You make a good point, but it's still bullshit. Terrorists kill less people in the US than cars, smoking, the war on drugs, just about anything actually. And yet we are still spending more and more money and making everyday life a pain in the ass for more and more people all just to score a few cheap political points. How the fuck did we get stuck with this pathetic government anyway?
Finally, of course, subtitles and dubbing will typically have different translations, and all bets are off as to which is better. The subtitles will have a better translation typically. The reason is that the translation on dubbed movies will be changed around a bit in order to make the translated words fit the mouth movements on the screen.
#1 - There's a reason for a propaganda machine in any war. If the locals are blaming us for deaths, then the propaganda machine is not doing its job. Rove, is that you? If the Iraqis are blaming us for the people we are killing due to the war, we could try and do a better job of convincing them that it isn't our fault.
Compare that for example to buying a car radio and not being able to receive signals of 1/2 of the stations, or losing radio signal in your radio where the car on your right receives the same program because it's coming from another provider... great thing, incompatible 'standards' eh? Sounds a bit like satellite radio to me.
Dembski and Behe are both Christians first and scientists second. Please provide an example of a non-religious (or even just someone of a non-Abrahamic religious background) scientists who supports ID if you want to support your argument.
And no, a Buddhist does not count as a fanatical Christian. WTF kind of a question is that?
Actually, evolution can't be given undue weight in the biological sciences since it is the cornerstone that supports pretty much everything. It's sort of like saying that the atomic theory gets too much attention in chemistry.
Considering that kids aren't even allowed to do what they will with their own genitals, it seems that limiting children's rights is an established form of whack jobbery.
In any language used by creatures living on planets, there will be a word for 'sun.' But 'Sol' will still be unique. Don't be so sure of that. Won't you feel foolish when we find out that "sol" is the word Andromedians use to refer to the central star in any solar system.
When we have colonies on Mars, what will the people living there be referring to when they say, "The moon has just risen?" I think it's safe to assume they are referring to the moon in the sky outside their bedroom window. I can't imagine how that could ever be confusing. We are already aware of other moons in the solar system and yet the phrase "the moon" doesn't result in any confusion.
I for one would pay more money for the "uninteresting" Damien Rice show than some extravagant display of musical whoredom. I would also gladly pay for Damien Rice "Eskimo" PJs, but I may be in the minority on that one:)
Oh yes, all those individual freedoms that must be curbed for sake of the environment. Gosh, why can't we be more like China where anyone who wants to can dump poison into the water supply? Damn fascist tree-huggers.
Completely anecdotal, I dated a director of HR. And I can tell you, in general, they do NOT look out for the employees. In this day and age they are no longer the "brokers" between management and employees. Their sole purpose is to do the will of the upper management. That's not going to surprise anyone, I think the evilness of HR is pretty much common knowledge among this crowd.
Not only are the things you listed more scientifically understood than alien lifeforms (We don't know if they exist at all. Period) Scientifically speaking, why wouldn't life exist elsewhere? Based on what we can observe at least one out of eight planets have intelligent life on them. As far as planets in the habitable zone around a star 100% of them have intelligent life. It's a big universe. Assuming that our planet is the only one with life is almost laughable.
That's a ridiculous amount of power for off, I wonder what could be using it all? A LOM card maybe? Not terribly surprising though since those machines are designed to be running 24/7.

Many people pissed off at the War on Drugs are not potheads at all. Being a thinking person is sufficient.
Yes, you are correct. I mistyped guerrilla and thoughtlessly accepted the spell checkers suggestion.
Wow. Spoken like someone who's never read another book. I know that's probably not true and that only makes it sadder.
Now lets compare the financial losses of both sides. We've lost half a trillion dollars so far, how about them?
That fact is that Bin Laden wanted us to be mired in an unsustainable gorilla war and we gave him exactly that. Mission accomplished.
Or maybe we could stop killing them.
Sounds like an episode of Mythbusters to me
Who is the Buddhist that believes in ID?

But how often are tazers used only once? Even Andrew Myers was given multiple shocks and he was already in police custody at the time.

independent weekly paper. Then read the music reviews and listings for local shows. That should provide a stead flow supply of new bands to check out.
Are you sure? I seem to remember streaming JPEGs were very common in the 90s :)
I was just thinking how shitty, artless bands like Kiss are probably to blame for music industry woes.

You haven't seen my apartment. I'm praying someone will find extra dimensions I can use for storage.

The visible light is easy to block, but making that hot gas invisible in infrared would be quiet a trick.
