We all know there are no homosexuals in the TSA. I mean, that's why they always do same-gender pat downs. That just wouldn't work if there were gay TSA agents, would it?
I agree! Also, just the other day a news article said there was a "shoot out" and I couldn't figure out if they were talking about grass stalks or guns! And then someone wanted to show me a "duck bill" but I kept telling him that I wasn't going to pay for his charges. English is too hard.
Dogs I've owned have shown amazing memorization and training capabilities. I can say "Ok, go get your leash." and they'll find it (not always in the same place) and bring it to the door and wait for me. Or there are the hundreds of various tricks you see many dogs do (Go get me a soda and a bag of chips) that involve a high level of complexity. I forget the name for it, but dogs are capable of abstract thought to the point where they know which rules apply when the leash is on versus off. Human children don't learn that until they're around four. All of these things tell me dogs are intelligent.
Ok, cats. Everything I've just said about dogs will of course be repudiated by someone saying "Cats are too smart to do what you want!" By that logic, my tetra fish are fucking geniuses, because I feed them and they don't do ANYTHING for me (at least the cats cuddle). You can't take not doing something to prove intelligence, it just means they won't (or can't) do it.
So what can we compare? Let's start with cause and effect. My dogs know when dinner time is. It's the same time every day. My cats think it's food time every time I walk near the kitchen and god help me if I'm handling a can because they'll meow for the next 10 minutes. It doesn't matter to them that I HAVE NEVER FED THEM BECAUSE OF THIS. There is no reason to believe that something will happen if they pester me and plenty of reason to think that I'll throw them in another room.
Cats just look smart because they never fail because they never try (or can't try).
The prophesy thing always gets me. The Bible MUST be true because someone in 400 AD wrote a book set in 200 BC that "successfully" predicts an event taking place in 50 BC.
Damn! All those history books in the library are actually prophesies! And they came true!
P.S. Star Trek successfully prophesied cell phones, touch screens and hot alien love making (still waiting).
Earlier popularizations of Buddhism would work fine, but you're right about the modern Buddhist culture.
One of the tenents of Buddhism (in the texts, at least) is to seek enlightenment by finding peace with your station in life. Questioning authority, striving to better your place in society and studying the science of the Universe only leads to discontentment and frustration.
By the way, look up behavioral addiction. In that context, it is possible to become addicted to marijuana. It's also possible to become addicted to gambling, sports, video games or (with practice) letting red fire ants crawl up and down the back of your throat.
I love sailing. I try and go sailing as often as I can afford and when I'm not sailing I'm thinking about it. If I am able to spend a lot of time on the water and then have to stop suddenly, I'm constantly distracted and will have vivid dreams about being on a boat.
Ergo, sailing is more addictive than marijuana. My own personal experiences confirm it, because I've never experienced any of those sensations from smoking marijuana.
This isn't really 50/50. The sample size isn't 4 markets and they guessed wrong on half, the sample size is thousands of markets, they picked 4 and were only wrong twice.
The first half of this post is very informative and explains one of the great things about EVE.

Actually, even California says that forcible entry creates a reasonable assumption of fear AND that you do not have to retreat, even if retreating would provide your safety.
California Penal Code 198.5 sets forth that unlawful, forcible entry into one's residence by someone not a member of the household creates the presumption that the resident held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily injury should he or she use deadly force against the intruder. This would make the homicide justifiable under CPC 197. CALCRIM 506 gives the instruction, "A defendant is not required to retreat. He or she is entitled to stand his or her ground and defend himself or herself and, if reasonably necessary, to pursue an assailant until the danger... has passed. This is so even if safety could have been achieved by retreating."
Hell, even in California, where I live, which is considered an 'evil, anti-gun liberal state' when it comes to things like this says:

Except that Google only stores records for 24-48 hours and then deletes them and does not share the data with its ads department or any other Google services.
OpenDNS doesn't follow the DNS standards, whereas Google's DNS does. From Wikipedia:
While the OpenDNS name resolution service is free, people have complained about how the service handles failed requests. If a domain cannot be found, the service redirects you to a search page with search results and advertising provided by Yahoo!. A DNS user can switch this off via the OpenDNS Control Panel but will lose content filtering ability. This behavior is similar to that of many large ISP's who also redirect failed requests to their own servers containing advertising. [12]
In 2007, David Ulevitch explained that in response to Dell installing "Browser Address Error Redirector" software on their PCs, OpenDNS started resolving requests to Google.com. Some of the traffic is handled by OpenDNS typo-correcting service which corrects mistyped addresses and redirects keyword addresses to OpenDNS's search page, while the rest is transparently passed through to the intended recipient.[13]
Also, a user's search request from the address bar of a browser that is configured to use the Google search engine (with a certain parameter configured) may be covertly redirected to a server owned by OpenDNS without the user's consent (but within the OpenDNS Terms of Service).[14] Users can disable this behavior by logging in to their OpenDNS account and unchecking "OpenDNS proxy" option.[15] Additionally, Mozilla users can fix this problem by installing an extension[16] or by simply changing or removing the navclient sourceid from their keyword search URLs.
This redirection breaks some non-web applications which rely on getting an NXDOMAIN for non-existent domains, such as e-mail spam filtering, or VPN access where the private network's nameservers are consulted only when the public ones fail to resolve.

Does does that go? If your article can be summarized as "no", don't write it.

There is no "general source" for the Atlantis "legend". There's a very specific one. It's Plato. He made it up for a story.
Yes, ignorance of the need to not talk to the cops.

Marijuana, however, is not chemically addicting.

The term "second world" applies to former communist states, specifically Soviet ones. Chile is not a second world nation.
That's a fantastic idea, then they might have actually made some money with the movie, as opposed to the measly 2.7 billion they made instead.
