A number of breeds have reputations for intelligence, and the border collie is certainly one. Others I'm aware of are Doberman pinscher, German shepherd, standard French poodle. An Australian shepherd is said to be almost uncanny in its intelligence.
The submitter appears to have some issue with the League of Women's Voters, an organization whose only crime is buying the arguments of the groups who have been tainted by Diebold money.
The ironies here are that Diebold is corrupt has been accused of favoring Bush, whereas the LoWV claims to be a "good government" group and tends to support left-leaning candidates.
The least likely is that the triangle provides some
loading on the tower antenna, improving its current distribution - more current flow high up on the tower.
The more likely is that the added vertical antennas are a new antenna array for a different purpose than the original tower. They are likely to be operating at a higher frequency than the tower.
There is so much good music available in so many different genres that you couldn't hear it all if you listened continuously and never heard each song more that once. But to make a sale, the buyer must like it and be acutely aware of it. That awareness can only come from extraordinary quality or repetition. The companies are buying repetition. Merely being good isn't enough to make a sale.
Nonsense. The hard disk on my Win 98 machine clicks wildly for about 30 seconds after the desktop is displayed. I can't do anything until that stops and the hourglass goes away.
My Jeep could have 50+ more hp if I wanted it too, but it would take the whole tank of gas to get to the end of my driveway.
Even discounting your exaggeration, you are wrong. Power increases can often be made by adjusting parameters that apply when the pedal is mashed to the floor. Those parameters do not apply to part-throttle acceleration or cruising, and hence do not apply to general economy.
Sez you. There is nothing in the concept of life that implies the concept of death. Death is the failure of life.
Death is not bad and life is not good.
The very concept of good and bad, when used without an explicit context, is life and death. Good is what is good for my life. Bad is what is bad for my life and hastens my death.
draft and military service should be required from the old not the young.
This is wrong both morally and practically. Morally, it is wrong to draft anyone. Practically, the old are comparatively feeble. Also practically, an old person who doesn't want to be drafted is far more likely to be successful in dodging a draft or exacting terrible revenge if he is drafted.
A species that decides to selfishly cling to life will soon become extinct.
This is so silly that it hardly deserves a reply. For an advanced species such as homo sapiens that requires so much careful long-term care to last long enough to produce a family, selfishly clinging to life is the only way to prevent extinction. Unselfish self-destruction is extinction.
considering the fact that if people don't die of old age anymore, and as such the earth's resources will be depleted, and logic deducts anarchy will take over, survival of the fittest kicks in
Does the phrase non sequitur mean anything to you? No death from old age does not imply resource depletion. Resource depletion does not imply anarchy, it could easily (and wrongly) be said to imply totalitarianism. Survival of the fittest (properly understood) is a tautology, and is not implied by anarchy.
Your idiot biblical references aside, there are reliable references to men in their 70's fathering children about 2500 years ago. Women are more limited, but as general health improves the age of menopause is increasing slowly. Many women aged 50 are still fertile these days.
Have you been paying attention to recent population trends? The best estimates of human population now predict a peak before the middle of the century. Population declines thereafter.
Inferior non-OEM ink corroded the print-head of my Canon BJC-600. In addition to bad ink, the metal part of the cartridge was plain steel instead of stainless. I'll take the Canon part.
The difference is mostly taxes. In Europe and Canada, the government is much more of a thief than in the U.S.. It is not reasonable to gripe that we complain too much because thieves only steal a small amount from us.
I recently read that gasoline prices in Venezuela are much lower than in the U.S.
I've read conjectures that dinosaurs had distributed brains. If some control were in a place other than the head, reduced blood in the head would not necessarily lead to loss of control.
In a scientific context, "theory" should be used to mean "scientifically accepted explanation." If the explanation isn't accepted yet, it should be called a "hypothesis."

Please learn the definitions of words before you use them. Sentient: responsive to or conscious of sense impressions.
Sentience is far below intelligence and is possessed by most macroscopic animals.

1. When a legally set threshold is met.
2. At random to keep the system honest.
3. When there is suspicion of fraud and the challenger can convince a court to order a recount.
4. Whenever the results are challenged, provided the challenger pays expenses if he still loses.

The idea that the murder rate will increase because of increased lifespan is contradicted by the fact that most murders are committed by young males.

When human population peaks ~2050 C.E. there will be about 4 acres of land per person.

My sister has a 1992 Cadillac that does this. It lies.
No sand in Manhatten. Whole island concrete. (Apologies to Stan Freeberg.)
The variety is named radiodurans.

Science also contains lots of individual facts that have not even been organized into hypotheses, let alone theories.
In a scientific context, "theory" should be used to mean "scientifically accepted explanation." If the explanation isn't accepted yet, it should be called a "hypothesis."
