I don't understand your hostility. Like I stated in a previous post, I have had my license for 18 years. I haven't had a ticket nor caused an accident.
If you have an issue with your own locality, then I suggest you contact your own elected officials. Attend a city council meeting and let them know how you feel. OR you can follow the laws that your democratically elected officials set up and not get ticketed. Or move.
As for me, I just wish that the police would be more consistent in enforcing speed limits. If the speed limit is 40, then it should be 40, not 55 unless the policemen feels differently that day.

Actually I find the speed limits in my locality to be very reasonable. They are fast where they need to be and slow where they need to be.
If you have an issue with the speed limits in your town, please contact your local elected officials. Have you ever been to a city council meeting?

I have had my license for 18 years. I have not had a single speeding ticket nor have I caused an accident. I was rear ended once because the light had turned yellow, and the guy who hit me told me that he hadn't been paying attention. Sometimes I do drive over the speed limit. I would rather be ticketed than die. If every on the interstate is going 70 and the posted limit is 55, driving 70 is dangerous.
Also, I have never driven while under the influence of alcohol (very easy because I don't drink). I don't do jack rabbit starts at intersections because it wears less on your car.

You don't think Spitzer has his eye on 2012 or 2016? It seems like that was all he was trying to do as AG was take on the sort of cases that would boost his national profile. Heck, I lived in the Mountain and Central Time Zones, am a hard core Republican, I can only name about 10 govenors on a good day and he was the only state AG that I knew.
Now I'm not saying that he shouldn't have pursued those cases, it is just easy to tell who the publicity hounds are. You know, the ones who try to get their names out there nationally. I'm pretty sure he is aiming for the presidency also, but just in 5 to ten years..
No, you are an ignorant fool. You use words like "Utard", "crazy", "cult", "gestapo", "lying", and "brain washed" to perjorative effect when you DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Did you step foot on BYU campus? Did you speak to a current BYU student? Did you go to Temple Square? If you didn't, then don't correct someone who knows what they are talking about!
Tuition at BYU is highly subsidized by LDS Church funds. Those funds donated sometimes by very poor people should not be wasted on something as unrelated to education as Youtube, porn, and file sharing. If this "offends" you, too bad. BYU students don't have to live on-campus, and can access Youtube all they want if they pay for it out of their own dime.
Same thing goes for MTV. It is not shown on campus. You didn't read the article that you posted. It is 22 years old! The article clearly states that this was a limited action taken by a few over-zealous local leaders. BYU policy (from your article) states 'Paul Richards, director of public relations at BYU, issued this statement; "BYU was not involved in the decision of some local apartment owners and managers to pull MTV from their complexes."'
I was a student at BYU, and I watched MTV at a couple of different off-campus apartments, about 10 years ago.
I will requote what our prophet Spencer W. Kimball said, "I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He was crucified for the sins of the world. He is my friend, my Savior, my Lord, and my God." I thought that would be enough to clarify our position, apparently it is not.
Mormons believe that the man called Jesus in the New Testament was also known as Jehovah in the Old Testament. Therefore He was, He is, and He will ever be a God. Jesus as Jehovah spoke with Moses. He made covenants with Abraham. Through Him the world was organized. He is one of three beings that make up what Mormons call the Godhead. This roughly translates to "the Holy Trinity" as Catholics would call these beings. The difference is that we believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct beings, although they are unified in purpose. I don't understand what you mean by "code-speak". I guess you can interpret the Bible however you wish, but when the Father says in Matthew, "This is my beloved Son" I take Him at His word that He is introducing His Son. In Gethsemane, when Jesus was praying, to me it sounds like He is talking to someone else, and is willing to do what that other being wants, and not what Jesus himself prefers.
I mention Gethsemane because, (unlike your insinuation) Mormons believe that Christ (by virtue of the fact that he is not only perfect, but a God) willing offered Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. This doctrine is repeated time and time and time again because it is central to our beliefs. If you want I can bury you with relevant quotes from LDS sources but this quote, http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/34/8-17#8 (read the text in yellow) explains well how and why Christ could atone or redeem us. Note, that this text is in the Book of Mormon, and Mormons believe it was written before Christ was born.
Which brings us to your very puzzling equations about Mormons believing the same thing about Christ that Muslims do. Let me be very blunt. Mormons believe Jesus is a God, Muslims do not. Mormons believe Jesus atoned/redeemed/sacrificed for our sins, Muslims do not. Therefore, according to your definition, (unless you move the goalposts) Mormons are Christians, Muslims are not. Also, no matter your grandstanding about beating dead horses and calling untruths "facts", your original statements are very wrong.
Please note that I don't feel bound at all by the Nicean creed. If you do, well that is great for you, but don't extend the creed to everyone else saying if you don't believe in my interpretation of the Nicean creed then you aren't Christian. Because then all you are saying is you aren't my type of Christian.
I believe in Christ. I also believe Christ. I believe Him when He says to follow Him, and that my sins will be forgiven, and that He will heal my "pains and infirmities". No dead person can do that, only a living God can. A God who came to earth to experience earth-life first hand. Yes, it is insulting to call a Christian a non-Christian with a whim of a definition.
Again do not dictate to someone what they believe. It is patronizing, and is particulary insulting when you are incorrect. And you are incorrect in your statements. I will take it on good faith that you were ill-informed by someone else who was probably just as ill-informed. But now you know what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints really believes. I don't mind answering questions about Christ, His Father, or Mormon beliefs or history. You don't have to believe what I believe, just don't make stuff up. I will tell you though that if you continue to spread the falsehood that Mormons don't believe Jesus is a God or that He paid the price of our sins, then you will be lying.
First, please don't tell us what we believe or don't believe. I am an active Mormon, and I hold a position of responsiblity in the LDS church. (If you want to know, First Counselor of the Elder's Quorum Presidency in my ward). I quote from today's lesson, "Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball" pg 25 and 26,
"I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He was crucified for the sins of the world. He is my friend, my Savior, my Lord, and my God."
"We look forward now to his second coming as he promised. . ..In the meantime, we praise his holy name and serve him, and bear testimony of the divinity of his mission, . . . I know that Jesus, through eternities past and future, is the Creator, the Redeemer, the Savior, the Son of God."
Spencer W. Kimball is the considered by Mormons to have been a prophet of God, and I'll bet that 99% of Mormons would agree with Kimball's statements above. I don't mind that people may have a difference of opinions on our founding stories. But don't you dare tell me what I or do not believe.
I am not Muslim, but I do think that they don't believe Jesus is the Son of God. They don't believe Jesus was sacrificied for the sins of the world. Mormons do. That is a HUGE difference between Mormons and Muslims.

