This is what I'm talking about. When I think of liberal thought, it refers to tolerance of opinions, within the realm of physics; And if my effluent does not harm folks downstream, I'm free to do as I will in my own corner of the planet. The whole idea hangs on the presumption of a moral conscience and "reason" on the part of the citizen, which is where the fault seems to lay, as the ignorant masses support the criminal acts of the freebooters who've corrupted the system whilst touting the principals that they flout and subvert by their deeds. It's on television, so I guess Jerry Mander was correct about what that would do.
I only knew one Lakota, and he was a LaVey Satanist, but I try to think of the children seven generations down, as I think some tribes acknowledge. perpetuate the species, and all.
I have trouble with this current semantic confusion regarding the term liberal. The conservatives have adopted a posture claiming most of the core liberal tenets, yet truly adhere to the reactionary conservative approach to life. Liberal thought is what our country was founded on, but most have a poor concept of freedom.
I'd landscape a "lawn" of Lippia repens, if it was me, and comply with the local ordinance, without using ridiculous amounts of water. As far as that goes, a requirement to reuse household greywater to sustain our landscaping is something that should be implemented in all intelligently-run urban areas. Freshwater is nearly as precious as topsoil, and should be regarded as a finite commodity. IIRC, Orange has a kind of HOA approach to city ordinances, and the Has should have checked that out before buying into that scene. Representative democracy pretty much ensures that the stupids are in charge, so expect a ratcheting downward of all the good things.
I was actually trying to set up some lame joke regarding the redundancy of your restated post, but I was defeated by the filter. Sorry. Anyway, a few feet of soil would provide useful protection for some lead shielding. I like it. I am actually more concerned about Gamma-Ray bursts, but don't think I'll do too much to prepare for that.
Yeah, I'd heard that paraquat caused permanent lung damage, but that info seemed to be coming from the same source as the warnings about brain damage, so I didn't buy it. According to "them" now, it didn't cause any permanent damage, and coughing up that blood was probably unrelated, as are the chronic lung problems I've had since 1978. Just an unrelated anecdote, off-topic as usual.
Did you RTF... nevermind. I remember fooling around out there in a kayak back in the seventies. (My mom was living on one of those boats for a while) I rolled the kayak, and as I was floundering around trying to get back out of the drink, I noticed a large turd floating by. It took about two weeks to get the film washed off my skin, and I've pretty much been done with swimming, &c., ever since. Clean Water Act FTW! Another time I moved into a squat down in Hollywood, and I'm not even going to taint the pages of/. with a description of the conditions that wanted correction. Lets just say that Tweakers seem to be quite sub-human. My point is, if we're going to embrace sub-standard housing, we need to maintain a safe level of hygiene and control our sewage. There seems to be a strong correlation between stupidity and slum-dwelling, so guidance will be wanted in that regard.
Okay for you guys, maybe. We always end up in some loud intractable debate, and then the ad-hominem attacks start, and Bob knows JUST how to get my goat... (It often leads to fisticuffs.) So, speak for yourselves.
Warning: Links a little too "in depth". I wish I could say tl;dr. Save yourselves. I've always presumed it was a biblical reference to both meanings, maybe leaning a bit towards the multiple demonic personality thing.
Well, I, for one, am extremely disappointed that this does not involve some IRL mass, shirtless demonstrations. I think the sight a few thousand pair of pasty, flopping man-boobs would make people sorry they ever crossed horns with anonymous. Then we'd see who's really looking out for the kids. (The goggles; They do nothing!)
Imagine my surprise to discover that cashing a check at the bank it was drawn on was subject to a $6 fee. I don't imagine this is done in civilized countries, and it seems to disagree with the contract written on the check.
I'd be less skeptical of the Nuclear Industry if they weren't run by people with PhDs in subjects like "Controlling Product Life Cycles". Same as not buying Chinese Baby Food, this is just a groundless prejudice of mine; YMMV.
From TFA: "I don't like to do business with people who, apparently as far as I can tell, think sucker punching you when they disagree, even if they have the right to do it, is the way to go about this." I found it affirms my opinion of the situation. YMMV. As in many of these type of debates, your opinion is balanced against a very small subset of idealists who will let moral issues influence their business dealings. That's what.
Time to get a new edition of the Legal Dictionary, the one with the correct interpretations of words you THOUGHT you knew, like Common Law, and Common Sense.
I was thinking of copyrighting my data so I could sue these people for infringement. I'd like to sell it to someone with better taste than Bill, and would probably hold out for a better licensing deal.
"People who are sexually aroused by children are broken" You know what? The Idea of sex with children, not counting the actual criminal rape aspects, but I mean the arousal thing, doesn't disgust me any more than the idea of sex with another guy. Are my gay friends broken? Is my disgustometer miscalibrated? I have never perceived anything like that, YMMV. AFAICT the people in positions of power share your attitude, so you can casually disavow any responsibility for the persecution of these "broken people". I myself support some moderation on this issue. AFAIK no one has alleged that this unfortunate man ever personally acted on whatever impulses he might be feeling. Isn't the deviant urge punishment enough? As far as I'm concerned your opinions are as well thought out as the Underwear Bomber's, and probably not quite as well substantiated by facts. I could be wrong about that; It's only an OPINION, based on your post, which may or may not reflect your true humanity. In a democracy, average people's opinions are the basis of the Law. Silly me, I'm in favor of fact-based Justice. The idea of punishing someone who hasn't actually hurt anyone is, in actual fact, abhorrent to me.
This is the "slippery slope", and we seem to be sliding down it. Actually, the Australians don't have the "Constitutional Privileges" like we enjoy here, but the issue is the same. Where do you draw the line on some arbitrary construct that criminalizes behavior? In Australia we see where the line runs. Actually in this case it would appear that the perp may actually be the kind of creep that the law is meant to apply to, but I could also see how this is really a thought crime, and am not so sure punishment is justifiable to anyone but a true blue Ku Klux Kristian. YMMV, but do please tell me where I'm wrong.
"I am not now, nor have I ever been, a trained journalist. "John" contacted me out of the blue and the first part of the interview was conducted with no preparation whatsoever, and I had no idea when (if) he would call again. I was, frankly, winging it." The author responded to a similar comment in TFA.

They don't want rational argument, so they do stupid things like this.
Flamewars FTW!

D-oh!
Wouldn't that be redundant?
Could get colder, or not. Maybe France gets a new Sun King?
It's a fair cop.

It's actually only 6.37 times what they said it was, you unmathematical clod. ;p
I prefer resonant induction stories, for the zaniness quotient.
