"The only Christian sects which believes in so-called "saints" as a special class of believers is Roman Catholic and Orthodox. All other Christian groups hold with biblical teaching that all believers are saints." That's funny. First. Those "only sects" - Roman Catholics and Orthodox Christians - make up 1,4 billion people. While "all other" - Protestants and Anglicans - make up about 600 mil. Second. Most "all other" Christian groups also believe in the original sin so they can't teach that all believers are saints. Stop talking out if your ass.
"Say what you will about Mr. jobs, he has created and revolutionized several industries from scratch (personal computing, "windows" based computing, computer animated movies (Pixar), digital distribution of media, portable digital media devices, cellphones, tablet computers)." I don't think you know the meaning of the word 'revolutionize':)
"f you believe that God created the universe, that's not an acceptable reason for an employer to discriminate against you, even in the sciences. " Sooo... When will atheists have the right to be not discriminated against when they apply for ministerial positions at the church?
No, it's you who's the fucking idiot. The parent means that computers can't tell what music is and what isn't, what the right way to play it is and what isn't. Math has more to do with the acoustics than composition or performance. Oh, and go upstairs and ask your parents to teach you the basics of human interaction again.
Who modded this moron Insightful? First, "communism" had nothing to do with the Chernobyl disaster. It was bureaucracy, stupidity and cowardice. Second, it wasn't malice, but almost total disregard for human life inherent in the Russian government since the middle ages. Third, how is "communist" an American word? Are you delirious?
"My son has no SSN, because I want him to experience first-hand how ridiculous and unjust it is that... " I guess you also named him Sue? Way to go in building his character:)
First, calm down. No need for a hissy fit if you disagree with someone. Second, in addition to having a gun one also needs to be able to use it efficiently, which I'll dare say most women aren't.
First, perhaps you'd like to avoid being an ass and stop poking your nose into somebody else's business. They can live under whatever regime they want. Second, perhaps your friends shouldn't have engaged in a highly controversial war against Serbia.
Odd... That was exactly my impression of France and Germany... And I'm not what you'd call an 'American tourist'. Should I just lump together all Europeans and call them 'impolite'?
I guess I'm just failing to clearly express what I mean:) I'm not arguing that the PP were much more important. But let's compare the Pentagon papers with someone reporting a murder and the latest leaks with the reporting of a misdemeanor. The latter is still important, right?
Will it mean hackers and the like will be considered enemy combatants if taken prisoners? Won't they have to wear uniforms to distinguish themselves from 'terrorists'? Too bad the black berets are already taken by the USAF. How about black hoodies? I'm also pretty sure some will insist on including dice, wands or xkcd quotes...
"No. The point was not thousands killed." The point of why the US public cared.
"The Pentagon Papers revealed that four administrations had mislead the public on their intentions and the expansion of the war." Well, isn't that what pretty much everybody knows regarding the previous administration? And pretty much nobody cares...
"This leak has no such revelation. And, in fact, is simply a shotgun of information with no actual subject or point to make." Did you know that the Secretary of State had ordered spying on the UN officials or anything else revealed? Well, it's a revelation then. It might not be as big as the Pentagon papers, but it's still a revelation.

"It was an old plant, the new ones are safer: if this one wasn't safe then why was it running?"
It was scheduled for decommission this month.
"The Romans had three words for love -- eros, filial, agape"
Not the Romans, but the Greek. Also, not three, but four: agape, philia, eros and storge.

I just tried that on my Ubuntu laptop and nothing was found. I sudo all the time on it. Any other ideas?
Holy fuck... That's just an unbelievable degree of idiocy...
"Nuts can just get a knife* or a brick and still kill lots of people."
So you think there would be the same number of victims if this guy had just a couple of knives? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)

Well, they can just do what they do now - use the standard phones that every prison provides for communication.
"If you practiced Astrology you would see without any doubt that there is some truth to it..."
Yeah. And if you ate some cow crap you'd see without any doubt that it's somewhat filling.
Kudos for questioning the authority though.

Are you sure?

So, where's the evidence? :)
800 thou is almost 0.3% of the total US population, isn't it?
0.3% the total US population goes missing every year?! WTF?!
...and she's gone...

PS. Please keep your anecdotes to yourself.
Now we don't need you either!!! :D
