...almost every single label has both English and Mexican...
I call it Mexican because it isn't Spanish. "Spain" Spanish and Mexican "Spanish" are not the same, and while the root structure is the same, the slang and many of the verbs are not.
If that was the real reason, then how come you don't call the language you write in "American"?

Actually, it's a decent natural filter, any company that wouldn't hire you for such a reason is one you don't want to work for anyways.
Yeah, it sounds cliche, but it is a good filter. There are some companies that only want to hire young people who will be willing to work 60-80 hour days and put up with no end of management abuse until they burn out.
Other companies, (better companies, imho), prefer experience and efficiency to mere long hours.
I'm a software engineering contractor, and have been for about 12 years now. I just turned 42, and have had no problem with ageism myself as far as I'm aware. I've often worked with people who are quite a bit older than me.
I once got an extra search at an airport. Not a strip-search, just completely emptying my bags and lining the contents up and sending the empty bag back through the X-ray machine.
Why the extra scrutiny? I had a spare stylus for my PDA in my bag. I at first protested when they confiscated it, then laughed when I noticed they thought it might be a danger, but thought nothing of the two mechanical pencils, twice the size, sharper, and metal, that were right next to it.
I couldn't explain why I was laughing, hence the extra search.
Science asks that we accept it, and offers a 600 page book written over two decades exhaustively proving it using clearly observable phenomena and repeatable experimentation.
While you describe Darwin's The Origin of Species, it is important to note that his work is only an exceedingly tiny fraction of all the proof there is of Natural Selection being the mechanism by which evolution of species is achieved.
You enter the intersection on a green or yellow, and the camera doesn't take a picture of you. Only if the light is actually red before you enter.
Also, the camera also records your speed, and this information is printed on the ticket.
The ones I've seen at least always have the speed and three pictures: 1. The car before entering the intersection, showing the red light and the rear license plate. 2. The car in the intersection, showing the light still red, and the driver's face. 3. The car about to leave the intersection (showing that it wasn't making a turn on red).
Not that I'm in favor of them. The best argument against them I've seen is that cities seem to be unable to resist the temptation to shorten the time of the yellow light to drive up revenue, which increases rear-end collisions and makes traffic more dangerous and less efficient.
Very few have ever thought seriously about the question, and most are more than content to ignore the issue, or maintain a blind faith in some system of parallel universes for which there is no evidence whatsoever.
No. You may have been told by those in authority in your church group that atheists have never thought about the issue, but that is not the truth.
What you describe is the Anthropic Principle, and far from never being seriously thought about, it's been debated to death all over the internet.
Aside from the extreme fallacy of claiming that if an atheist can't explain how something happened, it must have been a specific god, it can also be pointed out that the universe is not precisely tuned for human life. In fact, in all of it we know about, with the exception of one tiny portion of one tiny planet, we can't even breathe. And even on that part there are places where it's so hot and humid you'll die within hours, so cold you'll die within minutes, wind so strong it'll kill you, ground that shakes, falls, burns, fills suddenly with water, or just collapses under you unexpectedly. And that's not to mention all the other life forms, from large predators to tiny micro-organisms, that kill millions of us every year.
The cameras can tell if you're turning right or not.
If you are past the right lane, and most of the way through the intersection and you're still heading straight through the intersection, you weren't turning right.
Seriously, did you think that in all the places that have deployed these things, nobody ever stopped and thought "hey, what about right turns" before?
The double negative in my post was perhaps a bit ambiguous.
I was pointing out that the Constitution does NOT forbid states from seceding. In fact, the tenth amendment seems to specifically allow it.
My contention was with certain idiots who, whenever secession or the Civil War is mentioned feel the need to jump in with the opinion that they "were not about slavery" when, according to each state's explicitly written Articles of Secession, they most certainly were.
Well, while the people claiming that secession wasn't about slavery are idiots, it's true that there's nothing in the Constitution that says states cannot secede from the union if they desire to do so.
Instead, how about imposing some more forceful law over those that feel the law is irrelevant to their actions? When actions start having real consequences, people can and will change.
Exactly.
So, instead of raising taxes on video games, they should impose a tax on stabbing people.
You're overlooking the first step: steal the credit card number to buy the iTunes card with.
That makes it 100% profit, with a quick and easy way to get money off the credit card. Who cares if you throw away 99% of the value of the original credit card? It's not their money they're wasting.

I think you dropped the "or".
But...but...he heard the lid rattling!
What else could possibly cause the lid on the pot of boiling water with a lobster inside to rattle like that?
You joke, but such laws have been proposed.
It's only a matter of time before one passes.

It is in Oregon. Close to 100% of voting in Oregon elections, including Federal elections, is done through the mail.
We've been doing it for a couple of decades now, with no major problems that I've heard of.

They pretend they don't exist.
Any contradictions you can find, someone has already come up with convoluted explanation of why it's not "really" a contradiction.
When they say the bible is "literal" they don't mean the same thing you and I mean when we use the word.
They mean that it absolutely, positively, without any question, means whatever they believe it means, not what it seems to actually, you know, say.
Wrong!
Life is too complex to be created by Pasta!
Only a Giant and a Cow can explain it!

That would be unfair.
But that's not how they work.

It was role-playing games.
I remember it well. Role-playing games caused the complete collapse of civilization in 1983.
Some say it was the atomic war, but that's just propaganda put out by our mutant overlords.

The camera also takes a picture of your car as it approaches the intersection.
If the light is green or yellow before you enter, you don't get a ticket.

One bit of evidence is that he didn't do it in the off-season. Only on days when there were likely to be a lot of people.
You really believe that that's the only difference between the two men?
Exactly.
