Whoosh, perhaps? I thought that he was joking. I, obviously, could be wrong. If something is ludicrous, then it might be a failed attempt at humour, and a web search won't confirm it.
For your list, they should be allowed to choose more than 1 of the above. With a radio-button style list, they might choose a non-violent answer only because that would be their ideal answer, even though they are prone to violence.
You would require somebody to not fight back after a physical attack? I call that being passive. I would rather see somebody fight back and attack the actors. After all, they have a right and responsibility to defend civilized society from violence. Nobody criticized the Lone Ranger for shooting to wound. The reason for that is he was minimizing violence [i.e. avoiding shooting to kill], and still trying to work within the law.
So, by my definition, you should be shipped off to the Islamland, while we enjoy peace and freedom; that is, without the opportunity to take your own test.
My comment wasn't about imports vs. domestic products. I was just saying that dollar value doesn't tell us where the largest number of items or volume of product came from. I am trying to emphasize that the question and answer in discussion are more complex than some believe.
I don't need data to do it. I wasn't hypothesizing or guessing. I was just laying out the scope of the challenge.
I wasn't saying or implying that everything was made in China. Even in my illustrative scenario, luxury cars were made in other places.
It also depends on where the option is coming from. Just by asking somebody if wants to opt in, you are already advertising, so you might as well cut to the chase, and then let him opt out.
Also, dollar value doesn't convey the number of items that are imported. Imagine buying $.01 widgets from China, and $1,000,000,000 luxury cars from all other places. I can imagine that less objects would come from all other places.
Yeah, I can't believe that anybody is bothering to defend Apache. They deserve no support in this. Either way, some users will be too lazy to switch. Therefore, the default setting should be in the best interests, and/or preferences of the user.
That page's instructions didn't work for me, because I'm using Kubuntu, and that is for Ubuntu. I decided to search around a bit, since there might be more documentation written after I last looked. It turns out that there is some. Lucid Lynx 10.04 and Maverick Meerkat 10.10 which is for Ubuntu, but it works for me.
Now I just need to get something to record via the internal microphone.
Also, a very subtle aspect is the fact that he had an audience. An emotional and eloquent speaker has a story to tell.
Most people live the lives as meaningless statistics. A meaningless statistic dead in a low rent apartment has his story written for him.
Also, people who say such things and then insist on a revolutionary war in this day and age are labelled extremists. Anybody who insists on continuing with unemployment [i.e. liberty] vs employment [i.e. death?!? really??] is just nuts.
Also, if we're talking about a 400 pound woman, vs 100 pound woman, then we're talking about 300 surplus pounds. The extra fuel to fly that around would cost a lot, I think. It wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it is extra. Multiply that by another 4 women, then multiply that by the length of the trip, and the many other trips. I could imagine this costing hundreds [if not thousands] of dollars over the life of the careers.
Having communists in your camp is a very significant aspect of atheism. No other community has used communism to kill so many people. Other communities used other tools, but not communism, and not atheism. Atheists using communism to kill millions of weak and innocent people is something tho hide, while you talk about the Inquition and crusades.
I'm asking for another example. It doesn't appear that way to you, but it is. If you can't provide anymore examples, then never mind.
White describes the car, not the other way around. True. However, just picking a colour and an object don't make a great illustration. An object has weight. Colour doesn't. Beliefs have a lot of overlap, and as such they can be divided in different ways. You say that there are different kinds of communism. There are also different kinds of atheism. In other words, atheism is applied to many different areas.
You will probably argue that atheism is unrelated to communism, and that it is uncommon for atheists to do anything foolish. Atheism is very much needed by communism on such a wide scale, because religions don't answer to government.
Yes, I have. She is an atheist, and unless there is a little known fact about her that I also don't know, she definitively is not communist.
However, that does not cause problems, because when I speak of various atheists, including communists, I am well aware of the other types out there. I'm not trying to prove that you are a communist. I'm trying to insist to other people that you have communists in your camp.
Atheists love to talk about how altruistic and honest they are, and it is a point that is open to criticism.
I still remember how Slashdotters said that scientists love to be proven wrong.
Ah, of course, people from other countries have American ignorance. I've never even heard of it before. Care to show me an example of somebody from another country showing American ignorance? I can imagine the phrase being used once or twice, because of the ways that cultures collide, but never in an authoritative way. Please do show me some quotes of it being used to describe non-Americans.
Perhaps you mean foreigners in America? Even still.
