    To be fair, we're not hiding bin laden at west point.

    Why is a guy named Clarence approving the geopolitical views of Al Jazeera?

    I find that if a segment of their reporting is suspect, it all is. But as far as I've read their articles are generally good.

    It is witty BECAUSE he is correct. The BBC is nothing like fox, or cnn. But cnn is nothing like fox either. I find cnn to be less biased on a left/right basis, but they are a bit sensationalistic.

    For people wondering why the Capital of Texas would be relevant, it also has a college campus with 50,000 under grads. The cities title is "keep Austin weird." Fun place. :-)

    Who do you think pays these costs in the end? You! Every time you purchase something.. These semis are not shipping obscure things.

    maybe provide a salary that pays no more than the average worker who mans a shovel?

    "I am not a doctor"

    It shows.

    The line between a dose that will reliably put a random person out against their will and what can shut down breathing or perhaps cause vomit aspiration is famously thin when you don't know about drug interactions, medical conditions, if they drank a couple beers on the way home, etc. etc.

    If they'd drank the whole thing, maybe they'd have been alright, but then again maybe not.

    But without drug interactions a benzodiazepine would be very safe. Without a secondary depressant it's almost impossible to overdose on them.

  11. Re:wow... horrible parents on Teens Drug Parents To Get Web Access · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of Over the Counter drugs you could take that would knock you out fairly quickly with 1/4 the dose and have no noticeably different effect with 4 times the dose.

    Benadryl comes to mind as a drug thats safe to use to knock many things out without harm even with wildly different dosages. Pretty much any antihistamine for that matter.

    Except at higher doses benadryl becomes a anticholinergic DELERIANT with true hallucinations, none of that wall breathing stuff, more like giant spiders crawling around. It still isn't too toxic at 400mg or so.

    I bet hyenas have antibiotics too.

    Almost. It's in their enterological system. That is why i use hyena farts. Very hard to capture, but it doesn't hurt the animal. Well, maybe emotionally.

  15. Re:Blasphemy in whose term ? on Pakistan Lifts YouTube Ban For 3 Minutes, Finds More Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    An expression we DO ban here in the U.S. is child pornography; the form doesn't matter. It can be on youtube, anime, photos, videotron, drawings, etc. This is a better analogy to Pakistan's ban on blasphemy.

    I'm tempted to mod you Troll, but then you might not figure out exactly where your logic is (horrifyingly) wrong, so I'll explain instead: Child pornography is banned because it causes harm. THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST DRAWINGS OR ANIME DEPICTING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY in the U.S., because no one is harmed -- or potentially harmed -- in drawings or anime. Sex with children is bad, mkay?

    If you paste a guy getting a blowjob over a picture of a child, this is illegal, even in the United States.In fact, a lawyer recently did this to prove a point and was arrested and charged. Cartoons, however, are legal.

    This is a good point. I noticed while driving in the Bahamas, they use the horns to say 'what's up' to other drivers, and signal turns and what not. The lanes are narrow, and the driving was scary to me (from Texas), but it worked for them. Honking like they did in Texas would be taken as an offense to many people, maybe they're just more cheerful people, it sure seemed like that. I didn't see one unhappy Bahamian.

    This has been advice to the sage for awhile.

    Tao Te Ching:

    Not exalting the gifted prevents quarrelling.
    Not collecting treasure prevents stealing.
    Not seeing desirable things prevents confusion of the heart.

    The wise therefore rule by emptying hearts and stuffing bellies,
    by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
    If people lack knowledge and desire,
    then intellectuals will not try to interfere.
    If nothing is done, then all will be well

    I'm sure there's a logical fallacy somewhere in there. I don't know about that particular guy, bit your idea is not sound. If some one holds a completely liberal ideology but hates the "Jews," there is no reason any one should tolerate them

    Also, the type of tolerance liberals talk about is being accepting of people for something they cannot change (I.e. race, sexuality), there is no room for tolerance of people for their bigotry

    Ask your company's legal team about options, such as suing in the UK for defamation.

    Just a thought.

    How about sending a bunch of spam from a laptop at an open Wifi like Starbucks, where the spam is promoting UCEprotect.org. Send it to/through Gmail and other blacklist organizations. The goal being to get them placed on a spam blacklist...

    Either seems preferable to spending 300 Euros for an express de-list. Then, doing it again, etc.

    Make sure you monitor out-going email through your ISP's servers so that no spam is being sent by your customers.
