i can't imagine what life with a palate that couldn't taste the difference between organic and non-organic food would be like. Then again, organic means a little more up here in Canada. Tell me, can you taste the difference between canadian and US milk?
If the earth can't sustain a certain population, maybe we shouldn't force it? After all, how long can you overspend before your bank account is emptied?
science has finally discovered one of the purposes of the appendix. Just because science doesn't understand what an objects purpose is doesn't mean it has no purpose.
or considering that early christians lived in communes where they had to give all of their possessions to the commune, they might have been in it for the dough. After all, there's the story of the couple that were struck dead for not giving all of their possessions.
Moot point, since Jesus said we are all the sons of man and the sons of god, just like he is. Catholicism bastardised that into the trinity and assigning a special place to jesus.
Thank you AC, you brought back all those fond memories of 'makes careless mistakes' written all over my report cards since grade school to university:)
You obviously seem to have some insight into the problem in this area, the cause, and an easy way to implement a solution.
So, why don't you make that known to the relevant authorities instead of bitching about it on Slashdot? Use your knowledge to correct misunderstandings and injustices, that's what it's there for, and usually all you have to do is explain it to the right person. If you can't be bothered to find that right person, then you really have no right to bitch and complain:)
You need to be accurate in your wording. THC reduces programmed response times. It does not affect response times for activities done with awareness.
So yes, it may reduce the period of time that it takes you to slam on the brakes automatically when you are not paying attention to the road (which most non-intoxicated drivers frequently do, drive on autopilot). If you are paying attention, no biggie.
YOu might want to check this out with something that needs fast reaction times. though here on slashdot, not sure there's much besides fast typing to be had:) Juggling 5 balls and up will definitely make it clear.
OMG, that's too funny. I don't keep track of the 3 ring circus which is american politics, but is that the worst anti-obamists could dig up on Obama? His birth certificate might not be legit???? That's too funny!
Hmm, it might be even funnier if they were right and he's a specially reared muslim fanatic deep under-cover to subvert the Capitalist perversion which is the states. At least that would make for better headlines, instead of OMG, Obama's NOT a Pisces, but really a Taurus!!
yoga and tai chi don't use muscle contraction for movement, they use muscle expansion, hence the reason why you can 'hold' positions for long periods of time.
Please don't try to argue unless you can be in handstand and carry on a conversation effortlessly for over a minute. Because if you can't, you have no internal knowledge of mechanics and posture.
Nah, the heart isn't the only muscle that contributes to blood pumping. Those huge leg muscles help pump with every single movement.
Then, in some bizarre never before seen biological feat, the scientists will discover that the blood also gets moving by thermal differences between the head and the body. Going for $20, any takers?
Scientists will also forget their stupidity and realize that dinosaurs don't constantly hold the same posture. After all, how much blood do you need in your head when your brain is in your ass? Amazingly, they'll discover that if a dinosaur starts to get pins and needles in their head, they just have to lower their head to chew on some low lying foliage and their blood supply to their peanut brains gets restocked.
Actually, that's not what you wrote. You wrote a circular argument.
You say cars are good because they help with your city layouts, except that your city layouts are designed with cars in mind, so of course they are going to help with your city layouts.
Basically you're saying "just imagine what our car designed cities would be like if we didn't have cars. It would be so horrible, it's such a blessing that we have cars!"
However, those car designed cities would never exist with out the cars!!
Besides, american layouts still suck compared to most other cities that use cars as well. I live in a suburb surrounded by trees and by foot i can reach malls, ~40 restaurants, 3 major supermarkets, farmers markets, a library, rec centre, movie theatre, swimming pools, parks, forest, schools, and the list goes on. I'd absolutely hate living in an american suburb where i'd have to drive to get to the corner store!!
Not really. Program the cars to display swarm behaviours and maybe have boundary beacons on the side of roads. No crashing into each other and no going off the side of the road.
What's odd about it? Not everybody turns into Einstein just by reading about his life. You don't become a mechanic just by driving a car. Buddha didn't become enlightened by reading stuff, he became enlightened through contemplation.
Religions get off track because they are populated by ordinary people who instead of communing with reality by themselves, look to others for what reality is.
Is it really so hard to comprehend that the sheep scatter and go astray when the shepherd is absent?
So it was basically due to stupid people making decisions without understanding the possible consequences? Oh, and greedy people exploiting the stupid people.
How is any of that a problem with the system?
When are we going to figure out that humans and ignorance are always the problem of every system, and fix that!

You're ranting about USA organics. It means something else in pretty much everywhere else in the world.

look up the research. It's there.
maybe because we're just cogs in the genetic program? It's all about creating the perfect dna, not multiplying for no reason. Evolution has direction.
um, are you seriously implying that film critics are a benefit to society? What are you, a film critic?
Are you volunteering for the position? Or are you just good at bitching?

Remember folks, you saw it here first!
Obviously someone posing way beyond his means.

If there weren't any cars, the cities and road networks would not have developed as they have, and so your example is meaningless.
Sorry, that's the Catholic version. Not all christianity agrees about the trinity.
um, 5 of those share the same god! Of course, the 2 in the middle have infinite deities.
Religions get off track because they are populated by ordinary people who instead of communing with reality by themselves, look to others for what reality is.

Do they spin in the right direction though(clockwise)? Otherwise you'd be turning them into damnation wheels.
North and South americans? You're going to piss off all those people in central america. :)
