out of 'health concerns'. When those ideaological positions meet financial realities of universal healthcare, it isn't ridiculous at all. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

We're in violent agreement. I wasn't being totally serious. People would stop voting for legislators that try to legislate healthy living. Logically, that's what should happen. Realistically, it will be skewed by financial interests as you suggest. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Been there. Huddled behind the tiny windscreen. Slipstream pulling my helmet off my head. Strap strangling me. GPS says 170. Suddenly, part of my brain calculates that if I rear-end a car going 70, it's like hitting a stopped car at 100. No seat belt. No airbag. No bumper. Just a short flight and a long skid. When I stop, that same car hits me doing 70. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
