In every nature vs. nurture argument I've seen, no one has ever taken the position of 100% nature. People are, at least in part, defined by their experience.
The US has strategic interest in Denmark getting this oil: providing Europe with a cheap alternative to Russian oil and natural gas. The US can't leverage the deposits for the same purpose nearly as easily as the Danish can.
That comic is in relation to Brandon Eich, and it has no relevance. Mozilla did not stifle Brandon Eich's speech, or tell him to stop supporting or giving money traditional marriage causes, or by any other means stifle his freedom of expression.
That would be rather inconvenient for the residents themselves, would not it?
It doesn't have to. As long as residents in the neighborhood can still enter and leave, the inconvenience of not having a straight-shot going in the direction of the highway should be outweighed by the lack of rerouted traffic.
Why, yes, this is a great argument to justify selective enforcement of traffic laws too — tell the police to only ticket non-residents. Still feeling good?
Why would I feel bad? Selective police enforcement was your idea, not mine.
No, further in the article. Waze explained that if Waze users make the trip without incident (which they would in the event of a fake accident), it does not reroute people to avoid it.
Actually, complaining is very effective. All it takes is a municipal decision to make the road one-way (in the wrong direction) or install speed bumps, or four way stops at every intersection. And local municipalities care more about what their residents think than what passing commuters think. I expect a good bit of road construction in these burbs soon, and the commuters aren't going to like it.
Is this quite as true of the 1960 and 2002 movies of The Time Machine? I watched both and my first disbelief breaker was how English survived 800 millennia when Proto-Indo-European fractured into modern languages in only six.
Oh wait, the Animal Crossing anime isn't a sequel to The Island of Dr. Moreau, is it?
As a sci-fi fan, I struggle with this wherever I encounter it: Dr. Who, SG-1, and yeah, both adaptations of the Time Machine. In the last case, I think that taking the artistic liberty of adding an actual story, with a real conflict to be resolved, necessitates communication of some kind. While the solution in both movies (people still speak English!) leaves something to be desired, it is still better than the boring temporal travelogue that makes up the source material.
In most cases, HG Wells' novels are vastly improved upon by their movie adaptations (even starring Tom Cruise), with the notable except of the The Island of Dr. Moreau.
But the issue about not following Islam strictly enough is also true for Christians.
For the last 2-300 years, the penalty for not being Christian enough is not being invited to the church potluck dinner. Now, I understand that, for some people, not having all-you-can-eat potato salad is a lot like torture, but I never really cared for the stuff anyway.
I think that US is right now pretty much ashamed of the situation from before 1850s.
Not to mention, early abolitionists were devout evangelical Christians, and were accused of religious extremism at the time. And some were; John Brown, for instance. Now whether that extremism was warranted or not, I pronounce no judgement.
You're trying to sound like the enlightened, reasonable one while sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting "LA LA LA LA LA NOT LISTENING!" You should not be surprised when some people respond with the intellectual gravity it deserves.

Dammit, I hate those special pieces. They're like cheating.

Sony, on the other hand, is.
Caltrops only do 1 hit point of damage, but they do halve your movement speed.

TFA explains why that won't work.

Where did the extra 6 years come from, heretic? Cardinal Fang! Fetch... THE COMFY CHAIR!!!

And so you remind us that there was a movie, too. You insensitive clod.
It's superior if and only if you need to dig for grubs in dirt and wood with your mouth.
Although, I have to admit, if *I* was rich I'd take the diamond-crusted Ferrari.
Well, if some rich guy is going to throw his wealth away, I'd rather he did it this way than on a personal zoo and a diamond-crusted Ferrari.
Exactly. A real man would just fight hostage-takers off with a mug of coffee, am I right? Shooting back is just unsporting.
