Mod PARENT up. We need more like you. Good job on doing the ONE THING that I think does more to raise good (and smart) kids...spend time with them, show them that you love them, tell them they're worth something, tell them you love them. It worked on my brother and me (so much so that we kinda have superiority complexes).
That's a rather loose definition of "conservative." Trust me, I am one...she bends to the right more than many on both sides of the aisle admit, but "exhibiting semi-conservative behaviour" is a better fit.
True that. Metallica was made BECAUSE of pirated copies, because no one would sell their albums in the early days. Now the drummer won't shut up and play music like he's supposed to.
You've hit where I believe is the core matter - yeah, there may be issues with big corporations and the internet, but those issues may not go away with someone else in control AND there would be some SERIOUS freedom of speech and access issues with even some moderate European powers in charge of the 'net.
The problem with your scenario - and the good thing behind the electoral college (which needs to be kept, but revamped so the popular vote in each state proportionally splits the electoral college vote) is that it gives a little more say in the election to the smaller, more rural states. If the electoral college were abolished, ALL the power would be vested and wasted and concentrated in large, concentrated urban areas. The rest of us would get screwed over.
Your vote wasn't "worthless" when Texas came up with LBJ and voted dem primarily until the 80s. Keep it in a little bit of historical perspective. Heck, there's debate if anyone's vote counted back then, anyway.
Some of the new bosses in Russia are the EXACT same old bosses - old party members who made good when the Soviet Union fell. Democracy takes time, but Putin is trying to take a twenty-year step back. At first I liked the guy - he's tough, proud of his heritage, hates traitors from both sides of the aisle - but as time went on he kept getting worse and worse on liberties and on trying to maintain his stranglehold on power. It's going to take years - if ever - for the Russians to get out of the mentality that they need a near-dictator in charge.
Actually, there is a minor issue along these lines for blind people. They rely on car sounds to see if it's safe for a street crossing, and if one doesn't make enough noise...not that it would happen a whole ton, but it's something that needs to be taken into consideration.
I'd mod you down as a troll for the home-school fallacy, but you aren't worth it. Try doing some studying about home-schooled kids than going on what I suspect may be a couple of personal experiences which should be chalked up to anecdotal evidence.
Some of the box sets do this - the original version of the movie is on the opposite side of the dvd. And trust me, most are completely unwatchable without joel/mike and the bots. "Manos" is practically unwatchable WITH Joel and the bots.
Mod down for (-1, Poor reading comprehension). You REALLY don't get it, do you? He was talking about how a single instance can skew a whole result, and if you pull that instance out, you can find the real numbers and deal with a real problem that may be causing those numbers to skew. By the way, you picked a couple of bad examples and oversimplifications.
Because there are a ton of people out there who A) Misunderstand faith - on both sides; and B)The world is full of people who refuse to look at anything without physical proof (and don't understand that faith is contained in that outlook as well).
I stepped back from the creation/evolution debate a long time ago. I chose that I am going to remain unsurprised if either view is right in the end, because the God I worship can work any way He wants. People don't come to Christ because evolution was disproven to them or Creation was proven, they come because they figure that there is Something Else that matters a heck of a lot more.
By the way, I'm more or less a Biblical literalist. I'm not ignorant about the debate that goes on, I'm just concerned that there is very little reasonable reaction from either side, and it's two paradigms that can't - and may never - completely understand each other.
Did China actually launch a moon orbiter, or do they just SAY they launched one. I can easily see China doing this for internal propoganda more than anything else, as well as turn around and claim they were first there and the moon belongs to them because of the Great People's Lunar All-Glorious China Expedition or somesuch.
At which point the G-Go Nippon Blast Power Rocket Screaming Moon Blasto! shoots it out of the sky with its Super Mega Blast Power Gun-shoot and takes half the moon with it.

If that freighter is ever named Charlie Brown, run like heck.

In other words, she's a Washington,DC politician.
Nothing much if you catch it in NO CARRIER....
So, should people start wrapping their iPhones in tinfoil?
I have a Dell flat-panel monitor that's dead (screen doesn't work)...died 2-3 months after warranty expired. What can I do with it?
Would YOU change your voice if surgery were possible to do it?
You haven't heard me sing, have you?
Strangely enough, visions of electric sheep. Who knew?

Your ideas already did. Think New Deal through JFK. Don't limit your political ideology to whatever happened in the last 30 years.

Starting with removing that silly "3 a side" phrase. It ain't an English sport.

You left out Bush and Cheney for suits.
I know he was in an episode of ST:TNG playing himself in a poker game with other famous scientists on the holodeck.

CURSES FOILED AGAIN. Just plugged my UID in and I am ONE SHORT of a nice high prime.
A friggin' passport. It take upwards of 6 months to get one now.
Sometimes...my brother in law got his in about 30 days not too long ago. In some places they've caught up from the backlog or something.
