The people that point at Christianity, and say "They've done worse!" are either $cientology shills, or $cientology operatives. Nobody gives a flying fuck what happened hundreds of years ago, this is now, and dragging up past idiocy in an attempt to hand wave current idiocy is disingenuous at best, fraudulent at worst.
The Abrahamic religions at least have the defense that they didn't know any better back then, then glossing over the utterly absurd foundations of their religion with some fluff about moral lessons.
So what you're saying is that you don't actually know any fundie Christians, right?
If I were part of a mob that managed to break the law and get away with it simply because the mob was big enough to overwhelm the resources of a small town, I'd be pretty embarrassed at getting away with such a thing.
So all the motorists driving in your area stay at or below the speed limit because if they exceed it they know they'll be pulled over right away? Golly gee, Mister, that sounds swell!

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Smartypants, and take a couple of months to clone Yelp and find out. Better yet, take four months and make a site that is twice as good! If it's so easy, then do it. Half a billion dollars for four months of work! What are you waiting for?
Additionally, what kind of idiot do you have to be to allow your stepfather to use a dildo on you to see if your eggs are healthy...
A child who trusted that her stepfather was looking after her best interests and didn't know he was just a perv. Kids aren't idiots for having bad parents. Perhaps if you had had good parents you wouldn't have grown up to be such a dick...though that's a big "if".
Taking the fruits of your neighbors labor to supply for yourself would be called stealing if it was done directly and without the government as a middle man.
I don't see room for discussion because you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. On the one side you state something is not an opinion, it's the law. On the other side you claim you are stating an opinion. Good luck with that "discussion of ideas" that you are having with yourself, since you can take both sides of an discussion so easily (and conveniently).
I'm stating an opinion, and discussing it with my peers.
No, you didn't. You stated as fact, "Taxing one person to provide for someone else is theft, pure and simple." I'm not seeing a lot of room for discussion there.
I think the real problem here is that the software is rendering text way too small. Tons of websites out there insist on ridiculously tiny font sizes like 8 point.
Safari (in OS X, at least) has a preference in the Advanced tab that sets a lower limit on font sizes, regardless of what the website specifies. I have mine set to 10 and things are just fine.

Movies are for the masses. Films are watched by poseurs. We watch cinéma.

I used to get a double dose of D all the time but that was when I was a newlywed. Twenty years later, now I hardly get any DD.
Yeah, don't listen to those people. Listen to the guy who tells you it's better to take a pill than to just get some sunlight. *rolls eyes*
I'd listen the to neurobiologist. The cardiologist seems kinda nutty.

If you're in a paceline.
Your analogy is flawed.
-1 Whoosh!
It's a little distasteful to insult the dead...am I the only one who feels this way?
Yes. Yes you are.
Next!
Basically what they are saying is that the person was so stupid that they did not deserve to survive or reproduce.
Yes. Yes they are.
Next!
Sure, that guy who jumped over the barrier to relieve himself should have been more careful. But does that mean we need to celebrate his death?
Yes. Yes it does.
Next!

Too bad it blows.
Or, what am I missing?

It was pretty cool until Lemmy moved to Hollywood.

...why the hell didn't our different RADAR systems catch it at any point?
What makes you think they didn't?
This is why the Tenure system was instituted. To prevent dismissals due to political or idealogical reasons.
Yeah because that never happens in the private sector, right?
You're welcome, bitches.

By "several" I think you mean "twenty" and by "Northern California" I think you mean "Malibu".
