While Dr Manhattan is cool I feel his powers were also the cause of his loss of humanity. I don't think I would want that side effect. I would prefer to be Iceman. Most people don't realize he is practically indestructible and can practically teleport through waterways. Also his power is not only restricted to making things cold. He basically controls thermodynamics and can heat things as well.

The compliance of which I speak, is during the arrest. To answer your question compliance would involve ceasing the attack and surrendering. In Brown's case he would be compliant by stopping and turning around, but the moment he started running at the cop, he became a threat once again. It seems there was evidence of a point blank hand wound received by Brown in the officer's car, along with gun powder residue and blood, all collaborating the officer's story. Would find it hard to explain what Brown's left hand was doing inside the police car on the opposite the window near where the officer's gun would be. Also, not sure why Brown never put his hands in the air to show he was surrendering. IF he were, in fact, surrendering. Makes more sense to me the Brown, who had a history of violent, aggressive behavior, would turn and charge the cop out of anger, than a scenario in which ran, almost got away, then turned to surrender without putting his hands in the air. Exactly, that is enough evidence to bring in reasonable doubt and that is all that is needed. Also what is the National Bar Association going to do? He can't be retried as double jeopardy would apply. |

Obama's Plan: Is it legal?
|

Is it legal? I am not sure because the legal system can be so twisted sometimes. Is it how the country was designed to run according to the founding fathers? I don't think so. Basically the executive branch is there to ensure the laws are properly executed. Instead he gives an order that basically says to enforce current law. That sounds like the exact opposite of what he is supposed to do.

Obama's Speech...
|

Having seen the speech, it seemed to me the entire point was to get Congress to act. Not the easiest task. Let me try to correct this. He is trying to force Congress to act before the newly elected officials take office at the beginning of next year. I believe this is more likely the correct answer. In about 2 months time he could have a bill on his desk that is only boarder security and anti illegals with no forgiveness/amnesty in the bill due to majority in the House and the Senate. Nothing about this is good for America. Remove birth right citizenship and go after the companies that hire them and not the illegals themselves. |

alright, let's see if you know your stuff. I recently joined a weight loss challenge at work. in three weeks, I've dropped 8 pounds and one clothing size just by changing my eating habits and by not drinking soda. what do you recommend to keep the weight loss momentum, but not gain weight through muscle mass yet? What makes you think you are going to gain weight through muscle mass? As a woman you don't have the testosterone to put on a lot of muscle. You also wont be putting on weight unless you are eating more than you burn. Lifting weights makes women smaller not bigger. My wife (who was my gf at the time) thought the same thing. She did listen to me and we lifted weights together. Before she ever started training I took her measurements. 4-5 months later she swore to me her legs were bigger. I took out the tape measure and they were actually smaller. She hadn't lost weight though. I am a guy under 30 and trust me when I tell you it is hard to put on muscle. I have a hard time doing it and I am trying. Lifting weights can make women smaller (tighter) but since muscle weighs more than fat it can also increase the number on the scale...I think that is what Ana was concerned about because she is participating in a challenge for most pounds lost....And I disagree with your statement about women not having enough testosterone to put on a lot of muscle...We do and we can build lean muscle mass the same way men do... I said a lot of muscle. I complete beginner who is doing everything right and in prime age group and male could do ~23 pounds in a year. A woman could do roughly half that. That is eating right optimum exercising. At optimum efficiency it would be 12 pounds in a year or 1 pound a month of muscle. That would require eating over maintenance which she isn't doing. The point being if she lifted weights she wouldn't gain weight if she was lifting weights. It is physics, matter and energy can't be created or destroyed but transformed. Lifting weights burns energy while doing the exercise but also in the repair process of muscles so you continue to burn after your exercise. I would personally suggest 2 days a week doing full body compound lifts. I would also suggest interval training and if you could even HIITs. If you want to drop water weight then drink more water (counter intuitive I know but the less you drink the more your body wants to hold on to the stuff) and cut way down on salt. Half a week eating nothing processed and you will see the scale dip from water weight. You would be surprised how much salt the average person consumes. |

the longer one lives and learns and the more they earn,,the more access they have to resources and motivation to help them stop,,,, education and earnings are more likely to present resources and motivation to assist in quitting bad habits,,,, You can keep repeating that all you want. The data still shows age not to be much of a factor. |

