If you go back in to Time?

If I went back in time, I would prevent myself from entering and using the time machine, thereby creating a causal violation and disproving the possibility of time travel into the past.

Yeah seriously. It's not like they stone strangers at funerals.

Seeing how a child labor situation already exists in China, shouldn't it be the OP justifying his opposition rather than other people justifying their support.

This is actually one of the most peaceful times in human history, in terms of the rarity of major wars, casualties within war, violent crime and homicide rate.

Specifically, the homicide rate in the US is much lower today than it was in the 1980s, when Chan was beginning his career.

To put it another way, with each violent film Chan made, the world trended towards a better place.

So it would appear that Wikileaks, in dumping a massive amount of documents with little or no discretion, has allowed the Iranian government to target and execute someone. The facts are all there, and the evidence seems pretty damning, in spite of Wikileaks craptasticaly unprofessional and hollow response.

I wonder if all the naive hiveminders who gave Wikileaks money have any regrets. I mean, the founder of the organization has been accused of rape by two women, and now it appears his actions led to someone's death.

Edit - Downvotes, of course. Keep in mind what Assange himself said about guys like Fashi: "Well, they're informants, so if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it." source

Assange literally handed his name over to the Iranian government.

It may be irresponsible, but it's nothing like...

Can you expand logically on this.

It doesn't work like that. You actually want a longer shutter speed, 1/250th or greater. You use a low ISO and a dark room. The strobe/flash is what is 1/20000th of a second or whatever, it makes the shot.

Well, yes, Mexico is bigger.

Pop. of Mexico = 113.4M

Pop. of Iraq = 32M Pop. of Afghanistan = 34.3M Pop. of Somalia = 9.3M Pop. of Yemen = 24M

So Mexico could have a homicide rate that's 12% less than those countries, and their numbers would still be higher overall. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the homicide rate in the US is higher than Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen combined.

I doubt this is an accurate representation of Venus. It's more likely the camera's focusing system isn't calibrated and it's is showing us the unfocused light from Venus passing through the camera's aperture.

Depending on where it is in relation to Earth, Venus is only 9-65 arcseconds in angular diameter. For reference, 2.5 cm (1 inch) at 100 meters is about 1 arcminute (60 arcseconds).

Because the picture shows that Venus is fully lit by the sun, that implies that it's on the opposite side of the sun from Earth's position--meaning it would be closer to 9 arcseconds than 65.

A camera phone can't resolve shape at 9 arcseconds. It would be like a camera phone resolving a 4 mm shape at 100 meters, about the length of an medium sized ant.

I'm sure this will be downvoted, but Julian Assange essentially did the same thing with an indiscriminate Wikileaks document dump. As I recall, one of those documents was a classified list of potential targets.

Fun fact: Many adult drownings occur when someone has a heart attack, stroke or other debilitating attack while they are in deeper water. So drowning is a often times a secondary effect.

How is he a retard? Isn't discrimination written into Israel's highest laws?

False. Numerous former Soviet bloc countries gave up their weapons after the fall of the USSR. Libya gave up its weapons program in exchange for dropped sanctions. Cuba probably had access to nuclear weapons but has since denounced them.

So if the pay out is 540 million, does that mean it's worth it to spend a dollar on a 1/176M chance of winning?
