    Don't forget the mod to put a portable generator in the back seat to get unlimited mpg*!

    * Does not include fuel used by the generator.

    Frankly I dislike April Fools day.

    There are plenty of fools out there without giving them a day to recruit.

    Well it would have to be the css version of it since its done in the css.

    It was a joke actually. You can't do it with the usercontent because the DOM node doesn't give the text in the option as an exposed value.

    Ah so thats the problem.

    Well I outwitted your nefarious scheme. I put an entry in my usercontent.css to always make the name United States show up in its God given colors of red, white, and blue. With blink tags!

    You presented strawmen of the views of the opposition and attacked them.

    When I pointed that out you created another straw man of my post to defend yourself.

    I would say that I handily won this round.

    I really don't trust the husband to act in her best interests. I mean he has been living with another woman for years, and has had children with her.

    Frankly I think that should dissolve the marriage right there.

    See the problem with Hollywood is that you can make a list of the Republican actors, and count them on your fingers...

    Actually the party of old money comment was made about a survey of congress that had the Democrats with an average of 1.7 times the total wealth of the Republicans and with something around 80% of it coming from inheritance as opposed to the Republicans who made it through investing.

    I wish I could find the chart now.
    This is part of the raw data.

    Mine look like


    Soylent green is made out of people
    11 13 08 19 21 23 10
    026 328 394
    434 109 349
    395 035 431


    The positions of the numbers matter to the code.
    Also each character can be represented by nearly 72 different number combinations.

    Of course once the method is cracked the codes can be rather easilly decifered, but its better than plaintext or rot13.

  19. Re:Polygamy on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    Just getting along with one spouse can be difficult if you do not spend the time necessary to communicate well. The complexity of social interaction increases exponentially with the number of participants. Thus a poligamist marriage has a higher chance of breaking down spectacturaly due to the normal strain of living day to day.

    Marriage, despite public opionion, is not completely about sex.

  20. Re:The general public is distracted... on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    If you really want complete freedom without government interaction with marriage then marriage should just be dissolved as a legal institution. Marriage is a government granted legal status at this point, thus there is no right to marriage just as there is no right to drive or to be on welfare.

    If anyone can marry, then Bill Gates can recieve welfare.

  21. Re:The general public is distracted... on TSA Lied About Protecting Passenger Data · · Score: 1

    Really? I personally haven't heard any arguments against gay/poly marriages that were not rooted in ignorance, bigotry, or both. Every argument I've heard effectively boils down to one of the following:

    1. It's wrong because the Bible says so. (Fallacy: Appeal to Authority)
    2. It shouldn't be allowed because it goes against long-standing societal traditions (Fallacy: Appeal to Tradition)
    3. It's a gay/liberal/$BUGBEAR conspiricy to undermine "traditional family values" (Fallacy: Appeal to Hatred

    Their objections are not entirely without merit.

    I disagree. Arguments based on logical fallacies are entirely without merit.


    Fallacy: Straw man

    How about this for a rational arguement.

    For a society to survive it is necessary for it to have its cultural, social, and moral structure passed on to future generations.

    Marriage is a legal construct to make having and raising children easier and more attractive economically due to tax breaks and other legal bonuses.

    Thus marriages should only be granted to couples who are theoretically capable of producing offspring without undue expense.
