Mcgrew, you stepped in it this time. So you're saying that it's more laudable to wager your life and health for money than your reputation, money, and possessions for money? To put it another way, if you go down this path then we start sounding like the "four Yorkshiremen" bit and only the guy who worked 29 hours a day and was murdered by his parents could possibly be worthy of his wages. Not very Luke 10:7-y.
If you take the writer's advice, you'll fire Steve Jobs as Apple did. They nearly failed. Hilariously, the author cites Steve Jobs as an example of a CEO that wasn't "afraid to show brilliant jerks the door."
You haven't had chips fried properly with good potatoes. It's not a stretch for me to speculate that, being you were in a communist country where quality of life was not valued by the state. And I'm curious: what was the "secret" ingredient?
I'm pretty sure peanuts come with their own oil. I also believe that "peanut butter" without a little molasses in it isn't peanut butter, but that's just me.
Well, I might agree that leasing a car is stupid for most people, but that's not the same as RENTING one, which is a necessity for most airline travel.
Me and a couple of mates once went to the Hirschgarten on a Sunday morning and went home when they closed it. I drank 9 liters of beer, ate 2 chickens, a couple of those giant pretzels with a cartload of Obatzta(a Bavarian cheese specialty) and a Steckerlfisch(a mackerel)
And here the Europeans tell me that all the fatasses are in the USA.
Exactly what kind of mucking foron does it take to summarily claim that US food is uniformly bad? Food in the USA is the world's food. People of all nations brought it here, and besides recent immigrants we have second, third, and fourth generations maintaining the craft. If you can't find good food here, you won't find it anywhere.
Let's give truth its due: Carter only signed off on legalizing home brewing, which certainly helped craft brewers get started by allowing them to experiment at home without a state license. However, since the end of prohibition, alcohol regulation has always been primarily under the control of the states.
Not only do I believe that your estimate is off, but when there are far more entrants than prizes to be given, how is the number of entrants from a particular region relevant?
Because there are no maintenance costs or risks for a geostationary satellite with a tether that is 100 km long.
How many more Chernobyl and Fukushima "incidents" before we learn that we are not smart enough to safely run nuclear reactors.
But we're smart enough to put a satellite with a tether in geostationary orbit and not have the tether break or parts some flying down and killing people periodically.
So instead of solving the storage-related base load problem, you want to have an electric grid that operates no better than in the third world? Doesn't sound very smart, and doesn't work well.
Not to mention that there are not "~470 members of Congress", but exactly 535, and only the 435 members of the House of Reps have two year terms. For senators, it's six.
So all I need to do to make my beliefs above reproach is to threaten violent action whenever they are criticized. Thanks for helping set back both religious freedom and free speech a few centuries.
There were Christian fundamentalists at Waco and the Branch Davidians who thought that God wanted them to prepare for the end of days.
They were all Branch Davidians at the compound in Waco, Texas. Branch Davidians cannot be classified as "Christian fundamentalists" since a large part of their beliefs are not fundamental; that is, they are not based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. Also, note that Koresh and his followers had not initiated a terrorist attack on any kind. Based on information that Koresh had a meth lab and a bunch of illegally obtained firearms, the ATF attacked the compound. They did this even knowing that the Waco group had been warned, thus guaranteeing bloodshed. I'm not saying this to blame the US government, but to point our that NO, Koresh's group did nothing like storming an embassy and setting it ablaze.

That's the ticket!

First you have to prove that television is the mental equivalent of 30 pounds of bricks.
Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

No, that's just all you see. Drive up I-81 in the eastern US and you see diners and family restaurants at every other exit. It's not just chains.
I'm pretty sure peanuts come with their own oil. I also believe that "peanut butter" without a little molasses in it isn't peanut butter, but that's just me.
Thanks for proposing to surrender a few more of our freedoms to the state. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for adults too, so how about beer limits?
Well, I might agree that leasing a car is stupid for most people, but that's not the same as RENTING one, which is a necessity for most airline travel.
Summarily dismissing a claim solely due to its origin is never a sign of logic.
Thus proving the fallacy of "Argumentum ad ignorantum" of which you were accused.

When are we going to stop modding up these weak trolls? No joke, people.
Not really. Have you smelled a clown lately?

Why not? They were already using public funds to help train advocates for illegal immigration.
Poe was real, his characters were not. Your analogy is fallacious. Please stop digging a hole; your argument is lost.
