I'm pretty happy with the speed of my interwebs, i mean it does have to go through a tube all the way from the mainland US to me here in Guam.
FIRST POST!!! Woot!!!
The words Different and Bad are interchangeable in this context as far as i am concerned. Maxwell clearly got his point across and i don't think it warranted an attack of pantie waist political correctness.
By this logic Sports also fit the category, we should ban all Television, Sports, Games, Drugs, Alcohol so that there will be no more violent outbursts from mentally ill persons.
its the Progressives, they come in the form of both republicans and democrats.
It doesn't matter what party is in office, either way we are heading down this Progressive path. and as long as we are voting for these 2 parties then we will continue to lose our rights bit by bit.
the niece of a friend of mine recently asked me for some advice on a paper that she was writing for one of her highschool classes. The teacher asked each student to come up with a law that they would like to be passed and be prepared to defend their position. She came up with "Every person must have graduated highschool or the equivalent in order to obtain a drivers license" (we are on Guam, you cant get a full license here until 18 anyway) Her logic was that it would keep kids in school (a major problem here) and that it would ensure that all drivers had at least a certain level of education and able to make informed decisions. Although i do think drivers should be educated and that kids should stay in school, I simply could not rationalize why someone would ask their students to go around thinking of new laws and restrictions to put on the public. I explained why i felt that the government should not be able to determine if an individual should be entitled to a drivers license based on anything other than a driving aptitude test and that a law of that nature although intended to keep kids in school could have a severely negative impact on the local population. Our discussion then extended into the realm of why extending the government's reach is not always a good thing. and that as time goes on there will be so many laws and policies that most of your paycheck will go to various government agencies to pay for all this, and that you wouldn't know if you were breaking the law as it would be impossible to have knowledge of them all. After this discussion, she really couldn't come up with a law worth passing and decided to look into some of the stupid things that the government has forced on the citizens and wrote a paper on how she would like to repeal the recent legislation that changed the drinking age from 18 to 21 and put an alcohol curfew between 2am and 8am.
I'm not sure what her teacher thought of it, but i certainly was impressed to see a young person moving away from the Progressive teachings of the school system. I was surprised at how willing she was to accept that sort of assignment and just move with the herd. I hope she got a good grade for at least being creative. Hopefully in the future she will think critically when she sees things like "New TSA Scanners Installed' and "New high tech device that completely violates your privacy For the good of others!"

Study Links More Time Spent Sitting to Higher Risk of Death
Risk Found to Be Independent of Physical Activity Level
A new study from American Cancer Society researchers finds it’s not just how much physical activity you get, but how much time you spend sitting that can affect your risk of death. Researchers say time spent sitting was independently associated with total mortality, regardless of physical activity level. They conclude that public health messages should promote both being physically active and reducing time spent sitting. The study appears early online in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Increasing obesity levels in the United States are widely predicted to have major public health consequences. A growing epidemic of overweight and obesity has been attributed in part to reduced overall physical activity. And while several studies support a link between sitting time and obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease risk factors (11, 16, 17), and unhealthy dietary patterns in children and adults (18–20), very few studies have examined time spent sitting in relation to total mortality (21–23). Thus, public health guidelines focus largely on increasing physical activity with little or no reference to reducing time spent sitting.
To explore the association between sitting time and mortality, researchers led by Alpa Patel, Ph.D. analyzed survey responses from 123,216 individuals (53,440 men and 69,776 women) who had no history of cancer, heart attack, stroke, or emphysema/other lung disease enrolled in the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention II study in 1992. They examined the amount of time spent sitting and physical activity in relation to mortality between 1993 and 2006. They found that more leisure time spent sitting was associated with higher risk of mortality, particularly in women. Women who reported more than six hours per day of sitting were 37 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat fewer than 3 hours a day. Men who sat more than 6 hours a day were 18 percent more likely to die than those who sat fewer than 3 hours per day. The association remained virtually unchanged after adjusting for physical activity level. Associations were stronger for cardiovascular disease mortality than for cancer mortality.
When combined with a lack of physical activity, the association was even stronger. Women and men who both sat more and were less physically were 94% and 48% more likely, respectively, to die compared with those who reported sitting the least and being most active.
“Several factors could explain the positive association between time spent sitting and higher all-cause death rates,” said Dr. Patel. “Prolonged time spent sitting, independent of physical activity, has been shown to have important metabolic consequences, and may influence things like triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, resting blood pressure, and leptin, which are biomarkers of obesity and cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.”
The authors conclude that “public health messages and guidelines should be refined to include reducing time spent sitting in addition to promoting physical activity. Because a sizeable fraction of the population spends much of their time sitting, it is beneficial to encourage sedentary individuals to stand up and walk around as well as to reach optimal levels of physical activity.”

it was banned in AUS but not in the US. although some retailers wouldn't carry it.
I just hope they missed the Simpsons episodes with Itchy & Scratchy.

this have anything to do with the max value of a 32 bit signed integer? just popped into my head...
