... it could get up to 65 to merge onto the interstate.
Well of course it could. No one thinks that 4 cylinder cars can't reach highway speed. The question is how long does it take. Some on ramps are long enough for even the wimpiest car to get up to speed before merging. Some on ramps you need some serious acceleration to get up to highway speed before you run out of room.
Let me prove your stupid memory/faith assertion as completely wrong in about the simplest way possible. How is it that you get home each day? Or don't starve to death? Or know how to talk?
Because... you... remember... these... things.
If this isn't enough proof for you, then you are just refusing to accept reality.
How do you know that all this technology is around you?
Are you typing this on your paper philosophy degree, or a keyboard?
Also, if philosophy is bullshit then we might as well crawl back to ~C4 BC and start again.
Yes, it's philosophy that brought us out of the caves and developed all this technology. How many philosophy majors are Intel and Microsoft employing these days?
If he is in the UK (as he has been for some time), why wouldn't we just ask the UK to extradite him? That's the only thing that doesn't seem to add up when people yell, "The rape charge is just an excuse to extradite to the US"!
Is Sweden our extradition bitch or something? They say yes to every request we make???
Can you let us know how you manage to vote for Senators and Representatives in the other forty-nine states that you don't live in? Therein lies the problem with 'federalizing' every damn thing that a state or local government can/should take care of.
but whenever I read something about the NHS, its a sad story in the Daily Mail about some doctor making a silly mistake that takes a way a father or mother from their children, or vice versa...
The fact you consider losing all your savings preferable to a National Health Service is, well..., just really *sad*.
I think the fact that you would rather lose a loved one instead of you life savings is really sad.

...if hurricane season is 30% weaker than that same average, can I declare global warming over?
U.S. Attorney James Santelle, who argued that warrantless surveillance cameras on private property "does not violate the Fourth Amendment."
Well, Mr. U.S. Attorney James Santelle, I'll be over at your house in a few minutes with my camera to start recording what you do on your property.
The phone would be smart enough to not just be a computer but it could be my computer.
Anyone have a clue what he means by "my computer"? All the computers I currently own and use are my computer already.
...naming his son Michael Regent of Sealand
Kind of an odd name. His middle name is Regent? And can you change the name of your son once he is an adult? Weird.
All ramps are legally required to be of a sufficient length for any properly maintained car to reach merging speed.
That is the most vague, made up shit I have every heard on /.
"Properly maintained" doesn't sound like a very well defined legal definition.
You are supposed to accelerate around the curve before you get to the straightaway...
Would you care to explain how you are suppose to drive 55-65 MPH on a 35-45 MPH (or less) curve?

...the prerequisites are an understanding of probability,...
What the hell? No wonder the internet slows down for no apparent reason:
User: What are the chances of my packet getting through today?
Network admin: Eh, about 83% today. Maybe your odds will improve tomorrow.
Yeah, it will be much better with Jerry Brown presiding over it instead...
Um, just exactly how much statistical analysis is necessary to declare this fraud?
I hear Apple is looking to hire a new CEO.
The faster he gets home, the sooner he can smack her I guess?
How many innocent people have we wound up throwing in prison until they die?
Because if/when exonerating evidence turns up they can take advantage of it by, you know, still being alive.
I don't think so.
There are also way too many cases of people on death row who end up being cleared.
Couldn't this be an indication that the appeals process is working?
How many innocent people have we wound up executing? We'll never know.
How many innocent people have we wound up throwing in prison until they die? We'll never know.
Given all the news lately, I first read that as 'Patents'...
1. I remember your post.
2. I look it up in your post history.
3. They match.

I love philosophy most of all because it really angers shallow westerners.
So the reason you really love philosophy is because it pisses off shallow people? That's... pretty shallow.
I accept my memory as reliable. My acceptance is an act of faith.
Where do you come up with this shit?
I don't need 'faith' to accept my memory as reliable. I can test it easily at any point.
And mathematics is a product of philosophy.
Yeah, I can see philosophers developing mathematics:
2+2=4... or does it? Who can say for sure?

Remember that stupid post you just made?
Checking your post history confirms that my memory recalls it perfectly in all it's stupidity.

Excuse me for a moment while I go buy my Federally mandated health insurance policy...

Do they think that the current internet is unable to host sites that 'promote homosexuality'?
On a side note, who here still thinks it's a good idea for the UN to be in charge of the internet?
