Yeah except they're trying to change that. The conservative party in Canada is trying to do away with the pay per vote system currently in place and replace it with an unlimited donation system exactly like the US. When corporation pay billions to your elected who's interests do you think they'll look out for.
Maybe if the cost of your four year education hadn't been inflated to 200k you would be in a better spot now. The fight against high tuition's was one of the big issues the "occupy" movement had brought up.
Lots of people work up to 80 hours a week at multiple jobs and don't make anywhere near $50k a year without the prospect of moving on and into a higher salary job.
Your argument is ridiculous. In a thread about the pill you're arguing about rape and child molestation due to the inability of people to have self control. I would argue people who are capable of rape have mental illnesses. They need to be removed from society and treated clinically. It's not a matter of self control even harsh deterrents don't work. Comparing people who have sex on the pill to those who rape is frankly disgusting.
As to the original point about the pill vs abstinence. In a world without arranged marriages, where parents aren't selling/marrying their children off at the age of thirteen. It’s not really a surprise that when people reach sexual maturity they seek sexually fulfilling relationships and partners on their own "outside of marriage."
The pill and other contraceptives have changed the world. No longer is abstinence the only way to protect from disease and unplanned children. This has changed the social perceptions and cultural norms of sex. Unfortunately mostly due to dogma the education about sex hasn’t kept up and in many cases is actually denied to people. This has led to an increase in diseases and unplanned children in locations which have banned contraceptive education and pushed for an abstinence only approach.
Self control has changed. Part of self control is taking the pill and using contraceptives. It’s about taking the responsibility. If abstinence works for you, that’s great. For the rest of us sex is an important aspect to a healthy relationship.
Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) & Blackberry Messenger (BBM) are free E-Mail services RIM provides to customers. They run on RIMS servers. For corporations they also sell Blackbery Enterprise Servers (BES) which connect to Microsoft Exchange Servers and handles the corporations mail securely and internally. BES also provides vast options for administration of the handhelds by the IT/IS department of those companies. Blackberry recently came out with new BES which can integrate iphone and other manufactures phones. Something Apple for instance has almost completely ignored. Theirs no enterprise administration server for the iphone.
True not all companies use them. I love our new BES for administration. We run BB, iphone and soon android through ours.
IMO BES is Blackberries best product. They need to split their company and switch from a hardware company to a software company which supports 3rd party hardware. BBM & BES for iPhone, Android, Windows etc. Before they lose so much market share it doesn't matter what they do. They're too small to compete in the hardware game.
I don't think their devices look the same. They're two devices which preform the same function. Of course there's some overlap in the general design. They're rectangular and flat oooo. Get over it.
Oh and the USB power adapters are standard wall power jack to USB converters. I've seen them from several companies.
I like Blackberry but the playbook was a terrible idea. A cellular communications company which makes a tablet which doesn't have cellular capabilities. The second I heard it a year before they released it I said it would fail. The playbook should have been 3G/4G capable. Without that it's just not usable.
That stupid bitch who started that stolen car chase at Yale and 610 got what she deserved (I'll bet she was fat and black too). Same with that pervert that got shot by the county. Fuck that guy, see ya. That all sounds like good police work to me. Those folks got the criminal cure. It's guaranteed, they will never commit a crime again."
This is great until the people who are writing the fake reviews of their businesses start learning the tricks of writing them so they pass these tests.
