Also a lot of people don't know this but the Super Devil doesn't appear anywhere in the Bible.
Satan does, though. The Hebrew word satan more or less translates to "accuser" or "adversary", though I don't think it's used in modern Hebrew (my dictionary translates "accuse" to he'eshim). The most well-known appearance would probably be the book of Job.
I would assume the phrases are meant to be used in place of the effect most people associate with the drug. The effect of steroids is usually being bigger and/or stronger, while with crack the first effect most people think of is hyperactivity and/or being faster. Something that does more different things, or does a thing at a much faster rate, would be "on crack", while something that is bigger and stronger would be "on steroids". Like a lot of metaphors, there are subtle differences in meaning, and they're rarely perfect analogues.
Careful. Keep saying stuff like that, and you'll be branded an anti-Semite. After all, if you don't mindlessly support everything Israel does, you must hate Jews. Just like if you didn't support everything the Bush did, you must hate Caucasians.
It's kinda scary how accurate that is. I'm Jewish, but I don't agree with everything the Israeli government has done, just like I don't agree with everything the United States government does (it was more frequent with Bush, but I have no problems calling out Democrats when they do something I don't agree with, or just say something stupid, which is almost as frequent as with Bush). Of course, I'm a peace-loving hippie, so there are fairly large groups in the Israeli government that are too militaristic for my taste. It does discourage me to hear people say "we must always support everything Israel does." As far as I'm concerned, the ability to honestly criticize the government when they screw up is an important part of any healthy, free state.
I'm curious about what countries Israel would be selling anything to, and are presumably friendly with, that are currently enemies of the United States. It sure isn't Iran or Syria. I'm not sure if Israel would have any specific reason to dislike North Korea, but I'd imagine Israel is smart enough not to piss off all of Europe by selling North Korea advanced technology.
I mean, a hypothetical war with China might need it, but they're still flying original-model Su-27 derivatives while they design their own indigenous fighter, the Shenyang J-XX. With good enough pilots, they can seriously ruin an F-15's day, but with the F-22's already built, there should be more than enough firepower to take out something like that.
Why not just surround the country with a few rows of Missile Turrets?
Apparently its an attack on their youth because of their children were to grow up with choices, they might choose not to be boneheaded, zombie worshiping, fucktards, and THEN what would happen to the world?!?
Just answered your own question. They believe that their way of life is the only correct way, and anything that shows other choices as being equally valid is viewed as an attack, since it means that they are wrong about their way being the only correct way.
Wait a minute...How does a simulation with real doctors, nurses, and patients in real facilities make it cheaper?
My first thought was that it gives students a wider range of experiences before beginning their internship, and you don't have to pay to send the students a thousand miles away.
There's no substitute for sitting at someone's bedside, taking their hand, feeling their pulse, and looking at their face for signs of distress.
No, but simulations are good supporting experience, especially if you work on a simulator, and therefore know the routine basics, before doing your live training. You won't get residents that spent their entire internship in simulations, but you'll probably get interns that at least got some basic simulator experience during medical school.
A singular possessive usually has an apostrophe before the s? Like hers and his? Or theirs?
Those are poor examples. The normal possessive adjective forms are "her" and "their". You only use "hers" and "theirs" in sentences like "It is hers" (unfortunately I'm only above average in grammar, not a real expert, so I don't know the correct technical term). In the case of "his", you aren't just adding an "s" to the normal form of the word. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am, but "its" is the only case I can think of where the possessive adjective is formed only by adding an "s" (no apostrophe or otherwise changing the word, as in "his", "your", or "their").
Right, but either you can realistically afford a lawyer or you can't. If paying a lawyer means you won't have enough money for food, I'd say that qualifies as "can't". If there's no specific income requirement, I would assume that it's up to the judge on whether or not you qualify for court-appointed pro bono counsel (I also assume that if you yourself can convince a lawyer to defend you for free, the court has no say in the matter).
Is there some specific income limit to receive pro bono counsel? If there isn't, how could someone have enough money to hire a lawyer to defend them (and not qualify for pro bono counsel) and at the same time not have enough money to hire a lawyer to defend them?
The only element that's more inert than silver is gold AFAIK.
I believe platinum is a bit more inert even than gold. Of course, this is just for metals. If you're talking about all elements, I think the noble gases have even the inert metals beat.
Indeed. To quote Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski, "Basically, by the terms of my contract, if a set on a WB movie burns down in Botswana, they can charge it against B5's profits." That's how you avoid paying someone who has made you $1 billion.

Don't you mean the United States of Canada?

At least when I'm driving *I'm* in control of my fate, not some dingbat train engineer who's busy testing instead of watching the road.
Yeah, because there are never any other drivers around you on their cell phones, eating breakfast, or putting on makeup instead of watching the road.
The US... hasn't had to fight a war on its own turf since the Spanish-American war.
Oh really?

Oh, wait, that would be Korea. Never mind.
You didn't see Guitar Queer-o?

"Argh."

It worked real well for South Park with Isaac Hayes.

Replace step 1 with "???" and you have the internet business model that has prevailed since the mid-nineties!
To me, ??? implies an unknown. I think the appropriate replacement would be *.

So when does a thought experiment/research into something that would be illegal to do become a crime?
When you ask someone to break the law for you, especially if you offer them money to do it.
It's slimy, greasy and absolutely disgusting
Yeah, and there are already enough bridges to New Jersey.

Yup, that's my source.
