Yes, it is challenging to toss pencils so that they stick into a tile ceiling, and challenging to cut a carrot with a thrown playing card, but SO WHAT!!, it isn't useful.
A pencil is useful when writing and a playing card is useful for playing, just like a gun is useful for killing.
God created man equal in value. Sam Colt made them equal in power.
Holding someone accountable as an adult is different than declaring that they are responsible to behave as an adult. Previously minors committing capital offenses would be evaluated to ascertain if they where able to be held to account as adults and then tried as adults.
This is different from emancipation which means that an individual has demonstrated that they can respond or be responsible as an adult.
In most states, the determination of whether a minor is competent to consume alcohol is mad on a case by case basis by the guardian of that minor, and the guardian will be held responsible for the actions of that minor both before and after consuming alcohol, with the exception of heinous(under the law) acts such as rape, murder, grand theft.
Hint, if a single parent can provide food, shelter, and clothing to one or several children, so can one half of a two parent household, it involves things called sacrifices, like driving a hyundai instead of a lexus, renting instead of owning, having one 25" TV instead of 4 36"+ TVs, playing board games or reading instead of having super ultra digital cable.
I'm aware of this popular myth. I'm also aware that it is completely false, and utterly unsupportable. Parent choose to have 2 jobs in order to provide luxuries like cable TV, SUVs, TV in every room, etc.
A man tearing at a woman's clothing and pawing at her breasts is not appropriate or expected during the Superbowl halftime show, it may not be appropriate during a "daytime drama" either, but is to be expected and hence use of the ONOFF or CH+- buttons can be employed. When Inappropriate and unexpected behaviour occurs in conjunction with a "wardrobe malfunction" exposing a breast, it becomes indecent.
Exposed breasts can be expected and may be appropriate during an oprah show about breast-(feeding/cancer) and again, if not desired appropriate application of the useful buttons provided.
The indecency argument comes when they are un-expected, inappropriate and potentially indecent.
I'm(shockingly) married, If I was to passionately kiss or grope my wife at the walmart checkout, that would be unexpected and inappropriate, if she became exposed during the process it would also be indecent.
OTOH, if after she delivers our child, and is breastfeeding(discretely) at the park on a bench, and becomes exposed, it might be inappropriate, but would not be unexpected or indecent, same breast, different context different rating.
I don't believe that consensual "obscene" phone calls are censored by the phone company. and since every tv program I've seen over broadcast or cable lately has that tv-14/pg/ma/etc vsnl stuff you can use the ONOFF key all TVs have today, since we aren't 1984 yet.
I read that site, then I checked with google and my bean supplier, and both recommend coffe be prepared and served at 185-205, BUT that it not be consumed above 140.
Hitchhiking is illegal in many places as a public safety issue, but being a pedestrian across state lines is no-where illegal(in the US). In fact, many individuals(either for personal amusement or masochism) have walked rt 1(Florida to Maine) and rt 90(CA to florida).
In point of fact, you always have a choice, you can elect to keep your restricted item and go home, or surrender your restricted item and fly. OR you can elect to keep your restricted item, go to the fedex/western union terminal which can be found in almost any airport( I know, my local airport has 6 gates and a western union and a fedex) and send the item to your destination. then board the aircraft
Check. although since most of them have broadcast/performance licensessee ascap it's more of a personality thing. Note, that anyone can get an ascap license, and many groups do, so that they can print up 25-100 copies of selected music for chorus', chorales, etc, or other group sing type events. If you wanted for example to have music at your wedding and the hall did not have an ascap license( and you wanted to scrupulously follow the law) you could contact ascap with a playlist and guest count and they would issue you a license number and price list.
What makes you think that a cover of Hey Jude would be free to record/distribute. After all, The girl scouts have to pay to sing Happy Birthday, what makes Hey Jude any different?
Certainly, but since federal tax returns are a matter of record, and the law could be ammended to make them a matter of PUBLIC record, I prefer not to take that deduction and further attempt to make my donations via cash or money order whenever possible or reasonably convienient.
So AI's purpose is yapping, not acting. Well, I haven't given them money before, and I likely will continue that trend and mark them off the list of charities I might consider in the future. OTOH, if they took action(directly or indirectly) to include writing letters to the powers that be. that might be different, but there are enough human rights abuses in front of my nose in my own neighborhood workplace and community, that I don't need my attention drawn to those I can't influence. And I'm not going to mourn those outside my sphere of influence. I only have enough energy to help and mourn those within my sphere of influence, and suspect that my case is not unique.
Why claim the tax deduction and declare publicly your donation.
I'm not a member of the tin foil brigade, but the fewer persons who know how I choose to spend my time and/or money, the better. IMO donations shouldn't be deductable, and taxes shouldn't be spent socially, but thats MHO and I don't expect it will change anything. OTOH, I get all my (income) taxes back... most years and based on my giving practices(I don't track my exact giving) I give more than I pay in taxes(payroll) anyway.
The freedoms they espoused were universal and timeless.
Excapt for negros and women.
Well, except that black men and white women have voted in almost every election since 1776. Granted Universal Suffrage didn't come till later, but several of the various states allowed both women and black men to vote. The rules varied between states and localities, but contrary to popular myth women have never been univerally refused the right to vote in the US.

Accountable, not responsible.

It's all about context.

Under FCC Regulations, they may, however, they CHOOSE not to. Why do you think NYPD Blue airs after 10 on broadcast TV.

GAH, quote it right. Where the Men are men, So are the women and all the 14-year old girls are FBI agents.
Under both XP and 2k I have turned off the page file and checked to confirm that no paging file exists.
Because if the gram was defined as a usefully sized object aka kilogram, then the Kilogram would be ~= 1 tonne. which would lead to confusion.
so water at 25 to 1 of LSD applied to paper produces a moderately sized stringed instrument played with a bow?

Yeah, CE or "Common Era" aka AD. Just like BCE or before common era. or in plain english I'm going to use the same calendar, but ignore it's source.
