It's not a news program, it's an opinion/editorial/commentary/entertainment program. If it doesn't serve either the purpose of 1. entertainment or 2. expressing the hosts opinion, why should it be a part of the show? And if this has been a successful model for the show, why should he change it?
Is it the hosts' responsibility if his audience is "non-critical in their thinking"? I certainly don't think so.
The assumption is that if you want the other side of the argument, you're smart enough to research it for yourself. Limbaugh only presents one side of the issue because he feels that the other side already has adequate representation. It's understandable if you don't agree with that position, but it doesn't invalidate it.
If you played Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel, it's very clearly explained why the Sith chose to limit themselves to two at a time. Firstly, because when they're a large organization, they're an easy target for Jedi bounty hunters, whereas when there are only 2, it becomes extremely difficult to find them and track them down. Secondly, Sith teachings are basically that only the strong survive and that the weak deserve to be destroyed and all that crap, which means when you have a bunch of Sith, each of them thinks they are the best, and tries to kill all the other Sith to prove it, which just creates a ton of in-fighting and causes them to destroy themselves.
With just 2 with, the master takes on an apprentice, and the apprentice attempts to simultaneously learn everything the master knows and kill the master. If the apprentice kills the master, clearly he has become the stronger. If he fails, he is punished with death and a new apprentice must be found. The stories also seem to imply that while the master only officially has one apprentice at a time, they usually seem to have a couple potential apprentices or secret apprentices waiting in the wings in case the current one dies or fails to kill the master or whatever. Also sometimes the apprentice seems to think he's already better than the master and starts setting up his apprentice for when he kills his master.
Remember when Vader told Luke to become his apprentice and they'd overthrow the emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son? Yeah, it's like that.
You still can do this, and people still do do it. In fact, due to the twinking market and general inflation, the value of low level boe items has skyrocketed, in addition to the introduction of a lot of high level crafting components and recipes that are easily resold for profit.
In order to maintain as politically neutral a role as possible, Interpol's constitution forbids its involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries, or in any political, military, religious, or racial crimes.
I didn't mean to imply that at all. Perhaps it was poor word choice. I personally do not ascribe that connotation to the word "lack", although after checking a dictionary it's pretty clear that's what it normally implies.
If a being is all knowing, exists outside of time, and has absolute control over all matter, how -- you being limited in knowledge, and physically limited by time and space -- do you propose that you would be able to find any evidence of such a being's meddling? Logically, they could instantaneously cover up any such changes to the fabric of reality. If I were god, why wouldn't I set up a series of physical laws to define my universe such that it worked in an orderly fashion? And being god, if I so chose, what would limit me from breaking those laws and, for example, converting water into wine?
Anyway, I don't specifically believe in god, but I don't specifically disbelieve in god, either, and there's a lot more to religion for most people than simply "god said there was no dinosaurs". It gives them comfort in times of grief, it gives them hope for the future, it gives them faith that other people can be good people. I don't need these things in my life but I can recognize that other people might find god or religion useful. Who am I to take that away from them? As long as they're not bothering me (and it's usually the vocal minority that intrude on others' lives, like almost all things in life) I don't see any need to bother them.
The Torah is not the Bible. The Torah was included in the assemblage of the Bible to hearken back to Catholicism's roots in Judaism and (most likely) to give more credibility to the religion in the eyes of Jews that they hoped to convert to their side.
While the Bible includes texts that are older than the Bible, the Bible itself is younger than Christianity.

I guess he "suddenly left" for the seventh grade. I'm sensing a pattern.
What does that have to do with cooking?
Isn't he the guy with the cooking show?
Admit it. You were going to buy the book either way.
Firefox crashes on me all the time. Something about wowarmory.com not liking cached data or some crap.
I assume you're posting anonymously because the user name CaptainObvious was already taken.

So I take it you've never played HL2 or TF2 or anything else using the HL2 engine?

The answer is: "Ad Revenue."

You posted, didn't you?

Hey, I would have modded you troll, too. I mean c'mon, it's funny.
Wait I got this one.... modus tollens?
[30+] is letting 25 year olds in now? Shit, that makes me feel old.

Wha? Who still gives a shit about their karma? That's so 2001.
It's not possible to have negative money, and it's stored on the server not the client, so that'd have to be some fancy hacking.

I guess it depends on if you want to focus on "politically sensitive" or "terrorism".
We could say "The War on the Use of Violent Terrorism" but it doesn't sound as cool and is a pain to type.
Maybe that's why.
What, you don't store and listen to your music in a clean room?
