  1. Re:The point was the lie itself on 550 Metric Tons of Uranium Removed From Iraq · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The problem was it was a lie,

    President Bush didn't lie about anything re:Iraq. If you've got a problem with anything he said, take it up with the intelligence community.

    Screaming "he lied! he lied!" doesn't make it so. Much like a fat man wanting to believe the tray of cookies he just ate are calorie free doesn't make it to. ;)

    mmm. Cookies....

    it's good to see third world countries (and the United States) clinging to this ancient technology.

    Give us a break. We're still trying to convince people that our species is older than a few thousand years.

    where are the answer keys?

    Funny, but it is a problem for those engaged in self-study.

    From the article:

    Some users request the teacher's manuals for textbooks, and in some cases, the site lists those for trade as well.

    While I'm sure there are plenty of people looking just for the answers, a lot of people need the "Teacher's Edition" - which has the answer key(s) - for self-study.

    Maybe some people can't understand recreational learning, but - gasp - some people want to learn for personal benefit... outside of an educational setting.

    Then again, this post is coming from a guy called "UrCreepyNeighbor". I'm odd and I know it. ;)

    Bytes? I'm working on gigabytes/day.

    I buy my movies, and I buy music; and use the internet for sharing of information and gaming.

    I promise never to allow financial gain, competitiveness or ambition cloud my judgment in the conduct of ethical research and scholarship.

    I'm sure the Nazi scientists thought they were working for "the greater good". Ouch! That's gotta hurt!

    but never to the detriment of colleagues, supervisors, research subjects or the international community of scholars of which I am now a member.

    See, folks? This is what happens when the humanities fags are able to slip their poison into the science world.

    Ha! This blog was posted by a woman ("GrrlScientist") and the "Oath" itself is from a book by a woman - called "Intuition"! rotflmao!

    Don't be silly!

    Every young woman has to learn how to care for children, cook, clean and - without being raunchy - pleasure her husband. These are things that every young woman must learn, since woman is - in her raw, natural state - an animal that isn't fit to be kept indoors. She must be trained from a young age.
