Your parent poster said "except where a serious moral issue is involved", which this is.

Right, so now we need to legislate morality, right? Your own scriptures and leaders talk about how important personal moral agency is, and then you turn around and try to take that agency away (at least trying to project your perverted view of God's justice onto our own actual real life justice system).

James E. Faust is the 2nd Councelor in the First Presidency, which translates roughly into "3rd in command". He is Democratic.

That doesn't change the fact that Democrats comprise somewhere around 1% of your church's leadership. In typical Mormon apologist fashion, you are pulling out a solitary exception to a general trend, and then trying to use that as evidence against a point being made with that trend.

Unfortunately, enemies often are convinced of the truth of half truths, so they are not good sources of information.

For the record, when a Mormon apologist says "half truth", what he really means is, "truth that makes us look bad that hasn't been sugar-coated or whitewashed to try to mitigate the damage it causes to our outlandish claims." Your own Boyd K. Packer said it best, "Some things that are true are not very useful.".

Except Garfield isn't even warm in the first place. I've read it when it's been in the paper, but it's NEVER been funny. At least Dilbert tries to have jokes, even if many of them fall flat, but Garfield doesn't have anything. There are NO jokes, it's just some cat sitting there. Thank god it's been cancelled.

Re:the killer feature of HURD by Anonymous Coward · 2005-03-19 06:16 · Score: 0 · on Hurd/L4 Developer Marcus Brinkmann Interviewed

Yeah, it's on 2.6-mm right now, and there's a whole infrastructure to use it as a stepping stone to crash-dumping -- kernel 1 crashes, loads a small stripped kernel 2 into a previsouly reserved portion of memory, dumps memory, registers, etc of the dying kernel and then reboots. Pretty nifty.

Oh, and judging from the announcement of kexec, it's been around (or at least under active development) since Nov 2002 (they mention kernel 2.5.48 in that README file, and that kernel was released on Nov 18th 2002). So, once again, a novel idea from HURD. Or not.
