I admit I cannot think of a good way of ensuring the candidates actually know enough to properly represent the district they are being voted in to represent. I think I just got a little carried away over the idea that someone out there actually thinks it's ok to elect someone to represent a district that they know nothing about.
Term-limited legislators also don't have the time to learn the complexities of their districts.
WHAT THE FUCK???
No, seriously. What. The. Fuck? Don't have time to learn the complexities of their districts? Why the fuck are they even allowed to be voted in to represent that district if they don't know anything about the goddamned district they are supposed to be representing???
If this isn't what you meant, then please, clarify.
Just playing Devil's Advocate, but as I understand it, they are at least creating the genes, as opposed to pointing to a pre-existing gene and saying "that's mine. If you want to use it, you gotta pay me".
It's the only way the label can sell the CD for so cheap and still make money...
Of course, the royalties are first put towards marketing expenses, production costs, daily hookers for the producer, and anything else the record label could conceivably bill before either the songwriter or the artist gets anything.
In other words, you were just being sarcastic in your first post.
Excellent post, but as for the debunking of CFLs giving headaches, I'd just like to point out that, while I've not yet seen a CFL suffer from flickering, I believe it is the flickering commonly associated with FLs in general that result in headaches.
You don't cut off your kids feet because of the bad things that can afflict feet, you teach them to properly care for their feet. Why should a boy's dick be any different?
be at a lower risk of getting AIDS
That's odd, I thought it was unprotected sex that could transmit AIDS. Are you telling your child to have unprotected sex? Because that's the only way it could possibly be true that having a mutilated dick puts you at a lower risk of getting AIDS.
That's not to say that we couldn't use more censorship here
It's not censorship we need, it's accountability. We need to hold people and corporations alike accountable for their actions.
I am free to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. However, I cannot hide behind the right to "Freedom of Speech" to avoid responsibility for my actions. Likewise, anyone passing lies as "news" should not be able to hide behind the right to "Freedom of the Press" as a way to avoid responsibility for their actions.
I know it's a quote, but you're only repeating yourself if "suppose you were a member of congress" came first. All members of congress are idiots, but not all idiots are members of congress. Some are members of school boards.;)
So sentence the dude to some community service of going around to various places to talk about the importance of gun safety with props of appropriately gruesome images of the act.
There's probably a few things wrong with that particular sentencing, as I only spent about 5 seconds coming up with it. But certainly one problem would be that, unlike students in schools, generally I don't think adults can be required to attend such a thing. Unless it's their employer doing the requiring and it has something to do with their job.
If by fundamentalist you mean extremist, then you are absolutely correct. Extremists in both camps suck ass. I cannot speak for others, but I generally only "attack" the beliefs of those who won't leave me the fuck alone about my "incorrect" beliefs. I like to think most people are like that, that regardless of what their beliefs are, they won't attack unless provoked.
Unfortunately, some people think that the simple act of believing something else is provocation enough. So far I've only met theists like that, but I won't rule out the possibility that atheists like that exist.
Then the train needs to enter a normal area to let people in and out without explosive decompression.
Not really, just need some sort of tube to connect the train doorways with the terminal, the train itself would never leave the depressurized area. You don't think the space shuttle enters a fully enclosed area where air is pumped in before the astronauts can disembark onto the space station, do you?

Need I go on?
Technically accurate but no one is going to 'guess' it.
Presuming you just told the truth, they will now :P
other clauses imply that so long as it isn't prohibited expressly or implicitly then there is no problem
I think you have that backwards. When it comes to the Federal government, anything not explicitly granted to it is reserved to the states.
I'll say, High School for me used to start at around 7am, and by 10am, lunch had already been over for about 30 minutes.
And when it is a character of my own creation?
Nah, "think of the children" is.
You can do anything as long as you're doing it "for the children". Going after child porn is simply one specific example.
FOSH then :P

Yes, but these things don't just pop up over night. Maybe in 10 years we'll see something consumer-grade, and guess what, it'll be 2020 :P

there really was a john the bapist
Citation needed, and religious texts don't count.
Or if you'd like them to still count, then Star Wars media is sufficient for calling Jediism "real".
So what you're saying is that in America, not even old people use email? ;)
less infections

Last I heard, it seemed the validity of "in re Bilski" was still up for debate.

Can you even get a jury trial in civil court?

You were just trying out an idea for a play
I think you missed the part about hiring an expensive lawyer to combat your employers expensive lawyers in order to prove that is what was happening :P
But maybe I'm just being pessimistic.
