If only one or two companies can succeed then the market for PC gaming isn't big enough. Some people want to do more with PC gaming than chat with 14 year old boys posing as a female dwarf.
They were had no weapons and were just standing around. If I can see they're holding cameras then surely a trained professional with (I assume) a better than Youtube video quality view can see the same.
You're right that not all troops are perfect and they're not all bloody thirsty freaks either. We shouldn't allow the bad apples to get a pass for what they do just to protect the good ones. The problem is the government is very happy to do that which may protect US citizens views of their own troops but the people living in Iraq know this is happening and it's just going to make more and more of them hate us and want to help terrorism against the US.
The government should be doing more to condemn bad troops to show that we don't accept this rather than protecting them and making it look like we support this.
co-workers in the smoking area do the same thing. If you smoke on your own then you can get a drink on your own too. It'll probably be easier to do now that so many companies require smokers to stand in specific areas to smoke where as tea can be had anywhere.
Which isn't very useful since this isn't the 50's can you can't smoke in most places let alone while doing your job and being smarter on your cigarette break isn't really a benefit to the company.
Not everyone gets addicted but the vast majority do and won't go days without smoking. Likewise the fact that some people have fallen out of an airplane without a parachute and have survived doesn't mean everyone should give it a go.
I enjoy reading books and therefore don't try to quit reading books. I can't think of one smoker that I've met that hasn't tried giving up at least once. Sure you get some enjoyment from the smoking as it's satisfying your body's urges and therefore your brain will quit nagging you.
The test would be that I can quit reading books this very second for a year where as a smoker is very unlikely to be able to do that.
Some people enjoy sniffing glue and I would definitely say that is a sign of a lack of intelligence. Not necessarily low intelligence. Remember everyone in their test fell within a normal intelligence range.
It's just saying you're more likely to not be as smart as a non-smoker and I think that is a fair assumption when you enjoy inhaling some of the worst chemicals known to man. No one is calling you retarded, just not as smart as someone who would avoid that.
I personally think people should either be tested annually or have their licence taken away once they retire. You shouldn't encourage people with apple sauce for brains to be driving.
The thing is if their god exist I can't honestly see that he wants people wasting their lives arguing about evolution, dinosaurs and the age of the earth because none of that stuff should really matter to them especially when there are so many people that are in poverty, starving or physically handicapped and would love to have these people putting their energy into helping them rather than trying to convince themselves that their beliefs are the best.
I think it's a sign their faith isn't that strong which sort of sucks for them seeing how that is a fundamental part of their religion.
The whole "Christian" right is proof. I don't completely deny the idea of an after-life. It is pretty much a 50-50 chance. Either it is there or it isn't. What I am very certain of is that humans don't have a clue at all what will happen after they die. After all that is whole point in having faith. You don't have faith that the first letter of the English alphabet is A. It's a fact which can't be sensibly denied by anyone. That can't be said about any religion beliefs which is why the Christian god puts so much value in people having faith because you can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he exists.
How I got to that conclusion to was by reading up on religions and reading the texts like the bible. The bible is actually quite interesting and there are some very good ideas in it. But most practitioners of their religion pick and choose bits or want to stick in their head in the sand about the fact the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions are so similar and all three borrow bits from previous religions. Where as the wise thing would be to say there reason for all the similarities are that the fundamentals are true and they've just come out differently due to human interpretation and therefore embrace the other religions rather than act as if they are your worst enemy.
It's not that hard to see that America's "Christian" right and their beliefs do not match Jesus' teachings and beliefs. For starters the bible is quite clear that you shouldn't be a loud mouth religious jerk and that your connection to the lord should be private.
There is also the fact that the free market capitalist system ironically matches the evolutionary theory and not Christianity. It's all about survival of the fittest. Not wanting to share some of your wealth so others can have healthcare falls under greed which is a sin and the bible repeatedly blasts the rich and wealthy. After all it's apparently easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven and the bible states you can't serve two masters, the lord and mammon (money).
So therefore the whole basis of being a Christian conservative is complete and utter BS.
I'd go out of my way to help out someone who truly followed the word of Christ. I think for someone to sit down and actually read the bible and do their best to follow it to the letter is very admirable. By that I mean the important bits about helping your fellow man and not being a greedy douche. But there in lies the problem, I've not really met anyone like that and I've certainly not seen them on TV.
It's easy for people to say that Muslims need to tackle their extremists (which they should) but Christians have the same exact problem and they need to start standing up and condemning those who don't follow the bible properly rather than paying Sarah Palin to read a speech off her hand.

The point being is that the morals come from the human or the society rather than from science.
And science will always offend someone because it will always go against someone's beliefs. If we catered to the most backwards members of society we the only medicine we would probably have are leeches and cutting holes in people to drain the bad stuff.
The problem with science is that they are missing the moral factor, allowing them to do everything that only hurts us, or destroys our world. They are of course doing some good things too, but the question is if those good things outreach the bad things. Looking at our earth, I would say no.
Science shouldn't have morals. Morals are nothing more than someone's opinion on how things should be. Most people do agree on the same morals.
Take for instance the age of consent. It can range anywhere from 9 to 20. Who is right? 9 seems disgusting to me but then people who believe it should be 20 may thing 16 is disgusting.
Is stem research morally wrong? Some think so but would it be morally right to stop something that may save millions of lives? Again some say yes and some say no.
It's pretty sad though that most people need some greater force to tell them to treat people as they want others to treat them. Perhaps humans aren't as advanced as we would like to think.
Every belief has extremists that won't accept any other opinion. No sane person would say Science is immune to that nor does it justify any other person to counter them by being extreme in their beliefs too.
Same way you'd explain that you can call someone a Christian when the vast majority by far don't follow the bible and most of their ideals are the exact opposite of Jesus' ideals.
That's all well and good except for the fact they companies still accept benefits from the government and use the roads. In fact they're probably damaging the roads more than the average citizen. Until *everything* including the roads are privately owned, they yes they should be paying their fair share.
.Net really cross platform no matter what people say about Mono and it's been developed by a convicted monopolist to further tie people to their shitty operating system.

That would be untrue as zero and null are generally two different values completely.
ISPs probably shouldn't have taken tax payer money then if they didn't want the government to have a say in how they run.
I'd recommend kwyjibo personally.

The test would be that I can quit reading books this very second for a year where as a smoker is very unlikely to be able to do that.
Which is of course why virtually all smokers have tried quitting and would like to quit.

Those people are known as women and they do that to justify their spending addictions.
