I've heard that some Europeans avoid that by going to the US, getting a drivers license after a quick written test and road test, and then having that transferred to their own country's license when they return home.
I'm not from US and have a hard time understanding the rules.
No, I doubt that. The rules are pretty simple. At an intersection with control signals, you can enter the crosswalk when the sign says WALK. Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. End of rules.
If the sign says DON'T WALK, you may not legally enter the crosswalk. The "numbers" have no regulatory basis.
After the countdown, is it okay to run over pedestrians?
And that's why I doubt you actually have a hard time.
Legitimate for holding services and being tax exempt. Not legitimate for being given exemptions such as this case, or drug use (peyote, for example), or other corner cases.
One of my customers has them in the two new computers he bought. Custom built, each with mirrored SSDs for C: drive.
One SSD failed in two months, and one in the other computer is gone after about 8 months. Not high usage either. The workhorse drives are standard spinning disk drives.
I know, YMMV, but still, that's a high failure rate, with good name brand drives.
Militant atheists are generally reacting to a militant religious upbringing.
Actually, that is one thing I notice. It seems the ones who 'hate religion' the most, hate the one they were brought up in. They resented having to sit through church services every Sunday for 18 years. Now they are freeeee, and want everyone to know how much they hated church.
Don't treat internet comments as a representative sample of humanity. That way lies woe.
In my post below, I realize I mistook your meaning. Seeing that you are the poster that started this thread, as well as the one I replied too, I realize I assumed too much earlier. Now, reading your parenthesis here, I see my list is wrong on at least one item (#5), and maybe another (#3).
Anyway, you started a really interesting thread. Whoever modded your post below as flamebait was an idiot.
Because that is the function of government, making rules. Just because you or I don't agree with them doesn't matter. Their rules define "legitimate religion", and that designation allows certain activity that otherwise violates laws.
I could have said the same statement, but put "society" in place of "government". "Society" did not blaze the Oregon Trail, nor did it build the subdivisions that millions of people live in.
As for the rest of the items he listed, I did not dispute them.
As for going to live where a society I disagree with doesn't exist, my ancestors already did that. Their sacrifice is being spit on by people like you who think your view is the only one that matters, because, hey, you got yours and want mine too.
Do you not know what the word "most" means. It means "not all, but more than half".
Look at all the towns established by people before a government existed in that location. All the buildings and roads were put in place by individuals, families, and companies. The government had nothing to do with the construction other than either sanctioning it or not prohibiting it, if either at all.
The Eisenhower Interstate system is one of the few actual fully-government-built roadways in the US.

What word do you use to refer to people who are shorter than 4 feet tall when they are an adult?
Dr Sheldon Cooper?

Is that common, as far as you know?
Next time, carry a cement block while jogging. It is a great attention getter.
Especially when he has friends over, all equally blind, searching for the dimple.
So your the one that provides overly precise conversions for news articles.
I knew you sounded familiar. ;^)
Thank you Captian MP3. Unfortunately for mythosaz, Phoenix was designed on the OGG specification for noise propagation of downtown intersections.

But his post is funnier than your.
If the woman is getting Medicare coverage, she is not likely to need birth control.

You speak the truth.
Do you have a newsletter I may follow? ;^)
And those were already covered by the employer provided health care in this case.
This case is not about 'the pill', especially not when used for medical conditions rather than birth control.
He probably saw "My Cousin Vinny" too many times.
"The people down here sleep with their sister."
Looks around at all the people with guns.
"Well, some of them do."
And it was the same mentality that ruled the southern US before the Civil War. (And still today, for some.)
The really unbelievable part is that the two groups most affects by these examples are perfectly fine with labeling another group as 'not-human'.
By your own words, you admit he right, whilst saying he is wrong.
No. You misread it.
Micky said that "healthcare is earned", not health insurance, which is what the employer actually provides as part of compensation.
Thank you for your concern for my knowledge base.

Good point.
Oh sure,bring abortion into this debate. Asshole.
> Remember the collapse from the housing bubble burst? Who predicted that?
That wasn't really a question of economics more so outright cheating/lying by the bond rating agencies.
Yeah. They're the group to focus on. The people who said a pile of shit was worth its weight in gold.

Would this 3-person religion be able to smoke peyote for religious purposes? The government says no.
I'm not the one making the rules. I just listed them.

Distinction without much of a difference.
I disagree.
We could do this all day.
