    The link has existed for ... dare I say since the beginning of human-kind as we know it.

    By the way, your neighbor has a lifestyle, not a religion. The moment that your actions are disassociated from a person through adhering to the demand of a being that does not physically exist, that's when religion fabricates itself.

    You'll learn someday, soon or when it's too late, that science dictates proving something, and not a requirement to disprove something without the item being proven.
    Hint: writings in a book through multiple governmental rewrites is not proof.

    It was actively introduced, instead of passively.

    That's the difference...
    It's still an attractive thing, but requires stopping what you're doing to do that one other thing, by conscious thought.
    With it being right there on the google site banner, it requires no change of action to be introduced to it.
    It's why commercials, billboards, and product placement exists, as well.

    nah, it's just that everyone who says that thinks life ends at 40 lol
    It's all relative I guess, but I've always seen them as women who have reached the point of having their hot husband turn into a lardass, and got a divorce and wants what she had when she was younger.. again...

    So, naturally that'd be starting at 45-50, and never ending.

    Let's not get nutty and start spouting off about how something cannot disappear because so many things are made from it.
    The reason things are made from it is primarily because it's in great abundance.
    If we suddenly awoke tomorrow and petroleum disappeared from the ground, after the sudden earth shattering ground collapses we'd be working on implementing nuclear/solar/wind/ for power, and we'd be implementing another source to make lipstick/plastics/etc. Especially since plastics can be created without petroleum, and it's merely a medium...

    When I was in school (1993), teachers were more watchful in the lunchroom than in a classroom.

    What I wanna know is how the hell a child is supposed to know it's against the rules to eat a jolly rancher?
    It's not exactly the same as having a bag of coke, or a can of beer... that would be obvious because of age and illegality inside and outside of school.

    Besides, I thought the nutritional rules were about what THEY provide to the student... not selling pepsi == good. rules prohibiting pepsi != good. (pepsi used as an example)
    Things have changed so much since I've been in school, wow...
