Yes, because water tastes just like Pepsi. I'm sure that everyone's drinking soft drinks because they're refugees from Idiocracy and don't realize they can drink plain water.
If an individual wants to buy a cheaper, lighter car without air bags and side-impact beams, they ought to be able to.
Not in any nation with universal health care. A car like this will protect passengers just well enough to cripple them in an accident, and require hundreds of thousands of dollars of care and rehabilitation. The government needs to keep health care costs down, so we either need cars that are very safe, or motorcycles that pretty much result in a fatality in any serious accident.
I bet a lot of people said the same thing when they stopped putting fins on cars.
Not really, because big fins were a fad that only lasted about 7 years. This car looks radically different: teardrop shape, wheels in fenders set apart from the body, and extremely low ride height.
Nice straw man. The Bible's message is, over and over, that you should do the right thing because it's the right thing. Doing the right thing is not a requirement to avoid butt-poking because not one could ever be perfect. The Qur'an teaches something closer to what you imagine.
If you believe that somehow your deity is not affected by the laws of formal logic
Who believes that? Christian apologists depend on logic to make their arguments. Belief is based on the idea that we may not quite know everything about how the universe works-- which is absolutely the case.
If there was no religion the Library of Alexandria would still be standing.
Well, that's a bit presumptuous. Lots of things can happen due to neglect or purely secular war. Besides, Julius Caesar had already trashed the library (probably accidentally) over 400 years earlier: we aren't sure exactly was left in the Serapeum that Theodosius ordered destroyed. It was supposed to be a temple; one wouldn't expect it to be a library and thus even if it contained secular writings ignorance is a perfectly reasonable explanation for their demise.
For at least the last 200 years religion has only been yanking the brakes on the science train, so for today it would be safe to say that with religious authority out of the picture, intellectual advancement would flourish.
I didn't realize that the Roman Catholic church or Christian fundamentalists were blocking the investment of free enterprise into medical research. Oh, maybe you were referring to using public tax money to subsidize morally questionable research? Yeah, that's a "problem".
Tycho Brahe created the Tychonic system, which had a stable earth around which the sun and moon orbited the earth, while the the other planets orbited the sun. This appeared no better a model than heliocentrism, as both were equivalent geometrically. It assumed that the Earth was fixed in space because the stars did not appear to move, which of course was proven wrong once we had good enough telescopes to detect parallax. Kepler's system fit much better because he used elliptical orbits.
As of 2007, the UK has the world's highest per capita of violent crime. This is despite the fact that they don't seem to think violence against children matters-- they don't report robberies against children under 16.
For example, remember all the anti-France hatred, because they dared to question our information?
They didn't question the intelligence; they had no conflicting intelligence on which to base such a position. They questioned our intent to invade.
I wonder how many people there are who now believe that Iraq had no WMD, but still have a distrust of France because they voted against us.
I distrust France because their leaders are incompetent, their people have few principles, and the country relies on the stability provided by the UK, Germany, and USA to ensure its own integrity.
Actually, 47 percent of households pay NO income tax. In fact, many of these get a credit back. That being said, we have double and triple-dipping in the form of state and local income tax, sales tax, excise fees, property tax, head taxes, etc. So, I guess you're right after all.

Did you replace everything with the same stuff, but containing sucrose instead? You were probably just experiencing a sugar crash.
Could gorillas and snakes be far behind? How cold are your winters, anyway?
To be fair, the serving size on the bottle is 8 ounces. No one's making you drink the entire bottle at once.

Too bad the NHTSA won't either. In addition to the total lack of safety, can you imagine anyone over 40 getting into those narrow, low-slung doors?
He was fine in a little movie called "The Matrix". Shame they never made a sequel.
Make a guy with a flag walk in front of them and we're all set.
Michael Moore is definitely a joke.
Tell that to the people who don't think enforcing our immigration laws is important.
Not rectangular. Bigger than a Nomad. Lame.
So anyone who says he's against rape is a rapist?

TL;DR explanation: please stop repeating lies.

Are you being stupid and unscientific if you believe in Augustus Caesar, who you only know from historical writings?

Sports are education. And this is coming from a guy who barely made varsity track in HS and is far from a jock.
