They cater to both moral and fiscal conservatives despite obvious inconsistencies, such as Jesus helping the poor and budget cutting anything that helps poor people.
Christian - I give of my time, and money to help the poor. Note, this is not to provide a living for the poor but rather to help them out in times of need.
Non-Christian - You take my money by force (ie. thieft) and give it to people to provide them a living ( the problem of being poor never goes away if the poor are rewarded for their poorness )
I fully suport programs that help people to become productive members of our society. However we should not be rewarding people for having more children than they can care for.
Do you think Jesus would have supported the NRA?
After the passover meal and before His arrest Jesus told His deciples to sell their coats and buy a sword. Love your enimies does not mean that you should be deffenceless.
Many Christian groups treat women as second class citizens because they are to remain silent in church, and obey their husbands.
I would not expect a non-Christian to understand the structure of a Christian household, or why that structure applies in church, but I assure you that among Christian groups that hold such beliefs the women is certainly not a "second class citizen". Purhaps, before you make such accusations you should ask some of the women whould live in such households what they think about it. To put the situation into perspective, a second class citizen is someone who is denied certain privlages, not someone who willingly surender certain abilaties. For example, I may be able to sleep with my neighbors wife, but I don't for multiple reasons. One of which is that I am commanded in the Bible "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Does that make me a second class citizen to someone who would commit adultery? I realize that Roman Catholicism and its derivatives for a very long time made Christianity mandatory, but they are primarily political organizations who abuse christianity for their gain and do not represent the Christian community.
Slavery was a big issue of the day but it is not the fundamental cause of the cival war. The cival war was about the extent of power the federal government should have over the individual states. The only good thing to come from the cival war was the abolishion of slavery. Pryior to the cival war most people thought of the states as "States" (i.e. nations) that agreed to federalize forming a stronger union. For many in the southern states the idea that they could be told that they could not secede from the union was unthinkable. Today, thanks largely to the cival war, we now have a federal government that tries to run every aspect of our lives.
The federal government has gone so far that they take about 30% of our work as their own in the form of federal taxes. They call it an income tax, but ignore the fact that individuals don't make income. All the money that we make is payment for labor or services rendard. That means that your salery is a trade between you and your employer for your time, and a trade does not consttitute income. Your time belongs to you but the federal government thinks that about 30% of your time belongs to them. THAT IS MODERN DAY SLAVERY. It is inforced by a federal agency called the I.R.S. who have permission from the federal government to destroy your life if you do not surender your time to the government. All of that to say this The cival war may have ended slavery based on race, but it opened the door for the enslavement of all of america to the federal government.
Class certainly playes a key role, but I think that this is realy more of a cultural devide. Having a culture where parents are giving "the talk" to their children only predisposes those children to hate other races. This is reflected in the race problems that we have in the US. I am a "white" guy ( not really but that is how I am seen), but I have no problems with people of different races because I was taught that we are all God's creation. I can only imagine how I would feel about other races if I had been taught that people of other races are out to get me. I would probably be overly sincitive to the actions of anyone who was not a "white" person. And anything that happened to a "white" man would be seen by me as being a racist event.
I am 35 years old and I know that overwelmingly most of the people I know are not racist. Most people I meet who consider race to be important are "black", and I wonder if this is because when they were young someone told them that others would mistreat them because they were black.
Otherwise, he would have gotten a ride to the ER and a catscan to check for bleeding in the brain.
It is good to know that your idea of self defence dependes on you first getting your head beat so bad that you have a stroke "bleeding in the brain". I used to be an x-ray tech and had to do the CT scans that you mention. I can tell you that if he had waited until he suffered major brain injury before he responded, he would not have been able to defend himself at all. Self defence only works if you can defend yourself before you are disabled.
I am a bit confused. Are you saying that you used to come here just to eat our pink slime burgers? Really man, we don't even eat those. Must be an acquired taste.
