    Correlation != Causation. Not arguing for gun laws here, but that saying that gun laws increase crime is inaccurate. Crime increases gun laws is more likely. Look at the areas that have really tried (unsuccessfully) to put in strict laws. Chicago, New York. All areas with high crime BEFORE the gun laws kicked in.

    The Constitution also doesn't state that the government has the power to force citizens to purchase unwanted health insurance from private entities, but it seems that this Court doesn't believe the States or the people reserve that power.

    It does say that congress has the power to tax. And The Supreme Court viewed it as a tax. You pay additional "Taxes" if you do not have health insurence. Sounds well within Congressional Authority.

    I love the example of the romans, they did win at all cost. For about 1000 years!, just because they did not last forever does not mean they were not sucessful.

    close, but no. You will see YHWH in the torah and sometimes prounounced in ceremony. But they did not go back and add vowels to it like they did the rest, because that would pervert the original name if someone read it. So what they did was add in the vowels for a different word "adoni" (king of kings) so you end up with a wierd conglomeration.-Yahoha. When the wierd conglomeration was read by a german monk, he pronounced it Jehova, unfortunatly the name stuck and we christians have yet another way to look like idiots to the jews.

    I love it how people at slashdot will find any excuse to insult creationists. All this does is widens the devide between the religious and scientific. And ensures that the few people who are both get alienated.

    Yelp was recently sued for extortion for modding down those who didn't pay though. Maybe that's what we are missing. We need to pay Apple!, oh wait that's already done by them making a "featured" secion.

    I'm suprised any example of it's actions were not in the complaint or article. Kinda wish I was able to find out who paid for good reviews.

  9. We are conditioned to disagree with "science" on The "Scientific Impotence" Excuse · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How many times have we heared that "clinical trials have proved that doing ... will increase cancer risk" only to have an oposite study published next week. Contrary to popular belief science doesn't always agrea with itself, so why fault people for not believing it at face value.
