My girlfriend and I were wondering who exactly the Holy Ghost is. I mean, it's not God, and not his son Jesus, so who the fuck is it? I decided it was God's imaginary friend.
I feel sorry for you. May god have mercy on your soul. You should not blaspheme the holy spirit. I hope for your sake that you are an atheist because if you are not then you just doomed yourself.
Whether or not I am an atheist, I have not "doomed" myself. If there is a god and he is that petty, I have no desire to meet him, much less spend eternity with him. My god will have a sense of humor.

I'll help you out here: Mormons believe that some dude found some magical gold plates that explained all sorts of appendices to the bible, but for some reason said dude lost the plates so there is no evidence; you should have tons of wives and kids, wait only one wife now, but you have many in the afterlife; blacks can't make it to the best part of heaven, oh, wait, now they can; and special underwear gives you magic powers and makes you closer to God.
Of course, ymmmv, but I've never seen so much hate and vitriol directed at any president as what Obama has had to endure. Endless anti-Obama bumper stickers, even after he has no more terms to run for! And of course all the endless propaganda about how he's a secret muslim out to destroy the country. I find that the liberals tend more to argue the policy, whereas the cons do the name-calling and conspiracy theories. I never pay attention to how many friends I have on FB, so I can't say how many cons de-friended me. I don't defriend people for having a different point of view, though I may hide them if I just can't take the constant stream of hate.
In my experience, the reason for this is that conservatives push out a lot of hate in their postings and liberals don't. No one wants to read a lot of nasty name-calling.
But there are competitors in the flat-screen market. These headlights can easily be proprietary, blocking aftermarket replacement parts. And even if there are aftermarket replacements, the market won't be large enough to drive down price - each car maker will have incompatible parts, probably even model-specific.
On the other hand it's quite likely that the technology required to build satellites that can observe Earth is remarkably similar to the technology required to build satellites to observe other planets. There's a huge amount of overlap; why wouldn't you want them to do it on Earth first? It'd be cheaper and faster, for a start, along with providing useful information. What's the downside?
The downside is that the shitload of evidence showing climate change is real would grow. That is a downside to Cruz and his minions.
That could be said for any investigative technique. Simpletons said the same about CCTV but now no sane person would deny the benefits of video surveillance. It *works*. It helps *reducing crime*. Those are cold facts. We need to slay that last sacred cow and make another step towards a safer society. And it will happen, whether you want it or not.
I'm not arguing against DNA testing, moron. I'm arguing against compulsory collection of DNA samples from every resident of the country as the OP claimed that there was "absolutely no reason whatsoever to oppose this." If you want to compare to CCTV, that would be equivalent to requiring every resident to have a camera recording their movements 24/7.
If the governments had the courage to do it, every citizen or resident of the country should be compelled to give DNA samples. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for any ordinary citizen to protest or oppose this. Indeed any opposition should be viewed as a reason for suspicion.
Because of course there is absolutely no chance for abuse, such as DNA planting, or error, such as cross-contamination.
My point is that the tablet manufacturer could require the bluetooth headset to prevent people from looking like idiots if that was there concern, as you posited.
Surely the record depends on the expressiveness of the instruction set of the chip you are programming for. With a suitably advanced chip I could implement chess in 1 byte. It would be an instruction that looks like this:
JMP CHESS.
and an instruction that implements chess.
One whole byte! You slacker. You could implement this as one bit - have it be the only instruction.
If you can't post an image of Muhammad, how does anyone even know what the hell he looks like? I could post an image of a random Arab and it might look enough like the prophet to be banned, but how the fuck would I know? How the fuck would FB know?
I think this sounds like a great thing, however I do have to question why it took so long for him to do this. How long have Obama and Holder been in office? Now, finally, when we're in Obama's last two lame-duck years, Holder decides to finally do something useful?
So yeah, it's great that he's finally fixed this horrible problem, but he sure could have done it earlier.
He did this because of all the press it's been getting lately - it probably wasn't on his radar before that.

Mormonism is to stupid to even comment on...

Your wikipedia link doesn't specify the nuttiness of the populace.

If you de-friend someone (or large groups of someones), their stories are basically not going to be on your feed in the first place, and liberals have been shown to be more likely to de-friend conservatives over political differences than conservatives de-friend liberals http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/10/21/liberals-are-more-likely-to-unfriend-you-over-politics-online-and-off/

The Winning Cartoon featured Jesus sucking Mohammad's cock.

Way too complicated a solution for the problem. "Sorry, sir your headlight is not working. That'll be $2700 to fix it.
Some politicians actively engage in deceit and manipulation.
I hereby nominate you for understatement of the century.
18 years is extreme considering this is a case of media Distribution Rights over what should be termed "Regret Porn".
Um, no. Please RTFA or at least RTFS. The sentence is for the EXTORTION and IDENTITY THEFT, not for the porn.
I'm dumping mine immediately. That'll tip the scale in my favor!

Another Democrat blaming bush for Democratic shortcomings!
God damn, grow some adult pants and take responsibility for your decisions.
No, he's pointing out that there was no Fox News outrage when Bush did it.
A Russian named Drinkman? Wow, that's stereotyping. Hate to be pulled over for suspected DUI, also.

The highest by any publicly traded company, you mean.
Well, yeah. Private companies don't tell you how much they make.

No it's to avoid people looking like idiots with a tablet against their head.
No, if that were the case, they could just require a bluetooth headset to make calls with the tablet.
