Well, the only question *I* still have is: Can we please start using stuff like this instead of getting our energy from setting things on fire! I mean, call me crazy, but I would think after all this time we could have progressed technology to the point where we don't have to burn something like a bunch of cavemen to get the energy we need for everyday living.
That said, I can totally picture humanity going through all the trouble of coming up with a "foolproof" plan to open a dialogue, only to discover that our^wthe alien version of a handshake is grabbing an ambassador in its mouth and thrashing him violently about.
Or find out that their standard ship-to-ship greeting is to approach with gun ports open.
Who in their right mind would read a Latin bible? If you wanted to get down to the root language, The Old Testament was written in ancient Hebrew, and the new testament was written in Greek.
Certainly. I was not at all arguing that the Bible should be read in Latin. Merely that "bible thumpers" have this rather peculiar notion that a particular English translation produced in the early 17th century is perfect since the translators were supposedly inspired by God. The "King James Only" crowd are a bit nuts, to say the least.
To compound the problem, humans are notoriously blind to their own biases, tending to think that their evaluation of matters is rather objective and well-founded, and that any reasonable person should come to the same conclusions.
Or, to put it more briefly, most people have the problem of thinking that "I came to my world view logically and it makes perfect, logical sense to me. Therefore, it must be true and anyone who disagrees is illogical." It's very frustrating to deal with people like that.
You're saying Lucifer is the same as Jupiter??? And you haven't gotten a lightning bolt shoved up your ass yet??? GREEK MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT???
How much of it is really worth saving? Except The Goatse image and a good RickRoll video I mean...
Yes, I can just see it now. An archeologist 5000 years from now uncovers an ancient CD-R perfectly preserved in an old, discarded refrigerator. After years of painstaking study, he finally figures out how to decode the information. He uses his specially created device to read the disk and places the first picture on his display.
A split second later, the other researchers at the university are treated to a blood-curdling scream of "My Eyes! My beautiful eyes!"
What's sad is that, if pot were simply legal but taxed like alcohol and tobacco: (1) Your pot would be cheaper and (2) We would have a lot more money in the treasury.
And, before any of you right-wing 'tards spout off, I don't smoke pot. I just don't see why my legal drug (alcohol) is any worse than pot, or why it is anyone's business what somebody else puts into their own body. Just don't smoke weed or tobacco in my house. My wife will be really pissed off ^_^.
The student said on MSNBC he was caught with Mike n' Ikes (or some kind of candy) on camera, and they believed he had illegal pharmaceutical drugs.
Even if he was toking the reefer while getting getting blown by two thirteen year-old girls, it is none of their fucking business. This would be like a cop barging into your place, having a peak, and saying "Okay. Nothing illegal going on. Have a nice day."
So then why was a student reprimanded for their in home behaviour with a picture from the webcam used as evidence?
The other question is: What the fuck business is it of the school's what they are doing outside of school anyway? If the school officials think their authority is so broad, they should not even be allowed around children.
1. They hold an IP right to the use of Olympian, so the phrase Olympian Lindsay Vonn is a use of a trademark.
What I want to know is, why hasn't any of the Olympian Gods smitten them yet? This is like McDonalds trying to claim trademark violations if there is anything with "Mc" in front of it. What are they going to do, sue all of Scotland?
When are school officials going to realize that their authority ends at school??? I don't normally advocate violence, but a good old-fashioned drawing and quartering is certainly in order here!
They used a picture of the child in the case engaging in "improper behavior in the home" then confirmed to the child's father that this is true.
You know, if a school official did that with me, I would beat the shit out of him in front of my child and tell my kid "that's what free people do to fascists!"
Keep in mind, though, that the standards are different in civil vs. criminal court. In criminal law, you need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Plus, there is no such thing (IIRC) as jury nullification in a civil court. In civil law, you only need to prove by a preponderance of the evidence.
Actually, I am sure that Al Gore said that there would be no more snow.
[citation needed]
Not that it really matters, though, since Al Gore is not a climate scientist. Try debating the actual science instead of making this a contest a personalities.
Why don't they have similar constructions at airports that say, "you must be skinny enough to fit through this to get on this plane" . . . ?
They could size the metal detectors you have to walk through accordingly. If your ass hits both sides of the metal detector, you get to hear children sing:
Fatty, fatty, two-by-four Can't get through the cockpit door!
This movie could have been made in 1975 and not suffered visually at all
Oh, hell, it could have been made in 1955 and not suffered visually. All you would need are some carefully painted backdrops of Trantor and some futuristic looking furniture.
Why should he be apologetic? He became addicted to oxycontin as a result of taking it to relieve the severe pain from his back surgery. Jeez man, revel in others' pain, much?
It's not revelling in his pain. It's the fact that he is a hypocritical jerkwad. He has referred to so many other people who take drugs as "human filth" (and that's when he's feeling charitable), but when he is addicted to drugs and illegally obtains them, we're all supposed to "pray for Rush" as he goes into rehab.
So, for most human beings, I would feel great sympathy at them becoming addicted to pain killers. But the Supreme Hypocrit Rush should be forever denied any kind of pain killing drug. And, as Wanda Sykes said, "I hope his kidneys fail."

I, for one, welcome our oblivious overlords!
In Soviet Russia, oblivious overlords welcome YOU!

"Bible thumpers" generally only care about early 17th century English. You would be hard pressed to find a bible thumper that knows Latin.
That depends. Is the Moon under the age of 18?

And the answer to your "first post" is: NO.
Sorry, but you just gave me this image of the judge telling the IOC lawyers, "I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!"

By way of explanation, this is largely because water, having such a high thermal capacity, is a great transporter of thermal energy.
