News flash. A whole lot of people don't believe there's a god. That means they don't see any conundrum there.
No. We are not floating, completely out of control. Nothing prevents us here (U.S.) from just up and leaving and starting over. You simply have to be willing to endure the consequences. The whole topic of lack of free will is bogus as it hinges on the supernatural or extreme pedantry.
The fact that you can even post this without boots at your door shows that those young heroes are indeed defending your liberty and freedom. "The rest of the world" is not one entity, but myriads. Many of those would gladly take you out and put a bullet in your head for your beliefs and speech.
If you do, then you actually are paranoid. Corporate types might try some underhanded economic dealings, but you can easily counter that by having an accountant or lawyer go over the papers. On the other hand, unless you're packing, the wanna-be thugs are an imminent danger and you're not displaying paranoia by being extremely aware of them.
"The signal to noise ratio makes blogs worthless. Even if you know where to look."
Which means, of course, you're missing some of the finest on the ground reporting coming out of the Middle East, for instance. The Mesopotamian, Iraq The Model and Micheal's Yon and Totton. No MSM reporting holds a candle.
"Oh, sure, there are probably PhDs out there blogging. Okay, okay, I'm kidding - I sincerely doubt it - unless they were useless in their fields to begin with."
You sir, are a pompous idiot. There are plenty of PhDs blogging. Doctors, physicists, constitutional lawyers and others. You lead a sheltered blog life.
So you are in favor of allowing large corporations to simply take whatever they see that they like, reproduce it in mass and swamp the little guy out of any living?
It's not racist and you're the race baiter. He's talking about illegal immigrants, not legal citizens or workers and he said not a thing about the color of the hiree.
You are throwing straw because you have nothing else to throw. Same reason he was labeled flamebait.
The Anonymous that campaigns is not the Anonymous that trolls epilepsy boards, but they're both part of the same Anonymous. You can't identify subsets of the group (which is intended), thus you can only talk about the whole group.
Thus they are the same people. Pedantry cuts both ways.
You're being pedantic. Even your own link says his had "an effective incandescent material, a higher vacuum than others were able to achieve and a high resistance lamp that made power distribution from a centralized source economically viable." In shorter terms, it worked in a utilitarian way. He may not be the inventor of the incandescent apparatus, but he's the inventor of the light bulb.
As someone above you pointed out, Bush is the president to enact a plan for getting men to Mars. Perhaps you need to actually look at budgets, because as someone else pointed out, NASA's budget has grown by a billion dollars this year. Spew elsewhere.
You had students who were baked dishes of meat and hardtack? Interesting.
You are apparently a very nice person. Others from your and other countries are not so. Even given that, if I were to go to India, China or anywhere else in order to teach anything but English at a university level, it is incumbent upon me not my students to make sure communication is effective. I am the one who will receive a paycheck and they will be the ones paying it. I am not bestowing largess upon them, they need not cut me any slack if I fail to communicate.
Have to agree with techpawn. You only learned something about those people, not modern art itself. There are a number of "schools" of MA; some are drek, some are quite deep and friggin' hard to accomplish.
You could have done exactly the same thing with Renaissance art.
Your complaint is noted. Now all you have to do is explain just how they can ascertain that information without stopping them. And, it's not at every corner, just hot spots.
As the movie has yet to be released and NS has not a friggin' clue as to what's in it -- that is exactly the reason I give them no benefit of the doubt whatsoever.
Actually, I'd have to disagree. Remember, It wasn't until Clinton came into office that the White House got a modern phone system. Governmental employees (much like academic ones) are notoriously techno-duufs. They, like professors, see the world as something attached to their special area of interest.
Until you find some evidence of purpose (like say, stuffing papers in your socks), I'd have to go with incompetence.
You do not get to determine how someone else distributes their work. You have no authority to do so That desire is only driven by the cheapness of not wanting to pay for something you desire. Nice of you to determine how an author should execute his business.

Pre-determination by self is free will.

Got a cite for that bogus number?

"The retina doesn't get tired... it doesn't move."
Don't be pedantic. Tired doesn't just refer to muscle fatigue and retinas do indeed become less responsive without rest.
"VR study says 40% of us are mistrustful."
Don't got the same ring.

Hardly good footwork there. How about we find the actual people and let the chips fall where they may?

No, he didn't figure out that step. It's not like he's alive and still trying.

Dude -- I've worked with Brit contractors. VB is a step up from the plain Basic they're used to.

Why the hell to you hold such animosity toward the libs and dems?

Um, that would be covered by his last sentence.
