Dude, you're bitching about the fact we haven't encountered Martians yet, but you're speaking their fucking language.
Not only that, but he left out the second 'e'. "Enthushtaotibelastic" means excited and interested, "enthushtaotiblastic" is a form of shark sushi. Honestly, people, this is first year stuff in Kiiwohl School. Grammar matters on Mars - if he'd said that to the local Gringkel, he'd be a steaming plate of enthushtaotiblastic now.
Actually the context (Deut. 19:15-21) is in reference to false testimony given during a trial. If a witness was found to have deliberately given false testimony, then he was to be punished in the same way the defendant would have been if he had been convicted on the false testimony.
Deuteronomy 19:18-21 - "18 And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother, 19 then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you. 20 And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you. 21 Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." NKJV
Oh that we had such for the RIAA, eh?
There is a massive difference between beatings given in anger and simple physical discipline. My siblings and I got our fair share of spankings back when we were children, not because our parents were angry with us, but because they wanted to teach us not to do stuff like running out in the street as toddlers or playing with Dad's power tools in the garage.
Our parents were pretty good about keeping the dangerous stuff locked up, on high shelves, out of the way of little hands, but the world is full of potentially dangerous things and kids get very creative when it comes to injuring themselves. They don't yet have the understanding necessary to think things through to probably conclusions before they do them and have a great belief in their invincibility. Consequently, kids do some dumb, dangerous stuff. I know we sure did.
At the time, we learned "If I do this, I'll get a spanking" so we didn't do it because we didn't want to get spanked. Nobody waled on us with a belt or a 2x4, I don't ever remember getting a bruise, but it stung enough to make me want to avoid it. When we got older, we started realizing "If I'd gotten hit by a car while playing in the street, I'd probably be dead." D'oh! Our parents never punished us in anger, and while we might be mad at the time (I was just fine building a miniature gasoline-powered grill in my room to toast marshmallows! I knew what I was doing!) we knew our parents didn't want us to do things that would hurt us.
Ordinary, healthy discipline, whether physical (spanking, grounding) or limiting (no TV for a week, no dessert) should never be associated with abuse, which is given in anger and intended to hurt/humiliate the victim only to please the abuser.
Hmmph, I'd like to see a group of Daleks take on a similarly sized group of Tachikoma, that would be a fun fight.
T1: Batou-san! Giant salt-shakers are attacking the city! We're moving to intercept!
T2: Yes, yes, we tried talking to them but they only know one word.
T3: Maybe they've never had a full language database uploaded?
T4: Oooh! We should upload a full database to them, then we can ask them why they're here.
T1: Hehehe! I bet they can't understand logic paradoxes!
But the real question is what would the Cybermen make of someone like Major Motoko Kusanagi? Kindred spirit or hated enemy?
I don't know that they'd be alive long enough to find out.
Tune in to the next episode of Dr. Who versus Ghost in The Shell....
Actually, they do not "feel" this at all, it has been force-hammered into their heads from early childhood, when they minds could not defend themselves,
As opposed to having it hammered into their heads that something which is religious is necessarily backwards and wrong? I find it interesting that one who condemns religions for their backwardness is himself so intolerant of the beliefs of others.
Sorry about that. I'll just return the ammo I purchased for my Shakespeare Cannon - you're okay with airmail, right? The cannon will follow once I find a giant slingshot to load it in. Hope this clears up our problem!
I have a similar job. I scan 8x10 film images (yes, we have a camera that shoots 8x10 sheet film) taken of the old master paintings in our collection, digitizing the pictures for various types of reproduction. I will often spend over an hour in the scanning, and anywhere from half-a-day to multiple days tweaking the color and removing dust spots and artifacts introduced in the photo and scanning processes.
I'm all for putting thumbnails or low-rez versions out for the public, but the final high-quality, corrected digital image cost a lot of man-hours to produce and since we put in the work, I think we should be allowed to copyright it. (Not forever, of course - in time another image will be made in another digital medium and this one will be discarded.) We do, after all, own the paintings.
dvd::rip always gets the language mixed up (for example, when ripping 'Howl's Moving Castle,' one of the files it ripped to was in Japanese instead of English)
I'm not going to waste time trying to make a case for labor unions here, because if you don't easily see how important they are to us, then you're too stupid for me to talk to.
Frankly, if people don't stop discriminating against thieves, robbers, pilferers, bandits, crooks, larcenists, prowlers, plunderers and pirates in general, we're going to see a general strike from the whole industry - and think what that will do during the Economic Downturn!
If the Thieves' Guild goes on strike, we'll have unlicensed thievery running rampant.
We Brits have made some amazing advances in quilting technology since you came.
Doesn't surprise me at all. You folks invented textile machinery to begin with - I'm glad to see an historic science being applied to this close, personal area that affects us all! Perhaps British tp will become the new standard of luxury and imported for exorbitant prices, leading to an economic revolution in the UK.
The tp industry may end up in the crapper, but it's a better economic model then the one our President's pushing now . . .
Yeah. Sometimes I wonder why the most cost-effective and efficient fuels (oil, coal, nuclear) are the most demonized. Coal is evil and bad for the environment, use something else! Ok, how about oil? Oil is evil and limited, use something else! Ok, how about nuclear? Nuclear is evil and horribly dangerous, use something else!
Ok, how about solar or wind? Great!
BUT - it's going to be expensive up front and not very efficient on a nationwide scale for some time yet. I want my cheap power!
* sigh *

Yeah, but I have a Lightning Bolt and nothing else to use it on! Ooh, a spider - take this!
But do the data center modules come with glow-in-the-dark blocks?

But, there's absolutely nothing wrong with eating an animal which has been fed plants grown on manure, human or otherwise :P
Oh, I don't know, how about Hookworm?

Is there any other way to watch a Miyazaki?
I prefer to think of it as a stand alone complex.

Meh. *yawn*
Yes. Then the Americans tried to one-up them . . .
You can't have it both ways.
Awesome response. Kudos!

Must have been a long day - I laughed until I cried at this one. My co-workers (non-sci-fi enthusiasts) want to know what's so funny . . .
Racism == bad is just a dumb moral lesson? Sloth and bigotry aren't common real-world problems? Gosh. I must live on the wrong planet.
In soviet Russia . . . oh.

Like Humans!
Yes, but you can make Soylent Green out of them.
Of course not. The artists aren't the ones paying those expensive MediaSentry lawyers to get their lawful, hard-earned money back from . . . oh.