Well technically it is true that higher income people are less likely to smoke. However, the bigger correlation is that the more educated the individual the less likely they are to smoke. Take a look at this. http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2010/04/consumption the significant factor here is the question 'do you smoke?' ,,,,which indicates a 'current status' that doesnt really cover whether people have quit who once did smoke, or whether they just never smoked my personal observation is smoking is addicting across economic and age and educational lines,, however, the longer one lives and learns and the more they earn,,the more access they have to resources and motivation to help them stop,,,, Accept you are making a lot of assumptions. The age range of the study was 30-64 so most likely their education wasn't changing. Plus other studies show that young smokers are more likely to stop smoking than older smokers. http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/ Here is one from the CDC showing age, ethnicity, gender, poverty level. Age only varies a few percent. Education is the biggest discrepancy. |

Obama: Playing racial games
|

So when a white president nominates a white person for anything it is racist? That is apples to oranges. Not saying that the original topic this is about is racist, but if for example the majority out numbers the minority 100 to 1 then then thinking a majority picking a majority doesn't seem racist (though it could be). However if the minority is picking the minority in that same situation then it sure appears to be. (though it may not be). This is about perception. |

I think you missed the point, I was trying to make. There is not enough positions/opportunities for everyone to fill a CEO, Chief Finacial Officers ect. positions in the world. Consider this; if the labourer or janitors did not do there job who would perform this work? The CEO, Chief Finacial Officers ect. they then would not have time to do the work load that is expected of them if thing were not cleaned or built for them by someone else. Who would want to go to a stadium these days if fecal matter, or garbage laid all over the floor, where you were sitting. Think of the disease we would have in society still. I graduated with Honours in accounting. I lack a network to find employment and I was competing for a entry position with individuals' with 5-10 years of experience for $13.00/hour. This wage is probably fair for someone starting out gaining work experience in this field, but not fair for someone with that many years experience. Why did we have a resection, because the labourer or janitor did not do their job; NOT LIKELY! You are correct not every CEO makes millions, but someone of them abuse the position when it comes to the consumers to turn the profit your referrig to. People underneath upper management follow their lead to stay employed. There are so many factors involved that it is not just one or two CEO or other wealthy people in the global society that have more than they need. These people want more rather than opening up a position for someone else to establish finacial security; and helping these new people learn a greater skill set. These people who have more than enough to live and love their careers what is wrong with them being only a mentor to someone? Basicly saying why do these wealthy people not volunteer there time and help train new people. They don't need the money they want the money! I am far from being ingorant and see how people are treated unequally in society. I say this not from wanting to be a multi - million - air, but from reality of society. Is it fair to a person who is willing and has a great skill-set too end up working the streets, having to deal drugs, being homeless, or committing any other crime to survive. These peole who have enough money see this, but continue to make more for themselve rather than expanding 1% of wealthy individuals. Where are the mentor's in today's society to help people gain a better life. Only a few people are willing to take on this position in society and thank them for the individuals who are mentor's and see many people want to succeed and escape corruption, or poverty of life. Actually no I didn't. If everyone was a CEO then nothing else would exist. Thus that idea in general is just dumb. The reason CEOs get paid so much is because it is a crappy job and there are not that many people that can succeed at it and they make the people who pay them a lot of money. This is the same reason pro athletes make a killing. If anyone could play like Peyton Manning then they wouldn't need to pay him so much. Many CEOs barely have enough time to spend with their families much less "mentor" someone just because. I don't even know where you are getting at needing a network. My wife isn't even a citizen and in the country less than 2 years when she got her most recent job in Accounts Payable making much more than what you listed for accounting. She also had no experience in it. We did, however, move to a city where we knew there were opportunities. I myself have worked in several cities and got jobs without any kind of special network. I just searched online and applied. |

