Lol, just put it bluntly to her.
"God isn't real"
And if you really want to make classmates/teacher/everyone crazy.
"Santa isn't, either."
Maybe its just me, but even 2nd graders seem to be prietty smart, when they arent being fooled into saying things by Bill Cosby on one of his low-rated TV shows.
Yes, freedom DOES apply to everyone, except when you are in Jail. At which point you are still covered by the constitution.
It doesn't matter what nationality you are, either. Step on US soil escaping persecution, bam, you are now governed under US law, and might even be eligable for citizenship. That's basically how I've seen it.
I've never been in a situation where an Athiest has told me anything about god, or how got is fake, or what have you. So, that I would not know.
I personally dont believe in god, nor do I wish to associate myself with any groups that are even semi-religious (including athiesm, I lean more towards "I don't give a rats ass about any religious beliefs whatsoever")
I can sorta see your point about language, but over time, with lots of use, fuck will move into the mainstream.. ever notice the word "bitch" has been widely uncensored since early 2001? Just an observation.
Why not look at the other side of the coin for a change.
Right-wing-ultra-wackos tend to like to spew on about how religion, so don't get me started on that.
And all christians want to talk about is how "abortion is killing a life" and "stem cell research is a tool of THE DEVIL!".
One time I saw a news report about stem cell research, and they caught people coming out of their local Roman Catholic Church. One clueless-looking woman said something to the effect of "I dont think its right to be researching stem cells." Made me fucking angry. Oh well, whats next, reinstitution of leech therapy?
Mod this waay down.
By the way: FUCK OFF. Dont go all pussy and say "freaking", the word is fuck.

More counties, all the same wording.
"Causes for Debarment...entry of a plea of guilty, no contest, or nolo contendere to or conviction under state or federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of bids or proposals".
Did they plead guilty?
Or maybe that county has a more strict wording? (You commited, rather than plead guilty to committing).
You know, there is a "portable NES" that hooks up to your TV. It looks like a controller.
Difference: 100 some odd more games.
It is also ~$60 or something like that.
I saw it on QVC a few months ago, and it may have been on HSN. I wonder how easy it would be to turn one into a portable. (since its in seeming wide availability, and is small...)
Oh, back on topic, Pic of the "portable" atari: http://www.qvc.com/img/E/41/E29241.jpg
I've been following the scene for quite awhile. Was hop in #dcemu 6 months or so, when it wasnt busy. Went through the big John Henderson fiasco.
There is alot the DC offers, that nobody realizes. Do you know its the only cheap $50 console, that has accelerated 3d rendering? in free, open source libraries (KOS 1.1.7).
Rocket Racer beta2 is a wipeout-style game, no AI or Multiplayer till beta 3, but the techdemo of it kicks ass (4 cars, 2 tracks, time trials only).
DCShooter (beta that is out is old, wait for next release).. loads Q2 levels. Its a homebrew multiplayer (1-4) shooting game. Will soon be goldeneye-style.
DCAsteroids and DCFighting are both 3d, but are on backburner for the shooting game at the moment.
Look at fucking DcDivx!! Made by team Project Mayo themselves! (Divx 3,4,5 support, AVI, MP3 - Disc Swap Support) Its only beta 3, and is an -excellent- movie player.
There are outstanding emulators too.
NES : NesterDC 6.0 SNES: DreamSNES 0.9.7 GB : DCGNUboy 1.0.3-0.4 Genesis : DCGen 0.34b Sega Master System/ Game Gear : Smeg 0.84
Just to name a few.
The harddrive is only a smaller mod that makes up the DC as a whole. Look at everything, and it kicks the crap out of any PS2 or Xbox...
Go ahead, play a super nintendo game on the Xbox. Play a DivX movie on your PS2.
Mmmkay, so Open-Source software is better. And Microsoft is a bunch of NSA luvin bastards.
I heard this before.
(I am a very-new-newbie to linux so don't take this the wrong way)
If OSS software developers were so concerned, why is there no industrial-strength ultra crypto distro(is that the term?) of linux with really kewl desktop themes and special ZoneAlarm-type-firewall, Serv-U-FTP looking encrypted FTP & other super-duper features.
I think there was awhile back by the name of Paranoid Linux or something like that.
Why wasn't there a demand for an ultra-secure version of linux. Just because you might not be commiting computer(or other) crimes is not a reason to run an unsecure OS.
Anyone know how much to hire a decent mercenary to 'take care' of the problem;)
Seriously though, this sh*t is getting out of hand. The RIAA wont stop until they start pissing off the average Joe & Jane Crackhead and by that time it'll be too late.
Okay, so what, DC Emulation is much further along.

MAME on X-Box
·
· Score: 1
Alright, so you have MAME on the X-Box. Oooh, the unhackable X-Box gots an emu... While that's a great thing look at the obvious.
X-Box is how much at launch? $300 or some sh*t?
Dreamcasts are much less, I bought mine for $60 (refurb)
Anyway, the DC can emulate the NES near-perfectly (NesterDC), SNES well (ngine or DreamSNES), Game Boy/Game Boy Color well (Boob!Boy), MAME okay/well (MAMED or MAMEDC), and a bushel/barrel/ton of other emu's for other systems... and thats not including the ports of other games (DOOMDC and QUAKE are the firsts) you can emulate many systems, for only $60 and the cost of a few CD's.
So if anyone is looking for a cheap alternative to a new system, and wants good emulation on your TV, go get a dreamcast.

Silly me!
I misread, they all have the same strict wording... "or conviction...under state or federal antitrust statutes"
No need to plead guilty, just be convicted of.
