If you want a black market handgun in Australia, you are looking at a price tag of several thousands of dollars. The same gun in the US would be, $50 perhaps.
true. so, now when the american government makes aggressive and belicose blunders in the middle east the rest of the world won't just despise and deride the president. they'll hate the american people too.
The American Government represents the people of America. The president didn't send troops to the middle east, the government did (specifically the Senate, who voted to send troops there). If they were going to hate the american people they already would. WE elected elected Bush and all the senators (including Kerry) who voted to send troops.
I've had my PS2 sinch launch also. However, it stopped working more than a year ago. Yep, Disc Read Error. Just got off the phone with Sony, they're going to fix it for free tho.

I don't know about you, but I'm getting ready to play Gran Turismo 4. If you've got GTA 3 and Vice City, why would you want the same game in a different city?
We are a Federal Republic which is a hybrid form of a Democracy. We lose sight of that in todays world of 15 second sound bites and bitter politics. The Executive branch represents the Union of States. This is not apparant to the casual eye.. but was the intent. It was very weakened with the passage of the 17th amendment.
The 17th amendment dictated that Senators are elected by popular vote of the state, prior to that, they were appointed by the legislature or govenor.
Actually, this country was _founded_ as a confederacy, NOT a federal republic. That is why we had Senators appointed by states. The states were to be seperate entities, and they wanted to make sure that their interests were properly represented. They could have been easily overlooked if they had proportional representation.
However, this distinction is practically nonexistant today. The states now hold very little relative power. That's not only because they have lost some of their rights, but also it's because the Federal government has gained so much power. The founding fathers never meant for the national governement to have such far reaching powers, yet many people now consider that the only possibility.

So, 20 years ago there was 40 years worth of oil? 5 years ago there was 40 years worth of oil? Now there is 40 years of oil left on the world?
Sounds like we'll never run out to me.

Why would you spend all that money to get such a fast processor, then go and fry it trying to make it faster? Wasn't 3 GHz enough? Next time you need to try an AMD if you want to overclock.
That's the great thing about GAIM, just about EVERYTHING is customizable. If you don't like the icons, you can make them smaller, or eliminate them all together.
How does it stick out? I've got the WinGaim Options plug-in and it integrates perfectly with Windows. Plus I love having all Conversations in one tabbed window (which is an option).
What kind of problems do you experience with GAIM?
The only thing I can think of is the Video/Voice/File sharing with MSN and AIM, but I never use those anyways.
You forget one thing. The constitution specifically set up an organization (The Supreme Court) to interpret what they meant by excessive, cruel, etc.
Should we just allow the interpretation of our laws to be done by a foreign organization (assuming this treaty creates one) or should we just leave the interpretation to anyone who choses to make a claim (of which there will be many).
>> It seems to me like first of all, it clearly speaks of a mark, not of an implant deep inside your body. Second, what it speaks of there, is about accepting the rule of the antichrist and the social/economic structure that comes with it, not about merely getting a medical implant.
I'm pretty sure that at the time that Revolutions was written implants were not that prevalent. While I do not read Hebrew or Greek, nor have access to the origonal texts, this is what Webster says: "3 a (1) : SIGN, INDICATION (2) : an impression (as a scratch, scar, or stain) made on something (3) : a distinguishing trait or quality : CHARACTERISTIC b : a symbol used for identification or indication of ownership c : a cross made in place of a signature"
A chip implanted in the hand would qualify for this, especially if there is a tatoo put on the outside of the skin to indicate that there is a chip on the inside (as is very likely to happen).

And how would you know that?

You just made my point, those are the same thing. A reson is just an excuse dressed up in your example.

That's why I run GAIM, plus its open source.

Can you give me one instance where the Constitution is that vague?
I've gotton a completely black image 3 out of 6 times trying it. Is that art?

Actually, what you're talking about is punishment, not reinforcement. (Positive Punishment to be more exact)
LOL :-P
