You have to realize that your parent poster graduated from a US high school and so lacks basic statistic literacy--he doesn't know what sampling bias is.
they'll probably just buy two shitty cars to drive every day anyways.
Which is EXACTLY what happened in Mexico City when they tried this sort of thing. It wound up making the problem worse.
Bureaucrats need to learn that you cannot force people to change their habits. They will work around any restrictions and then resent you for it. You have to change the environment that makes gas-burning cars attractive--improve public transit, subsidize electric (or raise petrol taxes, either way), mixed-zoning so people don't have to go as far for daily needs, etc.
I love posts like this about language where someone thinks they're being "more correct" and in reality they just have no fucking clue what they're talking about.
Next he'll be telling us that splitting infinitives and ending sentences with prepositions are modern corruptions.

All of your "exceptions" are not exceptions. In all of those cases you are still worse off if you speak. There is no upside to speaking without a lawyer. Ever.
No one should have further considered whether slavery was indeed protected by the Constitution? The Supreme Court had ruled, so, for you, the issue was settled.
It was settled until the 13,14, and 15 amendments were passed.
Because that's what amendments DO: they change the Constitution.
The head of HR felt that rather than doing an actual job of HR, it was her real job to protect the company against grievances
I'd like to hear what you think the actual job of HR is since every HR department I've ever encountered has only existed to protect the company against lawsuits. They certainly don't exist for your benefit.
No it doesn't because you are grossly oversimplifying.
BMR calculators give an average estimate, not an exact individual figure. People vary around the average. To complicate things further, people are NOT equally efficient in their absorption of calories/nutrients from the same food.
Christ almighty that link is total gibberish. I assume Mersini didn't see it or approve it before it was published because it's rife with errors.
Event horizons are not membranes in any physical sense, it's been known that Hawking radiation causes an object to lose mass since Hawking's original paper on the subject--in fact, that's the only reason Hawking radiation is interesting, it's the one way for mass to "escape" the event horizon--and few think the Big Bang started from a singularity in the sense meant in this article (even Hawking, who wrote THAT paper too, arguing for a pre-Big Bang singularity doesn't think that's what happened anymore).
The idea that Hawking radiation could overwhelm the gravitational collapse is interesting and merits further investigation, but it is by no means "proof" or "conclusive" of anything.
some people just go into denial if something like that (that is likely to kill you) happens
In other words, they lie to themselves.
others just completely get blocked mentally and don't dare to tell the truth because they know what will then happen.
In other words, they lie on purpose.
people don't always lie because they're evil masterminds bent on infecting the world.
No. They lie because they're selfish assholes who don't give a fuck about anyone else (including their own children in this case).
Nothing you've posted contradicts your parent. The man lied and endangered the lives of others in the process. All of that is a matter of fact. Why he did it is mostly irrelevant, but since you brought it up, I'm gonna go with the selfish prick theory.
Really? You don't think the people that want to get to the United States are going to travel somewhere else first and then simply go to the US from there?
That's already what they do because there are no direct flights between the region and the US. It's not that hard to check a passport before letting someone board a plane.

So with OS-X having around 7% market share, does that mean the world contains a lot of idiots?
You must be new to this world.
Yes, it's full of idiots. Though that is unrelated to the discussion at hand.

BTW your sarcasm detector is broken.
Probably the part where he thinks Obama will be president until 2024.
Jeez, give it a rest already. We get it! You like the taste of shoe polish and want your overlords' boots to be well licked.
It is not illegal to lie — except under oath.
Definitely not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Lying is not illegal in and of itself, but in business and legal contexts it is often either a crime or a tort.
Yes. Which it is.

...and how many people need to take the CCNA exam?
There are lots of skills that most people don't need, and those who do need them can learn them when needed.
Your priorities are clearly backwards.

And you went AC to copy and paste it again?
Can we know what recruiting firm you run? Just so we know who NOT to use.

That's true. You're not a libertarian. They don't get as turned on by men-in-jack-boots as you do.
No it doesn't because you are grossly oversimplifying.

Basal Metabolic rate accounts for the difference, not the exercise.

Too late. See Rev Jesse Jackson holding press conferences with family.

...and Poe's law. /thread.
People with NoScript on are likely already aware of the issue and strong supporters of net neutrality. This was about informing the commoners.
Don't these companies know how the internet works?
No. That's been MS's problem for 20 years.
