I'm a carpenter (albeit 20 years old and only an apprentice) but I can tell you that fiberglass is worse for you than almost anything else in the construction industry. The only reason it's still legal is cause they have nothing else to replace it with.
Godwin's Law is only applicable when the spirit the law (comparing someone/something to the crimes of the nazi's or hitler) is met, which 'censorship nazi' does not meet.
If I say the holocaust didn't happen, I go to jail. If I demand the torture and beheading of someone for merely drawing a cartoon picture of my religions prophet it's perfectly acceptable? I see an epic breakdown of logic here.
This is America, not France/*insertshittyeuropeancountryhere* where the muslims are allowed to run free protesting all the values of western civilization (freedom) and calling for the beheading and execution of anyone who even talks negatively about islam, let alone draws a cartoon.
People's misconceptions are one of the greatest causes of the lack of profitability because of all the insane hoops plant owners have to go through to get them built/run them. We could use Breeder reactors, but ZOMG TERRORISTS and ZOMG PROLIFERATION make that not allowable to congressman.
The only reason they are so expensive is the public being fucking dumb and not knowing jackshit about nuclear power other than seeing the word nuclear and thinking OMG TIMEBOMB IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD or OMG TERRORIST TARGET!! even though a nuclear reactor containment vessel is one of the most impenetrable things ever built. It can survive a direct hit from a 747 with very little damage whatsoever, let alone breaking.
How can you even call autohit in pvp 'skill'? WoW pvp is immensely dependent on gear/class/level, with player skill only making up a fraction of the equation, and even then the only skill is knowing when to mana dump or time your skill uses / cooldowns.
Turbine fucked upbecause they are utterly inept and incapable of running an MMORPG. Look at what they did to Asheron's Call. While it was never terribly successful, it was one of THE BEST games lore wise and pvpwise out there. This was when Microsoft ran the show, then once they bought the game rights from MS they sent that game down the shitter. The fast and fluid pvp was ruined via an unending amount of defense/hp boosting items as well as ever increasing amounts of instant heal items. They introduced in one patch the ability to debuff the breastplate (or any piece of armor covering the breastplate area, which included full coats of armor covering upper and lower arms as well as abdomen) so that melees/archers could essentially one hit people. It took 2 days for them to hotfix it as hundreds of accounts were cancelled all at once. They couldn't even handle compressing all the bitmaps with the Throne of Destiny expansion, which exploded the amount of memory the client used from 20-40megs, 60 if you had a memleak, to over 200 for a single client.
Asian culture is the antithesis of democracy. Just like the Russians are basically bred to need a dictator style government, the Chinese need a government that takes care of them without their question. Harmony means more to them than individual freedom, ask most people in China if that is true and most will say yes.
Also, why is everyone so keen on spreading democracy, one of the WORST forms of government, around the world? And no, the United States is not a democracy, we are a republic, and a very poor one at that as of late.
You aren't obese through body weight, anyone who thinks that is an ignorant jackass. You are obese through outward appearance. Most bodybuilders fall into the obese category, but have almost no body fat. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, and obese refers to people who have an excess of body FAT, not muscle.
1. The majority of fat people are that way because they are irresponsible, not due to some legitimate medical condition.
2. Leeching is still a common practice, especially in the case of severed fingers/limbs which are reattached, as a means of getting the blood flowing to them again faster.
And here I thought all the people I know with hydroponic setups were running CO2 blowers on their Cash Crop (TM) plants to make them grow bigger faster and increase their yield but large amounts. I was such a dummy, thank you.
Comic book implying super hero. Xmen sucked, Sin city wasn't super heroes, and Spiderman could have been MUCH better. Watch Iron Man and compare it to all the super hero comic book movies, and you will see that they all suffer from Epic Fail (tm) compared to it.
Marvel is making the movie this time. So far no comic book to movie adaptation has been good simply because the big studios don't give a shit about the movie, whereas the owners of the material, aka the comic book companies, have an inherent love for their superheroes/characters, case in point was the iron man movie, which was epic fucking win. And it was marvel's first attempt at making amovie.
Read point 5.
Federal prisons were estimated to hold 176,268 sentenced inmates as of Sept. 30, 2006. Of these, 16,507 were incarcerated for violent offenses, including 2,923 for homicide, 9,645 for robbery, and 3,939 for other violent crimes. In addition, 10,015 inmates were serving time for property crimes, including 519 for burglary, 6,437 for fraud, and 3,059 for other property offenses. A total of 93,751 were incarcerated for drug offenses. Also, 54,336 were incarcerated for public-order offenses, incluging 19,496 for immigration offenses and 24,298 for weapons offenses.
That's just federal, here's states:
According to the American Corrections Association, the average daily cost per state prison inmate per day in the US is $67.55. State prisons held 249,400 inmates for drug offenses in 2006. That means it cost states approximately $16,846,970 per day to imprison drug offenders, or $6,149,144,050 per year.
The reason there are so many incarcerated and it costs so much to keep them so is the drug war tbh, and it's spectacular failure and completely unlawful basis.

It's more a matter of just common sense. If I hire you to design something for me, and you give me a shitty design yet a month later open a business with a top notch design for the same product, aka the design you promised me, I'd go kick the shit out of you. Sadly I wouldn't be able to do that legally, so my only recourse would be to sue you. IMO they should just get a bunch of thugs together and have a towel party with the guy.
Uh, apparently you don't know shit about the public education system. In my high school (i'm 20 now) we were prepared for weeks prior to the CAPT (Connecticut state testing) and all other standardized tests on how to take them, how to answer them, and given practice tests almost daily. The 'standards' dont do shit except encourage schools to go all the way up to but not quite giving out cheat sheets. No Child Left Behind fucks over schools that already do well overall because once the student body is already doing pretty well overall they don't really have much higher to go, so how the fuck are they supposed to keep increasing their standing to get more funding? It's a fucking joke.
Whenever the federal government gets involved in things like education, they fuck it up. Department of Education and No Child Left Behind ring any bells?

Pretty sure, atleast in the US, freedom of speech stops when you are using your speech to incite violence.

They should have gone a step further and told Lieberman off for being a censorship nazi.

His money would be much more well spent, and given long term value, if he spent it on a nuclear power plant.

Unless you work out, BMI is fairly accurate to be honest

The guy blatantly stole information and scammed them pretty fucking hard.

Last I saw it was Pluto, Saturn, Titan, Jupiter, and Mars all having 2-3degrees celsius temperature rises.
You failed to contest either of my points. You lost before you even left the starting gate.
