The supreme court has continually ruled that the press enjoys no more protections, constitutionally, than the average citizen.
This is because the average citizen has the right to BE the press- any schmuck can start printing up their opinion and distributing it, and that is constitutionally protected.
A group of us were at my friend's house watching TV as he used his computer. We kept hearing a BEEP BEEP coming from his computer, and finally one of us asked what that beeping noise was.
He said that every time the caps lock key was hit, the computer would beep.
Next question: "Why do you keep hitting the caps lock key so much?" Answer: "How else am I going to type capital letters?"
A 9 year old Border Collie with an aggressive tumor in her front leg. This happened two weeks ago. She spent a lot of time playing with other dogs in the park. I'd hate to think that me wanting my dog to have some fun is what killed her. I'd hate to have to wonder and worry about this with my next dog.
Sorry to hear about your dog. As much as it sucks to lose a pet, I'm sure she would have preferred a shorter, fun and happy life to being bored and cooped up inside all day. Besides, there's no indication that it was the playing with other dogs that caused her tumor, so no need to blame yourself for that.
Porn? Welp, I haven't been faced with this decision, so I can only theorize. When I was high school, I knew several girls that ended up pregnant.
Maybe if they spent more time watching porn and less time actually having sex, they wouldn't have gotten pregnant.
Or (I don't know if this was a problem in your school, but it certainly is in some schools) if they got decent sex-ed including the importance of contraception, they wouldn't have gotten pregnant.
15.8 is not "much older" than 14.3 billion years. It's only about 10% older. This is just a tweak. For a long time, astronomers disagreed about the Hubble age by a factor of two or more, and probably some still do.
Lets say you've been six feet tall for your entire adult life. Then you get measured at the doctor's office one year and he tells you you're 6'7".
As a Californian who moved to Idaho, I would agree. Housing in my area has shot up about 50% in the three years since we've moved here and they're still building hundreds of new homes each year catering to the waves of immigrants into the state.... If only they would raise the takes to fund a fence to keep the rest of you out.:)
Wow, you moved there and three years later you're a crank who doesn't want anyone else to move there?
For example why wouldn't a movie about two siblings having an incest relationship and being sexually confused about it make a good story? It could have a lot of drama, a deep plot and some characters who truely care for each other, not just quick fucks and 10 minutes on screen before they die/unless filling time.
There are already some good movies on the topic. The Dreamers immediately comes to mind- it's an amazing film. The House of Yes is another pretty good one.
It's sort of like the people that borrow money to buy a car and then have a pile of cash sitting in their savings account. Sure, rainyday money is nice to have, but if you can afford to borrow for a car then most likely you could borrow the rainyday money instead.
A bank will loan you money for a car, knowing that if you don't pay on the loan, they can take your car away. They're less likely to loan you money when you're broke and just need money to live on.
So? Our President is a smart man. (After all, that's not just any MBA, it's a Harvard MBA, coming after an education from Yale and Philips Academy.) The only problem is that the office of POTUS requires an extremely smart man. So in comparison to the duties required of him, he's an idiot. In comparison to the average job an MBA might have, he's just fine.
Just fine for an average MBA? He still managed to take every business he was in charge of and run it into the ground. Then we put him in charge of America and he runs America into the ground.
Where are lines faster -- the grocery store or the DMV?
I think I see the source of your confusion- you're buying food at the DMV.
I can't think of any other reason why you'd compare lines at the grocery store to lines at the DMV, since they provide two completely different services.
No, there's an easy way of avoiding the moderation groupthink mod-down. If you are about to express an unpopular (but reasoned) opinion, just preface your message with "I bet I get modded down for this, but...". Works every time, because mods feel they must mod the post up to avoid accusations of moderator groupthink.
Except when I'm a mod I usually don't take too kindly to such karma-whoring, and when someone thinks they're going to get modded down... guess what? They're probably right.
You are misunderstanding the term. "National socialism" is not socialism with the adjective "national" added to it, it is one indivisible term. In German it's called "Nationalsozialismus" as opposed to "nationaler Sozialismus".
I agree with the point of your post (that Nazis are no friends to socialism) but one semester of German in college taught me that adjectives and nouns usually are combined to form one word in German.
So "chocolate cookies" would be "Schocoladenplatzen" instead of "Schocoladen platzen." That would go for any set of adjectives and nouns.
(yes, a semester of German and all it got me was the ability to ask for chocolate cookies.)

Most of the hodge-podge traditions thrown in from other religions are things like holidays (e.g. Christmas and Easter) and are completely unimportant theologically.
The hodge-podge traditions like: being born of a virgin? that this birth was visited by magi bearing gifts? having 12 followers? performing miracles? a last supper of wine and bread? dying for the sins of humanity? being buried in a cave? rising after death? coming back to lead in the final battle vs evil?
All of these things are found in pre-Christian religions, especially those following Osiris, Dionysus, and Mithras.

Right, but think of all the cops, prosecutors, social workers, judges, forensic scientists and whoever else would be out of a job.
Nah, it would probably be more like the end of the Cold War- we've got this huge military but no enemy anymore, so we have to invent new ones.
I don't want to know how they'd figure out how to occupy all the cops, prosecutors, etc. in the absence of illegal drugs.

Does anybody still use a cd player anyway?
yeah, me and every single person I know.
But in spite of what that AC said, the girls down there are not hot at all. At least, according to my brother.
I've been to Costa Rica, and your brother is full of crap.
Or else he just wants to keep you away and keep the girls to himself.

There are people of all beliefs, colors and creeds. Yes a lot of southern baptists. I'm not one of them. Who cares what your neighbors believe?
I care when they're put into a position of power and start telling me what I can and can't do.
Otherwise, they're fine.
Let's be honest here, whatever you think of her acting skills, making her invisible is ill-advised.
I can think of a few scenerios involving me, Jessica Alba and an invisibilty device, but none involve making *her* invisible.
We've seen science fiction talk about living in bubble/dome cities, but why would this be bad?
I remember a bubble city in Total Recall... how'd that work out for them?
. In fact, I think every American citizen shouldget his own bridge. The world needs more bridges
Politicians always say they're interested in "building bridges."
I think the problem is that most of us assumed they were being figurative.

Dude, calm down. Artificial means that it was made by humans and not by nature.
And if anyone says "humans are part of nature" the line for punching them in the face starts behind me.
That makes we wonder, will Duke Nukem Forever run DirectX 10?
It will once they completely scrap it all, and start over from scratch to make it run DirectX 10!

Big surprise there.
then why can't they travel to another school in Chicago? Surely there'd be some school in Chicago that won't get a child beaten up.
I think you're underestimating what shitholes most American cities are.
Explosives, you say... you mean like jet fuel?
Jet fuel actually isn't very explosive.
Only the President can issue the alert and the current President didn't on 9/11 or any other time since.
I'm sure if "My Pet Goat" wasn't such a gripping tale, he could have torn himself away from the book and actually, you know.. done his job.
