Good point with the "Employing future employees of the industry they are regulating!" Personally, I want a law that says if you are involved in regulation of an industry, after you LEAVE that regulatory position, you are banned from working in that industry for 20 years or having any stock in companies in that industry.
The problem isn't with the Constitution of the United States, considering that it was written 200+ years ago.
The problem is that it didn't have an easy way to update it while banning changing some portions of it (such as the Bill of Rights) to take into account the exponential increase in technology.
With all due respect to el_segfaulto and Some Other AC, the fact is that when the Texas people as a whole allow stupid shit like this?
They are going to get bashed upon for allowing it. Simply put, when they see something like this happening, the PEOPLE should step in and put an end to it.
The U.K. is becoming more and more dystopian as time goes on.
Harassment against people solely for looking at pictures of IMAGINARY children in sexual situations, WHO HAVE NOT TRIED TO TOUCH ANY REAL CHILD.
Harassment against people for this.
Harassment against various other people.
This scapegoating and ignoring settled principles of justice is getting old.
The problem with that system is that it keeps people with very good cases who are terrified by someone else's lawyers into filing. A better system is the 'both have their own legal bills' system that America has today.
I'm more interested in "What does it matter that his trouser zip was open?"
Personally, I have had the zipper to my shorts (don't wear trousers) come down and open all the time when I am walking around from the natural movement of my body, unless they are those 'locking' zippers.
Re: Re: nobody should be kicked out of anywhere because of a photograph
Personally, I disagree with that point of view. It may be private property, but they should STILL have to adhere to human rights, of which one of your rights is to?
Photographically document your life and the places you go should you wish to.
Now, if they find someone taking pictures up women's skirts or something like that? That is punishable by OTHER laws and they should only intervene when something like that is happening.
Online classes should not be limited in any way, shape or form. Many people like myself are better able to perform when they don't have to worry about giving a 'good impression' to classmates in person because of various psychological disorders ranging from social anxiety disorder to out and out paranoia.
This is absolutely outrageous. Some of these laws are being taken way too damned far, one of the reasons why I say that these laws are extremely bad ideas and need repealed.
The Patriot Act in America, this law in the U.K.... ALL of them need repealed or rewritten and their scopes severely limited.
You have GOT to be kidding me here? Suing a 4 year old for negligence? This judge needs to have a foot put up his butt.
The fact is that the ONLY thing that should have been done is that the woman should have been compensated by the family for her medical co-pays and that is it.
I have to say that you apparently are living in a dream world where the IP maximalists don't have this as their wet dream and the road that they want to take us down in reality.
As much as I would love to call this hyperbole? It really isn't.
