Lets see...Josephus was born AFTER the supposed death of Yeshua, and was referencing the writings of early Christians and those who wrote about them. He is less valid a source as "Gone with the Wind" is regarding the US Civil War!
So students don't have a fee for use of the school network/internet access? If they do...then you ARE the ISP and should therefore act like the one YOU use at your home.
Depends on the number at each age. If he had one 7 years ago, waited 3 years and then he and his wife had triplets. More believeable this way as it means the computer geek had sex only twice vs a potential 4 plus times!
Really? In the case you quoted, the city was in a no win position. Promote only Whites and the minorities file suit. Cancel the promotion and the Whites file suit. The latter appeared to be the safer of the two options for the city. No promotions would be overturned by a court or no additional promotions would need to be given if ordered by the court. IN this case, the court decided NOT the city council.
And without seeing what the promotion criteria used by the fire department was, it is hard to say that sloth was the reason non-Whites did nto make the promotion list. I have seen plenty of test given out that were rigged to assist one group over another. If the requirements included extra points for being fluent in more than one language, many USians would fail, but 1st generation USaians(whose parents are immigrants) would likely rise to the top. But is that requirement really needed to fight fires? And so on...
Civil rights protect everyone...as born out by the very case you cite! The courts determined those who made the promotion list should be promoted and to not do so would be a violation of their civil rights. If the court had ruled the other way, then you might have a point.
Again, you make claims that are completely false.....making bigoted comments is protected by BOTH items you bring up. SPEECH is a freedom we each have. Any ACTION taken that DEPRIVES you of a right is a violation. My speech ridiculing ANYONE or ANY religious or non-religious belief is PROTECTED and RIGHT under both the US Constitution and the UN Human Rights charters, etc.
It appears you read something and think you know what it means and then spout off about it. Sorry, dude....I've worked in this area of the law for the past 15 years. The worst case scenario would require the speech to be made in a workplace and then the management has a duty to address anything that impacts the work environment. Outside of work, however.....it is fair game.
And you are a fucking moron...the Civil Rights act protects your from being discriminated against in finding shelter, a job, etc. It does NOT protect you or your religious beliefs from criticism by others. THAT right is protected in the US Constitution, under the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights in the "Free Speech" clause.
The UN's declaration of rights includes the rights of Free Speech and belief....this means you should be able to believe whatever you want without fear of oppression by your government, and I have the right to mock you for your beliefs...again without fear of oppression by my government.
You sound like the typical "poor Christians getting oppressed" whiner when the truth is you can't stand the idea that others also get to express their beliefs and opinions which include disdain for your beliefs. Go whine to the ACLJ and see how successful you are in a law suit. I'll talk to the ACLU to assist in defending my 1st Amendment rights against your claims.
Did you read your own link? It was NOT a Libel lawsuit, and was very specifically against a teacher (as a representative of the government, not as an individual) and was for a specific comment that was ruled as violating the 1st Amendment (specifically the Establishment clause) rights of the student. And the judge also ruled that a similar comment did NOT violate the 1st Amendment as it was connected to the subject the teacher taught (History).
So in summary....I believe you are a fucking moron. (no libel risk...opinion is always protected for an individual), and the person you responded to is NOT proven wrong by your link as your link has nothing to do with insults per se but with the actions of a government official (a school teacher in this case) being hostile to religion with no secular reason for the comment.
Kill rates are attributable to the mass protecting the operator, not the behaviour of either one. Large vehicles have lower deaths of occupants than smaller vehicles. As stated before...correlation does not equal causation. Especially in this case.
Really? Are you absolutely certain about that? I mean the Road Tax for my cars I paid yearly had nothing to do with maintaining the roads? While the council tax is used partly in towns (villages, cities, etc), the road tax is collected by the government to help pay for the roads (especially the motorways, but some is used for the local roads as well).
Cyclists don't pay road tax, so it is understandable the drivers' sense of entitlement. Not correct, but understandable.
except OK is not an acronym..it is an abbreviation of okay (in this usage. It could also be a reference to the state of Oklahoma). An acronym is made up of the letters of a series of words/names (such as IANAL or TANSTAAFL or RTFA), vs. an abbreviation which is a shortening of a word (such as vs. abbr. PhD, Dr. Mr. etc.)
Actually, Lawyers do bill in fractions of an hour. If they bill an hour for 30 seconds, then they can be sanctioned (by the court or their bar association).
