    If they don't get a proper electrical inspection on the place before signing, that's their problem.

    I agree with you on the data cabling, but as far as I'm concerned, the government needs to keep its nose out of my electrical wiring too.

    Last I checked, "IT" wasn't a major.

    Who did you check with?

    Universities name degrees whatever they want to. Most do follow conventions though. I'm not sure if it's common, but my major is Information Systems, which is basically the same as IT.

    Don't you think you have an obligation to pay for the next generation? Just like the previous generation did?

    Where did you get that idea? I assume you're referring to the Catholic Church, in which case you're wrong. They do (at least the church does) believe that condoms are wrong, but not that it kills babies.

    Also, you fail to realize that Catholicism is one of the only (maybe THE only) pro-life group that has that belief. They're are many other non-Catholic, pro-life people, who have no problem with condoms.

    So does that make a grown adult who needs an iron lung a parasite? What about people who are exposed to extreme temperature for extended periods of time? They can no longer regulate their internal body temperature, so can I kill them for being a parasite?

    So in the extremely rare circumstances that the media takes a conservative viewpoint, it's "propaganda," but when they take their usual liberal stance, it's news.

    I can't comment on Nature, but NPR is just as liberally biased as CBS.

    Regardless, why should we base our own domestic policy decisions on what the rest of the world is doing? We fought a large war to separate ourselves from Europe, and ever since then the meek ones in our country have been trying to undo it. Like it or not, Bush's decision on embryonic stem cell research helped him win the election, so that pretty much demonstrates it as the will of the people.

    Don't worry little guy. When you finally hit puberty and start growing facial hair, you'll find that knowing what you're doing is much more important than the quality of the blade you're using. Just ask your daddy to teach you.
