@HannoverFist: I think police are (or at least SHOULD be) trained well enough to analyze a situation and decide who and what the threats are. I understand to an extent when military personnel overact when they are in a foreign country, and have a hard time quickly picking the correct targets, but honestly how often…

@Lord_Data ∞: Well you're also being constantly tracked, so it becomes much more difficult to commit other crimes, and I would imagine not too many people would want to commit crimes or deal/buy drugs from someone the police are tracking.

@casperiv: 1/3 of the prison/parole population commited victimless crimes... Can't really debate the morality of our laws with you, but I can say that there is no reason for me to pay to keep a crackhead from smoking crack for a month before he gets back out.

@ding-dang: That doesn't make very much sense, since there is very little evidence that "going somewhere" makes you any better. And when you put it that way I don't see why you would think it would. At least this is cheaper, even if it isn't much more effective.

@bearproph: Because he won't eventually get the anklet off/get out of prison. An addict is an addict, by incarcerating them you give them every excuse to reform, but you can't make them

@YummyCyanide: I think people too often confuse "being part of a failing business model" and "no more money left to make". You think that selling physical copies of music is going to be around for long? Of course they're going to stay with the business model that rakes in millions as long as it continues too, and this…

@youthinkyouknow: He didn't GET to embarrass her on television, he wanted it to be a secret. She is the one who went on the today show to "tell her story"

@treesloth: Well imagine if you once had bought a knock-off Rolex for half price, only to find out that it was every bit as good as the Rolex it was faking. I think I might be more willing to invest in a quality knock-off in the future, but all my experience with "counterfeit goods" has always been negative, at least…

@footnotegirl: This is not like if you called someone a mean name to their face, or even behind their back to people they know. It seems entirely possible that not only was she not aware, but almost noone that she knows may even have seen this. This is like if a newspaper misquotes you or takes something you say out…

America has exported yet more of its culture to Japan, in this case the "champagne shower"

@Slinkytech: The same reason its not all HD

I think its impossible to evaluate this truly given the conditioning we go through as we grow up, since it has been my experience from a very young age that cheaper versions of things (especially knock-offs) are almost always of lower quality, and the choice is made by whether the difference in quality is surpassed by…

Now the question becomes why must an irrelevant "wrong" must be righted. Its not like this is Nancy Grace and her life was being ruined by this. I mean I'm sure if you look into most funny pictures or demotivators or things of that nature there is a story that either explains or puts in context the depiction, and I…

@Wendismo: Why would you not just pour the beer into the cup at that point and drink through the straw?

@chauncy that billups: The only real plot hole that I saw during my actual viewing was that they made such a big deal about the timing of all of the kicks and how hard it was to time them all correctly, but then when things started going to shit they had no problem improvising it perfectly, an elevator rigged with…

@Snow leopard: We didn't feel bad for him because he was attached to something that wasn't real, but because it was borderline delusion (I understand it was a subconscious projection, but in the dreamscape these became somewhat synonymous), on the other hand wanting a movie to end a different way is much more…

@Crown_Jew: The range he gave was 150-300, I can't imagine a woman anywhere over 200 being "sexy" in the modern sense of the word.

@sid9221: Something about having more money than you need lets you justify spending it on things you don't need

@Knasher: Just because nothing malicious was done does not mean that it was benign. If they were a proof of concept for a security flaw then they may have had the ability to exploit a flaw and therefore may have represented a legitimate threat. Additionally after alerting Google to the fact that the apps had been…
