I didn't know who Heath Ledger was till I heard he died, and I honestly didn't give a fuck either way. After seeing the movie, I wanna go down to hell/heaven or wherever he is and kick the shit out of him for killing himself because no one can possibly live up to the portrayal of the joker that he performed. I don't give a shit either way about him killing himself other than that. Best acting I've EVER seen.
If only CO2 actually was the cause for global warming! Every ice core sample taken shows that CO2's only relation to warming is that as sea water gets warmer, it releases more CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 rises lag behind temp rises by decades/centuries in all samples taken.

That's quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time, and my girlfriend usually takes that award on a daily basis. He OD'ed on prescription drugs, where exactly does that fit into the character of the Joker?

Ledger's Joker is absolutely insane. I've NEVER in my life seen better acting. He has a psycho aura about him that cannot be recreated by any of today's actors. If you haven't seen the movie then you can't even begin to appreciate what people are saying about it.
What right does the government have to demand a citizen undergo RELIGIOUS counseling (that is what AA, and in essence, all 12 step programs are, the first step is admitting you have a problem that only 'a higher power than yourself' can fix and you must place your trust in him, meaning god)? Pretty sure that's a clear violation of the First Amendment.
A few roads, and a few pipelines that the animals actually love. There's a pipeline already in alaska iirc where the enviromental nuts freaked out saying the pipeline would harm the environment, but it's actually been a boon due to the heat given off by them that many animals like to nest/bed by.
Have you ever seen pictures of ANWR? I should say picture, without the s, because one picture says it all. Most of the 20million acres is just that, barren tundra. Drilling for oil would use maybe a few thousand acres at most. All you psycho environuts need to start putting things into perspective.
It's not that there are few women in construction, it's that they only go into it for a free ride. I work in New Haven CT primarily, I'm a carpenter and yale owns like half of New Haven and is ALWAYS running like 20 jobs at the same time, and I've met about a dozen or so women on the various jobs I've been on in 2 years. Every single one of them only have their job to meet a quota. The quotas are as follows; Females, Minorities, and New Haven Residents. Atleast 75% or so of the women were Black residents of New Haven. I've met one woman, who was white, that actually was interested and had a good work ethic and everything, but she just couldn't keep up with any of us men.
The Concorde's downfall was not pricing, it was routing. They couldn't fly over residential / populated areas due to noise complaints from the sonic booms, causing them to take huge detours over basically everywhere other than the oceans.
I never said involving a hand gun. Violent crime on the whole is on a massive spike/rise since the hand gun has been introduced, effectively guaranteeing that muggers/robbers/home invaders do not have ot fear that the home owner has one. This is coupled with how retarded Britain's self defense laws are.
Assume? Every single statistic since the handgun ban went into effect has shown violent crime on the rise. Almost unanimously, interviewed criminals state their only fear is that their victim is armed.
I worded it poorly, I'll give you that. Home invasions generally occur when the occupants are not home so as to avoid a confrontation. But, since the handgun ban, all violent crime has gone up, most especially home invasion while the dwelling is occupied. Why? Because the criminals have NOTHING to fear. Without The Great Equalizer (tm) possibly being held in the home, they are free to do as they please.
I don't have the time nor the care to post the hundreds of links to criminals being interviewed, at least in the US, stating that the only thing that would ever deter them from fucking with someone is the possibility of them packing a gun.
So what about all the times people have used guns to stop massacres from occurring? There was a law school where an off duty cop and a student both ran to their vehicles and pulled out privately owned firearms and took control of the situation and stopped the massacre from going beyond I think it was 1 or 2 killed. Or just recently some nutjob went crazy knifing people in a store and an old woman pulled out her gun and stopped him (didn't shoot him but he gave up pretty quick when he saw that)
There is a reason the gun is called The Great Equalizer. It's the only way an old woman can stand up to a 200lb man intent on harming her.
What happened in the UK when they outlawed firearms? Oh yea! Violent crime, especially home invasions WHILE THE OCCUPANTS WERE HOME exploded. The only thing a criminal fears is his victim having a gun/means to defend themself.
Your one point goes against the overwhelming evidence that when you ban firearms, or any form of weapon you can carry on you person to defend yourself, violent crime goes up. Britain anyone? Home invasions while the family/owner are home is the norm now. Almost all criminals who are interviewed have said that the only thing they fear when robbing a house/person is that they have a gun. Ban the guns, and they have nothing to fear.
In CT atleast, if you are caught pissing in an alleyway or on the street (in essence exposing yourself) you have a good chance of ending up on the sex offender list.
Not a single person was harmed in the Three Mile Incident, and in modern reactors a full meltdown is physically impossible as far as I know. The physics involved cause the reactor core to stop, well, reacting if a meltdown scenario (in an older plant) begins to occur.
I cannot say to the former, but both latter points are supported by the libertarian ideals of doing whatever the fuck you want as long as it does not infringe on someone else's rights, within the timeframe that they occurred. Blacks and indians were considered barbaric/subhuman, and therefore not afforded the same rights as civilized whites. Furthermore, we didn't invent slavery, and africans didn't either, but they were damn well happy to sell us slaves they captured in wars between their tribes.
Says the guy with multiple friends over in Iraq, 2 of which are in the Special Forces, who told him almost word for word that those guys who are all OMG I"M AFRAID are pussies and should get slapped around and maybe have some sense knocked into them.
Once you started typing this response you lost.
You especially lost when you started saying that the soldiers are scared and crying in a corner cause they might die. We've lost what, 4000 or so in 4 years? That number is so fucking small if any of those soldiers are scared of dieing they need to get the shit kicked out of them. You are more likely to get hit by a car crossing the street than a soldier in Iraq is to get killed or injured.

That's why you get a coin for completing each step in the program, and each coin has a biblical verse on it. Yea, totally not christian based at all!
I'm also referring to how a huge portion of alcohol related offenses end with the judge requiring AA, and only AA, as a way to stay out of jail.
What right does the government have to demand a citizen undergo RELIGIOUS counseling (that is what AA, and in essence, all 12 step programs are, the first step is admitting you have a problem that only 'a higher power than yourself' can fix and you must place your trust in him, meaning god)?

Actually all recent evidence points to paid workers being used to build the pyramids, and not slaves like the bible claims.

How about the racist beliefs/feelings that nearly all blacks hold for whites?
