Unless they got some eye witnesses, even cross-referencing databases showing how much you spent, or even (if the data was there) which and how many particular drinks were put on your tab, doesn't mean that you DRANK them all.
I know this is/., but sometimes guys buy drinks for girls. Or even collect cash from friends and put the total bill on their card.
The sad thing is, I think most of the anti-Americanism is from citizens of the U.S.
We have to live next door to all of the reality-show watching morons who wouldn't pick up a book to save their life. Why wouldn't we have a bad impression of most Americans?
We here in America are foolishly nationalistic and want to force everything to be American.
What's the point in exchanging one foreign-supplied source of energy (oil) for another (Brazillian ethanol)? Part of the reason for alternative fuels is to be energy-independent.
What makes driving here much more frustrating than anywhere else in the US as far as I can tell is that Georgia is by far the worst marked state in the US
You've obviously never driven in Oregon.
I've actually seen a sign to turn right to go to a particular town AFTER the turn.
Of course, our kids shouldn't be watching Sesame Street at all. Not for any of the reasons you mentioned: but because the short, disconnected scenes are horrid as far as brain development goes.
Would that HAM operator's equipment be able to endure battlefield situations? Is it tested to do so? Would you bet your life, or the life of someone else, that it's built tough enough. With electronics, there's a reason why the military pays so much more - testing is expensive, but testing is the only way to make sure it'll work when needed.
Considering my college considered it to be a violation of academic honesty to submit the same paper to two different classes, I think referencing a Wikipedia article you wrote (regardless of the merit of that particular article or Wikipedia as a whole) would be frowned upon.
If the opposing force cannot field a fleet to protect the tankers, you can achive the same results with some speed boats.
All the opposing force would need would be some guns on the tankers to fight off speed boats, not a fleet.
You want them to stop and, preferably, capture them. A sub can't do that. You do that at gunpoint. Stop the tanker or else. Subs are rather bad at "or else" tactics. "Or else" and using the element of surprise kinda clash.
I remember reading a while back about how the US has been retrofitting some of their subs to be able to deploy SEAL teams underwater. That's a very good way of using a sub for capturing a tanker. Sneak up on the tanker in the middle of the ocean, drop off the SEAL team, and show up on the tanker bridge and point a gun at the head of the captain "turn this ship over to us or else. Or else and the element of surprise, together at last.
For now, the War Powers Act of 1973, which allows unilateral military action by the President for up to 60 (really 90) days, and indefinite military action with a Congressional use-of-force authorization beyond that, is the law of the land, pretty much without serious dispute.
So, in order for our troops to be somewhere more than 90 days, the Congress has to act. Sure, it may not technically 'declare war,' but it has to do something.
You're forgetting that the Constitution gives Congress the power to provide for the general welfare of the United States. That's where all that stuff falls under.
Except the preamble isn't the part of the Constitution that gives Congress any actual power, it just sits there looking pretty and giving a reason why a Constitution was written.
People can't even merge correctly onto the freeway
Oregonians can't merge, that's 100% true (I'm also an Oregon driver). I don't know how many times I've had to gun it or slam on the breaks so that the person merging doesn't simply ram into me.
While the industry is distracted by the ongoing tussle between Microsoft and OpenOffice.org over document formats, the KDE project is quietly preparing the next generation of its own office suite, KOffice, for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X
Time to start investing in midwestern property - it'll soon be prime beachfront real estate!
I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but where I'm from the midwest is pretty much defined as east of the rockies. The two of you are not talking about the same place.
This is plausible, considering the high illiteracy rate.
The literacy rate in New England around the time of the American Revolution was 90%+
The standard for literacy back then was if one could read their bible and comprehend what it said. Since the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy showed that 14% of 'literate' Americans have below basic literacy, I would say that it's arguable that America at the time of the Revolution (especially New England) was more literate than today.
But perhaps you think that journalists who smuggle guns on airplanes and then reveal the flaws in airport security to the public should be thrown in jail as well.
Yes. Smuggling guns on an airplane is illegal, and those who do it should be prosecuted, journalists or not.

Except that the President can't start a war. The right to declare war is given to Congress alone.
Or, maybe, we can leave those jobs up to the states.

IIRC, there being NO sunspots isn't exactly normal. Fewer is normal.
Obviously, the best government is always a benevolent monarchy.
I accept the nomination for monarch...
He sure acts like it most of the time...
