I believe the best on this is James D. Nicoll, with:
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
OT, but I just have to say, the thought of Golytely (for the non-medical, this is the most ill-named medication on earth - for you will certainly not go lightly) for mild constipation has crossed my mind with a few patients...
This is, medically speaking, totally incorrect as to mechanism but correct on one essential point: when you inhale large amounts of water, go to a hospital.
Why? You breathed in either pond water (yuck) or chlorinated water from a pool. The chlorine in the pool water acts as a direct irritant to the tissues of the lung and causes the blood vessels to become more leaky than usual (just like the swelling around an infection). This causes the fluid to exit your vessels and fill your lungs, which causes you respiratory distress. The more proper term is chemical pneumonitis, and if you get in bad shape from it you may end up on a ventilator for a while.

Of course, the point is that in many cases, you don't have a choice. My father-in-law has a Suburban for which he has a real need (he's a manufacturer's rep for clothing, and he needs a covered large space in which he can hang clothing samples to show when he's selling). OTOH, it's his only car. He's not going to go out and buy an econobox - in addition to the Suburban and his wife's car - just so he can have an extraordinarily expensive but fuel-efficient way to go to the grocery store. (The mother-in-law drives a two-seater convertible. Yes, it's nice. No, it's not good if you have to carry anything larger than a CD. It's old enough that it didn't come with cupholders.)
Just remember, most of those 30- and 40-something women you see driving monster SUVs solo are doing so because their kids are in school at the moment. Do you really think they're going to buy another car just for when the kids aren't around?
No, most avowed Democrats thought it was based on fear, because they couldn't admit they nominated a guy who had no coherent policy on anything important and no charisma to make up for it. I have absolutely no expectation that I will ever be the victim of a terrorist attack. That doesn't mean I don't think we should kill them all.
Hint to Democrats: nominating Northeastern limousine liberals has not worked for you since JFK. Quit doing it every time the guy from the South loses. Try some of the guys from out West - and I don't mean California.
Socialism, in it's traditional and true definition, means "the workers democratic ownership and/or control of the means of production". Such a definition implies that rather than a government bureaucracy for managing such means, there is a focus on highly democratic organisation, education and awareness, and every individual is encouraged to become an active, rather than passive participant in that which effect their lives
Well, if you get rid of the government, and the workers democratically control the means of production in the absence of the state, that pretty much rules out socialism. It's the absence of government combined with the absence of private ownership of means of production. In my book, that's communism. You can (as the site does) call it libertarian socialism, but that's making a distinction that is utterly meaningless to all but the hardest left; a right-wing comparison doesn't come to mind immediately, but I'm quite sure there is one, probably located somewhere within the US Libertarian Party.
What on earth about center-left to center-right is incompatible with being a staunch Democrat? What do you think all the Irish, Italians, and union guys that made up a big chunk of the New Deal coalition were?
Why, in the name of all that is good, do you want the thing regulated by anyone at all?
What would subjecting the Internet to the sum total of the faults of every government on earth do to improve anything about it? We could have the corporate dominance of the US, the statist control of the EU, and the dictatorial decrees of China all wrapped in one! Woohoo! Sign me up!
Makes sense. I'm just a big fan of the use of the ablative; it's a great grammatical construction that I wish you could use in English to the same effect.
I've never met anyone who was totally altruistic when it comes to kids. Maybe you want somebody to love you and call you daddy or mommy; maybe you want someone to take care of you in old age; maybe you want to be able to lord it over the other people in the nursing home that your kid is the CEO of Acme, Inc. Some people are just more warped and wrapped up in it than others.
In spite of that, I'm glad to see that you (and parent commenter) actually view children as separate living beings that should be nurtured, not as extensions of yourselves to be molded. I suspect you'll produce some good people.
You can get a similar same deal on Sprint in the US - a new phone every 18 months. Came in handy when my wife lost hers. Of course, we did have to sign a 2-year contract, but we got a Samsung a660 for free. We're not going to change our contract (300 min for $35/month, AFTER taxes, free nights/weekends). And since we found the old one a few weeks later, there's a spare phone when I finally give in and get one myself.
So you way overtalked your existing minutes, knowing that the penalties for overage were invented by twisted freaks, and then complained that your bill was too high? Should have gotten a bigger plan.
And parent called the European cell phone market was "planned economy" because the standard for communications was enforced - GSM, no other. I think the parent was being a bit over the top - but we did end up with noticeably cheaper service over here, even if phones often only work on one carrier's network.
Pay-to-receive is overrated as a concern; Americans generally buy a fixed number of minutes (at around $0.10/min for the low-end, down to maybe $0.05/min for big plans) so they pay the same whether they use it or not. We don't pay per call.
Plus, we have free nights and weekends (9pm-7am is typical, though you can sometimes get nights to start earlier). I was making an 8-hour road trip the other weekend and spent almost 3 hours of it on the phone catching up with a friend (before you flame, I was on a deserted rural freeway, not city streets). Didn't count against my minutes, as it was Sunday. (Actually, for those who care enough to go back and read my comments, it was my wife's phone, as I don't have one. Principle is the same.)
One gets the impression that no European mobile operators offer free off-peak usage, though I may be wrong. Oh, and my minutes are from anywhere on the Sprint (nationwide, but limited to higher-traffic roads and cities) network to any line in the US. We can use her phone 1000 miles from home without incurring any extra charges.
Interesting. I looked around the site and seemed to find some limitation - eg do you earn > 50k, etc., etc. - maybe it's just outdated. I did check the website before mouthing off, though.
I still don't really trust a private company to do it - I don't want all my tax data, along with everyone else's, in one fantastically rich score for an enterprising hacker.
Are you actually telling me that wherever you are there is no distinction between a no-fault divorce ("we just want out") and an at-fault divorce?
If he can prove she cheated, she's at fault. Ergo, she'll probably get what she came into the marriage with (emphasis on probably; if a man cheats on his wife he'll be unlikely to keep more than the worse of the two cars), and much much less than half of what the couple made during the marriage, because he's been wronged.
That should have said jaws. Or drawers. But certainly not "draws". Channeling the pronunciation of a New Jersey ex-girlfriend into type... oh how I have fallen.
And your security against racist jerks in France is better?
Let's be realistic - any judicial system is open to exploitation by those who have an axe to grind. The common law system is no different from the Continental system in that respect. We could empanel a jury of racists; so could you. We have racist cops; so do you. People are fallible, and we all seek ways to minimize the effect this has on justice.

Are you sure that it's that we conservatives don't know what socialism is, or that self-professed socialists don't know what communism is?

Except, possibly, his wife?
Actually, exempli gratia is "for the sake of an example". If you're going to do it, might as well do it all the way.
Of course, I built my system in 1997, so it may not be so bad for others.

I'd say that it's around 90% in my age group (26-30). I'm one of the 10%... hate the things.

And taxfreedom, like other free-online sites, is only free if you have a low income.
