This needs to stop. You're making an assumption about what the editor meant, a foolish thing to do. How about we do this in America from now on: let's take people for what they say, and stop going on and saying "well they implied so and so!!!" Its really irritating, and its destoryed our ability to debate.
Student or not, you should research before you go running your stupid mouth off. I notice that you name call everyone that points out flaws in your posts. Grow up. And my point stands; if you can't be bothered now to properly research things, why would I think you'd do it later? Especially considering that the McDs coffee case was very high profile and even common people like me know the facts about it.
Your reply wasn't limited to cell phones, nor was the OP.
At any rate whether you consider a item a luxury or not is irrevelent to the story as well. Unfair contracts are unfair contracts. Saying its not corporations fault is a cope out; we've already seen at the beginning of the 20th century what unrestricted companies will do. But I supposed you'd say it was the workers fault that they simply didn't find another job elsewhere.
To be fair, we played 2nd edition AD&D and were able to tell great stories. Its a matter of knowing when to use the rules and when to let the story take over.
So I don't think you can say D&D supported story telling better than AD&D or AD&D2, it depends on your players and DM.
I agree; I played 2nd edition too, and if a 12 yr old can figure out the rules, they aren't too complex.
The last time D&D came up here, I looked up on wikipedia about it. Its too bad they toned things down for 2nd edition.. why do stupid christians feel the need to ruin everything fun? Ironically, they felt that fantasy was having a bad influence on people. Their fantasy has been far more detremental to the world.
Bullshit. I get nothing. My local property tax pays for the city I live in to maintain roads. State sales tax pays for other things.
Even at the state level there are thing I DON'T want to pay for; welfare, medicare, eduction for other's kids. At the federal level... 99% of the fed government should be shut down completely. Its a useless waste of money and most of it is unconstitutional.
I still think spilling hot coffee on yourself is NOT grounds for suit against McDonald's in a normative sense.
Even if A) McDs knew that their coffee would cause 3rd degree burns at the tempurature it is typically served at and B) McDs own research showed that customer intend to drink the coffee immediately?
What about if the judgement everyone heard about was actually cut in half because the jury did decide it was half her fault anyone?
As a law student, I'm suprised you never looked into the facts. I don't think i'd want you as a lawyer.
Doubtful. Again, negligence is a legal matter and a contract would not give up your rights to sue. The only thing you'd be giving up is your right to sue if they were not negligent. Even then, it depends on exactly what happened.
In other words, this is just what you think, and you have no evidence to back up what you're saying. An interesting pet theory, and you ignore that we already make batteries anyway. You also ignore the fact that we could recycle the materials in the batteries, something you can't do with gasoline, which just throws CO & CO2 and other gases into the air.
Don't go arguing that hybrids are more damaging to build for the environment unless you have solid evidence to back it up, not just some half baked thought experiment.
That's a nice theory, but I think there are too many other variables at play here.
The closer to the sun a planet is, the more radition it will absorb from the sun. Also, the planets size makes a difference, as well as the composition of the planet.
Heh.. I've had this happen too. I had 10 flamebaits, it was clear what was going on. Someone looked at my posting history, because the FB started at one comment and went down the list, crossing two or three different articles. Don't care, I suspect this was fixed in meta modding, and I still have my +1 bonus.
I played using 2nd edition rules; not sure what going a third edition would do. The only reason we used 2nd edition is because that's what was in print at the time.
I suppose though you'd have to "upgrade" if you want to use the box sets. Dragon Lance and Spell Jammer were great if you sucked at making maps and such.
Because per captia we put out much much more CO2 than other countries. Also, CO2 released over the US doesn't sit just over the US, it moves with the winds. Pollution here causes acid rain in Brazil.
C02 emissions aren't causing global warming - the evidence shows that C02 emissions are more likely to be a symptom than cause; but neither side can actually prove it either way, so go with what is more scientifically plausible.
Hmm, the evidence is pretty strong that more CO2 leads to higher tempuratures. If C02 was a symptom, please explain what you think would release more C02 as the tempurature rises.
If you buy a Hybrid to cut your C02 footprint; you get used - it's more environmentally destructive to create one of those inefficient turds than it is to go with what's already out there - you'd have to drive the same one for about 75 years to have done less damage than buying a new oil-burner every 5 - 10.
Citation please? This is the first I've heard this particular theory, so I'd like you to back it up by a reputable source.
Are you playing dumb now? No where do you need to list rights, nor do we need to in order for them to exist. The constitution of the US does not exist outside the philosophy found in the link. I pointed you to a start to understand this, but you'll have to do more reading and research. From the founders, you can easily find who they were influenced by, and where they had the idea to protect Liberty. A right is NOT granted by the state, it is something we have as human beings.
Also if you research the creation of the Bill of Rights, you'll find that there was quite a bit of debate on whether to create the document or not, because they worried some would construe this as a enumeration of the rights people had, instead of protecting some of the most important. This debate is what lead to the 9th and 10th Amendents being proposed.
You are very ignorant when it comes to the philosophy on which this country was founded. The link I posted is meant to be the start of your eduction, so please, go education yourself before you attempt to debate whether or not we have rights or not. If you can't get to John Stuart Mill, please don't post anymore on rights, Liberty and what our government is supposed to be doing.
Its interesting you mention this. I was born and raised outside of Philly. For college, I went to RIT in Rochester NY. More than a few times I was told I had an accent, but for the life of me non of the native Rochester people seemed to have one to me..
I find that story hard to buy. There are other factors as well; how often did you open and close the bread? Was that week it went bad faster more humid than the previous weeks? Did it rain more?
If you want your bread to last longer, throw it in the fridge.. same effect without getting chemicals around your food.
Its not the soap that kills the bacteria anyway, its the friction from rubbing your hands together. Go look on the CDC site; you can santize your hands without any soap at all if you're pressed.
If you don't use your muscles, they atrophy. If you don't use your brain, you lose your mental abilities. I think it stands to reason that if you don't use your immune system, it gets weaker as well.

I like how you ignore the actual posted examples such as house and car, and bring out cell phone instead.

Right, ODF will allow that choice, just like html authors only need to write one page and it renders the same in all browsers.

Not only that, but its not illegal to pause recording a TV show whenever a commercial break starts.

Thanks, that was a very informative post.

Soap is great. Why, with enough soap you can blow up just about anything.
I can't even buy non anti-bacterial soap in the grocery stores here in vermont. ugh.
