Political minority groups on the right and left have massive amounts of influence and stage things like this ALL the time. This is the equivalent of PETA for TV... a small group of people focused on a cause so they create a lot of ruckus. (Difference between these guys and PETA... these guys are abusing a system that is set up for legitimate complaints while PETA merely tells everyone they're going to hell.) Really, while this is a non-story, its a non-story because disturbing practices happen like this ALL the time. A small minority inflicting their will upon the majority. Though I tend to agree with this small minority (I think parents should parent their children first and foremost, but I do agree that public television ought to be regulated) I disagree with this kind of "Shock and Awe" attacking.

Really, I'm just going to blanketly call you a liar. No, I don't have any proof, just some inferences.
If you're telling me you work at a video store where you remember who rented exactly what video, and then the moment they return that video - which, everyone I know uses the video drop box - and you associate it with the person who actually rented it and then realize it's a woman who returned it, let me just tell you I'm impressed. You shouldn't be working in a video store, you should be doing spy work and cracking codes for the CIA with a memory like that.
Yeah, as the other replyer said, please provide some sort of link.
I believe that these are the "last days" spoken of in the New Testament. But I also believe that when it says God created that it took him 7 days to create the world, it took him quite longer than 168 hours. Lot of symbollic stuff and the majority of Christians realize that. There's not a whole lot of people I know who believe that Christ will come in this generation. Sorry buddy.
1) You'll be hard pressed to find an educated person of the LDS church who fully believes that God created the entire universe in seven literal days, only 6,000 years ago. Not a single professor I've spoken with at BYU (Mormon college) believes it and I most certainly don't.
2) The highest ranking church officials made a statement about 100 years ago in 1907 that states the Church doesn't have a stance for or against biological evolution, simply that however man was created, God had a role in it... or more aptly put, God had THE role in it.
3) How friggin sweet would it be if God were a wombat... really. (Side note: The LDS church believes God to look like man... or more aptly put... that man looks like God.)
According to Mormon religion, a group of people around 600 BC left the Mid-East and sailed to the American continent.
Things you're missing... -There was also a group of people who inhabited the Americas at a very early stage in civilized man, also believed by the LDS church to have been directed by God. -Just because a group is sent, doesn't mean another can't inhabit it as well. Though no mention of non-Israelite tribes is made in the Book of Mormon, it does not mean there were others inhabiting the same area, who could have very well traveled to the Americas before, after, or between the two groups mentioned in the Book of Mormon. -(Note, I am a member of the LDS aka Mormon church, so this is a bias perspective, I know)... Within the church, the church leaders do a good job of leaving the Book of Mormon up to personal interpretation. That it is to say that there IS a set of actual events that happened (this goes for the Bible as well), however, the church does not hardline people on what they do or don't say has happened. There are times when people are out of line in their thoughts and will be corrected, but that is only in extreme cases (which I can't cite for lack of memory). I am at Brigham Young University, an LDS college, and amongst the faculty there are MANY varying opinions on the words of the Old Testament and Book of Mormon. I haven't found a single science professor who says that the Earth was made 6,000 years ago. Most also believe in evolution through natural selection. All professors are interviewed by one of our highest church officials before they are allowed to teach at BYU. An anthropology teacher who I had was very nervous about her interview because she wasn't sure what to say if they asked her about evolution. It was a job she wanted, but she felt she couldn't lie. When being interview by the church official and the topic came up, she responded that she did believe in evolution and that even though she believed in it, she firmly felt that God had a hand in how evolution occured. The church official responded, "Good. So do I."
We're not all crackpot, polygamist musical people. Some are very well grounded and believe most of all in the benevolence of God, the atonement of Jesus Christ, and the ideaology of love, forgiveness, and selflessness. After that, science is fair game.
Oh if I had mod points, you'd be going insightful out the wazoo.
"Up the line" overtime is really what ought to be done. If the CEO is staying every night he is forcing division leaders to force managers to force employees to stay, I'm sure things would start getting noticed real quick.
More than anything, I'm intently reading this thread as a 19-year-old who realizes he may have to work management at some point. Knowing little tricks like this to increase work group morale... I feel like I could better run a project knowing stuff like this.
As a side note, it was John Kenneth Galbraith, a famous US economist (who was born in Canada, but enjoyed the freedoms the US constitution provided and took US citizenship) who that quote is from.
3rd degree burns involve all skin layers. Skin is either white and soft (appears cooked), or black, charred and leathery, Because the burned area is pale, it may be mistaken for normal skin in fair-skinned people, but it does not blanch on pressure. There may be no pain in the initial stages and the burnt area may have no feeling when touched. Third degree burns are usually not painful because the nerve endings in the skin have been destroyed. Burnt areas cannot heal spontaneously.
I'm thoroughly impressed that your stove managed to burn you and you continued exposure of your body to it so that it could then burn another layer of skin. I'm even more impressed that for that to have happened, all the nerves would have had to have been destroyed immediately and you would have felt nothing for moments. Or you're just full of it.
Really, I am going along those lines... but I've been having an insanely hard time finding a candidate in the third parties. I've looked through everything and most are tad too "radical" for me. Case in point, the Constitutional Party. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints (Mormons) and even I think these guys are radical nut-job religious fanatics. Then there's the Green party which I'm outrageously against. Liberterian Party is the closest thing I've found to even remotely liking, and even then they're a bit too much for me.... does anyone have any suggestions on good third-party candidates and reference links?
What you're missing is that the Consitution and the found of the United States lends itself completely to a two-party system. Election rules and the electoral college are guards to a two-party system. Since the entire United States has been around, two parties have been in power. (Starting with the Federalists and Anti-Fedarlists.) As it is, all third-party candidates is decide who to take votes away from. And for a third party to begin to take serious command, it would leave a hole for few years in which the new party would be "stealing" votes from one main party and dominately put one or the other parties in. (If the Green Party were to gain more support, it would put the Democrats at a disadvantage and while the Liberterian Party would do well to pull both DNC and GOP members, it would draw away many more conservatives.)
I don't know how I personally feel about the two-party system we have in place. I don't know if a powerful third-party would really do much. But I do know that the idea that we have a multi-party system is merely rhetoric being spewed on a technicality. It might not be on paper, but it is definitely ingrained into our government.
I will "cry you a river" but at the same time, that's why I make contributions to charitable organizations who can take care of that. I don't need the government to tax me so I'm moral. I choose to be moral.
I bought a Targus bag and I am absoloutely in love with it. However, I do use a slightly larger laptop (around 6 lbs, 16" screen, Vaio) and my laptop fits almost too snugly into my the laptop protection slide that is in most Targus bags. If you have a larger laptop, make sure you try it before you buy it.
That aside, I've been using my Targus bag for over a year now, bought it for $35 and I love it. Carries all the books I ever need, place for my mouse and all my cables... great bag.
The key difference is that one is a wide-spread religion that an estimated 2 billion people are apart of and believe in and the other shows severe tendancies of egocentrism that is displayed in less than 3% of the population.

I saw this movie with my family when I was about 12... horrible... horrible movie. If anyone has the brass to admit to seeing this, I'm sure they will verify this.
PayPal is going to loose the same amount of cash no matter what. The fewer people who sign up for this "rebate," the more money the ones who do sign up, get. That's the nature of a class action lawsuit. So if only 4 people sign up for this thing, each is going to get around 1.5 million dollars. Highly unlikely, but possible. Now, it's possible that say 60,000 people sign up for it and receive about 100 dollars back.
