Hmm..but isn't that the point? RCC had that power 'stripped' from it, with an attempt at safeguards to prevent it from regaining it. Why should another religion be allowed (or made allowances for attempting) to take its place in dictating policy and interfering with non-believers' actions?
Having went from an average of 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day over the course of 7 years, to having not smoked in 15 years...I'd have to say cold turkey works, at the very least for some.
He's not actually alone, it's just when ignorance becomes popular, it's the new fact. If 3 billion people start calling cats dogs, then they are now 'dogs'. Words are arbitrary in that aspect.
Words however are for communication of thoughts, and if we are able to abuse words' meanings on whim, it ratherly defeats the point of language. Personally when I think of Fascism, I think of the trains running on time:P
It is amusing though to note how people defend their changes to language as 'growth', while decrying the next generation's changes as 'aberration' and 'dumbing down'.
It's a throw-back law. If it were really about the genetically damaged offspring, they would also have laws against people with genetically passed diseases from breeding, when they have a high risk (or certainty) of passing it off onto their offspring. Moment that's tried, eugenics and human rights cards get raised and it is considered evil. Cousins want a roll in the hay using protection and that's wrong-sick, but let the two vegetables-in-love have a kid and it's all kinds of cute.
Personally at a loss on where they should come down on it: avoiding intentionally damaged offspring is great, but where is the line for certainty (of bad offspring), and what steps do you take to prevent/punish while impinging how much on personal freedom?
If I can type a paragraph to you in 15 seconds, and you do the same back...and we're having an engaging conversation that extends over the course of two hours... we're dropping from an 2 complete exchanges per minute to about one per minute. So yes, 10 seconds per message of extra delay would be noticeable.
I'd beat them to their last city, entrench troops all around it, starving them to the 'last population'...then ignore them. End game would be 5~6 enemy capital cities with railways around them for 'my citizens to visit the various barbarian parks'.
That'll teach the Byzantines to not pirate my trade routes!
In theory I'd love to agree with you, but for the case of Gord Thompson.
Cliff notes: they did 100kmph in a 100kmph (this was in Ontario) and were charged with obstructing traffic. I could see a case for the one vehicle sitting in the 'passing lane', but being that the vehicle in the passing lane was doing the limit, there should be no vehicle that can legally overtake him and challenge for that spot. Additionally, the driver in the 'slow lane' was also charged.
The irony to it is that they did it to protest a previous ticket for 117kmph in that same area, with the judge declaring "even one kilometer over is still speeding".
No, I've run into it a few times over the years on newsgroups.
It takes days to shake that nasty feeling off
Days? A decade hasn't diminished it much here. The old Warez used to be filled with it, and like you said, it's an instant libedo kill. 2girls/1cup doesn't come close to the disgust generated.
Personally I never say "Goodbye", both for the religious overtone and getting a sense of finality from it. Usually I will use a variation of 'later' or 'take care' for a parting.
As for the sneezes, friends get a 'f*** you' (and so now respond with 'curse you' after a sneeze), while strangers get a polite 'no thanks' for their benedictions.
Then again I've elaborate coffee rituals so shouldn't judge them too harshly. =P
At mine, they (the Chinese students) didn't cheat so much as play the 'language card'. When the going got hard, they 'lost' grasp of English and sometimes managed extensions. Not all did this, but a good percentage would. Also only the foreign ones, not the second-gens.
The real cheating was pretty much evenly distributed amongst all races/cultures, and seemed more dependent on the prof (the worse the course and/or lax the supervision the more there was), and in one instance 'group' (ironically the Justice students cheated insanely in tech courses, enough that an entire class got tossed when caught).
Malice might not be a motive, but greed could be one. Being one who follows NZ law cases on a regular basis, I'm rather far from impressed with it (like the cop getting out after 2 years for his part in a pack rape).
Why a woman in labour? It's not like for millenia they gave birth without hospitals or such.
It also depends on your distance to the hospital: first aid given on the trip sounds great, but that ambulance still has to drive out to (and find) you first. Factor in making the call (getting to a phone and describing the location), can be precious minutes.
Obligatory anecdote: Before cell phones become common, before the emergency numbering system for rural addresses was put out here, neighbour's 3-year-old kid tripped blowing on a recorder. Rather nicely gashed out his throat and was choking on the blood. Crasy mommy got her kid 15km to the hospital in about 5 minutes, about 3 or so faster than the ambulance that came for another neighbour's heartattack.
Caveat: crasy mommy also blew every light and were it not the hour of the day, likely been delayed 20 minutes while they extracted her from the wreck. Lights+Siren give an edge to ambulance for safety of the trip.
Using the 'noone can get to the cockpit' thought, have the cockpit be a separate unit entirely: an armoured capsule at the front of the plane. Having it only accessible via an external door, you limit hijacking to before takeoff, or by terrorists with jetpacks. No real risk of forced entry then, and you limit options in a hostage situation (they can't demand control, only negotiate destination).

As a public-private partnership project with Bell Canada, the Province of Ontario, the United Counties of Prescott-Russell and the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, the CEONET DSL project brought ADSL broadband infrastructure to 21 additional locations across Prescott-Russell and SD&G. Bell Canada invested $2.8 million, the Province of Ontario $1.2 million and both counties $110,000.
Although intended for municipally designated public buildings, the CEONET DSL Project has benefited more than 4500 businesses and residents as of this date.

If the wiki entry for Eternal Forces is correct, no he wouldn't. He might be an imbecile, but apparently is a consistent one.
And here I thought if you excluded immigrants the human population of North America was zero.

No, but the USA did for My Lai.

Exactly. Who is to say that person hadn't also replied/met/whatever with other people advertising on the site, or with coworkers, etc.
Did they take away his earnings? He apparently was paid $36,174NZ for doing it....so that's a rather tidy profit.

Snag can also mean to grab or seize (e.g. "I snagged us some concert tickets"). I've seen them used interchangeably.
:P
Having said that, the play company I worked for in High School could be considered a 'protuberance or an obstacle'

I think it might be a case-by-case issue? Also could be provincial level, not federal.
