GP never said any such thing. GP's entire argument is that Muslims aren't violent as a whole, it's only a minority of Muslims who are violent. Yet we condemn them all. Contrast that with the fact that again only a minority of Christians are violent, but this time we only condemn that minority.
but this is definitely "fire in a crowded theater" material.
Wait, what? So does that mean if I tell you I will hurt anyone who mocks soup, you think that no one should be allowed to mock soup? And anyone who does should be punished for inciting violence or something? I mean, why else compare this to "fire in a crowded theater" unless you think someone doing so should be punished?
The best (worst?) part though, is the only reason it's Muhammad in the bear suit is because they say it is. It's analogous to me drawing a stick figure and saying "this is Muhammad disguised as a stick figure". If someone were to come across it without my description, they'd think nothing of it. But because I say it's supposed to be Muhammad, suddenly some assholes halfway around the world want to kill me? WTF?
Maybe what they should do is take off the bear costume in episode 201, revealing that it's actually Jesus in there.
And then sometime after the episode airs, claim that it wasn't really Jesus, but Muhammad wearing a Jesus costume.
The difference is that the DVD and BluRay DRM is easier to circumvent.
And nothing's wrong with renting, but we aren't talking about renting. I admit I haven't checked, but it was my understanding that iTunes does not do video rentals, only video sales.
Obama has actually done nothing to prevent Gitmo from continuing to operate
Ignoring for a moment that basic human rights violations should be enough to keep Gitmo from reopening, do we really want a government that can say "we're going to do this thing, and there's no reversing this decision, ever."?
GP didn't say "it's", GP said "'it's". GP wasn't saying that you said "it is", GP was putting the "it" in single-quotes and using the "s" to indicate plurality.
If you already know of the band Tiny Tim, and already know you like The Legendary Pink Dots more, then yes, Tiny Tim will not do as a replacement. But this isn't about going after a different band that you already know about. This is about saying "fuck it, The Legendary Pink Dots isn't worth the price. Lets see what new bands are on iTunes that I haven't heard of."
Isn't that a bit like saying that with enough practice, you can type on a computer, write a paper (as in, pen and paper), and play a piano, all at the same time, despite only having 2 hands? Or if you'd like to include additional appendages, then for x appendages, you can learn to do x+1 tasks which require said appendages?
In Maryland at least, you're not being charged with a crime, your vehicle is. Or something weird like that. I forget exactly how my uncle (who is a police officer) explained how the state justified it.
Depends how short you want them. The 4 second following rule (I've heard some call it the 3 or even 2 second rule, but I was taught 4) is intended to give you enough distance to stop from hitting the person in front of you should they suddenly slam on their brakes. But the 4 second following rule takes into account the fact that the person in front of does not instantaneously stop, they will still be moving forward for a bit. So while you won't slam into their rear-end, you may pass the point in the road that they were at when they first applied their brakes.
Since a traffic light is stationary, it is an instantaneous stop of a vehicle in front of you. So if you're 4 seconds away from crossing underneath a traffic light the moment it turns yellow, even if you slam on your breaks, you may end up "hitting" it (running a red light).
But I agree that simply increasing the length of the yellow light may not be enough, you may need to also increase the amount of time when all lights are red.
I think GP was saying that if you do away with the yellow, you turn red when the light would normally turn yellow, but the other direction doesn't get green until they normally would get it. IE, all directions have red for 5 seconds instead of 1. That said, I still disagree with them as the yellow/red transition is useful in determining "oh, well, guess I should have stopped after all. I'll remember that for next time", especially for newer drivers.
Sometimes though, you end up waiting till the other light turns green, simply because you see someone barreling down who may or may not stop for the red light.

FTL.
It's the same censored version as was on CC. I think OP was referring to an "accidental" leak of the uncensored version.

No, it was right before you fixed it. They are full of wonder in the sense that you wonder how anyone can actually belief that crap. :P
Yes, and that was the episode GP was referring to when GP said "but then they went ahead and did it anyway, so [Isaac Hayes] quit".

I think Mr AC was more worried about a "Walt Disney Presents:" kind-of deal, rather than "Some Company that Disney Happens to Own Presents:".
Disney has a family-friendly reputation to maintain for anything that directly bears their name.
Not job, job opportunities.
For example, he may still be employed with Apple, but he'll no longer be a part of any project consisting of developing new gadgets.
Art is anything humans make that isn't diagrams and maps and C-SPAN, anything trying get across something besides a flat 'Here is what happened'.
Well by that definition, are cave drawings really art? Weren't cavemen simply trying to say "here is what happened [on our latest hunt]"?
Though I suppose there is probably a non-zero percentage that are more than a flat "here is what happened".
Right, because exceptions are never made for police, ever.

Just saying.

I'm curious as to how you plan on presenting it as a "just because" present without it sounding like you're saying she's fat.
My debit card is protected by a PIN so I've never had that used by anyone
Is your debit card also one which you can use like a credit card (and thus avoids the requirement of entering a pin in order to use)?
Swearing is not Tourette's Syndrome
But it can be a part of it.
Coprolalia is an occasional characteristic of Tourette syndrome, although it is not required for a diagnosis of Tourette's.
Not God, just (some of) His followers.
Who was it that said something like "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are very un-Christ-like."?
In Maryland at least, you're not being charged with a crime, your vehicle is. Or something weird like that. I forget exactly how my uncle (who is a police officer) explained how the state justified it.
then they bitch about how no one stops for a right on red
I do, and have been repeatedly honked at for it. As if they somehow know that the cross-traffic left-turners aren't about to get a green arrow.

Yeah, that's a little clearer. Thanks.
