My answer to the grammer nazi's (I suck at Grammer so I nitpick Math) multiplying anything by any number of zero's is.... wait for it.... still zero So if I multiply elephant by 000,000,000.00 I still have nothing Thank you.
I go away now
Please, the CEO is so crooked that when he got wind of the class action suit he would sell short his stock and make money that way too. no matter what this guy makes millions. I want to be a CEO
Less lethal is a good thing and not from a peace-nic humanitarian view point. A dead soldier elemenates one soldier and needs no assistance. This can cause his compatriots to fight harder. While a wounded solier needs assistance of two or more soldiers and his screams of agony will dihearten his allies. Thus: dead lose one soldier wounded lose three or more
Clearly wounding your enemies is more effective than killing
Yes the swab hurt, but it was my impression that every time they came for my blood the took a bunch from that vein right on the inside of my elbow and caused me problems for the rest of the week when I had to do push ups
The military DNA samples are not in the nice convieniant form of blood samples, they are taken from mouth swabs.
I remember when they started building the database and they made the anouncment that they were coming for our DNA, and we thought oh no another pinprick, and instead got our mouths swabed
Or if you live on the central coast in california, where around 30 miles north of Morro bay(not on most maps) you will find a herd of zebras. My understanding is they belonged to William Hurstes' private zoo untill they escaped and started living well in our relitivly lion free enviroment
They are Html comment tags and as you just discovered they do not show up in the browser, however in this case they still have a function. thy function to bypass filters . for example I have my filter set so that any email that has any of the following words goes into a folder (because nobody I know uses these words). Consolodate, payment, beastiality, subscribe, opt and about a dozen other words. by placing the coment tags in there the word consolodate no longer triggers the filter. its clever and it works on old filters, but now I have it set so that html comments (or any html period) goes into my probible spam folder I hope this hepls
The anti american sentiment is stong with this argument. old muntions and war of any sort are dangerous and damaging to the enviroment. there are islands in the south pacific we pumped so much steel jacketed artilary and bombs into that to this day compases don't work there. Lead shot from shotguns kills the ducks that eat it. copper jacketed bullets lodged in trees sometimes kill said tree, cause enviromental harm. oil from destroyed vehicles leaks out and drains into the ground water. damaged sewage systems overflow into rivers and stream causing new outbreaks of cholera. And the USA uses depleted uranium rounds that cut through tank armour like a hot knife through butter. The after effects may be toxic but ending a war quicker limits the other nasty after effects of war on the enviroment and the civilian population. War is hell and should only be used as a last resort, but once we go in we need to go in hard and fast. and the wars we do fight need to be terrible enough to make everyone stop and think before we let it come to war again.
certain of the vices as they are often called, have an associated rise in crime in areas where these activities take place. Take alchol for instance in many towns bar districts we have an increase in other sorts of crime associated with alchol, such as fighting, indecent exposure, vandalism, DUI, etc... other of the vice most likly would have similar negitive effects on the community, However I feel that these side effect crimes are less dangerous than the criminals that are created by prohibition of thes activities
Prohibition of things like drugs or sexual activities (paid or unpaid) is a technique for creating victimless crimes, or crimes where the only victim is the person who comits the act. Arguments can be made that there are secondary bad effects from many of these activities (such as a corrisponding rise in real crime or a drop in productivity). People will contiue to commit these acts because by and large they see no harm in it, and feel that the risk of being caught and punished is small.
or if you ban it and no one gets hurt all you do is create a black market for it.

Imagine your a cop ona rainy day, walking down a alley complete with dumpsters full of spoiling food. some one shoots at you and you dive for cover behind a dumpster. where is your gun? still in your holster that is now in that nasty puddle of mud along with your leg and other equipment. another fun place to be is cold where you need to wear gloves for extended periods of time to avoid frostbite, do you force the officer to stop and remove his gloves before he can return fire? In my opinion fewer moving parts and simpler design is the way to go
on the other hand, many of these projects end up being built a day or two before the competion out of whatever can be found due to the massive amounts of theory and its massive homework load, that second year engineering students must take

but only as legacy from being military vehicles, 24 volt systems ae needed to crank some of the old and new massive diesil engines in the transport trucks ect. the hummer has the 24 volt system so that it can jump start(or in military terms slave start)a tractor trailor. since some military trucks spend a lot of time sitting and not driving this happens more than you might wish to think

Say this to yourself untill it sinks in NOTHING IS ILLEGAL UNTILL YOU ARE CAUGHT if what the company wants is cheap abusable labor, they hire young folks who don't know any better, if they get called on this practice they point out some small flaw in the people who they did not hire or say they did not interview well.

The problem with this is that sometimes the spammer will say the same thing. like "no I didn't send you the email about my amzing penis enlarging pills, but if you want to by them click here". It is just another level spammers will shrink to. Some of these guys think that saying this will protect them from the lawsuits they so richly deserve.
