It says something about the Christian mindset that I get modded as a troll when basically I am just quoting their article. They write ridiculous nonsense then don't like it pointed out.
I sort of sem-agree with what you say, but in a larger context it does become a philosophical question: "Can we assume that what we observe in the world is an accurate representation of reality"? This could lead to examining religious beliefs, "matrix" type theories, the universe as a simulation and all sorts... probably concluding that for practical purposes we have to assume that observation matches reality.
Board Member David Tate quickly responded: “We let them teach evolution to our children, but I think all of us sitting up here on this School Board believe in creationism. Why can’t we get someone with religious beliefs to teach creationism?
even better, they "know" that this ungodly teaching is the cause of discipline problems
Martin, noting that discipline of young people is constantly becoming more of a challenge for parents and teachers, agreed: “Maybe it’s time that we look at this.
There is a computer scientist with a reasonable international reputation with the same name as me. Because I have no presence and he avoids pictures I have had a number of people assume that I am him!
A really intelligent shower would remember how you like your showers, and repeat it. Really, why should I spend time to get the temperature and pressure just right, when I always want the same thing. There could bather 1, bather 2, etc., for shared use.
Now, there's an innovation I would expect to see in Japan first.
It was probably accessible by the 17th button in the third row.
The idea of "cleaning" your butt using toilet paper seems rather strange and unhygienic to me.
Definitely cleaner if you use soap and water.
If someone has "stuff" on his hands and was going to make you a sandwich, I'm sure you'd rather that someone wash his hands "hospital/surgeon style", and not just use toilet paper to wipe it off...
Yes even if that person uses gloves (not like someone else is going to help him put the gloves on)...
True, but people tend not to make sandwiches with their arses. Except in Pakistani restaurants when a white guy comes in.
It has been annoying me for some time
It has been upsetting me for some time
It has been troubling me for some time
and finally replaced with
It has been concerning me for some time
All these mean different things.
My ability to get an erection has been upsetting me for some time
My wife's laughter at this has been annoying me for some time
It all started after I clicked on a goatse image, which has been troubling me for some time
And the quality of the Viagra pills I have been buying cheap from Taiwan has been concerning me for some time
You appear to be expressing too much frustration. Can I suggest replacing "If goddamn clippy pops up once more the computer' s going out the fucking window"
with "the appearance of clippy seems to be non-optimal. This may result in displacement of the computer"
And more seriously, this is definitely useful, because otherwise a foreign country could set up rules that heavily favors the plaintiff and abuse US citizens for, say, writing negatively about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Posh Spice.
True, but as the imagery business is my business, I submit that in my professional opinion, that statement is a lie. The photo itself is a lie, so I've got no reason to believe what BP says about it either, do I?
Aren't all photos? The lighting, contrast and colour balance will probably be changed by the camera before anyone does anything in photoshop.
Just how much of their work to fix the spill also exists only in the form of pixels?
If we are going to start the conspiracy theories, how do we know there really is an oil leak? the whole thing could be pixels created by environmental activists. Or it could be just a ruse to clear the area of the gulf, so that the alien overlords can land the mother ship.
Really? Billions of dollars in three legged dogs ey?
What in the world are they thinking about? I know I know, three legged dawgs.
Well the EU wants to understand Muslims, so why not start by a a study of Muhammad. Since he is long since dead any other dog that isn't walking on all paws will do.
You could be on to something there.... standing in a roundabout is asking to lose a leg.
Most laptop's have a fairly easy to remove keyboard.
Why not call the supplier and ask how much a local keyboard retails for? Undo the screws, replace the keyboard and voila, your international laptop has been localised.

Absolutely. The bible teaches that 1 = 3, how dare they contradict the trinity.
I think you mean Astrology class, and yes, yes it should be.
I'll fit it in between potions and herbology.

Falsifiable means you can disprove the thing, not that you can't disprove the opposites.
Or more completely that you can set objective tests which test the theory and have the ability to prove it wrong.

I'm just speechless!
If you really think e-mail isn't a traditional form of communcation, you are in fact old.
I rather suspect you are mixing up traditional with obsolescent or obsolete.
Connection to me and vice versa can be done using traditional means especially email.
Oh the nativity of youth. When email becomes a traditional communication I know I'm getting old.
The TOS say they can keep it, perhaps this just deletes your login and deactivates your account

For that price I'd get one anyway!
The same brilliant idea occurred to the KKK long, long ago... ...just sayin'
Just as long as they don't build a death star.
How is robbing a bank amusing or entertainment? Just because the guy was in a costume that nerds might think is cool? Uhmm... I don't think so.

Now that is news!
