  Re: Re: Online ID

  It seems to me that you are the one interpreting the passage literally.
  
  Disclaimer: I'm an atheist, but use the bible as a philosophical and/or moral document (ie. NOT literally).
  
  For example:
  

  Revelation 13:16-17 it says "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name."

  
  
  The mark does not have to be physical, especially in the modern world, to be a mark.

• On the post: Toronto Asked To Ban Dangerous Dr. Seuss Book For Promoting Violence

  

  BeeAitch ( profile ), 03 May, 2014 @ 07:05pm

  This book is dangerous because:
  
  The author is writing under a pseudonym, his real name is Theodor Seuss Geisel.
  
  Therefore he must be a terrorist!

  Re: Faraday bag

  This.
  
  The phone can be placed in a Faraday bag ( US$10-US$34) on site, then transported to a Faraday cage/room within the cop's own evidence room.
  
  The phone could be left in the Faraday bag, within the Faraday cage/room until a warrant is obtained.

  Re: Re:

  Certain, specifically listed types of prejudice is no-go (race, religion, gender, etc.) but anything that's not in the list is perfectly legal.

  
  
  You are correct when speaking of the USA. I believe Ninja is not from the US (Brazil, maybe?).

  A friend of mine would drive an extra 2 miles around a certain local town (on gravel roads) to avoid being pulled over for DWB.
  
  He drove though the town four times, was pulled over four times.

  "This is my kids' school and the teachers are excellent."
  
  FTFY
  
  IMHO, a "good school" comes from good teachers, not good administrators.

  It's like the judge is just going through the motions.

  This quote in particular bothered me:
  
  

  ?Normally, if there is ? I certainly have a big problem with any kind of bullying at school. But normally, you know, I would expect a parent would let the school know about it, because it?s not tolerated. I know that, and that you guys [school administrators] would handle that, you know [...] Because it?s not tolerated, but you need to go through ? let the school handle it. And I know from experience with South Fayette School that, you know, it always is. And if there is a problem and it continues, then it is usually brought in front of me.?

  
  
  Doesn't sound like a judge to me. Sounds like a politician.
  
  Oh wait, NVM...

  Re: Re: Re:

  AC did not say that the Columbine shooters were bullied.
  
  I read his comment more as "If this is the way a kid gets treated for reporting bullying (and, as the first AC said, gets bullied more) that it could (not would, or did) lead them to snap (as in Columbine).

  Both agencies would waste taxpayer money racing to out'wit' (I use the term 'wit' very loosely) the other agency.

  BeeAitch ( profile ), 14 Apr, 2014 @ 04:35pm

  The show sucks compared to the books anyway.

  I watched the first season (with friends on their HBO, not pirated) after reading the books.
  
  I was not impressed. Did not need to see any more.

  Re:

  This sets a bad precedent. And it's an obvious abuse of power.
  
  
  On an unrelated note, why do you hate law enforcement so much,Tim?

  
  
  Cognitive dissonance much?
