He said 60% and "about 40%", for the dumb asses in the audience "about 40%" in this case means 39.x% where x is too trivial to calculate for this example. 60% + 39.x% = 99.x%.
Jeez, do you people really not get it or are you just looking to pick nits?
>>I would go a step further. If the accused father contest it, we should use the same standard that we use for a criminal trial, innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury of his peers. Of course, DNA testing by a couple independant labs will remove all reasonable doubt from most people.
I don't have any type of philosophical problem with your idea, however mine eliminates any doubt from DAY ONE. I realize that Oprah, Ricki Lake, and Jenny Jones will have to find another staple in their lineups, but that's not my concern.
>>A woman in this situation would recieve aid until the outcome of the trial. If the man is acquitted, her and her child are SOL.
I don't think that it's an aquittal/conviction type of situation. I think that any real man would be happy to provide for his child, I just don't like it when some poor schlub takes care f a kid for 20 years before he finds out that his girlfriend/wife had been lying to him.
>>If you're such a techo-god how come you double-posted? Perhaps I'll ask Kibo to put you in the global killfile. What do you think about that, Mr. Big-Shot? Hmmmm?
Because my router hiccuped. However, AC if you choose to ignore me from now on.....OH PLEASE DON'T THROW ME IN THAT BRIAR PATCH!
>>I don't know about it being mandatory. Myself, I trust my wife, and, luckily, my kids look like me 8*) (of course, that doesn't rule out my brothers. Damn, there you go making me think...)
I too trust my wife, but as former President Reagan said "Trust, but verify."
>>If the mother isn't asking for public money, I don't care who the father is. It's when you start asking for me to help pay to raise the child that I want to know who it was that got to dance on my dime.
When mothers use state agencies to extort child support from men, we should make 99.99995% sure that it's the right guy who's paying.
>>Why does a country like Holland, where everything the conservative fights is flaunted on the street, not disolve into anarchy if what you say is true?
Not everything. Some of us conservatives here in the US favor legalization of certain drugs. Some of us have no problem with sexuality.
I favor open and honest discussion of sexuality.
Conservatism, is a way of thinking not just what you think.
Several years ago I used AOL, and I used to trade in adult pictures. I preferred to see pictures of youg WOMEN, and people would send me picture of young girls. I mean 4-10 year old girls.
Because of the laws regarding kiddie porn I was afraid that I'd get in trouble if I didn't immediately delete them, so I got rid of them. Then I was without any evidence to forward to AOLs administration or police.
>>Not everyone can meet you at your level. I'm glad that AOL (who has done more than any company to bring the Internet to the masses) is leveraging their power to increase their range.
Why is this good? Did you ever think that maybe more clueless idiots is exactly what we DON'T need?
The more clueless idiods we get, the more of a call for regulation we will get. Also people who don't understand the culture, the more "$$$$Make cash Now, Ask me How$$$" messages we will get.
>>Not everyone can fire up a Linux box and configure PPP and connect to the Internet.
Not everyone can put the key in the ignition, start the car and go for a drive.....If you lack the requisite skill set, you've got no business getting on the internet, or going for a drive.

I think that states should REQUIRE people to obtain a computer operators license before they're allowed to purchase any computer.
Simple stuff so that people understand that it's NOT ok to say "Yeah, I have a computer with 32 RAMs of memory, and I want to add more megabytes because I have enough RAMs, but this program says it needs 64 megabytes to run."
All I want is for people to have at least a LIMITED understanding of the technology.
It doesn't surprise me that this is what happens when more outsiders join the club. We're letting the suits take over something that was designed by, and until 5 years ago exclusively populated by geeks.
Next we'll be hearing about "Why isn't there a way to just 'get a domain name' by changing your machine's name under windows?"
>>Just because the Feds didn't stomp a kitten to death or blow a kid's head off THIS TIME doesn't make what they did any more acceptable.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it that way.
"Boo, hoo, the feds came into my place of business flashed a warrant, talked fast using big words, and collected my property to use as evidence." doesn't ring of abusive behavior to me.
Where was your outrage when REAL abuses were going on.
In the end, the Nazis did destroy the ghetto, however it did buy it's inhabitants nearly 2 weeks.
Well in Chechnya the Russians are getting a little help from their Uncle Sam. Some of their bombing exhibits accuracy and timing that they are not capable of on their own.
10 guns here or 20 guns there won't save any decisive number of people, but 10 thousand guns could have saved 12 million people from dying in Nazi death camps. Just a reminder, nearly half of the people killed by the nazis, in their camps, were NOT jewish.
I don't have a problem with guns used for defense. I have a concealed weapons permit and it's not because I may be suddenly struck with the urge to go out hunting. It's because I have little faith in the ability of the police to protect my personal safety and that of my family.
As it's been said so many times before the second amendment isn't about hunting. I have more guns than I have fingers (btw, I do have all 10 of my fingers) and only two of them are suitable for hunting.
I don't think I'm Rambo, John Wayne, or Elliot Ness, I'm just a simple man who enjoys target shooting and has a desire to remain safe.

To the feebleminded, if there is a NAME used as a label for IT, then it must be wrong, even if it isn't. The NAME, now a "proof" of sorts, can be used as a "sledgehammer" if IT comes up again.
"The case you just made was first made by Edgar Sullivan in the late 1800s and was quickly disproved. The 'Sullivan Error' inevitably occurs to people when they first start studying the subject."
"Your line of reasoning is called the MacGregor Phenomenon."
Just beause he made a WWII reference does not invalidate the good point that he makes.
1. Freud was a bigtime cocaine user, does that invalidate his work?
2. Many samurai in feudal Japan engaged in homosxual activity, does that mean that they were "gay"?
My point is that, he makes a very good point. Law abiding americans have had to endure abuses of law enforcement in the past. The fact that this is an electronics company shouldn't make their plight any more important.

Mandrake 6.0 is my distro of choice, but when Mandrake is using RedHat as a base, they should at least use a similar versioning system.
I've got RedHat 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, and 6.1 yet I still prefer Mandrake. I was NOT bashing mandrake.

It's great that Mandrake can get to a higher version number than the distro that it's "Based" on.

Because many of these women who've become baby factories can't name a father with any degree of certainty.

Since you bring it up, I think that genetic testing on ALL births should be mandatory, leaving NO QUESTION about who the father is.
