Teenagers who have a social life that is driven by peer validation, rather than, say, quality of social interaction or deep interest in a certain activity...
I'm afraid there isn't a person not living in a remote cave in deepest darkest africa that doesn't lead such a social life. It is impossible to have a social life if your activities do not meet with the approval of the people you socialise with. Your validation might come from different activities, but you're kidding yourself if you think you can operate in society without its approval.
maybe the price of having the power of life and death over people (literally) [i]should[/i] be that you "drop out of society"... It'd solve a lot of corruption..
Seriously, when they sign up for "free websites" they give their real information INCLUDING their student ID number. Have you ever wondered why the government catches so many political dissidents? It's because they all give their addresses on the internet! It's the biggest wraught ever!
Why should we be surprised Australia=China, our prime-minister's half Chinese.
I am totally awaiting the day I can flash up "YOU'RE A DOUCHE" in bold h1 on some the dude who just cut me off's windscreen. Maybe he'll get so distracted he'll plow into a street light.
Well, it's either that or "Smooth move, ex-lax."
In Australia, Queensland, at least, you are protected by law as long as you administer first aid in accordance with what you were taught during your first aid course. If you break ribs administering CPR (which you should, if you're doing it right) boo hoo to them. If they are unconscious or unable to speak coherently, consent to treat is implied. Simply having a first aid qualification does not require you to help, but if you involve yourself in the situation you're required to continue- and calling the emergency services counts as administering first aid.
The moment they make us liable for properly administering first aid...
Not to poo poo you, but as we're in the appropriate thread...
Peristalsis is not something one could ever initiate, being that it never really ceases. It doesn't refer to the act of shitting, but of the process whereby chyme is moved along the intestines.
Perhaps he may have said "I wish to begin evacuation," but that may have had some amusing consequences given he was addressing security.
and whence, praytell, sprang our galaxies and black holes? What was there, after the pop of beginning?
I for one, welcome our very old, itty bitty overlords.
Nature doesn't have any intentions for me or any one.
Within a stupidly small period of time, evolutionarily speaking (something like 10 years, 1 generation, or 10 generations, I forget which), after incorporating meat into their diet, our homonid ancestors began using tools.
Meat is simply the best energy source there is available, after energon. And once you build a bigger & better brain, you need to maintain it. Nuts & berries do not do the job.
Nature does intend for you to eat meat.

As Tron comes from before the invention of spam filters, there probably will be a longer cannon.
As a practising Retrophrenologist, I wholeheadedly support this thread. Any fool can prescribe pills to make you believe anything you want, but it takes a real professional to judge the force and positioning necessary to cure the deluded of their flying purple frogs.
You know, just playing devil's advocate for a moment, and while I've always held what you've said to be true, you gave me pause for thought.
Is science falsifiable in a way that religion is not? I mean, it's not like we can actually take a look at each particle and verify that it behaves the way we think it should. Even if we could, and we found one that didn't, we'd just invent a new theory to say why, and pat ourselves on the back!
It just seems to me as the moment that what science tells us isn't quite universally falsifiable, and ultimately about as falsifiable as the consequences of faith...

Woops. I wonder how the children, the pictures of whose faces were used, would feel if they were sent these photos. Or if their parents received them.
This is harm.
a)Obviously photoshopped pics that b)no one would have ever seen if not for the prosecution of the case.
The charging of the "criminal" has caused the crime, in this case... Probably not where you want to be.

Of course, the best thing about the fractal growth concept is that if you ever run out of room, you can just add more space!
Well I for one welcome our new Qbert overlords!
pornography depicting-small breasted women is illegal in australia now. Wife got small breasts? Better not take naked photos of her!
Yes, you should. We are only here by virtue of what has created us.

I tell you what, fractalling wasn't a particularly pleasant experience (to put it mildly), but I never really understood fractals until then.
Jesus, some people can be real Nazis about others' usage of the vernacular..

Personally I'd much rather see a test for melatonin levels than any narcotic.
Except that melatonin is more a measure of how dark it is outside than how tired you are. Congratulations, you just jailed 85% of us nocturnists.
