Mcgrew, I think you know the difference between a citizen paying the taxes that the law demands, and a citizen protesting high taxes-- especially if those taxes are being used for unrighteous purposes. There isn't anything in the bible I see that could justify tax avoidance, but Jesus himself called out the authorities for their unrighteousness. There are also many Christian outreach groups who offer support for homosexuals who may want to VOLUNTARILY change their behavior, but as you know these are vilified as "hate" organizations-- JUST FOR EXISTING.
You kinda have a view of "conservative" as a catchall label, like "idiot" or "fascist" now. To many Slashdotters, you would be a conservative because you are Christian and believe in personal responsibility.
Could you be more specific? Or are you just saying Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney are potential theocratic despots? In which case, I will feel free to ignore you and focus on comments made by people who aren't belligerent ideologues.
There doesn't have to be a crosswalk, as long as there isn't a sign prohibiting pedestrians (unless you have some sort of stupid town ordinance that would basically keep people from crossing the street to visit a neighbor).
So you're saying it's ineffective, because instead of deadening sound, it deadens vibration-- which is sound. Got it.
If sound deadener was ineffective, it wouldn't be used-- because you can't see it. Car manufacturers have trouble selling anything you can't see or hear as it is. Why would they spray on crap that didn't do anything, then advertise it? That would only work if no one took a test drive. They might do things that are ineffective in the long run, which is not immediately perceivable, but a loud car is immediately noticeable.
But Kirk was the captain of NCC-1701A, and considering that he landed a pilfered Klingon Bird of Prey in L.A., I really doubt Los Angeles would have intimidated him. And if you disagree, well, double dumbass on you.
Answer: prescientific people who believed that God took a personal interest in their work.
What does their religious belief have to do with it? The builders could have been a bunch of closet atheists for all we know. That foundation, as laughably inadequate as it may seem now, lasted for 800 years. Do we now build structures with the intent that they last 800 years?
Actually, the Enterprise would have been far, far longer than the Statue of Liberty is tall, and even a little longer than the Eiffel Tower. There's a link to a drawing in the article.
If you adjusted the color for one station/network so that flesh tones were natural, they were yellow on other channels because there was no agreed upon standard on which to base this and each network did its own thing.
There WAS a standard: NTSC color. It's just that most television sets did not stick to it because of technological limitations in CRTs. Once color-correction circuitry was added, this could be worked around.
Now that purely secular authorities are in charge, I'm sure we'd never see them enhance their power through the ignorance of the populace! 2,000+ page bills, anyone? "We need to pass the health care law so that you can see what is in it."
A gradual increase in literacy roughly coincided with books-- especially the bible-- being available in the vernacular (that is, not just "scholarly" languages like Greek and Latin).
Since you asked, the evidence that an iPad works is directly observable, while evolution requires-- if you'll excuse the layman's term-- "faith" in experts, as the cause and effect are not directly observable. Thanks for not taking it to an absurd level like some, who claim that creationist don't believe in gravity and the like.
I don't think bacteria are not going to become resistant to these plasma "flashlights" any more than they are going to become resistant to alcohol, lysol, or autoclaves. They wouldn't be bacteria any more.
No seriously, I'd like to know what the person who first arrives is supposed to do after they stop. Should they attempt to administer medical assistance, even if they are befuddled by a BAND-AID? Should they attempt to push disabled vehicles off the road, even if they may be about to burst into flame? Do you have to be arrested and prosecuted before they determine in court that you really couldn't do anything? This is some kind of "feel good" law that accomplishes nothing. Your claim that it hasn't been enforced just reinforces my claim that it is pointless... people don't obey laws that aren't enforced. If they stop, it's because it's right to do so when you think you can help. Claiming you don't know of it being abused is an argument from ignorance.

This one is not like the others. The others protect liberty, but this one confiscates property for no other reason than you have been too successful.

I won't feel sorry for you when the pawn shop only loans you $25 on your bike to buy your next straw man argument.

That man is an idiot. OK... why don't you guys dismount and walk across?
I imagine that if you ran into an uncooperative stop light, you could dismount and hit the pedestrian button instead.
Some do. Electronics also use energy; it's not "free".

"Green" is relative.
Excuse me, they landed it in San Francisco. Double dumbass on me, then.

Sorry, you are vrong. De nuclear wessel I boarded was a submarine!

They should actually name it "Cheap Seats". I think that's a brilliantly honest name!

Actually, the "Marshall" sound comes from an era before solid state amps. British amplifiers used different tubes from American ones.
I still have to get around to asking Scott Adams where the friggin' lamp was in "Voodoo Castle". My VIC-20 died before I could find the thing.
Sounds dangerously contradictory.
So what did you shoot last weekend? I came in only 3 over par, pretty sweet.
