Perhaps There was a blurred line with the equation. I equate equal rights for all people, which I liken to civil rights of african americans. That is not a gross understatement. Are they they same? Of course not. Are they similar? I believe so. I don't believe it's Arrogance to point out similarities between the two. Are/Were the groups being discriminated against both in society and the legal system? No. They're not equal. But they sure are similar. There are still 32 states in the US where I can lose my job for who I have in my bedroom. Hell, Homosexuality wasn't entirely removed from the DSM until 1986!
Oh and talk to me about the killings cause there's never been anyone killed in the US for being gay. There was that couple who got beat over the head with a chair in NYC just a couple weeks ago. So no. sorry. people have had their time to adjust, When I say No one should vote on it. I mean No one. It should just be. Don't want to support rights of someone else? don't be like them. Don't get married, or get married, do whatever you want. but my rights are RIGHTS and you don't get to vote on them.
As for Ireland. I'm happy that equality passed. I wouldn't call it a "By any means necessary" but I'd say "whatever legally gets the law passed".
Maybe the supreme court ruling isn't the best way to get it accomplished here. But if it sticks, even for a few years and then came to a popular vote federally I'd be fore that. As for letting the states decide? show me a state that doesn't honor EVERYONE ELSE'S driver's license and marriage certs. No, they all do. It doesn't need to be federally mandated for a universal marriage or drivers license. because that would be stupid. Well until we have people who aren't willing to say that some people are more equal than others, I'd want a federal law protecting my ass if I got in a car accident in Virginia.
While I'm glad you're supportive of SS marriage in NY, I want this done Federally. So if I travel to PA for some reason I don't get "downgraded" as a person when I cross the state line. I don't want to put it to a vote, No one should vote if I get to sit at the lunch counter or not.
Exactly. Why are tablet screens better than what you can buy (for a reasonably priced) monitor?? Why are we still stuck in the land of 1080 or 1200? I want that 8" pixel density on a 27" monitor.
I think you missed the point. I'm certain she's very happy with who she is. But when everyone else keeps telling you there's something wrong with you, and you have your rights and freedoms infringed upon because of it, sometimes some Facts that are proven scientifically allow OTHERS to accept her and make life a little less of a struggle.
Brought to you by the second letter in her sig.
Thanks! I Wished I hadn't used my mod points yesterday! I have a small herd of Polled Herefords. And no, they're not dairy cows either. There's HUGE differences.
They don't get a free pass. they actually pay a lot more than I thought they should. They still pay fuel taxes for the gas and diesel they buy at gas stations, but don't use any of it for "Over the Road" tax. (dyed Diesel versus farm diesel or #2 Heating oil)
Uh. Neighbor is Amish. Moved here right from Lancaster PA to Rural NYS. He pays property tax, AND school tax, even though his (six OMG) kids go to an Amish school. His business and therefore home and land are not church property, therefore he pays taxes on that too for his organic dairy farm with 80 head of cattle.
And the Amish do have medical insurance too, and since they're in a massive block of subscribers, they actually pay less than I do and have a better plan as well.
I would say that for medical services you might be right, but I can tell you right now you're dead wrong with absolutes when it comes to prescriptions. It drives me nuts that I can't walk into a pharmacy for "drug x" and get an actual freakin' price. Cash is the highest, but different insurance companies get different rates for the same thing. Some might be a higher "quote" but they cover more of the price of the drug. I was paying $46 for an inhaler without insurance, and $42 With.
Bingo. We fertilize with excess manure from the organic dairy farm next door. and it goes on the field AFTER harvest, so it lays on the top of the soil and composts all winter long (you can see steam escaping the piles of compost) and by the time in MAY when we're looking to plant, There's no more harmful bacteria left. or it's so greatly reduced it's not a concern. I also believe that the E.coli breakouts in spinach and other foods were from the uncleanliness of the fieldworkers PICKING the veggies, Not from the fertilizer used in producing the plants.
As the co-owner of a small farm in rural NY, thank you. We have 110 acres, 7 polled Herefords, (one born 2 Sundays ago), 5 pigs and 75 chickens. We strive to bring well produced food to people's tables at a price they don't need a second mortgage for. I am flabbergasted when I go into co-ops and see they are selling ham steaks from pastured pork for $12.00 a pound. I honestly don't know how they get anyone to afford that. I feel *guilty* charging $5 a pound for my pork. Our CSA is one of the cheapest in the areas as well. We just want to feel people good food at an honest price.
(f) But that works both ways. States ALSO have the right to INCREASE personal freedoms, legalized homosexual marriage.
Great! so I can marry by partner in NY, but still file three tax returns, a joint return for NY and two for Federal. And if he's in the hospital, in NY, I can see him, but Virginia, or any other ridiculously homophobic state, and I'm not granted access. No, Civil rights (or Personal Freedoms) NEED to be Federal, across the WHOLE country, not just for the states to decide how many rights they would like people to have when they are within their state lines.

My Dad carried one. I was in awe when he brought it home. The charging dock, spare batteries, it kept me as a kid in constant amazement.
I remember him writing the passwords on the bezel in pencil since it flashed for like 30 seconds and then disappeared, and he couldn't memorize it in that amount of time.He had it the last few years before he retired in '95 after a 35 year stint. He was a CE for the Fed Reserve in NYC.
How so? My guess is that a 32MPG vehicle probably weighs in at 2500 pounds, while the 10MPG beast could weigh in at 3 tons. so for the smaller car to do "more damage" as people have stated that it's somewhere between x^3 or x^4 so 2.4^3.5 (I averaged them) gives you 21.4 times. so if the 10MPG car drives 1100 miles, it does the same damage as if I circumnavigated the Earth in the smaller vehicle.
In Malaysia, (when I was there in 2006) they actually tax your car based on the displacement of the engine (two different rates for gas/diesel) So a 3 cylinder 1.1 liter car got taxed at $110 a year (or some number, I don't recall the actual Malaysian ringgits) and a 4 liter would be $400 a year. They excluded delivery trucks and farm vehicles, but for passenger vehicles, which is why in KL a lot of people traveled by.3L scooters. I think we need a class system of weights blended with the displacement of the engine, so a large yukon denali hybrid gets taxed more than a prius.
I don't know enough about the case, but I find the whole google maps thing fishy... If he's really a CCIE with VOIP, tha'ts one thing, but browsing for dumping locations on google maps? Not clearing the cache, or browsing while "logged in" with your gmail ID? Sounds pretty Novice to me. Heck, I even switch browsers when I want to use any site that tracks me when I'm logged in. (though not for dumping bodies, well that I've been convicted of...) But seriously, I am not a foil hat wearer, but google searches on his computer, and missing shoes and a space in the garage make it sound like someone (or more) on the prosecution team wanted a slam dunk case.

I've heard them referred to as "Winutes" If you brand your own time, you can never be wrong!
I'd prefer this one.

Depends, that's for certain values of "soon".

Thanks, I really was wondering how they had Newton Meter values.
