  1. Re:"Muddy the crispness"? on Grey Lines Mar MacBook Air Displays · · Score: 1

    There's too much oxygen in the Air's air. You have to use the $1,024 SuperOxyLow cables to bleed it off.

    There is no barrier between church and state except by way of a metaphor contained in a letter from Jefferson to a Baptist church. The Constitution prohibits Congress from passing a law respecting an establishment of religion, which means it cannot favor one religion over another. It does not have the power to regulate religious belief, either. If a congressman or senator wishes to sponsor a bill based on his own religious beliefs, that is as valid as if it were based on his "gut feelings" or formally-educated opinion. Voting him out because you don't like that is your right.

    The conservatives are just as much for the welfare state as the libs...They just want their welfare state to have more guns, illegal abortions, and bad air.

    I didn't know that those are welfare items. I thought welfare meant being entitled to things you didn't pay for. Until a conservative claims "a gun in every pocket," I don't think we're looking at a conservative welfare state.

    Frail people are exactly the ones who most need effective arms. Unless Medicaid is going to start hiring bodyguards, easily handled weapons make more sense. I would recommend pepper spray, myself, but this is at least good for a laugh.

  5. Re:talking on mobile as dangerous as drunk driving on Study Confirms Mobile Phones Distract Drivers · · Score: 1

    I recommend we also implement this for pilots. Who knows how many airplane crashes have been caused by talking on the radio?

    I don't even live in Oz and I know that the authoritarian stupidity has been going on a long time. When you give up your rights to hold useful firearms because one nutcase went on a rampage (with guns he possessed illegally in the first place), it shows a lack of fortitude.

    The hyperbolic argument is rarely valid, as a supporter of this censorship could just as easily claim, "If it protects one child, it will be worth it!"

    With current products being named "Lame" and "Gimp," sounds like old-school is the new new-school.

    I'm waiting to buy until they release the "Kofi Annan Nepotism" expansion.

    This idea was invented by Shampoo.

    Yes, let's rid the world of poisonous western ideas, like capitalism and democracy!

    Come on! I can't wait to be Neville Chamberlain in 1938. I'm sure if I give Hitler all of Czechoslovakia instead of just the Sudetenland, we'll have "peace in our time!"

    I know this sounds unbelievable, but "Chinese Democracy," which unfortunately does not come with weed, was finally released last month.

    Maybe they should ask that Birkenstock-wearing guy down the street who's always munching on Cheetos. I bet he knows how to germinate some weed.

    Yup. Fortunately, knowledge is the remedy.

    One of the definitions of "amah" or "almah" is "maiden." Ambiguous, but not incorrect.
    The absurdity the RC church insists on perpetuating is that Mary never had intercourse with her husband.

    The OP was about Wendy's hamburgers, so I find it important to note that not only does Wendy's not use microwaves or heat lamps, they use only fresh (not frozen) patties. That's why I go there if I really want a cheap burger.

    Guess which one geeks are more likely to get their hands on?

    BTW, silicone is used as a sealant and makes a good lubricant, too. You know, for hinges and stuff. Yeah... hinges.
