Is this really something you want to outright *teach*? I think it's best to let some learn for themselves but give them "encouragement" along the way. I think if you teach it you end up with people who are overly skeptical because they seem to never develop the key ingredient of skepticism: critical thinking. It seems, at least from my experience, that people who have the "take everything with a grain of salt" line of reasoning pounded into them lose the ability to know when they have crossed the line from being a skeptic to someone to whom no amount of reasoning, facts or other data can move from their position as they will dismiss it due to their continuing to follow their teaching beyond the letter. If they learn on their own and build it up with experience then the seem less likely to fall into this mode.
I'm not sure where you get that I'm giving one party a pass over the other in my post aside from my pre-emptive statement that I'm not pro-Republican. In honestly, my post was less about supporting one particular person and more about being tired of what seems to be a new norm in decrying people for holding a stance today that, when they were younger, they may have once not supported. I never once gave a pass for any of those instances you listed, nor did I imply that having viewpoints that are diametrically opposed one day to another or, as you mention, one sentence to another, were acceptable.
I'm definitely not pro-Republican but why does there seem to be this notion that people are hypocrites because they change their minds about things over the years? So if I do something I stupid when I'm younger and grow to regret it and speak against it as I age, I'm a hypocrite? Hrm... here I thought I was learning from my mistakes. Are we seriously no longer allowed to grow as people and instead are expected to carry the same beliefs, world views and approaches to life from day one until the grave with no hope to grow or change?
So they conclude it doesn't help (though their own data says that it does, even though it's slight) based on THAT table? Maybe they should try it again with a zebra striped table where the difference between the colors used is slightly more pronounced. I don't know about the rest here but I personally think I had a harder time with that because the color difference between rows was so slight than if they had left out the color. Played tricks on my eyes.
Who cares about lighting the alcohol. On our last flight to Britain my wife forgot to leave behind a pen knife she carries in her purse. Of course, they found that and she had to leave it behind at the screening station. I, carrying two bottles of alcohol in my bag had no problem getting through since you were allowed to bring such things in your carry-on at the time (post-9/11 but pre-"waterbomb" bs). I found it funny that I could easily do much more damage to people by breaking off the bottles and wielding them movie-barfight style than she ever could with that tiny knife.
How's that a thought crime? You wouldn't be hassled for thinking about doing that/thinking about robbing the bank. You'd be hassled for committing the act (not that walking into a bank wearing a ski mask should, in and of itself be a bad thing).
Really? You mean when I use Yahoo!, Google archives it? When I send email through my own server, Google can archive that? When I use AIM or YIM or MSN, Google has access to that too?
And YHO doesn't matter (nor really does WP since you could've just changed the entry before citing it), which was the point of my post. I was actually in Britian just last month talking to my in-laws about their thoughts on "America" or "the States".
Then again, keep saying how you *think* it should be and I'll keep telling you how it *is*. Great that in other languages there are different terms, but within English it's another story.
Yet the rest of the entire world can still trade with Cuba. Does the embargo have an effect? Sure. Is it enough to ruin the country alone? You've got to be kidding me.
None of the program compared are free (or Free), though two are shareware; two of them are for Windows only, one is Mac-only, and the other is "Java based, so it can operate on any platform."
And not a single of them are accessible since there's not a single link to the comparison anywhere in the write-up.
This sets the huge precedent that P2P is legal over there.
Not necessarily. It sets a precedent that the downloader isn't doing anything wrong, but I don't think it says anything about the person doing sharing. Note:
on the ground that those were private copies, and that he didn't redistributed(sic) them
So he's fine since he wasn't redistributing, but it sounds like the act of redistributing just might change the outcome of the case in other circumstances.
Yay. You sacrifice $3000, which could lead to a lot of experiences that you'll fondly recall for the rest of your life, so that (if you live to 65) you'll have extra money. Sure, it'd be nice to have that extra money, but I'd rather have the experiences, thanks.
One problem, the outcome would be the same had Kerry won (Iraq War continuing) based on Kerry's own statements, so it's not directly Diebold's fault that the people are dying.
"However, the special has not been seen in its original, uncut form since its original telecast in 1965. The opening and closing credits contain references to Coca-Cola, the show's original sponsor (the main titles have Linus and Snoopy crashing into a Coca-Cola sign, while the final end credit mentions "Merry Christmas from your local Coca-Cola bottler"). Years later, the FCC imposed sanctions preventing sponsor references in the context of a story (especially children's programming), which is why these elements (as well as several seconds of other footage) have not been seen lately on television, even on home video."
I've never heard that before, so I'm not guaranteeing that someone hasn't imparted their own imagined occurence to Wikipedia.

I'm pretty sure that if you paint, as you put it, the "Disney versions" then Disney would likely be in their rights to do that.
I wonder how many papers/emails/reports/whatever have been written where a d/r reversal typo has made its way to the final draft.

Wonder what they were planning to use? Pop Rocks and soda or the new hotness of Mentos and soda?

That's right. You heard it here first. National ID cards == The Holocaust.
Also, for all their vaunted style, the latest Apple notebooks look like antiques beside the latest pen-driven Tablet PCs.
No shit. The latest Dell notebooks would too. Apples vs oranges people. Geez.
Maybe you could just tell your girlfriend to not click the "Keep me logged in on this computer" checkbox when she logs in?
Informative? Some mods just don't see the "Vocals: Shek Baker" credit on the page.
Really? You mean when I use Yahoo!, Google archives it? When I send email through my own server, Google can archive that? When I use AIM or YIM or MSN, Google has access to that too?
Man... that's amazing.
Five continents? Interesting.

So, you expect to be able to pay for a year's worth of paper and delivery costs for $4.20?

Great job editors!

Oh god no! What will happen to our schools now that attendence is being tracked!?!?!?!
Wait a sec... I seem to recall attendence being tracked in the past via roll-call in homeroom.
So, hm, this is just a case of technology streamlining an extisting task, correct?

In case you were wondering, I am The Man.
;-)
Actually, it almost sounds like you just might be the woman in that relationship.

And, according to the Wikipedia entry on the Christmas special, it was actually sorta commerialized in nature to begin with:
"However, the special has not been seen in its original, uncut form since its original telecast in 1965. The opening and closing credits contain references to Coca-Cola, the show's original sponsor (the main titles have Linus and Snoopy crashing into a Coca-Cola sign, while the final end credit mentions "Merry Christmas from your local Coca-Cola bottler").

No, we're talking about a Kiosk that lets you mail the package. Therefore the mechanics of mailing a 16 ouce package are perfectly valid.
