The law has been like this for some time. Executive Order 12333 allows for the examining of any information on US persons collected incidentally while in the pursuit of legitimate foreign intelligence. The law is that the data may be held for up to 90 days to determine if it may be legally used by the federal…

It might not be Satanic at all! You'd be getting rid of everything he did as well...

I don't believe time exists at all outside of our perception. It's just a way we measure comparative movement. Everything we measure time in has to do with the movement of something, the earth around the sun, the moon around the earth, the frequency of quartz crystal vibration, etc...

Like controlled burning. Perhaps those things need to happen to prevent a worse scenario. Maybe Archduke Ferdinand was really assassinated by a time traveler to spark the war...

USCYBERCOM, for one. Word has it they are somewhat knowledgeable in these matters, being integrated into the NSA and all...

Or some kind of solid evidence. One thing I'm curious about is the condition of Martin's body. I've read reports about Zimmerman saying everything from he was completely unharmed to having a concusion, black eye, and blood on the back of his head. If the latter is true, then there definitely was an altercation. …

You're right to a point. If Martin did attack Zimmerman, what happened before the attack does matter. If Zimmerman is found to have antagonized and instigated the fight, the stand your ground laws do not apply.

"That's what I've heard of it, at least"

That's right! Anyone who holds any leadership position in any company, government, organization, etc... should no longer be able to communicate or do anything in the public eye without being considered an official spokesman for their employer!

"First of all it devalues the meaning of what you are you saying"

No, but when someone refers to someone of a lower social class without identifying a race and those who listen hear "urban youths" and "thugs" and equate that with "black" it makes you wonder who is racist.

Your comment was very similar to the response the Vogon destroyer gave over the loudspeaker to Earth before they destroyed it for the highway.

He's just pissed because the FBI never actually released the captive members of the Asian Dawn...

He can ruin a suit also, though it's a shame if he has to...

Spoken like a true Vogon...

In December of last year I received from various family members and friends, for my birthday, a total of $375 in donations towards my happiness. I decided that this would be my "iPad 3 fund". I have always been told to buy stock in things you use/buy, so I bought one share of Apple at $379, being reasonably…

Is it heavy? Then it's expensive...

75mph top speed & no gear shifting? Nice scooter. Those tires deserve to be on something a little more capable...

I read an article somewhere saying that Apple is actually planning on moving their assembly operation close to home in SF. I think the plant is going to be built in Chinatown.

Pretentious and unwarranted anti-religious sentiment is annoying regardless of theistic leanings.
