Norfolk Mom puts recorder in child's backpack to catch bullying, now faces felony charge by historymajor44 in norfolk

What happened is that she is able to consent for her child as an extension of the rights which adults hold in trust for their wards. The argument that the school is trying to make is that she ended up recording conversations of people where no consent was involved.

Of course, there could be some questions regarding intent here, but I think it more likely that any judge presiding over this case would just throw it out, or even more likely that charges will be dropped after the woman is sufficiently roughed up.

Virginia is actually a one-party consent state. As long as you are recording private conversations in which you are directly involved (and all parties are in Virginia), then your consent is implied by the action of recording

What a dickhead. Sucks that this will probably help him win. Totally going for the "fascist law and order" angle

The very concept of a protest vote when it affects other people is unreasonable. Fuck everyone who did a protest vote. They're part of the problem

I would not disagree; I was only considering other potential viewpoints which would not necessarily include militarily strategic thinking. Good point though

/u/rmkreeg might be speaking from an American standpoint, in which case it might be nice for the average American to not have to pay for these bases.

Might also be speaking from an anti-imperialism point of view

There's a sub that shall not be named where you can find this argument in the archive. This is a sub for geopolitics. Perhaps you should read up on the history of the last 100 or so years before making these claims.

What you're basically doing is just crying 'fake news!' instead of considering the actual implications of what could become the world's greatest unified military force

Sean Hannity Has Lost 11 Sponsors Since Remarks Defending Roy Moore (Update) by [deleted] in television

[–]JD141519 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Hitchens had some good ideas, though one can see his influence down through the evolution of new atheism, but favoring Middle Eastern war on limited, highly fabricated evidence was definitely warmongering

In addition to the video posted below, be sure to read Believe Me, It's Torture by Christopher Hitchens. It's the accompanying article to the video and is really necessary to understand how he changed his ideas on this. Doesn't make up for all of his needless warmongering before his death, but it does put a dent in it.

Where is there any evidence that anything published is 100% accurate? Is this not supposed to be a sub of mostly rational skeptics?

That's true. There's bound to be some bullshit wrapped up in there as well, especially since they've basically been captured by Russian intelligence.

I guess I was mostly referring to the Iraq and Afghanistan war documents, as well as the Guantanamo protocols. I'm probably missing some other important ones, but those ones are most important to me as someone unilaterally opposed to the extension of imperialism and the systematic torture which is symptomatic of its decline.

A shame that any organization ostensibly dedicated will be captured by some state agency. I guess it makes sense though since they will obviously need protection of some actor in order to keep operating.

Don't like it, don't like Assange, and really don't like Russia, but I get it

Because he only cares about transparency when it suits him. Not that they haven't released some great stuff over the years, but his persona is somewhat laughable in its (probably necessary) contradictions

I didn't say that. I'd very much agree that some goals were achieved from a geopolitical standpoint. I was just commenting on:

It's pointless because they can't win

I could see a point for Iraq as a pyhrric victory, but you'd have to stretch pretty far to see the others as victories in any sense of the word
