If I want to sit around in my home, my restaurant, or my office and criticize whites, blacks, gays, straights, midgets, tall people, or geeks, it is my property and my right. If my customers don't like it, they'll go next door to the guy who ISN'T prejudiced.
You're right, you have the right to say what you wish in the privacy of your own home. Unfortunately, people with those overt attitudes in private, carry them over to the public sphere, where they become covert (passing that dark fellow over for promotion, not inviting that well-dressed, effeminate guy for happy hour after work with the rest of the team, etc.)
You do things that are just as prejudiced, but it's all "undercover" so nobody can prove it, but the effects are just as harmful as if you went around screaming "I hate blacks and gays". Actually more harmful, because you can't be confronted and shut down as easily.
Yeah, the 'heavyweight' division for most races is 200lbs for men, looks like you're above that. Very, very few runners are over 200lbs. Like you said, it just isn't safe for the knees.
On the bright side, if walking 2mph gets your heart rate into a useful cardiovascular zone, then that's all you need to do! Feel pity for us skinny guys who have to pound pavement an hour every day to improve our times.:)
Do it in the morning before work, that's the best time anyway. If you dont have to be in before 9, you've got a couple hours of daylight to run or bike or whatever.
Yes, people can be addicted to the chemicals their bodies release when excited (during gambling, sex/porn, extreme adventure sports, etc). All addictions are chemical when you get down to it. A human is a chemical process, and everything we do is also chemical process.
Wouldn't it be better to go through femto, atto, and zepto first?
Those models were carried in the rectum instead of the inner ear, and never made it to market. The prototypes didn't pass a safety review by an independent group of proctologists, and the marketing people vetoed the product-launch slogan: "Finally, Apple makes mankind's dream of being able to fit 5,000 songs up your asshole a reality."
You interacted with Jordanians and Syrians who were very educated, and Westernized. They spoke English fluently, attended secular university in the West, and were probably members of the upper class in their societies of origin to be able to afford it.
I'd venture to say you didn't get a very accurate picture of the attitudes of the average Jordanian or Syrian (who likely is barely literate in his own language, and has no secondary education or meaningful exposure to a humanist worldview.)
You can import it, but it still won't work in the United States. U.S. GSM carriers are mostly 1900Mhz (and sometimes, 850MHz). The C116 only works on 900 and 1800Mhz networks (most of the rest of the world).
FreeRepublic.com citing some ultra right-wing newsletter called "The RESISTER" adds up to so much slant as to be off the credibility scale. Opinionated statements like "Our federally controlled public schools have done their job", and the use of the meaningless cliché "New World Order" in the title don't give me a lot of confidence in the source.
Also, the source doesn't say who administered the survey. Was it the U.S. government? The U.N.? Someone from DoD? Private Gomer Pyle? That's a rather large unknown.
It's illegal to use the military for domestic law enforcement.
From your source: the Navy is not subject to USC Title 10 Posse Comitatus prohibitions against using federal military forces for domestic law enforcement. This includes the US Marine Corps.
I don't know if that statement is true or false, but I think you need to read things with a more critical eye if you want to be taken seriously.
Most of the house was packed to move, but my mom just wouldnt get the process started. The diswasher was a big help, when it burst into flames and burned the house down it provided a lot of incentives for them to get a new place.
The $3000 your old man paid me to torch the place (and make it look like an accident) also provided an incentive for me to get my new motorcycle and some really bitchin' tattoos. Thanks bro!
the Clinton administration gave a survey to Marines asking if they'd be willing to fire upon American civilians in order to enforce gun control laws. Long story short, 75% of them said no. It's kind of alarming that 25% said yes.
Can you cite your source? "Enforcing gun control laws" can be interpreted many ways; I'd like to see the exact wording of the survey. You'd get a higher 'yes' number if the question was asked in terms of the marine being fired on by an American civilian, as opposed to cold-blooded execution any civilian captured with an illegal firearm.
Also, was the survey anonymous? If not, I suspect many of the respondents who said they would follow the order actually would refuse, if it came down to it. They wouldn't want to be known as someone who would refuse an order, since it might hurt their chances for promotion, etc.
It's a tough world. Can you give me a reason why a textile worker in USA should have a job when there is someone else willing to do this work for 10 times less?
"Doing the work for 10 times less" is a fallacy if the cost of living in the other country is also 10 times less. The only people who come out ahead in your scenario are the textile factory owners.
All parasitical and predatorial relationships I have seen on the animal kingdom are destined to ensure the survival of the parasite/predator. I have never seen a lion killing a lamb for sport or maim him to make a spy out of him. Only human beings are capable of such conduct, and even worse, in your case, only human beings are capable of justifying such conduct by trying to draw inexistant relationships between our acts and those of the animals.
Have you ever even seen a lion outside of a zoo? I haven't either, but I've owned plenty of their smaller cousins, felis catus. A well-fed housecat will kill for pleasure. They catch their prey, let it go, and repeat until the prey is dead. Then they typically leave the corpse to rot, sometimes by your front door. Feral cats, on the other hand, will catch their prey and eat it immediately.
At first, Google will offer a service to compete with PayPal, then once people are familiar with Google Payments (or whatever it's called), they could launch their own auction site. Don't forget, eBay and Paypal, having a virtual monopoly on internet auctions, charge quite a bit of coin to use their services. I recently sold a laptop for $979, and after the eBay listing fees, eBay final value fee, and Paypal fee, I only actually received $920.
Did I really get $60 worth of value from eBay and PayPal? They hosted an script-generated webpage that got 48 hits, and did a wire transfer of some money from one account to another. I don't think that's worth 60 dollars. I tried a free site (Craigslist), but only received responses from African scammers and one idiot who wanted to work out a payment plan.
Google could undercut eBay and PayPal by as much as 80%, IMO. They are ripe to be slaughtered.
For instance, a woman might give birth to a 15 pound baby. This is very unusual, and also quite newsworthy. So why is it tagged as offbeat?
Because it's interesting and entertaining, but utterly irrelevant.
Color me cynical, but the whole concept of 'offbeat' news seems to be about molding public opinion to the viewpoints of the newsmakers (whoever they are).
I'd use the word 'paranoid' rather than 'cynical' to describe that concept.

How do you read on a treadmill? I've never heard of anyone being able to do that. Are you walking?

Huh? Of course it can and does.
Housecats are animals which have been trained by us to behave in a certain manner.
Huh? Nobody trains their cat to torture its prey. It is their instinct to do so, pure and simple.
there is plenty of sources documenting its behaivour out there. None reference lions killing for pleasure.
Wrong, with a simple Google search ("lion toying prey"), I found several examples, even with human prey.

My mistake, if you scroll down the page far enough it starts preaching Christianity... sorry. But the first part is a decent synopsis of "No Exit".
It's a line from a play by Jean-Paul Sartre called "No Exit"
Here's a good write up: http://www.olivija.com/missionary/
So all the other store owners will take up a collection for the legal bills? I doubt that.
As long as there is poverty and drug abuse, there will always be armed robbery. Doesn't matter how many people you shoot.
They probably thought you were pimping some dubious 3rd party candidate.