Why is it the more people want to become rich...The more people become poor. I am not certain of what you are trying to ask. Why is it the more some people want to become rich, it means that other people become poor? Because there is a finite amount of resources and most societies anymore are starting to lean towards socialism. Because a lot of people see the quickest way to becoming rich is in taking what other people have. Why is it the more a person wants to become rich, the more likely they, themselves, are going to become poor? Many reasons for this one. 1. Because they have no skills, real ambition, or abilities. They don't want to do anything in particular but be rich, so don't know how to do anything, or have anything to offer, in exchange for riches. 2. Because they have no patience. They want the lifestyle they envision before they can safely afford it or maintain it so instead of building wealth they simply chase it. 3. Because they don't know what being rich means. A lot of people that want to be rich want to either just feel secure in their life, only don't know how to let go of their insecurity and use their bank account as an inaccurate measure of how they should feel, or they simply want the social cache of being perceived as rich. Few individuals have a network system built to earn wealth. We start later in life when we realize life is short. It is exactly what you said, but unfortunately every individual walks a diiferent path in life, which they do not always have clear and educated path to make the correct choice. If every person sat at home, went to work and spent none of there income on commodities that was not needed, and only invested it, then the investment world would have a much smaller and more controlled environment to invest money in. The world is changing from what people in the now 80's are, and it is a global economy. Not every country has the same structure of law's. This allows for corruption to influence market shares. Every super power in history has eventually found the same fate. It either fails to see what is hidden or they lack enough strength to continue its' domination over other societies. (Eg. U.S. vs China; U.S vs Russia) you can add multiple known friendly countries together, but the end result is the same. How many companies and corporations are owned/controlled by foreign nationalist. Look at where investors are seeking to invest money. Most wealthy people do not care about people that go without, homeless. They give donations for tax right off and to gain good will for the company or themselves in a community. We all try our best, but it does not mean were going to gain in this crazy game of life. (Look at dating sites and how many people live alone. How much money these landlords and developers make. You then need to look at the jobs created by this.) The only way to get ahead is to find someone to spend your life with and acquire wealth together, but society is not set up like that anymore. Peoples job inprotance are not treated equally. A CEO job is consider more important than a labourers job. Skill difference yes! Can the CEO do the labourers job - not likely - but a few can. Our skills are treated unequal which does not create democracy. Our rights are limited and there is not enough CEO jobs for people who acquired a good education. Education is important, they say it show an employer you know how to learn, but fifty or sixty years ago an education was needed to fill those CEO jobs. IT PROPOGANDA! WHAT GOVERNMENTS AND THE WEALTH WANT TO KEEP ECONOMIES GOING. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH HIGH PAYING JOBS FOR EVERYONE. The list goes on with problems that effect countries. Many cannot be spoken of, or one could feel discrimination themselves. We in our life time or our great grand childrens life time will never see a balance in economic life style. Yes a CEO's job is more important. All the laborer must do is build his product. It is not the responsibility of the laborer to make sure the company succeeds and turns a profit. The laborer doesn't answer to the stock holders and investors that give the company money to help it grow. Also most CEOs don't make the millions and millions that people think of when the talk about CEOs. Yea the ones that manage multi billion dollar industries do but that isn't the majority of CEOs. Those got where they were because they were good at what they do. Why do some college football coaches make millions but college janitors make close to minimum wage? It is about what they bring to the table. |

The [majority of] citizens had spoken in 2012 when the re-elected Obama as POTUS; most of you disavowed THAT majority voice, then. Why is the [majority of] citizens who have spoken in 2014 suddenly carrying more validity and weight than the voice of the [majority of] citizens, then? Is the majority voice more *right*, THIS time?!?  I find midterm elections more telling than presidential. Different states and different candidates.
