Because none of us have any idea how any of this crap can later be used against us. No different than why you won't let your 9 year-old daughter have free reign on what she posts on facebook - she's too stupid to know what risks she's taking, and we're too stupid to know what risks will emerge from the aggregation of all our details.
Untrue. Many times, God itself has utterly obliterated thousands of non-believers, en-masse - with pillars of fire, turning them to salt, whatever - clearly for some period of time, those people had empirical proof, as did those who witnessed the occasions.
Moses had no faith, and was not a believer. Period.
It began as a free market. Such cartels are but one natural progression OF a free market. It's almost as if the "cartel" aspect of this example was planned, or something.
The fact that a free market is unstable? Small caveat... but also the point:)

Cocaine.
Obviously, true "free markets" don't actually work that well... a larger percentage of profit is gained by leaving someone else "holding the bag", and the retirement plans tend to suck.
The safer the cars get, the more dangerous it is for firefighters to get you out of them. For example, it's wonderful that the passengers are now fully surrounded by airbags - for the past few years, the major injuries in our district have tended to be from glass spray from windshields, etc. The downside is that the cars are still mangled from taking a hit, and require cutting apart to free the occupants. There's no rhyme or reason as to where they put the explosives for those airbags, or the wires feeding them, or the controllers - and obviously, cranking an O-cutter through any one of those items is likely to kill you, or seriously injure the patient, or the EMT inside the car. Also as the car's structure becomes even more dependent on math, instead of mass... the number of viable cutting / spreading points is reduced as well. On the good side, the lack of injury means we normally have more time to manually disassemble things, as opposed to when someone is bleeding out, etc. Personally I don't care to hit another seatbelt pre-tensioner again for the rest of my life.
And then there's hybrids, which love to be cut apart in random places. Happiness is a dead short, eh?:)

Wuh? I run two mice and keyboards on this machine just fine - one set wired as backup, the other set wireless/recharge. Both work simultaneously, just fine.
Perhaps you mean that you don't ordinarily get distinct cursors/pointers with each?

Hey, this would all go away if Beck would simply deny that he raped that young girl.

Thank God that Sony/BMG isn't an advertiser.

No.
Please re-read the simple steps that define "The Scientific Method".
You also seem to confuse "prove a negative" with "disprove a negative".
So pretty much, God Sucks?
Yes, that's what we need! More shame!
Fuck consequences, retribution, and actual accountability, we need shame!
It's called Malpractice.
*Whoosh* - right over your head.

Actually, fun fact:

Actually, anything that exposes what the WaPost has missed or completely mischaracterized is a clear and present danger...
Lol, it did on my friend's old Yugo... :)
But... Chia-cgo is so much greener! Well, if you remember to refill the buildings with water, at least.
No, it's... in space! With no gravity, so it weighs less! Yeah!
That, and they were probably holding the tape measure wrong.
No... they're posting it wrong.
uh, dshield.org much?

Uh... hate to break it to you, slick, but just like soccer... macs have always been gay.

Although, the thing that pisses off Texans the most... ...cutting Alaska in half would make Texas the 3rd largest state.
Nothing.
Well, nothing until some Chinese ISP screws up a BGP setting for a netblock they have nothing to do with.
Still can. In no way does his snapping invalidate the civil claim; in fact, I'd suggest it only validates it, more.
