Actually in the U.S. you don't have to register yourself at the local city office. I've moved many times (through college, grad school, and job life) and have never gone to any local office to register myself. There is no mechanism to do it here.
"Rather than spreading out and destroying other planets/moons/celestial bodies, how about first learning, as a species, how to preserve the planet we are already on?"
Give me a break.
How about this instead: Rather than you traveling out and destroying other rooms/streets/cities, how about you first learning, as an individual, to preserve the room you're already in.

I don't think the conclusion depends at all on whether the fetus is a huma being. Let's say it is, just like you or I.
We (you and I) do not have the right to force a woman to endure a pregnancy and give birth to a child if she doesn't want to. Even if our life is forfeit if she does not (say we need a marrow transplant from the hypothetical child).
Just as we do not have that right, neither does the baby/fetus/blob_of_protoplasm. WHAT it actually is doesn't matter.
It's the shadow of a contrail. The atmosphere has some haze, so the sunlight is reflecting off the air in all areas but the contrail shadow.
The list portion of the cloud on the right indicates that the sun is above and to the left of the photo, exactly where it would be to make such a shadow.
As a pilot, I've seen this while flying a couple of times, and a few times from the ground. Watch carefully the next time a contrail is exactly in line with the sun (so from your POV the contrail crosses the sun).

Yet it does talk about a rabbit chewing its cud - which is false.
Actually, it's "The men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents...and they're men!"
Now, if they CGI Leah's gold bikini onto mirror-Sato I'm gonna have to hold my objections long enough to get some, er, private time before I complain.
"It's apparently illegal even to be seen carrying a bible in school."
Apparently you've confused 'carrying' with 'beating others over the head with'. It's a common mistake evangelicals make all the time.

"Welcome to the Internet, where men are men, women are men, and 16 year old girls are FBI agents." ...and they're men!
And most likely Bones will be played by...bones.

"Unfair is one nation producing over 25% of global CO2 emissions ..."
"...and produce 31% of the worlds output." Conveniently, you forgot this part. Seems a common oversight.

"Read my lips. The US contains 5% of the world's population but consumes 25% of the world's resources."
I had to respond to this, with the fact the poster conveniently left out:
The U.S. produces 31% of the worlds output.
Thus, we use the energy more efficiently than the rest of the world.
