If you go to college and work when you are under 22 like I was, you lose so much in taxes because your parents can claim you as a dependant and therefore they get the tax rebate from YOUR paycheck.
No they don't. You declare yourself as your own dependent and don't give your parents your W2s. You should also inform them that you are not their dependent around december so that, when they get busted for tax fraud, your conscience is clear.
Putting criminals in jail certainly does deter crime during the duration of their sentence.
I think you need to improve your English skills. Deterrence means preventing something from being done. Locking someone up after the time is a bit different.

How Were You Fired?

Have you ever noticed though, that most companies wait till the last moment before letting the employees know that there's something wrong.
Not at this place - we had monthly meetings where management showed us the balance sheet and incoming business. Everybody knew what was coming.
That reminds me of how it worked at one place I worked (it happened to other people, but not me). A meeting was held late in the morning with little notice, where all the people invited were informed that they no longer had jobs. This was in 2001, and we hadn't had new contracts for awhile. Anyway, they gave a month severance and offered use of computers to the recently fired for job hunting. The rest of us were assured that, should it come down to it, the rest of us would receive similar severance.
Creationism does understand genetics. I believe it was Job who famous for his cattle, being larger and a better breed than any others.
Creationism doesn't address Genetics.
As of yet, even given the millions of hours in laboratory observations, not a single creature has given birth to offspring of another species. (human experiments in gene therapy not withstanding)
Are you sure? A new Species is just another way of measuring genetic drift. We know now that we need an isolated population for new species to form.
2nd Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy always increases. In other words, a complex system will dengererate into a less ordered, more primative system. But Evolution claims the opposite effect.
Oh come on, at least come up with an original idea. Evolution doesn't violate physics, as it takes place in an open system, and the 2nd law requires a closed system. Next you'll be using that chestnut to disprove crystal growth.
Species reproduce into their own species. Genetic variation occurs within a species, but mutations don't create new, better species....they create genetic diseases like Type 1 diabetes.
I find that difficult to believe, given that creationism has no concept of genetics and fails to account for things like ring species.
What kind of evidence would it take to falsify the theory of evolution?
Evidence that contradicts its tenets. Evolution has some fairly loose assertions (species evolve from simpler forms, specialization, and so on) and, if you can show this to be false, then you've falsified Evolution. Of course, false theories are still useful - we make use of Newtonian mechanics even though they're known to be false, or at least incomplete.
Counter challenge: How would you falsify Creationism? What predictions can be made about the world based on Creationism? Do they actually occur?
The problem the religious zealots have is that the Darwinian's are preventing creationist theories from being talked about.
In an education environment, it's quite reasonable to expect that both theories be taught. (Yes, they are both theories. There is nothing scientifically factual about evolution whatsoever.)
Creationism is not a theory, it is a story. If it were a theory, it could be falsified, and you could make predictions based on it. Evolution satisfies these constraints, piltdown man notwithstanding. There is plenty of scientific fact associated with evolution - it's just that figuring out what happened 10 or 100 million years ago is rather difficult, especially when you're not sure how.
Anonymous whistleblowing could lead to a witch hunt that would affect not only you but your co-workers and friends as well. If you whistleblow with your name you risk losing your job
Yes, let's kill 7 astronauts so that you can keep your job.
Notice that the civil suit was AFTER the criminal one? The state gets first dibs on felons.
Not sure about the dibs thing, but you'd have to be an idiot not to wati for the end of the criminal case - you can then use all that evidence in your civil case.
imagine a ten year old ends up in a room concerned with extreme methods of amusement in the bedroom. what if some of the terms confuse them, and they go on to google to look for them... it's an extreme unlikely example,
Whaddya mean? I was 12 when I first found out what watersports were. After that, I left that whole branch of usenet alone.
Well about 3 times per week some user brings in a laptop, plugs it in to the LAN, and we get some new worm running around the office LAN.
Can't you set up unknown computers on a VLAN and implement some connectivity rules? It seems that partitioning the mobile computers and blocking, or at least monitoring port 135 and listening for common exploits like nimda would work pretty well. That, and firewall the servers from the users.
If you've ever tried to fix your credit history you know it's damn near impossible.
Send a demand letter to the reporting service demanding that they remove the offending item. They now have 30 days to respond and either justify it or remove it. Send one demand letter for all of the disputed items, and send it every 30 days until they miss a deadline or remove the item.

Let's not even think about how easy sex offenders get off.....
Yeah, I hear that pedophiles get off real easy - 3 months of a 5 year sentence!
Aw, come on. I need more than that. Strapped which way?
The bug is affixed to the underside of the Jetta with 3 lbs of bubble gum
How many coats of Purple are there?
I think the factory does 3 coats plus the clear coat.
How fast are they going? (Relativity, don'cha know?)
Stationary, but spinning at 30Rad/sec about the mutual center of gravity.
Which model VW
A Purple Jetta III GLS strapped to a 1970 mexican release Beetle.
This is why the more powerful assault rifles and machine guns are illegal to be sold to civilians.
Untrue on its face.
- Machine guns are legal to own, just expensive to license.
- All rifles are assault rifles. Only a few specific rifles were banned.
- You can buy a
.50BMG rifle if you want to.
Traditionally, a device is legal if there are significant legal uses.Like what? Making an embedded browser in my app?
Well, yeah. IE can be embedded.

Exactly what business are you in that you need to sell my financial details and fill my inbox with shit?
The fact that the government has the gall to legislate lifestyles is appalling.
Hey, they give recognition to straight couples, why not gay couples?

Blaming stuff on other people has helped in a lot of cases.
It also got us the holocaust, so it's kind of a mixed bag.

I mean, what, do terrorists all run up their credit card debt before killing themselves, figuring they won't have to deal with it anyway?
So, if somebody suddenly maxes their credit cards, they're either:
- A Terrarist
- Suicidal
- unemployed with no income source
- a victim of identity theft

You can't have voting receipts... because that would make it too easy to corrupt the voting process.
And the current system allows you to edit my vote after the fact. Choose your evil.
Obviously the phrase "generation loss" is lossed on you :-)
Yes, well i've only 'lossed' one generation. Then it's digital all the way, baby!

Most importantly, never, EVER, for any reason, leaves Northwest
Sounds like a plan. If you don't like it, walk 10 blocks east and about 5 blocks south. See how you like that part of town.
