TYT - Cop Busted watching child porn. leaves crumb trail
To be fair to the rest of videosift that normally happens when the police do something wrong and don't face any consequences. As for the cop, surprised he didn't help himself to some free blow while he was at it.
Got Fired Today... (Happy Talk Post)
>> ^KnivesOut:
Got fired because... they couldn't tell me why. When I asked why I was being fired, they told me "the fact that you don't know is why."
Is that legal over there? Were you on a trial period or something? At least over here, once you're past the two-month (or thereabouts) trial period where either party can terminate the employment contract without advance notice or a reason, they have to give a valid reason for firing you. Or did you just not feel like pressing the matter?
I think it depends on the state. In my state they don't have to give a reason, they can fire you at anytime for any reason, unless that reason is racial or gender based, in which case they make something up.
Yaaay! Videosift is finally unblocked for me. (Sift Talk Post)

TDS: From Here to Neutrality
I do see some of the logic in allowing telecoms to prioritize packets, however the telecoms and big businesses in general have shown themselves to be anything but scrupulous when there's money involved. Its a situation that's ripe for abuse, and the people who want control of the reins have shown themselves more than capable of beating the horse till it dies.

Reality TV Show to Convert Atheists
That said, I could see how a true atheist could switch to become a theist. Being an atheist doesn't necessarily mean reaching fulfillment, on the contrary I think its harder to feel fulfillment as an atheist. There is no standard for what it means to live a fulfilling life as an atheist as there is as a theist. So I could see how someone who feels unfulfilled might see religion as a possibility for filling that void.

Uninterruptible power supply Advice? (Geek Talk Post)
I'd check your local office supply store, they always seem to have them on sale.
Do you play WoW? (Videogames Talk Post)
See, this is one of the problems with WoW being so popular -- anytime you run into someone who plays it, odds are they're on a different server than you. I'm on Uldum.
Yeah, no way in hell I'm starting another yet another toon on yet another server. Not that I wouldn't want to play with ya'll, but I blow enough of my time on that game as it is O_O.

Bill Maher Gets Schooled On Vaccines By Bill Frist
"In 1976, there was a small risk of GBS following influenza (swine flu) vaccination (approximately 1 additional case per 100,000 people who received the swine flu vaccine). That number of GBS cases was slightly higher than what is normally seen in the population, whether or not people were vaccinated. Since then, numerous studies have been done to evaluate if other flu vaccines were associated with GBS. In most studies, no association was found, but two studies suggested that approximately 1 additional person out of 1 million vaccinated people may be at risk for GBS associated with the seasonal influenza vaccine. FDA and CDC will be closely monitoring reports of serious problems following the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccines, including GBS."
Airport Wants to See You Naked
I think the potential for abuse seems pretty high here, and I don't think comparing it to a gynecologist is fair. The guys that work the x-ray and inspection machines probably had to attend a 1 week seminar on how to operate the machinery and what to look for. I don't think that compares to the $100k or so of Getting an MD and the years of education/training/and ethical philosophy. Not to mention that the scanner and the scaned are basically anonymous to each other. If something happened you wouldn't know who did it, and they wouldn't know who you are so they'd be less caring about violating your privacy.
Kids, don't do drugs and then go to the store!
Bill Maher Gets Schooled On Vaccines By Bill Frist
How is it hypocritical to say we treat symptoms as they pop up rather than care too much about public health as a whole. I don't see how that can be interpreted as a hypocritical statement, unless he himself can be proven to only treat symptoms or something.
It's not hypocritical to say we treat symptoms. Its hypocritical to advocate we focus more on preventative medicine and then run the fear monger campaign against vaccine on what so far what seems to be baseless conjecture and a poor understanding of evolution.

Police Shoot Homeowner 6 times
I think the biggest problem with the police forces as they stand today is a complete lack of over site. All they have is there own internal division to investigate themselves, and a justice department that seems quick to side with the police. There's also the faction of police apologists and enablers, the ones who cheer on the cops when they break out the tear gas to break up some rowdy kids protesting something silly like their right to free speech. In this case the guy could have been a Republican poster boy. A guy using his 2nd amendment right to protect his home and family. He would have been a hero and paraded around on FOX news. Instead the cops shot him six times in the back, without so much a verbal warning, with his wife telling the cops he was in there and holding the intruder at gun point. Maybe if they see there actually is something wrong with the way the police operate, and not just a bunch of liberal pussies crying change can actually take place. Or maybe they'll just close their ears and eyes and pretend nothing happened.
