Well, it can. About the only time I was proud of my country was when Schroeder said no to Iraq war. A conservative government would have followed Dubya without even thinking twice about it.
Absolutely! Americans who have only the Republican/Democrat "choice" to contemplate can too easily dismiss the difference made by the party in power. Joschka Fischer and the SPD/Grüne coalition conducted a foreign policy significantly different from that of the CDU.
Did any of you actually look at the photos? I thought not. These are not Library of Congress photographs, and in fact most don't even seem to be of buildings at all.
The President tweeted: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great."
The President then added, "Just don't go looking for your father or I'll blast your ass with a Hellfire from a drone."
Came to this conclusion myself a while back due to how much time I spent in front of a computer compared to my sisters. Definitely has an effect on you.
I think the idea is to spend more time outside rather than in front of your sisters.
I don't get this whole "shilling for cows" thing. Is it just a social experiment to see who responds to you? Is there some deep philosophical or political statement you're making here? I suspect there is a subtext that I'm missing other than that you clearly don't approve of cows either.
And here all this time I've been thinking it was the product of a faulty pattern recognition algorithm.
I set to work and solved the first problem in a couple hours. Each time I submitted a solution, foo.bar tested my code against five hidden test cases."
After solving another five problems the page gave Rossett the option to submit his contact information

I'm old enough to remember when television, Arcade Games, and stickers were the new moral outrages that were grotesquely warping the impressionable minds of America's youth. I also remember when it was supposedly a huge problem that telephones were killing letter writing. Now that more interactive media is killing TV, Ma Bell is dead and people are writing to each other again, you think they'd be happy. But no. Clearly its just always pretty much whatever is new that older folks don't understand.
Can you furnish a link to research which supports your contention that people are writing letters to each other once again? I'm assuming you don't claim that tweets and Facebook posts are the equivalent of letters?
Are you under the impression that in the majority of cases where police tell individuals to stop filming police personnel are concerned about the disruption of shell casings?
The fact that they reached for the nearest beer bottle as a weapon is unsurprising.
We don't know from this article that it was in fact the nearest beer bottle which was reached for - perhaps there had been a previous equally spirited debate on beer and/or beer bottle quality. Given the evident discerning nature of the combatants I would guess the two reached for that beer bottle which, when broken, is the superior weapon.
The difference is vast between standing somewhere and looking through a webcam and it will never become otherwise. It doesn't matter how good your camera is. You seriously are pretending that you know what the ocean is like because you looked at it through a camera? It's not even close to the same thing. What does it smell like? What does the breeze feel like?
Unfortunately immediately after having smelled an alien ocean or after feeling the Martian breeze a human will need replacing, whereas a robot will remain functional. A human standing on another planet will be sensing everything through mechanical mediation. Gazing through a visor may be preferable to viewing via a remote screen, but you are unlikely to ever be feeling that breeze on your cheek.
It sounds like you couldn't afford an education either.
I recently went overseas. There were a fair amount of English speakers but most people in the country could not afford an education. Since they could not afford an education they never learned it [English].
Fixed that for you.
When being pedantic one may also wish to be correct. It would be more correct to use number instead of amount as number is generally used with count nouns while amount is used with mass nouns. The word amount refers here to a single quantity, and the poster's was was in fact correct, while your were was in error.

I love nothing more then proving pedantic fools wrong. :)

What's that smell of smoke in here?
Well, it can. About the only time I was proud of my country was when Schroeder said no to Iraq war. A conservative government would have followed Dubya without even thinking twice about it.

Now we're talking.
I see what you did there.

Why are Americans so useless at writing their own language?
Its intrinsic.

I'm pretty sure that a fourteen year old boy should know it isn't appropriate to send naked pictures of himself to others.
Well then whoever should we be sending naked pictures of ourselves to, if not others?

> That means for every 7750 men, there were 3 women.
Those odds are still far better than the male-to-female ratio of the average Slashdotter's bedroom!
Doesn't that depend on the time of day? When Mom comes down to the basement to dust the ratio is 1:1, right?
" That means for every 7750 men, there were 3 women"
So does that mean there were 2583 men for every woman?
Can someone put this into football fields for me?
I don't follow football. Can you give a car analogy?
Anyone flies a drone over *my* house, I'm taking it out with an M203.
now my name is unusual so I doubt someone picked my email at random.
Because if I take a long list of names and pick one at random the name I pick will be a common one?
Kölsch bitte.
Having this as the accepted reality of state formation in human society speaks volumes of us as species.
I'm new here. Please enlighten me as to the reality of state formation in other species.
As soon as I saw the pictures I assumed that this thread would include the usual cadre of people who could not see past the gender of the principles.
Man, I feel totally lost. I couldn't begin to tell you the gender of the principles, let alone see past it.

I can't even imagine why.

More importantly, what does the fox say?
