That just depends on who you ask, doesn't it? I'm sure many fundamental Christians would agree with you but I think think some radical Islamist might twist that as "One of the many lies upon which most of the infadels belief system is based".
The WTF here is getting modded up without specifying what "other parts of the world" are. No, really: you're going to get stuck in two feet of snow in Europe, too.
Looks like you got a "-1, True" mod. Right now, there are 550 "former" NYC teachers who were placed in the "rubber room" for incompetence or even abuse of students. They still collect their full salaries, but they do NOTHING. They can't be fired, because the appeal process is nearly endless. But be heartened: the unions have agreed to end this. Are they going to streamline the process? Heck no! But they'll have the teachers do administrative tasks (that is, "busy work") in the schools while they're waiting.
I guarantee you that if the dog were to bite the postman twice, you would no longer get any mail until the situation was rectified (see: Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
Not to mention that the idea of people driving for hours, then charging up, then driving again 24 hours a day is a bit silly. Most houses built in the last 20 years have 200A service, but they almost never max it out and certainly not 24 hours a day.
In North America, 230V 30A and 40A circuits are pretty common for electric dryers and ranges. While charging your car in 6 minutes at home would be expensive, most people with at least 200A service could probably have a circuit that supports a 1-2 hour charge time installed with little trouble.
Seriously. This used to work fine when I was in school; except for some reason, Jim Nasium and Ben Dover only seemed to show up when a substitute teacher was in.
No one had to be a Puritan. The only irony here is that you're claiming that it's more free to prevent people from practicing their religion than to let them live a regimented life at their own will.
Other than jury duty, taxes are the only compulsory duty expected of U.S. citizens
No, we'll have to buy health insurance soon too.
but you're just plain mistaken if you think that liberals oppose freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and so on.
"Liberals" are the ones who prohibit young people from discussing religion in schools. "Liberals" are the ones who imprison people for "hate speech". "Liberals" are the ones who call those who wish to arm themselves criminals.
Liberals strongly support those freedoms. There is nothing in the liberal view on taxation and government budgeting which contradicts those freedoms.
We have the self-evident rights of life, liberty, and property. Actually, one of the amendments to the constitution even puts them in writing. High taxation infringes on the last two, and sometimes even the first.
What are you talking about? The President says the Republicans are blocking everything. Don't worry though-- he's asked the Latinos to "punish our enemies" so I expect the resistance will be eliminated soon.

You assume that your post is on-topic. I see nothing in it that indicates it is.
Only Roman Catholics believe in this doctrine.
Just send these guys in. You might need an English-to-Cajun dictionary, though.
I was severely nearsighted: up to a 5.75 diopter at one point. Presbyopia's slowly taking care of that, as I'm down to a 4.75 and still dropping. :-/
The Democrats took a majority in both houses in 2006. So you're saying that the economy tanked in 2006?
Remember when that awful singer Sanjaya lasted about three weeks too long on American Idol?
I don't either. Because I never watched that show. Ever. Ahem.

Catera? That was a small car based on an Opel and it has been gone over a decade!
Now 14 year olds text each other in the same room. Young people are still dumb :-P
So what happens if you can't pay what's essentially an entire year's rent in advance? Live on the street?
They may have been people who were HIV-positive, but were not showing any symptoms.
For what crime have you modded me down? Providing hard data to back up my assertion, or pointing out logical fallacies in the opposing argument?
I was going to use Styx or Poison, but I didn't want to be banned from Slashdot.
Aw, HELL no.

I'd say the terrorists were the ones who were blocking innocent unarmed people into houses and churches and lighting them up.

That's obvious.
Ironic, because he couldn't use his legs and did his best to hide the fact. I wonder whether the brain was working.