Wouldn't bird shot be better. You probably want the rounds to not go through every wall in your house and then into your neighbors house. For that same reason you might want too consider a 20 gauge or even a 410 with bird shot. At the distances you'll need it inside a house the perp. will not know the differance , but your neighbor will probably appreciate you more./P
HANG ON, I'M GETTING MY GUN!" "ONE MORE MINUTE (damned the law which requires I keep my ammo separate!)... OK, FOUND THE CLIP. FULLY LOADED. I SUGGEST YOU LEAVE NOW.
You do realize that the land lines connect outside the house. It is trivial to disconect the telephone service to a residence (and internet for people like me). Most thieves may be too uneducated to notice, but I would not invest in any security system that relied on something so easily disabled.
If 90% of the worlds population didn't wake up, a large part of the other 10% would not last very long. Oil as well as all the other "scarce" resources would be the least of your wories. Rampant desease and starvation would be prevolent, as well as fighting over what resources are left after the colapse of all society.
Next time we want to build a giant science project like the supercollider, we should put it somewhere that isn't full of hateful rednecks
Do you know something that you are not sharing, or do you just hate Texans? I tried to find some more information on why the supercollider was canceled and all I found was that it was a financial consideration at the federal level. The fact is that I, like many Texas residents, would have loved to have seen the completion of the project and the subsiquent boon to our local economies. Not to mention the scientific benifit that it could have afforded all of us.
This is precisly why all laws need to expire. let the law makers work their fingers to the bone trying to keep the system going. Bad laws would simply go away. Good laws have to constantly be renewed after a set amount of time.
Are you sure you understand how X works? In a linux environment multi user truly means multi user, even X can be run from a single host to multiple servers (multi user with multiple active desktops). Neither tieing the cdrom to a single user nor requiring root access are a solution to this situation. This should be handled by having a service that manages drive mounting and unmounting on behalf of all users. When a user request that the cd be ejected the service should know who (read, which programs) is accessing the disk and respond accordingly. A message to the user who has the disk locked so that they can tell the service yes or no unmount the disk. Perhaps it needs an overide option, and let the users learn to play nice with each other.
now academics are increasingly looking for alternatives to avoid sacking researchers.
GREAT. If you think patenting your research and locking it behind a pay wall is the way to make money then do it. Just don't ask me(the tax payer) to fund it for you. Go, start your own business. You have a PhD you can do this. Put on your big boy pants and stop asking us tax payers to fund your research.
If, on the other hand, you want our help with funding then quit griping and play by OUR rules. If you take our money then you are working for us. Whatever your work produces while you are working for us is ours. If you don't like it then get another job or start your own company.
The problem is not the green crops and grass, but the animals.... taking the animals out of the equation.
Do you really look forward to the day when there are no cattle? Never mind the fact that we depend on these ranchers for our food, what you purpose would be close to bringing the extinction of cattle. Nobody will raise cows as pets. Without the cattle business we loose so much of what we depend on in our lives that I can not even begin to sum it up. Here is a link to give you some idea.
The people that responded to your post are treating you rather badly. Personally I want to thank you. I found the information very ironic. If I had mod points I would mod your post funny. The really sick thing is that I can not put down my own dog without being charged with animal cruelty but I can pay my vet to do it for me, or let my dog go to PETA and they (who care so much for the wellbeing of animals) will kill it.
Your analagy is flawed. You are not suing mosanto for "seeds in my citrus" mosanto is suing you for stealing their special seeded citrus, forcing you to burn your citrus trees, and then buying your farm when you can no longer make a living. In that cituation I would have to say that you have every right to sue them if you found even one of their seeds in yous citrus. Of course this is noncense because monsanto does not sell modified citrus seed.
This is more than just about GM crops vs organic growers. It is about a corporation owning the intelectual property rights to our food supply. It is like having a Microsoft tax on everything we eat.
I am not a gamer, but I have often wondered on threads like this why no one talks about sueing the offending company. This seems to be a perfect example of delibratly sabotaging a product.

Simple answer: Move to Texas, or possibly Florida
and have a land-line

Why would it have to stop existing?
In truth I do not think time as a dimention even exist. ;)
