don't have to worry about rolling back into the car behind you on "tricky" incline starts.
I don't know if this is a good technique, but I used to use my parking brake to hold the car still so that I had both feet free to work the clutch and gas pedals when starting from an incline.
No, you didn't. Yes, female "circumcision" exists, but what you described is not the same as female "circumcision". What you described is more accurately referred to as labiaplasty.
Female circumcision is way worse than that. It's cutting the clitoris off in most cases.
Uh, yeah, I know. Kind of why I was informing cpu6502 that they meant labiaplasty and not female "circumcision" (and why I've been putting "circumcision" in quotes).
- Let's bring back Female Circumcision too.
Same reasons (healthier).
Uh, what? Yes, you are being sarcastic, but I'm curious how one would explain the "health benefits" of female "circumcision" (which isn't even anywhere near male circumcision. It's a couple orders of magnitude worse).
That does not mesh with any definition of the term from any online dictionaries nor with how I normally see it used.
Well, are we both talking about people who dismiss the whole concept of evolution? Because that's what I thought we were talking about. I don't think I've ever seen an ID discussion where the ID side was not trying to claim that present-day humans (and maybe even every species) have, for as long as they've existed, always existed in their current biological form. Perhaps not always existed throughout all of time, but there was no gradual change in any particular species that eventually resulted in humans.
Or put another way, IDers in my experience reject even the notion that an intelligent entity guided the evolutionary process.
The theory that life [...] cannot have arisen by chance and was designed and created by some intelligent entity.
Deliberately leaving off the "or the universe" part since we're only talking about people pushing ID with regard to life. But.. well maybe it's my bias, but saying that life was "designed and created by some intelligent entity" sure doesn't sound compatible with evolution. It sounds more like the way I described ID, with a complete rejection of evolution, including evolution that was guided by some intelligent entity.
I wonder how many people will read that as "rob money"... and if that was the intention of that particular combination of Romney/Obama, or just a happy accident.
As an AC pointed out, that is not intelligent design. That is evolution through artificial selection.
Likewise, even if (a) god had intelligently designed the process by which evolution works, and then threw in a few cataclysmic disasters to steer the evolution of a species in a particular direction, that would also not be Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design is the belief that present-day humans (and maybe even every species) have always existed in their current biological form.
Some "opposing view points" do not deserve tolerance. Nazism* for example, if I may Godwin this thread.
*Well, as long as they stick to words and not actions, I frankly don't give a fuck. It's when they cross the line into actions that they do not deserve tolerance for their "opposing view points".
I don't suppose you'd be willing to share your name and address with us, so that people might be able to leave the babies on your doorstep that you so obviously wish to help raise, would you? Or perhaps give us unfettered access to your bank account to make withdraws in order to pay for things for all these babies, would you?
If you are ok with that, then I apologize for insinuating otherwise. But in my experience, people who are against any and all abortions regardless of circumstance, also have no desire to help raise all the children that they are hoisting on people against their will.
That seems like a curious comparison. You're basically saying that:
Consumer: Why don't you label your food as non-Kosher?
Producer: Because I'm not trying to market my food to you.
Is the same as:
Customer: Why don't you label your food as GM?
Consumer: Because if I did that, you wouldn't eat it!
Not commenting on whether or not consumer's fears about GM food is justified, only saying that the producers know people would shun the food simply for being GM.
I too had a bit of a double-take upon reading the submitter's comparison to Zelda. Specifically...
Fans waited five years between Zelda releases for the Wii and were rewarded. The same could be true of Mario.
I mean, isn't the same kind of already true of Mario?
Super Mario Galaxy (2007)
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2009)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (2010)
That's just three games. While there have been several dozen more that featured Mario, they aren't Mario games in the sense I feel the submitter intended. Plus, why are we only looking at Wii releases when talking about the new 3DS Mario? Wouldn't a more apt comparison include Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks in the Zelda list?
(Ignoring remakes/re-releases, since submitter already expressed an acceptance of those)
Sorry, I thought we were discussing third-party developers. But upon re-reading the thread, it seems OP never said if it was a first-party or third-party studio.
That's like saying, "well, I don't like the USA's Black History Month because there's no White History Month", when White History Month is EVERY FRIGGIN' MONTH OF THE YEAR!
While it may be a borderline racist method of expressing one's distaste with such things, it is still a valid point. I mean, doesn't having months dedicated to black and women's history sort of go against the whole "race/gender shouldn't matter, we're all created equal" thing that we're supposed to be learning growing up?
giving an entire TLD to gays is validating/recognizing something that some religions consider a sin
FTFY.
And it *is* special treatment because they aren't proposing one called.hetero are they?
I was under the impression that "they" (ICANN?) aren't proposing anything. Instead they let others request the addition of these gTLDs. In which case, there is nothing stopping you or anyone else from requesting a.hetero gTLD, is there?
Now if ICANN then comes back and says "screw you", but accepts the.gay gTLD, then you may have a point. But until someone requests it and has that request denied, special treatment this ain't.
Exactly. Unless they plan on lowering the price of the iPod touch, then in terms of price, any iPad Mini will likely be between the cost of a comparable iPod Touch and iPad.
Now admittedly I lack first-hand knowledge of this, but it was my understanding that OEMs don't generally include a monitor when purchasing a new desktop PC. Are you saying that is suddenly going to change? That OEMs will only sell new desktops bundled with a monitor?
I guess I'm sort of the opposite. I've had chocolate-covered crickets before. They're not bad. But to grind them up and make a "burger paste" out of them.. well, I just have a thing about "fake meat".
Figure out a way to market/serve them w/o trying to disguise them as "food you already know" please.

No I got the term right

Uh, yeah, I know. Kind of why I was informing cpu6502 that they meant labiaplasty and not female "circumcision" (and why I've been putting "circumcision" in quotes).
I think there's been some confusion. I was curious as to what those specific reasons would be.
I thank you for explaining what you meant, but in the future, the term you are looking for is labiaplasty, not female "circumcision".
What's that? You oppose FC? Oh I see. Hypocrite.
Not a hypocrite, it's just that the two aren't comparable.
(And no, I do not support male circumcision performed on non-consenting persons.)
trims those ugly lips off her pussy (female circumcision).
You're thinking of labiaplasty. Female "circumcision" involves the removal of the clitoris.

It's like lesbians trying to convince everyone that lesbianism is great because Leonardo DaVinci was a lesbian.
Leonardo DaVinci came from the island of Lesbos? Because that's the only definition of "lesbian" that I can think of that could possibly apply to him.

If you hate the UI changes in Windows Vista, which Windows 7 kept, and you don't like Metro, then you are kind of screwed.
Not really, you can tweak 7 to make it look almost the same as XP.

Probably because it's not cost effective to fund games for a platform you're getting ready to cancel.
Maybe it's because I'm drunk, but it sounds like you are saying that Sony pays developers to develop for the PS Vita.
I'd imagine that a not-insignificant number of people burning a Linux LiveCD are coming from a Windows environment, in which case, "what is dd?"
