Cuba a strategic threat to the U.S.? Dude, Cuba was a threat to the US for about 10 minutes. Did you know that countries can now launch missles form within their own borders an hit the U.S.?
With phrases like "She knows that my younger brother has to endure strict parental control software that was installed on his machine without his consent" and "My parents would probably be able to guess non-abstract passwords" you are clearly trying to undermine your parents. I know that children, though you don't give your age, usually think that they know better than their parents, but guess what: it isn't usually true! I hope that your parents are smart enough to take your sisters computer away if you succeed in locking them out.
Something like this happened to me. Reading an article about how Trader Vic was about to donate a sculpture of Smiledon to UC Berkeley, before I got to the part where it was to be displayed, my brain decided it was going to be placed outside of the Life Sciences building, so my conscious mind read 'life sciences building'. However, when I turned to my roommate to tell him about this, my mouth said it was going to the 'Earth Sciences' building! This caught me by surprise, so I went back to the article and, sure enough, it said 'Earth Sciences building'!
The philosophers you refer to actually tried to sincerely answers those questions without prejudice. The pope only tries to answer those questions by refering to a couple of books some people wrote several hundreds of years and thousands of years ago while claiming those books come from the creator of the universe, and that the only true answers are in those books. At the same time he claims to be in communication with that creator, and the answers he gives are the only possible true answers. It is impossible to have a debate under those conditions if only because he knows he has the right answers whether you think so or not.
How is asking for your serial number any different from asking how you voted? If it is illegal to ask how you voted then just make it illegal to ask your serial number.
The wave front of 'now', laying down the universe in the direction of positive time, is like a rubber sheet that has been held back in areas of higher density matter, less so in areas of less denstiy. And thus the sheet would become more distorted as the distribution of matter in the universe changed.
Then much like adaptive optics removes the distortion caused to light by a wiggly atmosphere, there must be something like 'adaptive chronics' to remove the distortion caused to light by a wiggly time, and under that correction the universe does not expand at the rate we think, dark matter is unnecessary and the universe is actually 18 billion years old!
I knew dark matter was bogus, I bet this sends it to the dust bin of bad theories.
the idiots have changed the meaning. Happens all the time. Someone hears a phrase or word they don't know, imagine it means something it doesn't, use it the wrong way, and before you know it everyone is using it the wrong way.
Like 'steep learning curve'. In reality a steep learning curve is good, because the learning curve is the amount learned over time, and a steep curve means one has learned more in a short time. Some idiot though thought steep was bad like in climbing, so now 'steep learning curve' is taken to mean 'hard to learn', the exact opposite of it's true meaning. I blame media that makes it so easy to propogate the thoughts of idiots.
No shit, so I will save the beads until I get to the date part. Unfortunately, like the condoms I bought, they probably have a shelf life and will be useless by the time, if ever, I get on this 'date' thing.
Exactly what post are you responding to? The poster said "We're now being encouraged to fear ourselves, our neighbours of any colour or creed, our own children" and he is exactly correct. Nothing you say in response makes any sense at all.
"There is a difference between peaceful assembly and non-peaceful assembly. The latter is an act of terrorism"
You are out of your f**king mind. non-peaceful protest an 'act of terrorism'? You are such a coward that you are terrorized by non-peaceful assembly? Does that include people talking loudly?
"I noticed that they didn't deny having been arrested."
Bingo, you just found the way to supress all discent. For example, someone has the gall to wear an anti-bush shirt to a public event? Arrest them, and they will always be treated as a criminal in the future, making their voice that much harder to be heard! Just what we want!
"why would Bush be working to make it more difficult for US Citizens to enter Canada?" Remember free speech zones? Anything that makes it harder for Bush to hear those opposed to him is good in his eyes.
"IE you're troublemakers, therefore the border agents were quite right to deny you entry." So in your puny world, anyone that tries to exercise their freedom and hold the government accountable is a troublemaker and deserves to have his activities surpressed? Karl is that you? You are such a tool. By the way, do you work for the White House, and just plant this comment?

"Why should the US adopt exactly the same policy toward every communist country?"
For the same reason we should adopt the same policy toward every country: the desire to be even-handed as opposed to being a hypocrite.

I thought the quote was "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

I may not know what 'illegal' means, but I know that if you have to pass a law to make it legal, then it was illegal.
Spending billions more on another cold war while the world literally burns under our feet. Is this the best that human beings can do?
Just hack 1 machine and all of the worlds data is in your hands! This is certainly an improvement for someone.
"there's always 2 things greenies try to call on nuclear - cost and life span"
That's all? Then I take it the decision has finally been made to dispose of the radioactive waste - in your back yard?
Wow, you are obviously very intelligent. Could you please explain the methodology you used to assess the risk as "infinitesmally-small"?
You?

You got that right. Our so-called representatives won't do a damn thing to undo what the bushit admin. has done because they want to do the same!

"a supermajority is needed"
a supermajority is needed for what? The point is, just don't pass the war funding bill. No supermajority is needed for that!
I think the right demanded is the ability to use what you paid for.
As for the lawyers, they always win, no matter what.
(With the possible exception of Pakistan, where right now they are being clubbed)
So, can I look up what I will die from by my weight?
How can you classify speculation as a fact?
"You are either with us or you are with the Terrorists"
Do you really think the world can be modeled in a meaningful way by a single boolean variable? Essentially, 1 nerve cell?
Exactly what post are you responding to? The poster said "We're now being encouraged to fear ourselves, our neighbours of any colour or creed, our own children" and he is exactly correct. Nothing you say in response makes any sense at all.
