No, many religious types believe that all people are evil types itching to go on crime sprees. You may have heard it referred to as "original sin". The fundamental purpose of religion is to keep people nice enough that we don't exterminate ourselves. (Unfortunately, it also turns out to be a great way to manipulate large groups for selfish purposes). If you read the Old Testament laws (mostly in Leviticus, re-explained in Deuteronomy) you might notice a pattern. They're all aimed at preserving a stable society with low mortality and a high rate of reproduction. They weren't new ideas that people dreamed up and said, "Let's not do that". They were common actions that were identified as things that would keep them from growing big enough to be an independent nation.
The NOAA has alerted congress that air might contain invisible gasses. We cannot underestimate the threat from those gasses which in certain conditions can be accelerated in a way that will cause damage to the US infrastructure.
I'd like to hear more about this "science-based" medicine. It seems like a great concept. Unfortunately, the only resemblance conventional medicine has with science is that doctors experiment with various drugs to see if some random combination might have a positive effect. How many commercials have you seen lately where the voice-over says, "We think this drug works by..."?
It has nothing to do with the number of people entering these fields. It's the number of jobs that companies are removing from these fields. They cut staff and tell those remaining that they have to work another 20hrs/wk to cover the workload.
True. The USA, then, are not a real democracy. They are a plutocracy cloaked as a democracy.
The USA isn't any kind of democracy, nor is it even cloaked as one. We're a federal republic. The founding fathers realized that a democracy would be disastrous. Unfortunately, so is a federal republic, or really any gathering of humans.
You already have it. It's called a petition, which can lead to an initiative with sufficient support. The only difference is that it's still done with pen and paper - which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
... the signing of an initiative requires a bank identifier code...
Why don't they just use PayPal. That way you can go ahead and send money to the ministry while you're there. Roll all the vital functions into one button!
It's not Micorsoft's fault; they're a publicly traded company so they can't think about multi-year events. They're prohibited from considering anything that is beyond the next fiscal quarter.
30% of our natural Gas production in the US comes from fracking....
Don't know where you got your numbers, but I've been working in the petroleum industry for more than 30 years. Very nearly 100% of the wells I've been involved with were frac treated - both gas and oil wells. Your 30% might be about right for the amount that comes from horizontal wells that get the massive multi-stage fracs.
This guy understood my vague post (which was my fault for making it vague) I have well documented work,...
The first statement makes me a bit skeptical about the last one. IT people ALWAYS think they are great at sharing knowledge - we aren't. Expect a lot of calls.
Checking and fixing are both routinely done. Checking is known as a Cement Bond Log. It's required in every state where I've worked, and a copy must be sumitted to the state regulatory agency. Fixing is known as a Squeeze Job. The casing is perforated in the interval with the bad cement, and new cement is pumped in under moderate pressure to fill the gaps.

... I didn't think a roof from what appears to be a mostly wooden house would stop a piece of rock hurled at it at enormous speeds.
It's good Norwegian wood. I think some guy made a few dollars singing about it.

...Things that happen all the time aren't new or news and nobody cares to be informed about them ...
Then why is the news always the same stories with different names?
If ((age IS GREATER THAN 25) & (number-of-times-laid IS LESS THAN (age-16)) || number-of-times-laid IS LESS THAN number-of-times-starwars-seen)

Loser = true;

Actually that function has a non-unique solution.
Married=true and Married&Loser=true both satisfy the conditions.
Why are you wanting to inject a deadly caustic substance into people's bloodstreams?! Are you some kind of terrorist?

I don't know about your feet, but mine are usually horizontal.
Sorry to hear that. Maybe a different cologne or something would help.
More importantly, how many of these chips will fit in a Volkswagen Bus?
Are vertical distances somehow different from horizontal distances, or distances in any other orientation?
So, your kids and grandkids mean nothing to you? How...interesting...
They won't if he's hit by an asteroid.
Funny thing about death, it suddenly makes everything unimportant to the dead person.
...- the government is not involved at all here. ...
I'm pretty sure the courts are part of the government.
Petroleum IS plant-sourced; primarily algae.

+1.
You can stop using your phone if you enter a risky environment. You can't stop being drunk.

You can stop, but I never see anybody do it. Just like drunks who don't just pull off the road and sleep it off.

Because every program requires inheritance, least astonishment isn't controlled by the programmer, and everything Google does is good.

I'm glad they discovered that death risk increases with age.
Did you ever wonder how they come up with death rates that are less than 100%?
I thought we learned a long time ago not to use only color, especially red and green, to distinguish between signage.
Where it the hell did you get that idea? Do you even live on the same planet that I do?
