Who is more pernicious... wily thugs or corrupt judiciary & venal law "enforcement"? Who causes more harm and vitiation of the social fabric of a society... concerted gangs of malignant wily thugs... or corrupt judges and cowardly lawyers and deceitful venal law enforcers shielding and...

I have heard this mantra, or something similar, repeated many times in recent days: "The US is founded on Christian Principles" Now, I have read the US Constitution many times. I have taken a Constitutional law course. I have even waded through some of "The common law". And I cannot for the...

I stumbled across this article. I don't know much about the subject, but some of the rhetoric is certainly familiar. A brief survey of the subject reveals that it is divided mainly along left and right political lines. Certainly those who dislike the U.N. are not happy with this treaty...

Very early in my debate career, one of the Lincoln-Douglas debate topics was thus: "When in conflict, the letter of the law ought to take priority over the spirit of the law". Unfortunately, I only got to do this topic at one tournament. A real shame, since it's one of the best LD topics I...

I scored hero points again. While distributing flyers for an upcomming garage sale with a friend I got to help a sweet old lady. I was putting the flyer on the door of a house when I heard, "Heeellp" from inside. I asked, "Are you all right? What's wrong?" and the voice replied, "I need...

This is mainly to the lawyers in the crowd, but it's something that I've been curious about for a while. It's a simple question, so... What happens to people convicted of a crime that later gets repealed. For example (and this is the inspiration for this) what happened to the journalists (and...

You may have heard about St. Louis Cardinals player Josh Hancock who was killed recently when he drove his SUV into the back of a towtruck that had stopped to help a motorist. Hancock was drunk, speeding, and on the cell phone at the time of the crash. Now his father is suing just about anyone...

Anyone unfortunate enough to have seen "The Secret" will know the big secret is the law of attraction - think about what you want and you get it. The big flaw in this is that the Law of Attraction is not a "Law" like Newton's laws. However, one of the secret's "stars", Joe Vitale, bloggs today...

I present here, for any interested readers, a recap of federal court decisions from around the United States over the past several months dealing with the Establishment Clause and/or the Free Exercise Clause of the Constitution. This is not an exhaustive survey by any means; it's just a quick...

OK, so it was more of a hypotheses, I believe, than a law, or even a theory (Seems I read a quote from Moore that it was more a guess, but can't swear to that, and it was only expected to hold true for 10 years or so) - The term Moore's Law was coined by Carver Mead around 1970.[4] Moore's...

...and they'll hang themselves. Nice. A school is threatened into distributing religious advertising handouts, and the Pagans use the same system to distribute their own, and the people for "religious freedom" show their true colors. :gear_wink2:

Devout muslims such as the below named Khurshid Ahmed oppose this action. Hopefully they will not prevail. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6178214.stm

Based on observation for the past 5.5 years, I hereby coin, invoke and establish Dorian's Law, a corollary of Godwin's Law. Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. Coined by Mike Godwin in 1990. Dorian's Law...

I have never heard this question ever brought up. Have you? How can everything in the universe, including the universe itself, be running down...and yet everything that reproduces life on earth and creates it's offspring, somehow improves and gets better? In fact, we even think we may even...

I was granted U.S. patent 3,890,161, DIODE ARRAY in 1975 on a chip which absorbs uniform ambient surrounding heat as it transforms thermal energy into a matching yield of electrical power. The chip, in mature form, will consist of billions of nanometer scale diodes in consistent alignment that...

If God created the Earth...then why did he make it so small that only a matter of a few short years in the scheme of eonic time that we have to contend with where to put our garbage, pollution-causing global warming,"His"-people, Israel, fighting over land, etc.? If GOD made the universe...

I've seen it referenced several times as incompatible with evolutionary theory, anyone have a good reference to refute this? I'm fairly sure it's false.

CT is Conspiracy Theorists, by the way I admit I'm way out of school and the part of my brain that housed this information (whatever of it there ever was) has long been archived and replaced by newer stuff :) Check out this thread and help me understand what slick is trying to say...

The problem of this new post-9-11 (hysteria)law is not that it will prevent impoverished non-citizens from getting care, but will corral large numbers of Americans, especially those born in the U.S. w/o birth certificates or access to birth certificates and kick them out of the system as well...

Last year, Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, in an attempt to undermine the Goodridge same-sex marriage ruling, dug up an obscure, never-enforced 1913 law which was designed to prevent inter-racial couples from states with anti-miscegenation laws from marrying in Massachusetts, if their main...

For those who enjoyed ACLU President Nadine Strossen's talk at TAM4 (Or those who weren't there) a "heads up". Ms. Strossen will be giving a keynote presentation at the Vermont Law School this Friday 16 March. It's part of a two day conference on women's rights. I believe her topic is titled...

Many Catholic leaders are openly stating they will not require citizenship checks before giving out services. I saw a fast blurb on this on the news and was kind of confused. Is ID going to be required to give out services that the church gets tax funds for? I can't imagine the government can...

Latest news: "'40% of UK Muslims' want Sharia Law Four in 10 Muslims in Britain want hard-line Sharia Law introduced in parts of Britain, an ICM poll revealed. One in five also expressed sympathy with the "feelings and motives" of the July 7 suicide bombers who killed 52 innocent people in...

Do you agree with this? I do.

I'm not sure if this was posted here awhile back or not... but There was or is an Anti-Hate Bill being planned which among other things, would make criticizing Israel a crime. Oh, it would make criticizing certain ethnicity groups a crime too, but why would I do that? But denying a person the...
