    Moderation must be limited to those with no fucking brain cells. How can something with no moderation on it be considered overrated? DUH, the mod's a fucking moron. Geez, people, get a goddamned clue!

    > So if you drink coffee constantly, you might just lose some weight.

    And if you drink tea (esp. green tea), it's more likely to help, as opposed to caffiene/coffee, which is more toxic. Plus tea comes in flavors other than sugar, charred, and charred-flavoured.

    > a number in excess of 35 trillion that is "so big that there's not a word for the number,"

    If it's so far in excess of 35 trillion, why was 35 trillion even mentioned? If it's between 35-36 trillion, then those are the words to describe it. If it really IS far in excess of 35 trillion, why bring it up at all? Just say "more than we will use in the considerable future," or some other equally vague phrase.

    That would keep out all the Jews, however, which would cut into sales tremendously. (Sounds like a racist/bigoted statement, although it's not really intended to be so.) That would be a good thing for the rest of us. (That, however, IS a bigoted statement - one which I don't truly believe.)

    > I don't know what they're doing wrong, but I know I picked up Japanese better in 3 years than most japanese get english in 6

    While I can't personally speak for the difficulty in learning Japanese, I've heard that English is very difficult to learn properly. Especially after being brought up on something so dissimilar as Japanese (or Chinese, for that matter). I've taken German & Spanish (total 8 years in the two) and only truly understood English after finishing those classes, despite the fact I knew little more than english for 14 years of my life.

    (and just so I don't look like a complete fool, I know my sig doesn't translate properly -- it's intentional)

    > It would be like Arizona passing pro-Spanish/anti-English laws.

    That's almost correct, and would be if Spanish was considered an official American language as well. I don't think it's a good thing, but it is not something that can be equated easily with anything American.

    No, no, no. It is a correct term. The information was supposed to be abused, but they ended up abusing it in the wrong way, hence, "misabused." :)
