America was formed on Christian principles, not Buddhist principles. It is a Christian country and it is defined and based on those assumptions.
Care to know who disagrees with you?
From Article 11, Treaty of Peace and Friendship between The United States and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary, unanamously approved by the U.S. Senate June 7, 1797: As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen [Muslims]; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
In his book Religion, State, and the Burger Court, Leo Pfeffer writes about (and quotes) Jefferson:... Jefferson, who as a careful historian had made a study of the origin of the maxim [that the common law is inextricably linked with Christianity], challenged such an assertion. He noted that "the common law existed while the Anglo-Saxons were yet pagans, at a time when they had never yet heard the name of Christ pronounced or that such a character existed.... What a conspiracy this, between Church and State."
Separation of church and state was taken seriously by our founding fathers. Gordon S, Wood in The Creation of the American Republic, 1776-1787 writes, "Many of the states [in the period between the Revolution and the adoption of the U. S. Constitution], in order to obviate any suggestion of a religious establishment, prohibited all clergymen from sitting in the legislation." He cites the state constitutions of Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, New York, South Carolina, and New Hampshire. ===

I dont personally know of any UNSENET servers that have more than 10 days worth of posts. Some of the groups (like alt.binaries.*) will only have 1-3 days retention.
You need a better news server. You're never gonna get a huge collection of whacking material from a news server like that. From Supernews:
alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica has 190466 articles, and 23.6 days of retention.
And non-pr0n:
comp.os.linux.misc has 34277 articles, and 281.5 days of retention.
This hasn't always been the case for Supernews; they recently upgraded storage. You can check retention for any group at Supernews.
The conservatives who created the constitution might beg to differ. And they (gasp) believed in GOD! So to your way of thinking our freedom, and the constitution you pretend to love, is the result of a toddling fascist theocracy? That damned fascist George Washington!

For the last six years I have been living two miles from Quebec and one thing I notice is that from the french people's POV, no matter what country you are from, either your "one of us" (French) or "one of them" (non-French).
For the last 51 years I have been living in the USA and one thing I notice is that from the American people's POV, no matter what country you are from, either your "one of us" (American) or "one of them" (non-American).
For about 3 months I made calls for my University trying to get donations to different projects (Yes I was paid). And it was just a job, a crappy one, but I needed the money to help me get through school.
You couldn't pass the test on how to make change at McDonald's, could you?
Did you stop to think that every once in a while telemarketers and mail soliticters actually offer a good deal on a product or service.
And there's a chance Charlize Theron will call me on the phone, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. There's a chance that a Top 40 radio station will play a good song, but I'm not going to wade through the dreck to find out.
As far as the elderly population goes, I think that they simply have the tendancy to listen more often to a caller
I moved in with my elderly parents (both in their 80s) to help them out. Before I moved in, my father would fall for any snail mail or phone scam that came his way. Many elderly people are very trusting, too trusting. Many lose the ability to reason clearly. Telemarketers call the elderly more often for one reason...so that they can take advantage of them. If you believe that the elderly "listen more often", you're either ignorant, delusional, or you really don't care that you're taking advantage of the defenseless.
Humor me for a second, and actually pretend to be interested in what a telemarketer has to say next time one calls"
Then if you call me, give me your home phone number. I have a lot of things to sell that you might be interested in. If I can't call you, how will you ever know about the great deals I have to offer. My demographic studies tell me you're just the kind of mark^H^H^H^Hperson that needs what I have to sell. If you don't give me your number you're a hypocrite and a fool to miss the deals I have for you.
SCO is claiming they have found weapons of mass destruction in the linux kernel code. The UN will be assembling an inspection team shortly.
No that won't happen. IBM will defy the UN and attack SCO to liberate them. Then IBM will issue punch cards with the social security numbers of the most wanted SCO empolyees.
I almost can't believe this. Read the mother of all demos link - demo'd mouse, word processing, hyperlinks, and a host of other stuff back in 1968! Is this for real? How come I've never heard of anything like this before?
A typical Computer Science curriculum has no history of computing component, but this history is taught in computer literacy classes. I hated teaching those classes, but they introduced me to people such as Englebart and Zuse.

You're new to this, aren't you? And it's not pr0n, it's wrist exercising material.
How hard would it be to have software process the film, look for large swaths of colours approximately matching the splotches, and remove them?
And replace them with what?
Searching for candles motorcycle returns no matches, however, searching for candles motorcycles returns about 51,900.
When I worked in cubicle hell, I got complaints about my music being too loud even when I was wearing headphones.
If you've never worked in a cube farm before, my advice is...get a job cleaning up the burned out remains of Initech.

Dear Mr. Alien,
You haven't been around humans before, have you?
Guy in my freshman dorm tried this. He simply applied his deodorant to the outside of his shirt, rather than his skin.
What an idiot! Everybody knows you put the deoderant on the inside of the shirt. That way it doesn't show.

For a couple of looks at benchmarking, read these two articles:

Its supposed to make money, not innovate all over again.
Do you mean innovate in the dictionary sense, or innovate in the Microsoft sense?

And Excel wasn't Microsoft's first spreadsheet. First there was Multiplan. There was even a Commodore 64 version of Multiplan. Jeez, was it slow.
