I am about as liberal as they get. And I have been horribly disappointed in the failures of Obama. Great president? No. Clinton was worth something. Obama is just another devious snake.
Its at least 10 years for me. Clinton was slightly above acceptable, Bush Sr was slightly below acceptable. Reagan, Bush Jr and Obama have been horrible. Not old enough to have any first hand opinions of the previous presidents.
It varies with denomination, but many of them are either encouraged or even not allowed to be polite.
They get brownie points for being able to perceive themselves as a repressed minority due to their faith, easiest way to do this is to behave outrageously and get flak for it.
They may be required to convert the heathens on punishment of damnation for failing to spread the word.
etc.
On the other hand, I know a few genuinely nice religious people with a good sense of humor, but they seem to be in the minority.
The alternative to viewing Bush as bumbling idiot is to view him as an utterly evil malevolent genius manipulating everyone and getting away with it. I find that easier to believe for Dick Cheney, than for pot smoking, hookers and blow, c average student (after the standard graft and cheating for his class) that got to a cushy guard assignment from daddy while being groomed for an office he was never qualified for.
Not when the only choice is between overlapping but not quite identical set of corporate interests D and overlapping but not quite identical set of corporate interests R.
Different meanings of the word "foundation". My intent was not as the event, but as in the platform on which modern Christianity is built and corrupted.
Why do I have to deny myself and submit myself to a false authority to be a good person, to supplicate myself before a supposedly loving god to avoid damnation? That is also hypocrisy.
I don't need to believe in magic and superstition. I don't need external validation of my purpose in life. I don't need faith. I don't need to be controlled. I can be good all on my own without fearing damnation, seeking reward in heaven or trying to be reincarnated as a higher being.
No. But it included a lot more than just those few select verses. Modern Christianity encompasses the whole bible plus the last 2 millennium of translations, reinterpretations and outright fabrications.
The violence was known, sanctioned and even encouraged by the church. "spare not the rod", women and children are property, etc.
I apologize for having poor structure. The second sentence should not have been in that paragraph. It is independent of the later sentences. But yes, the foundation (as in its basic structure and nature rather than a point of creation) of modern Christianity has been forged (transformed) in the inquisition. The inquisition went far beyond Spain and the hunt for heretics.
All religion is tainted. The foundation of modern Christianity was forged in the inquisition and before that in the crimes of the Hebrew. No religion can be just when it is founded on oppression, rape, murder, slavery and genocide. I know this because I have lived in a "good christian home" and saw violence and depravity that few can imagine. I know this because I read my bible, every chapter, every verse, every word. Then I studied other religions and found them as filled with vile filth as my own. A good man can not found his morality on so corrupt and decayed a foundation as that.
Fusion produces energy up to iron, but not beyond.
A stars fusion progresses outward from the core in shells, first burning hydrogen, then helium, then ever heavier elements once the pressure at the core gets sufficiently high. Only sufficiently large stars will generate copper by fusion in their normal life cycle.
Judging by the pictured guy, you might not want to sleep with the activists.
Now the animal rights activists, PETA, they generally seem more attractive and concerned with hygiene. Plus I'd feel less bad about lying to get in bed with one of them. On average. I'm sure there are plenty of environmentalists who are doing it just to feel holier than thou, but it seems like -all- the animal rights activists are.
Not all of them do it to be "holier than thou", some are just insane.
what happens to clustered resources? 26.54.25.142 isn't your website. It is one server that may or may not host some or all of the content of your site at any given moment.
That is just an added bonus. Why allow someone to own a physical object when you can license its use to them instead. Every resale of a physical object is the loss of a first hand sale at full price. Personal ownership is a threat to corporate profit. Imagine the chaos if people had the same rights as corporations?
How is open source to blame for the demise of sun? Sun just failed to utilize open source profitably. If they had tried to sell java in every market, it would have never become the standard it is today. Different management could have made a world of difference with profits from support, consultation etc.

Jesus is real. He mows my lawn and comes from Guatemala.
You rang? Just kidding.
I don't see anything to be offended about here. A lot of people on the internet could do with some more politeness on occasion.

that isn't even true. The top 10% do not pay 90% of the income tax.
As of 2008 the top 10% pay 70% of the income tax and earns more than 75% of the income.
Meanwhile they possess 73% of net wealth or 83% of financial wealth and that percentage is increasing (mostly in the top 1%).

The wtf is that they only switched to http login for tunisian users. Everyone else still gets good old fashioned unencrypted http.

Tennis rackets, golf clubs and fishing poles. Most of it it traditional carbon fiber with a fairly small percentage of nanotubes added.
ugh... brain not work today today, must caffeinate. copper will only be produced on collapse of a sufficiently large star.
It works gravely.
So utterly wrong.

you also forgot "interfering with a police investigation", "failure to comply with a lawful order" and "resisting arrest".
