Goddamn it man, it's motherfucking Star Trek! That show was second only to Doctor Who in putting aside all notions of real science for the sake of fun, so stop quibbling and just enjoy it.
The problem with achievements is that they make the game designer think that real goals with well-constructed challenges don't have to go into the game. Why spend time making better levels when you can program in an achievement for taking out the hardest enemy with the crappiest gun?
Look, it's not that HFCS somehow makes the body gain weight that it wouldn't gain if the same number of calories were consumed from some other source. It's that when HFCS is in everything from tomato sauce to bread, foods start containing a lot more calories that our intuition says they should. So you think you're eating a moderate number of calories in a bowl of say... pasta with tomato sauce and sprinkled grated-cheese, but actually your body really only needs say... 75% of that bowl. You just don't know you're overeating because your expectations don't account for the actual ingredients.
There are healthy dips, you know. We usually call them "humus" and "babaganoush", and the only reason more people don't eat them is because they're "terrorist food".
So what? They aren't hurting ANYONE by "soliciting."
Yeah, they're just hurting someone by being HITMEN. So how about instead of requiring the law enforcement be omniscient enough to catch every hitman before he strikes, we prohibit the hitmen from advertising to help stop hits being ordered?
ML is the Muggle League. It's the non-magical Quidditch league. It's not really as popular as the real one since it's just a bunch of people running around with brooms between their legs throwing balls at each other. Kind of a really sad form of LARPing, in fact.
Yeah, you nerds really are sad. HUMANS VS ZOMBIES 4 LIFE!
That's right. You're either a citizen, or you're property. When somebody can restrict your movements, you're his property.
If you don't like regulations restricting your movement as a non-citizen within the United States, you're free to go somewhere else. Particularly, you're free to try to make a Spanish-speaking country (which, judging by your Spanish signature and username, I presume you come from) as stable and healthy as the United States.
A country exists for its citizens, not for everyone else's denizens.
Why don't we ask Israel how they're keeping their borders secure and take a few hints? Scale up the border and enforcement. Then actually treat the border as a no-go territory, where things and people get shot at or worse.
While I support strong border control in any country, I've never heard of Mexicans of any sort mounting repeated invasions with the intent of destroying the United States.
That was an effective 'stroke to the heart' of many religious fundamentalist's main arguments defending their agenda while abandoning the core 'cause'.
No, it was a stroke against Christian fundamentalists. Other religions have different messages.
The gospels include many aspects that were part of common Middle Eastern "folklore" (the messiah, virgin birth, resurrection, consumption of flesh, the Logos/Arche, etc.).
Other than the whole "messiah" thing those are Greco-Roman religious aspects, not Semitic.
I can't say I like that idea. Using salt water will leave the salt in the soil, making it much harder to farm anything but the biofuel. Why not use a species that can make biofuel in freshwater?
You use irrigation techniques designed for low-water environments and strategically place human settlements in areas that you need planted. Plantings and irrigation anchor the soil and add more water to the system.
I know this is a scientific oversimplification, but I think it's been working well enough to shrink some of the Californian, Chinese, and Negev deserts.

So has she started looking like an adult since "Serenity"?
I don't see what's so great about mindless action just because it's a chick fighting.
Then again, I'm a Dollhouse fan, so I should shut up.
×ÖIt's called "long-term" thinking, and it's what good government is supposed to do.

Cut back on the state government.
I mean this in the best possible way, but... oh for God's sake, just switch NYC into New Jersey already!
Hans Reiser, is that you?

Well that sounds nice. We're developing no-ships before we develop prescience. The human race is saved!
I don't care; I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me!
The Baron Harkonnen will be quite pleased.

Stop complaining. You don't have to face up to the embarrassment of explaining George W. Bush or Avigdor Lieberman.
All characters contained within this gospel are fictional and any resemblance to any real person, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
All divine voices are impersonated... badly.

Leto II, you old bastard! How's that whole "pearls of awareness" thing working out for you?
It's definitely earned the name in one way: if you go into one, you won't have a life of your own for at least 5 years. And it may destroy your brain.
