Kind of like how young children avoid brushing their teeth or washing their hands by going to the trouble of running water, wetting their toothbrush, and making it look like they did, taking just as long as it would to do it, but not actually doing it. What's the point?
84,000 people playing 40,000 games of Diablo 2 right now; I've seen numbers well above 100,000 playing at any one time, so I guess a lot of people still like it.

Surviving Tornadoes

· Score: 2, Insightful
Tornados can come out of nowhere in a matter of minutes; I take it you've never lived somewhere they happen regularly, eh?
The only good thing about where tornados tend to occur is that population is relatively sparse; so a few farm houses get hit or small communities, but rarely a big city. If you're out in the middle of nowhere, asleep, and you're too far from a siren to have any kind of advance warning, what will your plan be then?
I have gotten a reply to every e-mail I've sent to my representatives. Bear in mind that the reply will come via snail mail and may take 2-3 weeks to get to you, but as long as you are a constituent, they'll generally reply.
I'm sure he wasn't being sarcastic at all. Perhaps the problem isn't he has weird aspirations, but rather a real dry sense of humour. Something you see quite often among scientists.
If you own a TiVo you're in the minority and probably don't watch what the majority of people watch and the results would be skewed towards the more tech savvy or people who are at home way too much and have no lives and too much time to watch TV..
Plus, if you own a TiVo you aren't watching commercials which means that whether or not you watch a show is worthless to the people producing the show and selling the commercial space during the show.
What I'm saying is that people spitting on those returning from Vietnam had their heads up their asses; I am opposed to this war, and I am opposed to the actions my friends and their colleagues are taking in Iraq at this moment. They chose to be in the military, and are fully responsible.
George Bush might tell us that this war is about liberating Iraq or finding WMD, or whatever; but in the end, it is about killing people. All war is about killing people.
The military personel who served in Vietnam were not an all volunteer force like we have today. Anyone who is in the Middle East serving in the US Armed Forces, volunteered for the military and knew that fighting a war was a possibility. Many soldiers in Vietnam were there because they were drafted, and didn't have much of a choice.
. Other people like to put a chunk of steel between their families and a 1/2 ton object coming at them at 60 mph.
Funny, because SUVs have fatality rates at or comparable to most other vehicles, and are more dangerous for the other people in the accident: http://www.aceee.org/press/t021pr.htm
Democracy != better quality of life. Just means you have more freedoms. Not all democratic nations are as well off as the United States. Many other factors play in to that. Chiapus, Mexico comes to mind.
However, I believe that liberty and democracy for the whole world would be great; however, achieving this goal through military conquest is not how it should be done. Forcing our ideals onto other nations doesn't make them accept them.
Saddam himself didn't torch the oil wells, and given that it is suspected that their communications are disrupted, the oil wells burning could likely be independent actions of people in those areas.

Iraq in 1 month, but when we invade France we'll need more power to get it done faster.

I thought they used the metric system in England; and only the US and 1 other country use the English system.
There also appeared to be something that made the window roll down by pressing on it on the inside?

Pseudonym is the proper spelling. I knew that.
It IS a pen name; or the person's parents have a horrible sense of humor. "Tsu Dho Nimh" or "Sue-Dough-Nim" or "Psuedonym".
Our local newspapers publish all these statistics at election time. The information is available somewhere.
Apparently you smoked too much of that hemp, because you can't spell 'too'.

When did I say that made it okay? I think you need to read my comment again instead of posting knee-jerk reactions.

Hot damn! I can start breathing air and wearing clothes again now that I know it's okay to do some things that Nazis did.
I do hate it when people say "well Hitler/Nazis did this, so if you do it, you must be eviiiiiil."
With Britian in the war too, I wouldn't trust their news sources that much either. They've already lost more people than that US has.

They hitting buildings late at night. How many people are in such buildings by you at 3 am? Especially when they know they're going to be attacked.
Asshat is a more appropriate term for Bush.

They have a strong history of good speakers as well. Churchill comes to mind.
