On a message board I frequent, there's a prank going around where a "friend" of a Facebook user will report the death of the user to Facebook, along with a faked obituary (apparently there are websites where one can easily create same), and based solely on this Facebook will lock down the account into "memorial" status.
It's currently easier for a stranger to convince Facebook that you're dead than it is for you to convince them that you're still alive.
The only real "modern" Christianity movement with any longevity and a smattering of cohesion is the Evangelicals. Saying that some do or do no believe anything is somewhat pointless, since they can make up just about anything they want and it's "okay". Nonetheless, the overwhelming majority are certain that once you're Saved, you're good.
I frequent a message board or two with active religion sections that I browse from time to time. That generalization is far far FAR from the truth. The "works vs. grace" debate flares up often, and it gets quite heated.
That's always the catch, isn't it? I'm sure we've all seen the printed instructions with more handwritten addendums and notes in the margins then there is printed text.
This is true, but since my time is of value, and there are usually no stolen goods in my possession, it's generally more time-efficient to let the lady do her thing then explain myself to the cops.
Going with the "checking the bags when you leave" analogy, it's not the fact that the bags are being checked that annoys me, it's the act of having to queue at this final gatekeeper and wait for their OK before I can walk past.
If the stores could transparently scan these bags as I walk out with RFID tags or some such, inconvenience is gone and so are my complaints.
I don't think the act of merely having the database is the same as rifling through your stuff when you walk out the door

I sure feel great about my Nook purchase this week.
Fuck, beaten!
Two things:
1. It's James Rhodes.
2. Watch less wrestling.
Actually, no, it looks like you've just had a rash of shitty misogynistic opinions lately. Hey, maybe they make hormone therapy for that!

Your average jackass D.A. will prosecute anyone for anything.
I've been paying for Windows for most of my IT career...
Don't you mean that Windows has been paying you for most of your IT career? I know it has mine...
What about when you only have one hand free?
Let you retrieve the email you downloaded yesterday?
I take it the first Austin Powers is the only one you've seen then?
Think "Terminator Vision". Red hue optional.
Great, or sad, depending on your point of view.
Hardly a revolutionary finding, is it?
Admit it, you came here to post the same thing.
...Wolverine cost about $60 million more to make...
Wow, how sad is that?
How do you sue a company that is basicly in control of the government?
Threaten to sue the law changes to say its impossible to sue that company!
Is the company in control of the government, or is the government in control of the company?
I didn't realize they had these problems in Connecticut.
Imagine the market Amazon is missing not carrying the works of Edmund Wells.
Not to mention Charles Dikkens, the well known Dutch author.

I'm selfish like that.
