IMO the best reason for getting into first class early is so you can get a drink in before the plane takes off. You get free booze, may as well take advantage of it!
...but D&D sessions also promotes terrorism! I don't know how many times I've sat in a dark basement with shifty-eyed individuals plotting the overthrow of the Evil Leader. Attacking his armies in small groups; attacking from the shadows; catching them unawares in the wilderness and then blending in with the locals thereafter. And no one was watching then, either! (especially females...)
But NOW it seems that the very ambiguous word "terrorist" has been broadened to include "anyone who shoots at American troops" or even better "anyone who is shot at by American troops".
Not only would I mod you up had I any points, but I found the last part of this comment hilarious! (I am an American)
It's just that simple. It's amazing how people can cry for capital punishment with the argument "What if it was your child that was murdered?" and not understand the mindset of a terrorist, who is basically in the same camp.
The difference in modern warfare is that nation-states don't go out of their way to target civilians, terrorists do. Of course, nation-states often kill civilians by accident but does intent matter? It probably should, but if you're kid is killed I guess it doesn't.
You just emphasized the difference that gpp was trying to portray: the "weak" (terrorists) cannot go head to head with a sophisticated "strong" army. So just because we write off that armies will sometimes kill civilians, does that make it different if you are on the receiving end of that as opposed to a terrorist action? I suspect you would feel much the same way.
Please, I don't care what they say. The fact of the matter is that they're willing and able to attack anybody on Earth for drawing a cartoon and putting it in a newspaper. Why are you defending these people?
Be careful not to make the mistake of writing "the terrorists" off as simply bat-shit insane. Just because you refuse to listen to and consider their motivations does not mean that they do not take them seriously. If you are truly concerned about <bush>terism</bush>, you would have to be an idiot not to try to understand the causes thereof. Otherwise you just end up with an endless distrac^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwar.
Would that not mean that in the exact center there is no gravity to cause pressure on the material in the center either?
I apologize if you were trying to be sarcastic or something, but your "thought experiment" is stupid:
1. Just because the rock can no longer be observed to move does not mean that there is no force being exerted on it; it just balances out from all directions.
2. You are trying to compare the gravitational force of one object on another to an objects gravitational force exerted on itself. Even if the earth were exerting no force on the rock when it is at the center of the planet, that doesn't imply that there is no gravitational force exerted by the rock on itself.
Am I missing something here, is this not a fundamental flaw to the plan the fact that any kind of monitoring equipment on a cut would be immediately noticed?
Maybe I can shed some light on the plan:
1. Pick two spots on the cable 100 miles apart.
2. Cut place 1.
3. Cut place two and install monitoring equipment.
4. Cut in place 1 gets repaired and service is restored.
5. ?????
6. Defeat Terrorism!

Incorrect. It's just that all the evidence is circumstantial. People have written that they have spoke to God (i.e. Moses) and other people believe that he is a reliable source. People wrote about how Jesus performed miracles, etc. Therefore it is not entirely like saying "The Flying Spaghetti Monster Appears" just because you can say it.
Although, sadly, saying that people should believe it because it's in a book only give Christianity as much credence as Scientology, just older...
Like it or not, avoiding this kind of political firestorm is part of the job of running any organization, schools are no different; they're supposed to be teaching the kids, not focusing on managing PR disasters. So no, the school administration can't ignore this.
So... what? Are you honestly trying to saw that public schools should capitulate to blackmail style tactics just so they can avoid PR problems? This action is completely out of their area of authority! You also completely ignore their (school district's) other option: Notify the parents of the kids in question and let them sort it out.
"not ignoring" != "deciding to be the kids' parents"
In effect, doctor's will gain superpowers - technologies will allow them to gain x-ray like vision to view medical images; super sensitive hearing to find tiniest audio clue in your heart beat;
So... doctors will have the heretofore unheard of power of the X-Ray and stethoscope. Truly a new day is dawning!
While I was deployed to the Middle East one of the boys (I refuse to say he is a man after I found out what he was doing) was telling his mother by way of email and posting in his blog when and where our ship would be.
I don't understand what this has to do with the topic... Was this soldier emailing his mother anonymously? You're just talking about someone giving out information that he shouldn't.
Of course freedom of speech can be dangerous, which is why many agree that libel and slander laws are acceptable. But, I would contend that restriction of freedom of speech is far more dangerous. (*cough*China*cough*)

Keep it down! I'm missing the opening movie on DNF...
And the US has Bush and Dick?
You're goddamn right we.... oh.

I could blow up the whole goddamn world with this thing...

Firmly. So I suppose it should have been: "Ah hwognt ahwhee whoa!"
In Microsoft Vista, Windows bricks game!
I couldn't agree more!
