You want someone to quote you a time? A real photog knows that the time you use depends on how you shot the film (pushed or pulled, idk anyone who actually shoots Tri-X at 400), what results you want (contrast, grain), your agitation methods, water temperature, how old your developer is, yada yada yada
So you're saying that iPod users are too stupid to break the law, but the owners of the alternatives are so smart they download illegal music so they can spend their time trying to save a few precious bucks and risk legal consequences.
REAL SMART.
Are people who buy cars ignorant because they don't know how to break the locks and hotwire them?
You sir, are an idiot. If you were to stop public schools, that would divide the nation SO much. People who didn't have much money won't be able to get ANY opportunity to make it. I grew up very poor, but I'm gonna finish law school this year, and I have an internship at a law firm paying $75K/year, where I can only go up. Without public schools, this would nock out 100% of my chance to have ever got into my current position. Saying, you're too poor to deserve an education is bullshit. You also said that parents should teach stuff to their kids as an alternative to public schools. My mom was home just long enough to sleep for the night when I was growing up, and my dad hasn't ever been part of my life, you expect my mom to quit her jobs?
"Is it preparing them for good, high-quality jobs?" Who gets a good job fresh out of highschool anyway? You have to go to college, for multiple degrees now-a-days to make good money, so why do you expect anyone to get good jobs from highschol. Public schools are not so great in terms of quality, but they are DEFINATELY neccesery, ESPECIALLY in areas where people are less wealthy.
I agree with the above statement. My iBook can get 4+ hours with the AirPort on, and I see like 25% of people surfing the net in coffee shops using Apples.
"Any specific system of belief about deity, often involving rituals, a code of ethics, and a philosophy of life."
There in lies the problem with your statement. Atheism doesn't have a 'specific system'. There is no system of rules that you are supposed to abide by as an Atheist. There is no 'code of ethics' that Atheists follow. There is no 'philosophy of life' that we have to live by.
Atheism isn't a religion because there is no rules that need to be followed (besides lack of belief in god), there isn't anyone to tell you to follow them (priests), there is nothing beyond "I don't believe in a god/gods." Besides not believing in a god/gods, there is nothing else that all Atheists hold in common.

Edit: Not to say that a religion needs a god. What it does need is an established syntax.
