Actually, India has far more men than women because of a selective abortion epidemic, if you will. This is why they don't allow couples to use sonograms to determine the sex of the fetus.
Well, claiming that a man's opinion on abortion is irrelevant (just because men don't give birth, I assume) is a fallacious argument. This is like claiming I can't have an opinion on my government's foreign policy because I'm not a diplomat.
What were the handgun-related homicides before putting bans in place? It's not a comparison of USA versus Europe, but of europe pre-ban to Europe post-ban. After all, many lawless countries have anti-firearm laws on the books-- if you want to play with red herrings.
So what are the Democrats' reasons for demonizing their opponents? You know, saying they're too old (even though the Democratic VP is only six years younger), too rich (even though Obama is richer than McCain), too inexperienced (even though said Republican VP is at least as experienced as the Democratic Presidential candidate), etc.
Not only did you not refute his claim with actual facts (someone else gave numbers from fueleconomy.gov, for example), but you claimed he was defending SUVs when he never mentioned a single SUV. FAIL.
The EPA MPG tests have been modified twice since 1975 to be more stringent; the latest was in 2007. 1975 ratings cannot be compared head-to-head with 2008. Also, you gave numbers for 1985 model. Finally, despite all that, you would unwise to get a 1985 model thinking it's more efficient for the work you have to do, as the 2008 model has more power and safety features.
The Peeters report flies in the face of reality, in which gains in jet engine efficiency over the last 40 years have been astounding. Contrast those gains with the popular Cadillac Escalade and similar SUV's whose mileage per gallon is often measured in single digits, and whose efficiencies have gone in the opposite direction.
Isn't this an obvious straw man? Why compare a commercial aircraft to SUVs, the least efficient vehicles on the road? Even worse, one of the worst offenders is cited, instead of equally advanced technology like the hybrid Tahoe that carries eight passengers and gets at least 25 MPG. Also, the assertion that SUV fuel economy has gone "in the opposite direction" seems absurd; while more models of large SUVs are available now than in the 80s, an SUV that's equivalent in size to a 1985 Blazer now gets better fuel mileage even though it has more horsepower and better towing capacity.
All of our financial problems come from both unethical capitalists and socialists treating the economy like a zero-sum game. You don't have to take from other people to be successful, and claiming that high taxes are okay because the rich guy's still better off than you is a fallacy. Taking other people's money is stealing, and government makes a lousy Robin Hood.
Yes, every democratic government since WWII has run tighter budgets than republicans.
I didn't know the USA was a dictatorship. I thought we had a legislative branch which actually created legislation before sending it to the executive to sign. You might want to research who controlled Congress under various presidents before making your conclusions.
Pepsi Max contains ginseng, while Coke Zero does not. Both products also contain acesulfame potassium in addition to the aspartame. Also, can you tell me what the "natural and artificial flavors" are?
Being a top Constitutional scholar may not automatically make you Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt, but it's a damn site better than what his opponents offer in the way of qualification.
This is ironic, because both of those presidents have been rightfully criticized for overstepping their constitutional bounds.
We cannot let someone who says that he can't use a computer because of alleged physical handicaps become President (maybe he never heard of Stephen Hawking).
I'll be sure to tell the governor of New York that he needs to step down because he probably can't use a computer very well either; or drive, see the billboards in Times Square, watch television... he must be really out of touch.
Will the president after the "Hoover" also preside (in multiple terms) over a lingering depression ended only by a costly war, and start divers entitlement programs supported by onerous taxes? Will he not only escape any indictment for his economic incompetence, but rather be lauded as one of our greatest leaders?

Psst... the more temperate states like PA and DE are also in the northeast.
We won't speak of NJ. Crap...

That would be an "ex post facto" law-- probably unconstitutional.
It would have failed if the company's name was actually "Macdonalds", which it is not.
No, instead we keep busy eliminating everyone else's dictatorships.

That's because even that wasn't enough for China. They jailed the little old ladies who merely asked for permission to protest.

Because it doesn't compress in RAR?
Seems like an LCD plate cover that goes completely opaque when electrified would do the trick.
That sounds rather clumsy to me. How about just mounting them on a rotating drum?

That's because Toyota drivers are eunuchs.

The Pentium P54 had the FP bug, not the PPro. Your geek card has been revoked.
Congratulations; you found one moderate in a sea of Rob Reiners, Keith Olbermanns, and Michael Moores.