A: Yes, in tenths-of-an-hour, or every 6 minutes. If a task takes 6 minutes or less, we bill 1/10th of an hour for that. If it takes 7 - 12 minutes, itâ(TM)s 2/10thâ(TM)s of an hour, and so forth. We always round up. We also describe the purpose or subject matter of each task in our billing entries, so you can see how and why the work related to your case. We also bill in single-task format, so you can see the amount of time we actually spent on each task in the legal bill. We give you that breakdown.
Or some idiot ran out into the road and forced the driver to yield to the jay walker (or face vehicular assault/homicide charges). T
here could have been plenty of room to pass through the intersection when someone blocks you suddenly (including a person not yielding to the oncoming traffic when making a right turn forcing you to brake and stop).
Again, unless there are 360 degrees of photos to show the whole situation pre and post the drive being in the intersection when the light is red, the photos are or limited factual use.
"My problems were in not drinking, getting high, and playing cards."
No kidding..the first 2...never a problem in my experience as a 325x1 (which later became 2A5X5/2A0X1)...but not playing cards? I thought that was a 623/797 requirement to get to 5 level!
Actually.."That's Unpossible!" said they worked in the automotive repair industry. This means "That's Unpossible!" could work in a car parts warehouse or the service counter of Pep-boys or even at Jiffy-Lube. None of these, despite all being in the automotive repair industry, requires a person to be a automotive mechanic.
TiVo and other DVRs will NOT cease to work. You will simply need to use a converter of some type for the signal in. I currently use my TiVo with DirecTV...DTV box to TiVo. The TiVo controls the DTV box....I will see no difference on Feb 19, 2009 to the service I get today.
Currently the US does have socialized medicine. It is called the emergency room. And those without insurance use that government paid resource.
National Healthcare would cost less than the current way the US handles those without insurance.
And, you can get private health insurance in the UK, Canada and other nations which have national healthcare systems. Of course, because it is not needed, the insurance actually has to be good value (read less expensive than in the US) and you can choose the option for catastrophic coverage and use the National system for preventative care.
I have experience in both the US and British systems of health care. Never had a problem seeing a doctor in Britain and have found the US system requires me to plan ahead with being sick or ill (and I have very good coverage and have the added use of the VA as well if I were truly desperate) in comparison.
It would not be the same...the Spanish and the natives are telling people to "speak the language Damnit!", only wanting to be left alone. And it only the latest culture to arrive that is pushing the issue of a singular language. The natives had no issue with multiple languages being spoken by different groups and learned to do business quite well with each other despite the linguistic barriers. However, the Anglofied who are making such demands (may or many not be Anglo-Saxon in ancestry but declaring that English is the language to be used by all) want everyone else to cater to them. If you don't want to shop there, don't. You are voting with your wallet in this case. However, I can go to almost any major city in the industrialized world and find enclaves of people from almost every other industrialized country and never have to learn the local language.
The hostility existed long before the balkanization. I speak fluent English (and was educated in England) and yet I have met many people who react weirdly because I do not speak with an accent or only Spanish. I have lived in the South-West a few times over both my father's and my military careers, and the reaction to Hispanic people in the 60s, 70s, and 80s is very similar to that of today. And, as can be seen throughout the history of the US, groups tend to isolate themselves into their own communities when that occurs. Sometimes it is externally created (ala Chinatowns), sometimes it is done to be comfortable (aka Little Italy) because of he hostility shown by the "majority".
When this happens, the "majority" is treated as the outsider, thereby creating a power shift, even if only in that small part of the city. That said, I have never had an issue doing business in any of these neighbourhoods, despite being the blue-eyed White guy....it is all in how you approach it. Of course, I've never really had a problem in any country shopping/dining/drinking without any of the local language(s).
Well...BEFORE the English speaking population arrived, Arizona was primarily Spanish speaking (before that, there were a few differing Tribal languages). So, the Spanish speakers could be simply returning to the language used long before America came to the South West.
As for not being able to speak English...you would be surprised at the number of us that are Hispanic that can speak it but choose not to.
So you are saying that you are refusing to learn the defacto language of that part of Phoenix? You are not prevented from doing business there, you simply refuse to do business there and refuse to learn the language used to be able to.
And based on your use of the written English language, perhaps you should cease posting until you fully grasp its concepts.
For example, the proper names of a language (English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic) are capitalized in English (even in the bastardized version used here in the US). "dunno" is NOT an English word. "Don't know" is proper English.

And I think you fail to realize that those rights existed prior to those books being written. (see code of Hammurabi for just one example).
And the ONE reference you give is to someone that is been criticized by his peers due to his work being poorly researched. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Philippe_Rushton
Same as the Bell Curve was refuted by the authors peers (one such example here http://press.princeton.edu/titles/5877.html )
