Ya, but the Sun is overhead and walls are vertical so we'll have to tip the whole planet to get maximum efficiency. That will be a huge PITA with stuff sliding around, rolling off tables and such.
Be honest, do you think you've won the argument because you've a word game?
No, but rather because you've already decided that you know more than anyone else - as you said, *you* don't set the bar that high - and, therefore, can believe anything you want and justify any behavior you want to fit your beliefs and let you sleep at night. Sure, I, you, we (all) expect people to abide by basic moral laws, but some people have problems and they're, apparently, being disproportionately executed -- according to people you actually know more about this than you (or I), except you ignore all that in favor of your beliefs. You said, "Life is sacred, yes. But...", and there's your problem -- it either is or it isn't. You want to justify it both ways depending on what's in line with your detailed beliefs. The professor in my college biomedical ethics class would have a field day playing Devil's Advocate with you -- if you were inclined to actually learn anything beyond your beliefs.
All in all, pretty typical of Right Wing Nut Jobs, and the Right in general.
It's because colleges are the most left leaning places in America. I'd bet more American flags are burned at American colleges than in Russia and all middle eastern countries combined. It's not that republicans hate education.
Flag burning is more important than getting an education? Boggle. Besides, how many flags are burned per year?
The U.S. Flag code states that, “the flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”
Life is sacred, yes. But thinking consenting adults are fully capable of flushing it all down the toilet to the point where they, and not anyone else, sign their own death warrant. The unborn are not capable of such things.
People who are executed have a far higher rate of mental illness than does the general public.
When John H. Blume studied death row volunteers from 1976 through 2003, he found that 88 percent had a mental illness or substance abuse disorder. Our numbers were slightly lower, but similar.

That's good, because most of the poor assholes who would otherwise mine coal are dying from either cancer, lung disease or opiate addiction. And you can thank the coal industry for all three.
The Centralia mine fire is a coal seam fire that has been burning underneath the borough of Centralia, Pennsylvania, United States, since at least May 27, 1962.
The fire is burning in underground coal mines at depths of up to 300 feet over an eight-mile stretch of 3,700 acres.[1] At its current rate, it could burn for over 250 more years.[2]
The blaze has resulted in most of the town being abandoned. The population dwindled from 2,761 in 1890 to only 7 in 2013, and most of the buildings have been leveled.
Then, coming a little later -- perhaps 20 minutes into the future -- we'll have a Max Headroom situation...
In the future, an oligarchy of television networks rules the world. Even the government functions primarily as a puppet of the network executives, serving mainly to pass laws — such as banning "off" switches on televisions — that protect and consolidate the networks' power.
When you have a 30 year mortgage, you don't really need to care about your credit rating. A mortgage will bring a 500 back up to a 700 in 6 months
Having a mortgage can help, but isn't necessary. I paid off my mortgage in 2011 and now my credit report only lists 3 active items -- 3 credit cards, which I pay off every month (and always have), though I only use 1 routinely. My credit score is 840. Things may change in 2021 when the paid-off mortgage expires off the file -- I'll let you know:-)
Your points are all good, but I was just pointing out that there is some type of risk is every (in)action. If you want to restrict the type of risk to financial loss, someone else mentioned getting robbed while carrying around a lot of cash to pay bills in person. Online payment via your bank and using a credit card (online and in person) are much safer payment options.
There is risk in everything. Understand the type and extent of those risks. For example, you could get hit by a car while trying to pay a bill in person and die or end up in the with hospital with thousands of $$ in bills. Paying by check or online looks pretty safe by comparison.
Furthermore, paying with a credit card limits your risk to $50 for fraudulent charges - just check your statement every month. If you're really paranoid, get a Bank of America MasterCard. They have a feature called ShopSafe whereby you can create multiple virtual credit cards (linked to your real CC) for use online. You simple specify the amount and duration and new CC and CVV/CVC numbers are generated. As a bonus, only the first vendor to use a virtual card can use that card. You can bump the limit and/or expiration date and "delete" the virtual card at any time.
You don't have to use the name for the company... From: Bully Hill Vineyards - Heritage, which was founded by Walter S. Taylor, whose grandfather started the Taylor Wine Company:
Everything suddenly changed in 1977 when Coca-Cola acquired Taylor Wine. One morning Walter came into work to discover that they had filed an injunction against him and Bully Hill Vineyards— preventing him from using the word “Taylor” on anything related to Bully Hill. Walter, believing that no one had the right to take his name from him quickly appealed but could not win against the behemoth legal team assembled against him.
In the end he was ordered to follow a list of stipulations dictating what he could and couldn’t “say” when it came to his name and ancestry. The list banned Walter:
From using the word “Taylor” on anything relating to Bully Hill. Period.
From implying that Bully Hill was connected to or the successor of Taylor Wine. It is very important to remember that Walter from birth was entrenched in everything Taylor Wine and that he and his father started Bully Hill together to continue the winemaking traditions of his family.
From implying that Bully Hill Vineyards was the original Taylor Wine Company. Bully Hill does sit on the original site Walter’s grandfather purchased in the late eighteen hundreds.
From implying that any of Walter’s ancestors are or were connected to Bully Hill Vineyards. Walter’s father was, in fact, a co-founder of Bully Hill Vineyards.
From implying that Walter’s ancestors passed ANYTHING on to him in the art of winemaking or grape growing. Walter was a 4th generation Taylor family winemaker and grape grower, by definition his ancestors passed on their knowledge and skills on to him.

Ever used a debugger on hundreds of parallel threads spread over several processors?
That's why flies have compound eyes, but they're not good at using debuggers.

Hard to say as burning is one method of properly disposing of a U.S. Flag. From How to Properly Retire an American Flag (and others):
The U.S. Flag code states that, “the flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”

"Thinking, consenting adults" including the mentally ill? From the April 2017 article, Does the death penalty target people who are mentally ill? We checked. (and others):
People who are executed have a far higher rate of mental illness than does the general public.

If Russians have to use their passports to watch people get screwed they might as well just go to Ukraine.
But if the demand for oil decreases, the flood of income into that part of the world will also decrease. Which seems like a fine idea to me.
Ya, but as Slater said on Archer, "If you think the Middle East is messed up now, just wait until nobody needs their oil.".
It was government funding, not free market investment, ...
You could say all that about the early Internet too.

Both. They were house-sitting for Erwin Schrödinger. He keeps his Google Home in a box.
