The only thing a degree from a larger more prestigious school gets you is the connection. "Hey this guys from./ A&M, and I went there so let's bring him in for an interview."
Probably the biggest thing employers look for when you graduate is your attitude and ability to work within a team. The actual work you did in school is somewhat important so when you interview have a portfolio of your projects.
Now that they've changed the rules and upped the prizes per answer, it's possible to be a millionaire by playing Jeopardy. Back in my day you could only be champ for 5 minutes and the prize per answer was.10 to $1.... and that was on Double Jeopardy.... and you know what? We LOVED it.
Don't know how much I agree with that. Sometimes the studio exec's ok a movie that's championed by an actor/actress/director that's on a hot streak. One need look no further than Battlefield Earth.
No one can deny how bad it is, I mean when they read the script and it says, "...Fade in, John Travolta walks in on stilts...." they should have laughed their collective asses off and get gotten the "not just no, hell no" stamp out.
But it was championed by Travolta so the exec's didn't stop this waste of film.
So you are saying that Marriage (the defination) was most recently defined by the Christian Church?
Nope, most marriage cerimonies world wide a presided over by a person of the religious caste. That tells me that the institution is a religous one, not a secular one. But it's a religious institution recognized by secular governments.
marriage 1a. The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife. b. The state of being married; wedlock. c. A common-law marriage. d. A union between two persons having the customary but usu. not the legal force of marriage: a same sex marriage.
b. the state of being (in a) legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife.
c. A common-law legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife.
d. hmmm... seems kinda outa place....
In your example, you used the word water to indicate bacon. If you and I agreed that we could call bacon, water, then I would know what you were talking about and I would get you bacon and the following would seem true:
The point is we don't agree. What then are the options?
Okay let's start with an obvious one, homosexuals cannot procreate naturally. You don't see that as a big difference?
Another thing Homosexuality means you're having sex with the same sex versus the opposite sex. You don't see that as being a difference? Or are you too busy bumping uglies with their mind?
Ever notice it's the same gullible people in your address book that forwards info like this on time and time again; cause we all know EVERYTHING on the Internet is true.
Have we gotten so lazy that we can't check it out on snopes first? It's not like I'm asking you to go get a book or anything that labor intensive. They're on the freaking Internet fer crying out loud. If you have the time to hit the forward button you have the time to check snopes!
No seriously, I just fried up a couple of slivers in the pan over there. Get it for me with the fork.
Uh... that's bacon.
No, it's water.
Why is it water?
Because it wanted to be given the same rights and privileges as water, I went ahead and recognized it as water.
But water is H2O not side of a pig.
Well damnnation apparently the wrod(sic) is not the thing (or idea) that it represents.
The word marriage has a very specific definition. When you change the situation you are trying apply the word to does not fit the meaning then use a different word.
Marriage as an institution was born in a religious context for a specific purpose. So a man and woman can procreate without violating religious rules and to provide a clear lineage so the thorny issues of inheritence can be traced. People can still break these rules, but that does not change the original intent of the institution. Homosexual marriage is therefore an oxymoron.
Okay, so you're saying that the idea isn't to give homosexual couples the same rights and privileges as heterosexuals who are married, the whole idea is to legitimize a lifestyle that most people in America are unwilling to legitimize.
There is no difference and anyone who thinks otherwise is simply a stick in the mud
uh... I beg to differ. There are huge differences, anyone who thinks otherwise has an agenda.
I don't have an issue if homosexuals want to get together and have the same rights as married heterosexuals. Just don't make me throw out my dictionary in the process. Call it something else like "legal union" and then make sure "legal unions" get the same benefits as "marriages".
Also, it sound's like you're engaging in the same kind of manipulation with the use of words like "outdated religious code". I don't care if you want to do it, just don't be a hypocrite by complaining about it.
And as a side note, this same outdated religious code tells us to love one another. Maybe we should replace that with something more up-to-date like don't offend one another.
When I was an engineering student, we had supersoaker fights on our floor of the dorm. Some buddies of mine decided the pressure of the supersoaker wasn't "devastating" enough. So they proceeded to replace the regular pump with a small basketball/football/soccerball/dodgeball pump.
It failed miserably, come to think of it maybe it was a good thing they failed out of engineering. I'd hate to be driving across a bridge these two worked on.

I don't remember one that has.
However, movies to games have had more success, ie. Tron. Is it because the user wants to interact as one of the characters?

At least that's been what I've seen...

True, but you know what they say about religion and politics.... I don't remember, was there a thread when the Passion of the Christ came out?
But anywhoo..., I'm going to say 800 posts, mostly about why this does or doesn't belong on /..
They can't even get my luggage from one plane to another when they're next to each other.
Now if they mean they have a harder time losing track of the luggage then I would agree with the above statement.

Yeah, go get me some water with the fork.
You can't
