"Gun crime is extremely rare in Britain, and handguns are completely illegal. The ban is so strictly enforced that Britain's Olympic pistol shooting team is barred from practicing in its own country.
Britain's 46 homicides involving firearms was the lowest total since the late 1980s. New York City, with 8 million people compared to 53 million in England and Wales, recorded at least 579 homicides last year."
That's under 1 per 1,000,000 in England and over 72 per 1,000,000 in New york.
The 2nd amendment only applies to people in "A well regulated militia". There is NO Constitutional right to own a gun.
People will often say, "If it save's 1 life it's worth it" to justify virtually anything. As long as it doesn't stop the red necks from having their guns, "Yeehaw".
That is correct, I had it and played it a lot. It was similar to Sim City 2000, Had no sewer system or arcologies etc. I remember reading That Sim city 2000 was what the designer had wanted the original Sim city to be. I threw my A500 away a few years ago, just didn't have space for it and I could buy one on EBay for under $10. But I think I still have the Sim City floppies around somewhere.
It is good to see people getting "real" good mileage. The Prius gets 55 MPG, the Geo metro and Honda civic in the late 80's and early 90 got mid 50's. I heard some GM exec on the radio yesterday talking about the new 50 MPG small cars they were bringing to market, what, "used Honda's"? If a regular engine can get 50+ MPG it shouldn't be hard for a Hybrid to get 70 or 80+, if not 100+.
Just woke up, a bit groggy, and I see free wireless broadband! I am stuck with crappy (no pun intended) satellite broadband and was very exited about an alternative. Oh well will keep waiting for Clearwire.
it's because we have specialized light receptors which we use at night time that are much more sensitive, but are monochromatic.
I believe my grandfathers question implied the "Total absence of Light". I believe NOTHING can see in that situation (short of some kind of internal/optical light source). The question is less about eyes, if about them at all. It is more, "does an object need light to have color"? Could it be that in the total absence of light everything IS black?
This reminds me of a question my Grandfather posed to me when I was young (30+ yrs ago). When the lights are out, can you not see colors (objects) because it is dark or because they don't have any color w/o light shining on them, a bit like "does a tree falling make noise if no one is there to hear it". I haven't thought of this in a while, I am sure there is a scientific answer, I would guess the prior, the characteristics that make an object a certain color are still there when the lights are out.
Do you think the NYPD spontaneously decided to spy on democrats (or whoever the RNC wanted info about). I don't know how the police got involved in this but the orders must have come from higher up, Mostly likely from republicans associated with the RNC.
The corruption we see today from the republican side never ceases. I am sure it has probably been as bad from the other side in the past but not in my memory. It just keeps coming. I can't think of a single truth I have heard from the current administration.
Now scientists have come up with the first evidence of burrowing dinosaurs. They speculate that underground dens might explain how some dinosaurs got through long, dark winters at high latitudes, too.
OK, well I have never owned a pager and Didn't loose any TV. I'll rephrase:
How often do "I" hear about solar flares or storms affecting communications and satellites...etc... I don't remember ever loosing my cell phone or TV or Internet or anything do to this.

Were all complaining about $3, It should be closer to $2. A large reason your gas is so high is its very highly taxed. The "before tax" part is probably similar.
I was figuring this out a while back. If you keep your Prius for 100,000 miles at about 50mpg that is 2,000 gallons of gas. At $3.00/gal that's $6,000 in fuel. If a none Hybrid gets even 25 mpg (mine gets 30+) that's 4,000 gallons of gas or $12,000. So the Prius saves you $6,000 in gas and costs about $10,000 more than a comparable non-hybrid. I think I'll pass.

I wonder, do you believe in the computer you used to post on

If the students were armed, as provided for by the 2nd amendment
And of course part of, "A well regulated militia" I am sure you just forgot that part.
If the students were armed, as provided for by the 2nd amendment, someone could have dropped that guy early on and saved 30 or more people.
Yes, definatly, MORE guns is exactly what's needed. Go to bed Elmer Fudd.
Maybe they could hit Halley's comet in 1986.

Their taking lessons from the white house.
in my case for example I drive a 911
/.er?
So which wins out, having a 911 babe magnet, or being a babe repelling

This sounds awesome, I wonder if it will be set before or after the rings destruction. If it is before will destroying the ring be the ultimate quest?
the two sperms came from a different father.
Probably the different father would pay.

you assume that Republicans must have been behind the whole thing
It isn't hard to assume Republicans would be behind spying for the RNC. Maybe Bush is still looking for WMD's?
I assume you'll be voting for Ms. Clinton this time around?
Not a chance, Obama all the way. I have never like Mrs. Clinton much.
Seriously, even when the article makes no mention of Republicans, other than the fact that it was their convention
Did you listen to yourself before tying that?

Very sorry
Now scientists have come up with the first evidence of burrowing dinosaurs. They speculate that underground dens might explain how some dinosaurs got through long, dark winters at high latitudes, too.
I believe this proves it beyond a doubt.

I guess my whole point is kind of moot.
