    That is correct. Right now, what's left of the Taliban regime are laying dormant. Given the progress that's going on in that country, the Taliban will be defeated in one of three possible ways.

    1. The remaining members of the Taliban will defect to a civilized way of life along with the rest of the population.

    2. Those that don't defect, will be either rounded up from prison, or kill on site for their hostile actions.

    3. The remaining members of the Taliban will opt for a less aggressive stance. As such, they will remain in Afghanistan as a cult much like the pacifist Amish in America.

    Regardless of what happens, the Taliban will cease to be a threat once the majority of Afghans enjoy the fruit that democracy and capitalism has to offer.

    That link is bogus. Your an idiot too for spreading that FUD.

    FYI, Bush's four year grade average was the same as Kerry's at Yale. You can read about it here.

    From the linked article... "Bush went to Yale from 1964 to 1968; his highest grades were 88s in anthropology, history, and philosophy, according to The New Yorker article. He received one D in his four years, a 69 in astronomy. Bush has said he was a C student."

    History and philosophy are subjects all presidents should be proficient in.

    I don't think he was meaning to imply that Bush is responsible for it, but rather that Bush's presence in the Whitehouse is indicative of the anti-intellectualism that pervades the electorate that put him there. And that is very relevant.

    Nah, you're just phishing for an excuse as to why the Bush-attack was relevant.

    Want to know the real answer? It's the parents. As a whole, they DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!! To them, school = day care center funded by your tax dollars. It's as simple as that really. No need to be more nuanced about it.

    The main reason for poor reception is location (obviously), and the phones ability to transmit and receive signals. Due to the second, I did my research before I purchased a phone from Verizon Wireless and got the Samsung SCH-i600.

    To this day, I've never had a dropped call when calling a number connected to a telco line. Hell, I've even driving 15 minutes hopping between cell towers and never been dropped.

  11. Re:The Green Brigade will be foaming at the mouth on Ozone Layer Improving Faster Than Expected · · Score: 1

    It's been awhile (80s) since I've last heard this, so forgive me for my outdated information.

    When I was younger, my father told me of a story regarding Mexican car ownership policy. The policy was that you could only drive your car on certain days of the week in order for the city to cut back on pollution. However, that same policy did NOT prevent you from owning more than one car. As such, instead of a Mexican family owning one nice (modern) car capable of good emissions and fuel economy, they split the cost and purchased two lesser cars of the same value. So now the country is left with a single family still able to drive seven days of the week AND with shitty VW bugs spewing noxious gases into the atmosphere.

    This is a prime example of an environmental policy gone badly. It really is like taking one step forward, multi-steps back.

    You're wrong. You know how I know you're wrong? Because I listen to his program and I've never...ever...heard him rag on drug addicts post Limbaughs rehab. Perhaps he did rant and rave before his own addiction, be not since. I don't see how that qualifies as being hypocritical.

    You can't break piston rods that way. In fact, premature detonation happens all the time when the engine timing is out of phase or you're running gasoline with to low of an octane rating that the engine was designed for. This very process of pre-detonation is known as knocking.
