I've always wondered how that works. Is there a standard that is enforced or is like a charity that you have to trust?

Did Kavanaugh rape someone? I don't know. Are you 100% sure that he did? If not, lets assume that he didn't. Your statement is now wrong since he is worrying about that.

imgur is terrible for mobile users

What would you recommend Israel do when Hamas's charter literally says that they what to destroy Israel and the Jews? Hamas is Gaza's elected party and letting them import weapons is very bad for Israeli civilians.

This "obvious" solution would prevent all observant Jews from voting.

Here's a side by side comparison https://i.imgur.com/Nm7LahL.png

Not every individuals, but there are people that are trustworthy. Institutions rarely are because they are only as trustworthy as the people on top who change every once in a while

Why is python 2.7 faster than 3? I thought one of the big reasons to switch to 3 was because of performance

British Muslims would seem to be one of the least radical Muslims. After all, they don't kill gays like Muslims in Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen etc.

I never claimed that radical Muslims don't want to kill other Muslims. In fact the Sunni and Shiite conflict probably killed more Muslims than non-Muslims.

This survey makes it seem like more Muslims are radicalized than you seem to think based on what you wrote

So what happened to the daily stormer? How can something you own be taken away?

That $68 earning is either going to the employee or the employer. If law forces it to go to the employees then the employers could try to hire people for $68 less salary.

Hmm, looks like you locked that thread. That looks suspiciously like there was some information you didn't want to get out. After all, trolls spamming will just get downvoted.

Don't just look at first world countries. Even though the USSR had high taxes I doubt that their tax authority had good customer service.

Good customer support doesn't cost much more than bad customer support. They are people earning close to minimum wage who provide good customer support. The problem is that the IRS doesn't care to provide good customer support because they have no need to.

You asked this question when it was shabbat for most people but shabbat recently ended for me.

There are many things you can do on Shabbat. You can go on a walk, have a family meal, play board games (I only play board games on Shabbat), take a nap, read a book, etc. There are some gray areas, such as if you can carry something outside. Most people figured out a way to do it. No computing and telecommunication is universal with exception for life critical activities like with doctors and fire fighters.

God is not tricked. There is no restriction against cooking on Shabbat. There are restrictions against eg. making a fire and building. If you can somehow cook without doing any of those things, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Then colleges would have to be in the business of risk management. That would be like charging a hospital based on the recovery rate.

I guess 37 years is "just" for the author.

That is what I thought, but you replied saying that he made other edits ... What happened? Did he just change the title (not so bad) or did he do something worse?

Oh, well then that might change my opinion. I will try to find a better source when I have some time. I find it stage that the osm letter didn't mention exactly what happened.

I'm Jewish so I can give you my point of view, but there are many other people who may feel differently. For me this is simply a troll doing something that he thinks is funny and slightly inconveniences the mods at osm. Calling certain areas "Jewish" is not antisemitic in the way that is in any way dangerous. Here is a joke from Jews about how Teaneck is Jewish [1], nothing antisemitic about that. Here is a joke about Israel being Jewish [2] .

But lets just say that this was antisemitic. So what? Trolls do offensive things online all the time. OSM was properly alerted to it and quickly reverted it.

you should have written this in your opening post. In your op I thought that you were suggesting for some sort of whipping boy. Your clarification makes more sense. some things that should be pointed out is that your collateral can refuse, and that skipping bail is still a crime, so if you ditch, you will be hunted and be revoked bail rights for the rest of your life.

If judges risk themselves politically if they release people on bail then that means that the will of the people is to rarely release people on bail. I know it may sound weird to you and me but apparently there are a lot of people in California who feel that someone accused of a crime should suffer in prison until they are proven innocent. That is the disadvantage of democracy, people with different opinions get to vote. The solution is to educate voters why you think that they should vote differently or to move to another place.

What does this have to do with one party? How is a primary system in one party different than a general election amongst two parties?

"Good" land is scarce. If you were to propose price control only in unwanted land then that law wouldn't do anything because the price there is already low. I was referring to wanted land, ie. land where price control would do something

Price control for a scarce resource (eg. land) will lower the price for people who are better connected (friends of the seller, same religion as the seller, etc) but will make the cost impossible for others. The solution to the housing problem is to build more houses.

The idea is to make a pack cost 0.2*num_of_cigs_in_pack more dollars and then when someone returns butts, they can receive that money back. It will not be a subsidy and even if the butts were thrown in the trash afterwards, it would at least lower litter.

Killing all prisoners will make recidivism 0. I think you can understand that just as I can. But I assume that we both agree that that is not a good solution.
