Thank you for your informed opinion on the matter, as well as your clear articulation of the issues that you have with it.

I do want to add that it is at least possible that someone who has a 40k rental house is not well off, and rents and manages property as a sole source of income. A few of my friends growing up in a beach town still scrap by building, owning, and maintaining a few shore homes. My landlord now is a elderly widow whose…

I don't think I agree that you can't earn yourself into privilege, but I am never sure when we are talking buzzwords and when you are using actual linguistic meanings.

Nationally you are in the top 6% of incomes. But you are right, in NY the average income is higher. Bumps you all the way down to the 93rd Percentile.

Mid Twenties is not, by any stretch of the imagination, "kids." That ends at 18, 21 tops.

Even though Congress created the MoH, provides statutory funding for its recipients and the President awards the MoH in the name of Congress, its name according to Federal Regulation is simply the Medal of Honor, since Congress has no role in selecting candidates or vetting their approval. The ultimate awarding…

Congressional Gold Medal, not the Congressional Medal of the Honor. The former is the highest civilian award in the US. The latter is a misnomer for the highest military award.

I am not sure how copyleft would have helped in this situation. Without the DMCA, any online publisher, blog, or website is liable for anything that appears in its pages, whether it be someone else's property or it slanderous. Different part of the same law, but this part is actually pretty good for the "information…

What would you replace it with? Typical publisher liability, or are you just opposed to the concept intellectual property?

Assuming you are an American, didn't someone cover that in high school civics class? See Amendments IV-VIII, XIV.

Having worn many a flak jacket, let me tell you that there is nothing so safe as a well-fitted vest, nothing is a useless as a moderately well-fitted vest that exposes to much of your armpit/sides, and nothing is as deadly as one that restricts your breathing or mobility. Honestly, if I ever had to carry a gun again…

I think he could probably use a class on personally-identifiable information. It is slightly troubling that a man with access to payroll records, criminal investigations, confidential sources, and other sensitive information doesn't know to uncheck the attachment box on all forwarded emails (or to double check the…

Actually, Emory has twice the amount of reported sexual offenses per 1,000 students a year. Maybe falling back on old high school stereotypes and "B" movies aren't the best ways to address rape culture.

I agree with everything you said, except the first sentence; I hate that sentence. Its giving me formal-logic based flashbacks to the Law School Admissions Test.

If many Xs are Ys and most Zs are Xs and all Zs are Qs but only some Qs are Zs, what is the least number of Y there can be if there are 15 Zs.

I think the theory was that Castro caused two spontaneous abortions through his beatings of pregnant women. Killing a fetus w/o the consent of the mother is considered murder in some states. Its probably a slippery slope.

You can only sentence someone to death for crimes against another person if there was a death. Kennedy v. Louisiana 554 U.S. 407 (2008). Torture, rape, and maiming, no matter how aggravated, cannot be capital crimes.

I hate to mansplain, but I think "turning around the map" and viewing it from the other side might be helpful *makes the doubly unwarranted assumption you are female and are looking for a male partner* If you are lacking in the physical department, then places where you are mainly judged in a catalog manner isn't…

I find that men who are vocal about a "No Fatties" policy are ones who are extremely insincere about their social standings and perceived manliness. The reaction to Kate Upton was almost a satire of itself.

However, I am not sure that the fact that TM had the excuse of self-defense under SYG necessarily GZ didn't have the right to it. Its possible in some cases for their to be a confrontation and neither side is guilty (A more clear cut example would be: I am walking down the street and whisper to A that B has a gun…

It would be in a federal district court in FL, comprised of a FL jury. Those are the rules.