Not surprisingly, Wikipedia has a page on Marxist-Leninist atheism. At the top, it says, that "Marxist-Leninist atheism is a form of atheism within Marxist-Leninist philosophy which holds that the essence of religion is the opium of the people and it should therefore be abolished.". "Communism and atheism" redirects to it. Not surprisingly, there is this choice quote.
The policy that began with Lenin and continued for the course of Soviet history was that religion was to be tolerated, but the state was to do whatever it deemed necessary in order to eliminate it.[32] Lenin did not see the replacement of religion with atheism as an end to itself, but wrote that it needed to be accompanied by a materialist weltanschauung.
I see the word "tolerated" in there, and I understand what they are saying, but I hardly call that tolerance. I call it "picking your battles". According to Wikipedia, either nobody understood why Stalin allowed the opening of churches, or they were revived to support the war effort. As game theory, that's fine and logical, but as an overall perspective on religion, that doesn't count towards tolerance.
Marxism and Leninism ideals were not a huge part of communism before they came, but they really became a part of communism after, even to the point of Christian communists embracing many of those ideals.
I must say that I am surprised by the number of groups within the links that you provided, but I'm hesitant to accept them as the same kind of communism in this discussion. In those examples the largest community, if I recall correctly, was made up of Puritans, and the scale was limited.
None of those communities were nation wide, and they definitely didn't have communism thrust on other community members who were originally there before the communism. That shouldn't be an automatic defining characteristic, but in this case it is. Atheist communism was forcefully thrust on the entire nation, and the boundaries were even expanded. I hardly think of the Soviets as liberators in WW II, even though they are portrayed that way.
So, while your links do show a thing or 2, the link that I provided clearly show that communism as it is commonly portrayed is very much linked to atheism. Therefore, I can legitimately say that Soviet communism is clearly a subset of atheism, just as Fords were a subset of black cars.
Honestly, I don't know what is wrong. I tried to record sound a year or 2 ago, and there still seems to be a complaint or 2 on Slashdot. I tried to search for information and everything. I seem to recall that my was working, but the software just wouldn't record it. Also, I vaguely remember needing to configure it. I'm still using 10.04 or something.
I hate to be so vague. I'm just upset that the community always seems to need to reconfigure sound cards.
That sounds great, but I wonder if they got PulseAudio working. I couldn't imagine finding an ad on a desktop, and then struggling with the sound system. If they could get a system that just worked, or worked better than the competition, then the ad would be fine for me. Ignoring bug reports, and then focusing on this is like a backhand to the face.
Upgrade me once, shame on you. Upgrade me twice, shame on me.
No, it shows that they trust their memories over an updated review.
I have suspected this type of thinking on Slashdot. I find that many people seem to say that they always believed a certain thing, but I am very certain that some views were very uncommon at one time, and then became popular.
I'm an American? There is another conclusion that you jump to. That's what I expect out of a sceptic.
Yes, Communists [in the case of the Soviets] clearly meant atheist. It was a packaged deal. You couldn't subscribe to communism without the atheism. Communists are a subgroup of atheists. Communists "lack" belief, as atheists claim, so to discount them is silly.
There were surely underground Christians who lived the life of communists, but Communists as a whole are atheists.
It's as if you are arguing that French bread isn't a white bread.
Nonsense. Communists [at least those being discussed] are atheists. You can't say that you don't know of any atheists that would do such a thing, and then argue that those atheists don't count. They do count. You just don't like to admit that you have a lot in common with them, and that they have a lot in common with people that you don't like.
You believe that an idea is more important than reality. I gave you a clear example of atheists doing something, you chose to believe that atheists do not do such things.

No, no. I said that we're playing the 90s expansion, which means you get the unfair advantage.
No, no. Just wait for a bit. They are still trying to figure out whose gender is triggering our potential glaucoma.
Yeah, I can't believe that anybody is bothering to defend Apache. They deserve no support in this. Either way, some users will be too lazy to switch. Therefore, the default setting should be in the best interests, and/or preferences of the user.
Actually, I could imagine them downloading our stuff, which is quite sad.
I could also imagine an ugly alien race looking at goatse, and then thinking, "Whoa. They look just like us. I can't wait to slip her the tongue.".

Hitler most likely believed in Odinism. There were way less than 6 million Jews executed.

He probably did, or maybe he tattooed them onto his knuckles, or maybe he's talking about some kind of sign language.
It's hard to visualize without a car analogy.

Would atheists ever elect to something stupid?

I searched for the identities, and it turns out that you're right: they are known or assumed. My bad.
You *really* were just joking?
Anyhow, this website shows that atheists will resort to creating media in a similar style.
