I'm not entirely familiar with European city planning, but from what I've been told, European cities are much more pedestrian-friendly. Most US cities, however, are designed around highways, because that's where all the traffic is. This makes it much more difficult to survive without a car, since walking the highway isn't a bright idea and public transportation often doesn't make stops along major highways.
do you have a fucking point? learn metric you backwards country We'll learn the metric system when you learn the proper rules of capitalization and punctuation. Do we have a deal?:)
Religion is Man's doing. Even if it was done in the best of intentions. Based on what I've read in the Bible, I'd believe God implemented religion, specifically Judaism/Christianity. However I'd have to agree with you that, like always, Mankind has thoroughly mucked up God's handiwork.
It's okay to be offended by what you perceive to be a mockery of something you hold dear. What's not okay is taking criminal action towards those who have offended you.
leave out most of the milk (thought to contribute to kidney stones)
Do you have any evidence for this? I go through a gallon of whole or 2% milk (depending on the prices) in about 2 days. I've been drinking milk like this all my life and I've never had any kind of kidney problems. Yes, I know my evidence is entirely anecdotal, but I figured my doctor might have mentioned something to me if drinking that much milk was really a health risk.
The film version of Battlefield Earth is a travesty. While not a great masterpiece, the original book is significantly better than its film counterpart. I recommend it. And no, I'm not a Scientologist.
"Our oil problems would be greatly solved if everyone stopped driving their cars and started riding bicycles for any trip less than, say, 5 miles long"
It'd probably go a long way towards helping us Americans loose all that extra poundage our bodies are carrying. Trouble is, most cities aren't bicycle-friendly, at least not any I've been to.
"Scientists and Australian beer maker Foster's are teaming up to generate clean energy from brewery waste water" Perhaps they're just trying to find a use for American beer.
You're not the only one. I don't use Beryl because frankly I can't find any benefit from it. It makes makes for a shiny desktop but more often than not it gets in the way. When eye candy becomes distracting, it's no longer eye candy, it's merely clutter.
Based on conversations I've had with Chinese immigrants, the poverty in China is much worse/widespread than poverty in the US. I was just pointing out the idiocy of the AC GP's method of argument.
Well you're wrong because poverty is much greater in china.
[sarcasm]That's one mighty convincing arguement you have there.[/sarcasm] Seriously, where are your supporting facts or sources to back-up your claims? The burden of proof rests on you.

Most Americans refer to it as measurement system as "Customary" or "Traditional" rather than "English".

Then why the frell are you posting a comment at all?
Welcome to Elrond, Mr Anderson. The elves have been expecting you.
Given the choice between rooming with a cow, and rooming with a freezer full of beef, I'll take the beef thanks. Your point?
I have no idea why, but for some reason "Director of Linux Interoperability" brings to mind the US Drug Czar and the War on Drugs
You're giving Jack Thompson's intelligence way too much credit.

I've found a small amount of honey is also an acceptable additive
With apologies to the MiB, Elvis ain't dead, he just went home for a while.
There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
He was aiming for the double entendre, implying that MS is a bunch of pussies.
