Getting off of alcohol was rough. Still smoke like 2-3 packs a week. Drink coffee in the morning. Only drink like 6 beers a week max. Getting old or something.
I'm torn between writing out a quote from The Princess Bride or implying that you're too drunk to realize you're still drinking. Decisions, decisions.
if you kill them all with fire (which they are very unlikely to be immune to) then none will survive to the next generation so the local population dies completely.
Even the people who don't outright ignore him are more likely to just bitch about it than do anything. The worst that would happen would be someone suggesting he go "back where you come from". But he wouldn't see any riots, he wouldn't see anyone torching the UK consulates in the states (the closest one to Alabama is in Atlanta, GA, for what it's worth). And he wouldn't see anyone trying to block Facebook over it.
It was harmless mocking. Yes, there were trolls who posted genocidal comments, but as far as I know the moderators of the group deleted those. Posting a picture on Mohammad's face on top of Heidi Montag's body isn't "hate speech", and it certainly isn't inciting anyone to riot.
The fair tax people are idiots who haven't thought their scheme through. Just ignore them, it's not worth the effort to debate them on anything meaningful.
Fuck you, you pathetic piece of shit. You do not have a right not to be offended. No one does. That's one of the cornerstones of our democracy. Every time someone whines and bitches about how something or other offended them and forces other people to conform to their notions of decency, a little bit of our culture dies.
I'm a British atheist. What say I go to Alabama, defecate on a bible, wrap it in the US flag and burn the bundle. That's free speech isn't it? That's me exercising the right of a person living in the US isn't it?
And I think most people in Alabama would just ignore you if you did that. I'm thinking you've never actually been to Alabama or else you'd know that already.
Only 50? I find that shocking. It would mean that LGBTs are vastly underrepresented in cases of murder than the general population. I think we should all do our duty and go out and kill on LGBT person today, to help tip the scales back to average.
Strictly speaking, no one is trying to ban gay marriage. They're trying to prevent it from happening. It's still annoying, but it's important to be accurate on things like this or else some asshole will pick apart that one mistake and ignore the rest of your comment.
Which is even worse. Like I said, there's no way they'd shut down the IRS if Congress started levying excise taxes across the board. We'd just end up with both forms of tax and even less money in our pocket.
So please, drop the "Fair Tax" nonsense. It's not going to happen the way you think it will, and it's not going to help anyone.
It doesn't matter how cold it is if there's no medium to suck up your heat. Again, there's a reason 80F air feels warmer than 80F water: water is thicker and so transmits radiation (eg, heat) more efficiently. A void won't transmit any heat at all, unless you're pushing it out.
No, it's not. If you're in view of the sun it's incredibly hot. And even when it's cold there's no medium to absorb your waste heat. In the same way that water cools you faster than air because water is denser, a void won't cool you at all beyond what you can naturally radiate away.
20% flat tax with a one-time $50,000 exemption for every tax payer in a household (but you don't get a refund if you owe negative tax). How does that screw low-income earners?
You're confusing excise taxes with flat income taxes. They have nothing in common except for being a way for the government to gets its filthy hands on your money.
Yes, because passing two Constitutional amendments (one to repeal the income tax and one to authorize a general excise tax) is going to happen. Or you could just find a way to authorize Congress to levy excise taxes across the board (they might not even need an amendment for this, with the way the commerce clause has been abused). I'm sure they'd just shut down the IRS then, and not tax us both ways.
Entering or remaining in the country without authorization is a civil infraction; dodging your taxes is a felony. One is slightly more serious than the other.

Put simply, caffeine lets you turn it up to 11.
No, it was rice, not Calgon.

Or nukes from orbit.
Just sayin'.
That's called "whiskey".
But you get a pass if you immediately look it up on Wikipedia to double check. Bonus pass if you knew to go to Memory Alpha first.

That would be redundant as Idle is, itself, malware.
Read the other response down below, from MrZilla. His contains a great explanation for how this happens.

Agreed.
Whoop-de-whoop, it's a misdemeanor, then. Still hardly something to get all upset about.

Pretty sure there's a tax on that.

Ugh, stupid Slashcode stripped the cent signs from my post.