(Disclaimer: I am a BYU alum, but not a "board writer".)
I was being facetious. I have no idea how much it would have cost to replace the tiles, but it certainly would not have cost as much as demolishing one facility and then building two new state-of-the-art facilities (I guess by an order of three magnitudes).
Look, I have nothing against sports, or sports fans. If they want to go cheer whomever they want, that is fine. Just pay for the building yourself, don't use my tax dollars. Case in point - my hometown Seattle. Apparently nobody liked it because it wasn't new enough or old enough. (the problem with the ceiling tiles was fixable for less than a half billion dollars) So, they tore down the Kingdome to make room for two half-billion dollar buildings. (I heard that there was still three years left on the bonds for the Kingdome - the county hadn't finished paying the mortgage!)
One of those buildings is perhaps used 14 days out of the year. In it, the second richest man in the world pays 50 odd men multiple million dollars a year a piece to play a child's game. As a tax payer and potential fan, I have to pay a lot of money to see the inside of a resource that I pay for.
I don't buy the "increased tax revenue" bit- people would spend their money in other ways. It isn't like I can tell my friends, "hey let's go down to the stadium and play football on the grass". This is a pure taxpayer takeaway, and it sickens me how city after city falls for it. If they want to conduct a business, they should have to pay for the facility just like any other business.
You know, as I read this article, I had that same thought. I always thought that the next most logical place for us to "mine" for raw materials would be landfills. Lots of metals and carbon. They said that they would use the "slag" for building roads. I would think that that would be the place that you would look for materials to build the cars.
I don't know. I guess if they are just burning off the carbon, then they are taking the plastic that used to be petroleum and burning it. I didn't know you could do that sludge though.
I turned in a rough draft of a final paper for a class and it came back with a 30% chance that the paper was authentic. I thought, "oh no, what if my professor uses this tool and thinks that I did something bad". Then I remembered I had the text from my great, great, great grandfather's obituary written in the late 1800's, and it came back with a score of 26%. I don't think that the tool is very acurate for non-technical papers.
As an active Mormon who went to BYU but did not grow up there I feel that I should inform you about what goes on there. I am not aware of any "Mormon schools which don't pay taxes but do get public funding." The Mormon church does not like to take government money because there are usually strings attached. We firmly (notwithstanding Buttars) believe in a separation of church and state. After all, I don't want a public school teacher in another state tell my child how to pray.
The LDS church has two schools in Utah, Brigham Young University and LDS Business College (junior college). They taught evolution in the Biology class I took at BYU. The official stance of the church (boiled down) is this. God created the earth, and He created man in His image. He didn't tell us much about the mechanics of it all, probably because Mormons believe that once you know something, you are responsible for that knowledge. Besides, we also believe God put us here to learn how to be nice to each other, and that that is a much more important lesson.
Also I'm not sure what you mean by a "metaphysical spirit". Mormons believe that both God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and bone.
Science comes, science goes. Our understanding is not perfect, but I don't think we should stop scientific progress just because we may not like the direction it is taking. Jesus said "render unto Cesar what is Cesar's and render unto God what is God's."
I used to work as an intern at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. They had some sort of big meeting and outside the conference hall they had different displays from different countries. The most bizarre thing I saw was a video of some guy in the Philippines driving around a forklift with barrels filled with cement and with a yellow "nuclear" sign attached. Oh, and they had Kenny G. saxophone music playing in the background. That was one of the most random things I had ever seen.
Did you have Parsec with the speech synthesizer? I thought I was in hi tech heaven when the computer said "Good shot pilot". I also remember that game "blasto" with the tanks. I wonder if that is on an emulator anywhere.
I also remember trying to program and store my programs on that silly tape that never worked. I really don't miss doing that.
Not quite. Most of the time Super Bowls are played in warmer climates. I couldn't find a list, but most of the games have been played in California, Louisiana and Florida. Hosting a Super Bowl is very popular with cities because of all the tourism. The people who decide where the bowl also usually go to the game itself. Who wants to go to Detroit in the winter? I think the Super Bowl has been played in Detroit twice and Minnesota once. New Orleans was very popular as is Miami for sites.
What you were probably watching was the 1967 Green Bay Packers/Dallas Cowboys NFC Championship game known as the "Ice Bowl" played on the "Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field". That was not the Super Bowl.
I once heard a story about someone who claimed that they were being listened to. This person says that he heard an odd "clicking" and other bizzare noises when he was talking on his home land line. When he complained to the phone company, the repairman said his phone was wired really weird. He claimed that it was wired through to the company he used to work for. This was in the mid-nineties. I don't really trust the word of this person, but I would like to know if this has any validity.
Now, thanks to the wonder of Slashdot, I can ask multiple people who may know something about this. 1) Is this story believable? 2) Do you hear "clicks" if your phone line is being tapped? 3) Can any private organization arrange to have another wire leading from another phone?
