Actually, god gave humans sub-perfect eyes to specifically piss you off on this very message forum - and no other reason, except to test you and your faith in the almighty himself!
I'm sorry, these arguments are so pointless due to their self-referential nature, that you can go nowhere with them!
Science shouldn't even go down this path - we argue what we see in the universe, and what we can measure. Since we can't measure God - by definition, it is something that must be taken as faith - science shouldn't touch it. That's what philosophers are for - proving the unprovable.
You obviously never played Jedi Knight the PC game. If you toss grenades at a Jedi, all they have to do is Force-push the grenade right back into your hand - unless you yourself are a Sith - and then boom, your dead.
Force-push is not a dark-side force power, so any jedi could do it. Almost as easy would be for a jedi knight to force-pull all the guns out of the hands of a bunch of clones.
Why, I remember back in my ol' whipper-snapper days as the bartender out West in some place called Dodge City. Yessiree, those were the days. Never a dull day in site! If it weren't some poor 'ol bank robber gettin' shot at the bar, it was a stabbin' over by the pool table. Ah kinda felt sorry fer ta poor janitor that had t' clean up tha mess everday.
By comparason, them kids workin' at McDonalds don't have nuthin' to worry 'bout.
Let's chain up all those dumb women so we can get this country back on track! The gall of them to think that they can get an education, a job, get a life, not have to depend on another person for their entire life. Oh how I miss 5 children households. Sigh...
Damn progressives! You and your jet-setting womenfolk!
see, that's the problem with you damn euro commies. Even with bastard trolls, you use reason & logic to try to make them 'realize the light' or some other such BS.
Here in the US, the prevailing attitude is to just shoot 'em with a gun. Unfortunately, we can't do this, as the civil lawsuits tend to get expensive. =(
There's more to business than transportation. The reason there are so many high-tech businesses in silicon valley, seattle, and portland...are...GASP! Because of education!
In fact, these three locations have some of the WORST traffic congestion in the entire WORLD!
Yet...they also have the highest educational rates in the entire United States!
Wow...maybe if Texas got its head screwed on straight, it would know WHAT TO INVEST ITS MONEY ON:
A) big roads
B) good educational system that includes minorities, illegal & legal immigrants, kindergarten for families who work, and college education for EVERYONE. At an affordable rate.
Seeing how Texas has the highest rate of teen pregnancy in the United States, plus the news of this boondoggle, I think it's a safe bet on which one Texas voted on.
Hey, I'd love to be part of the Lazy States of America! Maybe then the stupid government wouldn't get as much crap done.
Good or bad, I'd like to see more local communities in this country plan for their own future, instead of the state & federal government pushing their snotty noses where it doesn't belong. Those entities should strive to improve everyone's lives, by protecting us & providing incentives, etc for healthcare & education.
Anything relating to transportation, religion & business should have NOTHING to do with the federal government. Okay, obviously states & cities need to develop transportation plans, but the only part the feds play is to dangle a highway-funding carrot out to the states to grab out & build pork-barrelled projects.
Well, OBVIOUSLY I have more choice in what kind of television shows I can watch. Imean, just today I could watch a war in Iraq, this awesome tsunami in Indonesia, and something about a murder in New York - it's just like I was there!
I just love America. Hmm, maybe I'll go take a drive in my Hummer today - I need to buy an extra jar of peanut butter at the store.
Development will pop up anywhere on a highway that is 3 hours from any metro area. While Texas doesn't have this kind of critical mass like Cali does, it isn't that far off.

The only way for the US to build a base there is if we discover water AND oil under the polar soil. Then who knows...suicide bombing loonies?

I'm from the US, so I don't mind if Steve Mann wastes Canadians taxpaying money. They're a social democracy, anyway!
cheers.
Portland, Oregon has been slowly working on a plan like this for awhile. Unfortunately, the process has proven to be just as slow as a company like Qwest.1 2/13/focus3.html

At least we have the Personal Telco project:

eh?
a bit in the minority, eh?

you should check out some of the breweries in the US that aren't bud or coors:
http://www.bridgeportbrew.com/

I wonder if anyone outside of Oregon has even heard of them...too bad! More for me. =)
go to portland, where we have over 30 microbreweries. We also look down on the beer made from the big commercial "breweries."
If you can see through it, it ain't beer.
No sarcasm lost on you!
Then WHY do men have higher insurance premiums? Becuase they get in more freaking accidents! So that shoots your theory to shit.

Damn progressives! You and your jet-setting womenfolk!
so you're going to trust the church to spend the money as wisely as possibly? And not go on a nice vacation to the Vatican?
At least in government there is some oversight... as poor as it may be, the church and state are still just human institutions.
I'm guessing that even if you were homeless, you would be able to find someplace to live and some food to eat.
Your familiy isn't all dead. Your entire community hasn't been reduced to rubble with 3 million bodies piled up around you.
Yea, asshole. Maybe you should just go back into your hole.
...for those gaming sessions in which I don't want to hold a keyboard+mouse
My girlfriend and I can spend hours surfing for porn together.
I soo wish!

Here is one made in the USA (wow, Oregon, surprise!):

hey! thanks for the compliment.

Wow, go 5 over the speed limit (70) in Washington State will earn you a nice little ticket.
Oregon's a bit nicer, 10 mph will net you a ticket, but 5 is ok, unless it's during rush hour.
And you obviously have never been to California.
Development will pop up anywhere on a highway that is 3 hours from any metro area. While Texas doesn't have this kind of critical mass like Cali does, it isn't that far off.
