When I speed I don't think I'm doing something wrong. I'm not very aggressive, I just speed with the flow of traffic...probably going slower would be more likely to cause an accident. I'm confident in my moral superiority, that clearly the road was built for higher speeds than the limit indicates, and the law is silly, or limit too low for realistic expectations of society.
People who fileshare will probably agree there is a law against it (you can't argue with fact), but are also probably certain that the law doesn't make any societal sense, and that they are morally fine.
Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist.

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Hmm, would this drug attack strictly the dangerous refined cocaine or non-dangers like relaxing coca tea, quite popular in Peru and other Souther American countries, brewed from the leaves of the plant that can be refined to cocaine.
And what about coca-cola...if users become allergic to it then I guess we finally would know the secret recipe.;-)
Human culture for _millenia_ respected intelligence. Oh, this is so wrong.
Traditionalists have always railed against intellectualism. They fear change, and innovation has occurred in spite of human culture, not because of it. Look at how Japan and China resisted western technology for centuries as one example. (I'm not knocking those cultures they have produced some awesome ideas, all cultures are guilty of this behavior)
Humans love to ignore change because it's not 'the way we've always done it'. This fear of change is taught to us, as it's comforting.
I do it too, when I think about it, and I'm pretty open-minded. But I resisted getting a cellphone when they came out, and then when I had one I resisted upgrading it as long as possible. Because I was afraid of being frustrated by something new, and I was getting by with what I had.
Necessity is the mother of human invention not because we think better, but because we accept change best when we have no other options.
Fox has big time lawyers who would smack BB down and be able to make a huge deal about it. Normal citizens don't have/can't afford the legal teams that can assure Fox TV that it wouldn't stand up in court so don't worry about it, nor can they easily get their word out the way say, Fox can.
That reminds me of that beer commercial where the guy is trying the dangerous stunt of staying in his cubicle after 5PM on a friday fully equipped with a safety helmet and pads, and within 10 seconds he's delirious and passing out and needs to be dragged to safety.

Or worse they make you stay until it's all come out the other end ;-)
I played a corpse once...in the snow...for an hour.
At least I died facing up so I could watch clouds go by. But my ass was numb when we were done.

A big fat turd or a stupid douche,

I can think of other solid methods of identifying people, but I don't want to break Godwin's law. ...Unless I just did.

Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life.

Exactly the same in my view.
Ah, but what's it's dexterity rating?
Pardon me while I calculate it's stats and give it equipment. *snort*
I agree, I've voted for Hillary before and she's a great stateswoman, but I think Obama will do the best job uniting the country as president.
And does anyone seriously think the Iowa caucus is as relevant as the media tries to make it?
Talk to me after Feb 5th.

I agree, such vaccinations should only be considered in a voluntary sense.

I used it a lot, but then uninstalled it, so we balance out.
If they actually release the game how can I continue to classify certain projects at work as 'Duke Nukem Forever' priority!!
Don't worry Bender, there's no such thing as two.
Fry, remind me. Disemboweling in your species? Fatal?
"Oh yea"
Large bet on myself in the first round.
One report says it never happened signed by the principal, another said they talked to the principal about the event.

Me so confused
I often whisper "You piece of crap why won't you work".
of why humans fall in love with humans.
Because they are not robots.
Oh, I see a good formula here for pointless refutations that have no actual substance.
You really call that [topic] "[previously used adjective]"? Hardly. Hell, give me [objects in topic] and I'll come up with a better [topic].
