The US government is so adept at nudging us into the desired behavior with taxes and mandates, that they forgot that it's perfectly constitutional for them to decide what will be legal tender currency.
The Treasury acts like counterfeiting is a great threat to the value of the dollar, when the Federal Reserve and the US government are the greatest threat. The dollar is fiat currency, and with the recession, there's NOTHING behind it-- yet Congress keeps spending. They just don't like the competition from the counterfeiters.
Every time someone hears that I am not a Christian, the first thing they say is "oh, are you an atheist?" as if that is the only other option. When I tell them that 80% of the entire planet is not Christian, their response is "Well, everyone is in America", which is obviously not true and obviously saying that no one outside of America matters anyway.
That doesn't really pass the smell test. They really think there are no Jews, Muslims, or Hindus here? I meet them every day.
Trust me, you have not done enough research to back up what you assert. First of all, there are no "contradictions" in the Bible that have not been addressed by theologians. Second, most Bible translations are from the original language. We don't have the original texts, but if that was a criterion then we would have to discard nearly every manuscript from antiquity. They're on papyrus or parchment-- it doesn't survive forever. Finally, all the rest of your comments are mere speculation-- again, because you don't know the fact and are merely extrapolating in the way you see fit. I'd recommend doing more research if you're really interested in debating these kinds of topics.
We didn't even have to wait for the first one to warm up. One of the copiers had documents still on the copier glass, from the Buffalo, N.Y., Police Sex Crimes Division.
The library went to a lot of trouble to prove that their records from the 18th century are probably a bit inaccurate. It could have been as simple as a star-struck librarian forgetting to update the register.
Yes, because one American on Slashdot didn't read an article, it is indicative of all Americans. You're the one who has a problem, Captain Generalization. By the way, the article mentions that one of the perps is an Indian citizen, so how does he get a pass?
It's already given that the US dollar is going to be dropped as a major trading commodity, after that maybe Glen Beck will really have something to cry about.
He's been warning people about this for a long time, so your criticism of him is a bit ironic. Maybe if you actually watched a show or read a transcript instead of getting your information from the Daily Kos, you would know that.
That's not quite true. If you did something that would appear to be evidence you were involved in the commission of the crime (things like being in a certain place at a certain time, or saying certain things), that's what the 5th Amendment is meant to protect.
You've never been to a TEA party rally, and you've never heard any such nonsense from anyone there-- unless they're plants, like that idiot leftist teach who wanted to show up and shout moronic stuff to give libertarians a bad name.
No, because you can also willfully incriminate yourself. A clause against self-incrimination would mean that doing things like confessing of one's own accord or leading officers to the place where you hid the body would be inadmissible.

This is simply not true in the USA. You can accept any currency, or no currency.

Two dads or two moms?

It's like a DIE fighter for your pocket.
No, but it makes it irrelevant to a discussion about religious intolerance.
I don't entirely agree with your post, but I can say it makes one think. Virtual +1 Insightful.

Ha ha, bacon. Sounds a bit liberal for a Muslim.

Don't you think China should have learned from our example? There is no excuse.
"Parallel printer cable", because it plugs into a PC's parallel port on one end and a printer on the other.
No hard drive needed-- just stupidity.
Sir, you win the internet.
Why we insist on burning our food in our vehicles is beyond me.

I don't know what your problem is. I'm perfectly capable of listening to Geddy Lee shred atrocious bass lines while taking in a good novel.
By the way-- you're a douche.
It's a bit late, but this reminds me of "Strange Days"-- and the recorder didn't help Brigitte Bako.

There's already a hole in the middle of a DVD, gramps! Whadda ya gonna do, punch another hole and call it a Blu-hair ray disk?
No one swims along the Jersey shore? Mmmkay... Must have been hallucinating about Island Beach and Seaside, then.
