I'm just waiting for a discrimination suit over it. You know it's coming -- "He's getting a pay raise because he's gay" and all that, regardless of the intent behind it.
The US President isn't required to be Christian, but he is required to be elected, and there's enough of a Christian majority that a clearly non-Christian candidate simply won't get elected.
All the while fundamentalist Christian groups claim how oppressed they are when Christianity isn't given special privileges over other faiths.
I don't know, if we're referencing Leviticus here it says that you should not lie with mankind as you would with womankind. I'm pretty sure a gay guy doesn't, he just lies with mankind as someone else would with womankind and vice versa. I could clearly see the argument of it being anti-bisexual though, since there's no way to interpret it otherwise.
I'd seen one of those last elections. Of course, people from the party who had the most to fear from them being added to the ticket had "concerned citizens" wandering the nearby area, passing around the rumor that signing their petition to be put on the ballot meant you were implicitly giving up your right to vote in the next election.
No, he's saying you can get a record of *who* voted, not *how* they voted. Accordingly if you can find enough examples of invalid voters voting (without knowing how they voted) that it may have made an impact on the election, you can potentially have the election overturned and redone.
Speaking of birthdays and how someone stays in office, look at Byrd. That man will be in office until either he explicitly refuses office or dies. He's corrupt as can be, too, and his entire constituency knows it. He's also done so much for WV that it will pay dividends until he is in the ground.
As far as an off the cuff, is that such a bad metric? I mean, assuming you could somehow balance against the vocality of each side?
A viewer will have a view that his heavily skewed towards their beliefs (hence how socialist US media is when viewed by a hard right-winger, except for Fox News which is fascist to the leftists out there). If the liberals all complain about your conservative bias and the conservatives all complain about your liberal bias with regards to the same piece, shouldn't that imply you presented a centrist/moderate view?
...except both want power to control your life, the difference being that one of them wants to do so in a way that increases their profits as much as possible potentially at the expense of anyone who isn't them, the other wants to do so in accordance with some set of ideals or another.
Remember as well, that the result of "we should completely deregulate industry" as so many libertarians feel is necessary is not always as rosy as it sounds. I live near a river. Noone who thinks first swims in or eats fish from this river, because of the chemical plants upstream. It's absolutely crystal clear and clean compared to what it was 25 years ago. If we completely deregulate the chemical industry, it will be worse than it was then, because "just dump it in the river" is always cheaper than proper disposal of waste, because it moves the problem on someone else who doesn't generally have the wealth or data to properly fight you.
How about one where your capacity to be punished is not somehow connected to your wealth and connections, though I have no idea how you'd manage that. That's one of the issues I've always had with corporate personhood -- if something cannot be punished for it's transgressions proportionately to if were a person, it should not be granted the rights thereof.
They actually make and handle the same chemical as the Bhopal spill terrifying close to where I live (which admittedly when you understand how nasty the stuff is, makes for a pretty wide area). I personally know they guys who manufacture the pipelines through which it flows in that plant (they have local fabricators produce it). After the Bhopal spill they drastically reduced the amount of it stored on site -- instead since it's an intermediate product they use smaller storage tanks and shut down the stuff down the line from it when that unit goes down for maintenance.

Umm, Wave is a protocol, with Google Wave being the reference implementation. The protocol supports what they call "federation" -- If my Wave address is Schadrach@Schadwave.com (a third party Wave server) and yours is numbski@googlewave.com, we can create a wave with each other invited, and it will maintain it on both wave servers. However, if everyone that is part of a given Wave is one the same server, that Wave never leaves that server. It is also possible to set a Wave server to not federate or to restrict who it will federate with, allowing you to create an "in house only" Wave server or a "only federate with other branches" Wave server or whatever.
What you just said is analogous to "Your e-mail has a serious case of 'data lock'. Don't want it on the Hotmail servers? Tough luck."
There are already some projects developing 3rd party Wave servers that are moderately far along -- as in they work, can be connected to, and have the basic features in place.
Always thought that was a Chaos theory thing, where having not infinitely accurate data meant that your model was going to diverge increasingly from reality with time, to the point that the upper and lower error bounds of something like a temperature measurement caused the models to produce drastically different and essentially unrelated predictions within a fairly short period of time, and that was why "about a week" was as far as weather predictions go, with even the latter part of that week getting revised before it rolls around.
If there are too many mainstream views on the topic to give each a column, then you pick an arbitrary choice -- either random order on page load, alphabetical, chronological by earliest reference, or something else at random.
Fringe views get listed after the mainstream ones with a similar layout structure.
Punished him, where the correct punishment for his act in their eyes was death?
We punish people with a death sentence in the US, we're far from the only ones. That some are quicker to carry out that sentence and/or looser to apply it does not make it cease to be a punishment in the eyes of those conducting the deed.
Damn it, you left out "TV shows based on books" or I was going to use Dexter as a counterpoint. I have a hard time deciding whether I like the books or the series better, ignoring the third book, of course.
Although speaking of the Harry Potter series, ever notice the accuracy between book and movie goes down with each sequel, even if you ignore adjustments made for consistency with prior alterations/removals?
Really a shame too, given that the entire thing is a massive allegory for the alchemical perfection of the self (much like Faust, at least the way I interpret it -- which mind you requires essentially every character in the story to be an aspect of Faust himself) filtered through rosicrucian imagery. Once you see how things map, you can make some accurate predictions. I actually kind of freaked out some of my friends when I realized how things fit together between books 6 and 7, and started making predictions about the last book -- it's one thing to say something like "someone dies", but I was naming off things like "Snape and Lupin will both die, and their deaths will specifically show Harry the way forward. At some point after the second of those dies, Harry will pass beyond the edge of death and return from that state able to defeat Voldemort once and for all. About the same time as that occurs, a character associated with the color red -- either Rubeus Hagrid or a Weasely -- will die." I also had made a list of who would die, and I was off by three people -- one who lived that I predicted would die, and two others that I predicted would live that died and combined could fill in the symbolic role of the one who lived.
Not really, you'll have a small subsection of players who have $1-3k+ at retail price worth of pirate DS software (and the study assumes absolutely anything pirated is a lost sale), and others with none at all. Usually people who pirate games for a portable will fill up the largest microSD card they can lay their hands on with anything that looks remotely decent. 8GB is a *lot* of DS games.
OK, so if I play a message in Morse code across a loudspeaker, then I should expect absolute privacy in the conversation, as it should be appropriately illegal for anyone whom I haven't explicitly permitted to listen to pay attention to listen to it, right?

You apparently haven't read All You Zombies (http://ieng9.ucsd.edu/~mfedder/zombies.html). Clearly the GP is Jane. =)

Evangelical Christianity pushes the whole "you will be forgiven anything if you just ask" thing awfully hard, so I'd guess your last option.
I assume that part of his comment was directed at 1 Corinthians Chapter 6.

So, when I base your next pay raise on whether or not you voted for the guy I support...

The legal treatment of corporate entities as "people."
How about one where your capacity to be punished is not somehow connected to your wealth and connections, though I have no idea how you'd manage that. That's one of the issues I've always had with corporate personhood -- if something cannot be punished for it's transgressions proportionately to if were a person, it should not be granted the rights thereof.
