This is the thing that I hear from (mostly) the Right which pisses me off the most. The argument boils down to: Poor/immigrants/liberals/etc. aren't participating in society and freeloading because they "don't pay taxes". This is pure bullshit.
What they really mean is, they don't have INCOME tax liability. Even if I didn't have any (which I do), I am still paying social security, medicare/caid, sales tax, gas tax, car registration, and (by virtue of being employed) payroll and corporate taxes. Just because people don't make enough to be taxed on income, people act like they don't pay taxes at all.
Also, I am right in the middle of the Daily Show and Colbert's audience (26 and liberal) and I pay taxes; including income tax. Please find some other bullshit reason to completely ignore my opinion.
Raimi also produces the Legend of the Seeker tv series. Make of THAT what you will!
Two things:
1. 'Produces' (actually, co-produces) != has a strong hand in the art direction, storyline, acting, etc. thereof
2. I actually like this show. It's reminiscent of the old Hercules and Xena shows, though not quite as quirky. For a TV fantasy show it has a few things going for it: very accessible plot, attractive females, and respectable fight choreography to name a few.
I'm not saying $18M is cheap, but if you really want transparency about where tax dollars go it'll cost you. It costs even more if you want something that is simple and straightforward enough for "average" Americans to use and understand...
Seriously D&D Online must have sucked pretty bad for flying this low under the radar and making a free-to-play version sounds like a really really bad idea...
Yes, your ignorance is clearly the standard by which all MMOs should be judged.
I disagree, it must be a joke site. This has to be about the funniest goddamn thing I've ever read:
In addition to the evolutionary position lacking evidential support and being counterevidence, the great intellectuals in history such as Archimedes, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and Lord Kelvin did not propose an evolutionary process for a species to transform into a more complex version.
I've worked with this software before, and it has the ability to sync contact information from Outlook. I'm not sure about pricing, but I know the company is very supportive of non-profits in general.
The hypocrisy of the democrats who ripped on republicans and Bush and now ignore it when they do the EXACT same type of stuff just kills me.
I would say EXACT same type of stuff. I for one would much rather go into debt trying to help the economy and make things better at home than invading foreign nations for almost no reason.
Change we can believe in ROFL. I'll bet now not one real change will happen.
Obama IS changing the tone in Washington, just not all at once. The democrats in congress are just getting there pants tight over finally being able to DO something that they're stuffing this stimulus bill full of everything they've ever wanted. They shouldn't be doing this, but history has shown that the president doesn't have complete control over ANY party in congress, even their own (this is a good thing). Before you say there's no change, keep in mind that a fewthingsare already different from our last administration.
Nice copy paste. Then again, that's typical Creationist behavior.
It's not just a straight copy paste, every time this is posted it's slightly different. After a few thousand posts, it may turn into a cogent argument!
Weather is not even close to the same thing as climate. Remember when we learned that in High School freshman science class? I can say the average temperature will go up over the next number of years, but that doesn't mean I know if it will be cloudy on March 5th, 2010.
Of course, if every game cost $90-150 depending on what bundle you get
Smoke crack much? GH3 on PS2 was $69.99 with the guitar included, and either 50-60 bucks new with no guitar, depending on the system. You may be thinking of GHWT instead (with drums and microphone). So the average cost of the game is probably more like $70 bucks, I know a lot of people who already had guitars so only needed to buy the disk.

You can earn one vote for every question you submit. Then you can mod down once per vote. To untap your votes you have to mod something else up, intelligently as measured by some statistical eval of your overall mod history.
So if criminals try to get around crime, we should just make more stuff illegal? Shouldn't they still have to prove that the crime was committed instead of just making the potential-crime-coverup-method illegal?
This makes as much sense as making illegal the rotoscoping method itself, since it COULD be used to cover up child porn. What a load of shit.
Good point. You can't look at something which has already happened then apply probability to it. Probability only works that way for stuff that hasn't happened yet. The odds of a SPECIFIC sequence of 1000 numbers occurring in a row is very low, but only _before_ the numbers are selected. The odds that (any) 1000 numbers will be selected is almost 100% (down for building fires, etc. interrupting things).
People look back and try to say "the odds of life evolving is extremely low, so it must have been influenced/created/etc.". But, if something has already happened, there is no probability involved, it DID happen. I'm not sure if that's any specific fallacy, but it's just plain not probability.

Mr. Stewart went on to say that's "like being the thinnest kid at fat camp." I love that line.
Also, when I first saw it my brain was pretty sure it said "google-tits", which is probably an even more common problem...
Ah yes: a huge, eternal, post-mortal D&D session awaits the faithful jihadist.

HA! I'd mod up, but I'm fresh out of points.

Pff, don't you know by now that if you aren't in the USA you don't matter?
Brain cells? Yes.
In general, yes, but...
