You don't have to give up work experience to get a degree. I got an entry level position at a company that paid for my school. Took me longer to get the degree, but I did it and now when I see a job opening that requires a degree I don't have to cross it off my list.
Just curious, but if the research were to be successful what do you expect the result to be? Do you think only embryos that would otherwise have been thrown out will be used? The problem I have with this research is the next logical step would be the creation of embryos for the use in whatever treatment you create. At that point you would be "breeding humans to be used for spare parts."
The Times of London is reporting that the published documents include the names of confidential Afghan informants. I think that pretty much destroys your position...
So an enemy knowing what our countermeasures are doesn't risk lives? I call BS. These documents in many cases detail how our troops are trained to respond and if you don't think that kind of information "endangers lives" then I have a bridge to sell you.
By reading the documents and watching the videos you can learn a great deal about how our military reacts, thresholds that have to be met before engaging the enemy, and basic rules of engagement. All of these things can be used to plan attacks on our forces.
If you know how we deploy our troops you don't have to be told exact locations, you can deduce that information based on historical information. The more historical information you have the better you can model it.
I think we have a pretty good example of what she's talking about here in the comments section. I own one apple product, an iphone 4. I'm happy with it. I've looked at my co-workers android phones (including the EVO) and I still prefer my iphone but I'm constantly ridiculed as a "sheep", fanboi, etc...
Really? You consider a discussion about sex to be just as black and white as a discussion about violence? Odd. So would you tell your 8 year old daughter that sex is fine, have fun? Or would you tell her sex is bad, don't do it? To me either position is bad for a child. The first is likely to get you a child who ends up getting gangbanged on girls gone wild because they see sex as nothing, the latter ends up with a child unable to enjoy sex because they've been conditioned to think of it as nasty or wrong.
Oh, and your child doesn't feel empathy? They don't understand the consequences of hurting others? Really? Both of my daughters and my son began to show signs of empathy before they could speak. They understood that hurting others was bad long before they knew there were differences between girls and boys.
The reason I don't think it's appropriate to expose children to sexual material at a young age has to do with them not being mature enough to understand the full consequences of sex. It's easy enough to tell a child not to kill your brother or one of the other kids in class, but they simply aren't mentally prepared to understand the nuances of sex and when it's appropriate. When given a choice between telling a child sex is bad, don't do it, or avoiding the discussion until they are more prepared to understand I'll chose the latter.
Note: Nudity and sex are not the same thing. I don't agree with the puritanical position that nudity is bad and kids should be protected from it.
In this case it would be like me contracting you to inspect my roof and recommend repairs, then blaming you for leaks even though I threw your recommendations in the garbage.
None of the "professionals" I know stop working the minute they leave the office. Teachers aren't the only people who work "after-hours", but to listen to them you'd think they were.
I wasn't aware that UPS didn't pay federal, state, and local taxes. The part of the transaction that occurs in the state and utilizes state infrastructure is taxed.
I see you included national defense in there as well. Since there is no national sales tax then Amazon already pays all the taxes that would contribute to national defense through federal corporate and income taxes, just like everyone else.
Interesting. I've recently started running again (about 6 months now) and notice that my heart rate is quite a bit higher when I'm exerting myself than the "zone" listed for my sex/age/weight, but I've also noticed that finding a comfortable pace that I can maintain for at least 60 minutes gives me a heart rate around 165-170, so now I wear a monitor when I'm doing various exercises and push myself to that heart rate. Maybe it's just placebo, but I find that after 1 hour of any cardio activity at that rate my level of fatigue is relatively the same. I would assume that might be different if I was resistance training, but for biking, running, stair climbing, and the elliptical it's pretty consistent.
I really like using my heart rate as a guide better than setting goals that often times leave me with too much energy at the end, or burning myself out to early, yet I'm still seeing marked improvement in times and distances.
240 seems dangerous to me. Have you ever been to a cardiologist? My best friend would see his heart rate get up there and after seeing a doctor was diagnosed with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (caused by something I can't remember.) I understand that untreated it can be very dangerous (Hank Gathers died from it.)
My wife and I place a high value on not paying someone else to care for our children. Because of this she is able to take care of the housework, shopping, etc... while I am at the office. This means we have time for our family AND a hobby at the end of the day.
It surprises me that so many people you know have 16-17 hours worth of things that need to be done everyday. I wonder how someone would fit in non-recurring events such as band concerts, ballgames, and other activities that come up into lives that are already so full.
You and your wife both work, pay someone else to raise your kids, then complain about not having time to take care of things that need to get done all so you can drive that expensive car and/or that new high tech TV.
Getting judged by people who know little/nothing about you on the Internet is fun.

Wait a second, the books this idiot is burning are being paid for with taxpayer money?
Would it qualify in your mind if they put them in vats of piss?

We do pay as much as people in any other first world country with comparable population density and GDP.

Straight people can't marry people of the same sex either...
