When the Senate declared we torture people and the president decided not to prosecute.

How many bad apples until people declare the whole batch spoiled?

The more I consider your argument the worse it becomes. How many times have we heard politicians complain a foreign country is blaming their problems on outside forces and rallying its people by saying they do what they must to protect them

This is not a response to my question. Also, stop attributing arguments to me and that I'm not making here. Judged by their actions, American policy makers have zero interest in improving the life's of ordinary civilians throughou

So your argument is yeah we torture and murder people without cause but this other guy over there, he tortures and kills even more people so it's okay. America is also recently responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualti

Disgusting that anyone would receive praise someone for assisting an entity which tortures and murders.

The fact that you are being down voted is a shame. The US government tortures people and cares not for the rule of law, this is the entity people seem perfectly happy to support? Where do people draw the line? Is it at genocide?

Thanks for defending the government which tortures and ignores the rule of law, great job dude.

Nothing will change until people stop complying with government demands.

Yes, people and companies need to openly defy unjust laws. NSLs should immediately be published upon receipt and litigated against.

The Arab spring was largely crushed with the help of American largesse. We ignored Bahrain, we never stopped funding the Egyptian military and said nothing when they reestablished control. People are unwilling to oppose government control,

50% gains every 18 months is beyond extraordinary, it's miraculous and only to believed because it occurs again and again. Batteries improve something closer to 8% a year which is merely amazing.

Funny thing about prostitution is if you tape it and put it online it suddenly becomes legal porn.

why anyone works for a government which openly tortures is confusing to me. Where do people draw the line, is it at genocide?

I know, let's pass a law to make this illegal! How many more examples do people need of government maleficence? Voting won't change the status quo, you've already been cut up and dealt with as pleases those in power.

How will delivery work if it is illegal to fly drones over bystanders? Another win for the corporate lobby, meanwhile start-ups can throw another idea in the trashcan or risk fines and possible jail time.

Funny how they way they abused their power was by getting a law passed.

If my company released a report stating that management tortured people but they weren't going to do anything about it then yeah I would quit, how is this controversial? If people don't draw the line at torture and murder where el

No matter if they were consulted, but they surely must know that their paymasters torture, if my boss had a torture chamber I wouldn't be showing up to work every day, but I suppose you might.

Yeah, they would put me in prison otherwise right, so by threat of force I must materially support a group which kills and tortures, wonderful.

"Rent is too high, I know let me pass a law to make high rent illegal". Rent control is causing a shortage of suitable living areas and property owners are ignoring maintenance costs. "Well then, let's pass another law!&

People also ignore that those with power and closest to the laws will also benefit the most from them. Rent control also leads to gross nepotism where the relatives and friends of the wealthy are given first dibs on rent controlled properti

Making it illegal to be poor or homeless doesn't magically make the problem go away, or making it illegal to use drugs doesn't stop drug use -- in fact Portugal demonstrates that making drugs legal reduces drug use. You know the s

You explanation is not understanding the fact that when a cop stops a white and a black with marijuana it is the black who goes jail. When a black and a white go before a judge with a charge of marijuana possession it is the black who is co

Sadly, trying to explain simple economic facts to people on HN is a good way to get down voted if it involves criticism of government regulation.

I also want to add one more thing, 'farmers' as a category is not your salt of the earth, homespun family anymore. Most crops being grown are actually produced by large multinational conglomerates, the fact that people picture the
