a lot of women's profiles are very honest that they're not looking for fat or ugly guys.

At the moment, i can say all the nasty things i want about the current regime and be fine.
Despite what all the paranoid loonies say about him, Bush hasn't made the USA into a police state. Nowhere near. Not saying I agree with him, there's certainly a case to answere about the Iraq war and all the money he's been making from his pals in the oil indu BRB, someone at the door.
Perhaps that says more about the (quite small) range of offences it can be applied to than it does about deterrence in general.
One thing's certain, when it comes to financial crimes just making the offender hand back his ill-gotten gains isn't much of a deterrent; worst the crook can do is break even.
Hanlon's razor states: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity".
It sounds very nice, but you could use that as a defence against almost anything. People and companies need to take responsibility for their actions, even when mistaken - if it was a genuine mistake (not some kind of bait and switch) one can assume they'll learn from it and it won't happen again.

Yes - and he's also a Castro.
Put it another way, when we can all do that there'll be no need to shift the clock around. I won't hold my breath.
Obviously God, due to his being omniscient and all that, remembered to bring a flashlight. And batteries, lots of batteries.
Just use some of the hydrocarbons to drive generators to electrolyse water.

Waiter, kindly bring me another portion of strawman with a double side of ill-informed ranting!
I'm an old Korean and I got distracted by the robot, you insensitive clod!!!!
The best you can do is infer them from behaviour, but that's not proof.
He wants to do all of that, but not for people like you.
You do not. And what's more, you're Spartacus.
I reckon they've run out of those stupid extra 'u's that they randomly insert in words so they're using 'e's instead.
