What a piece of shit haha.

Just more proof that anyone who doesn't study in hard sciences is usually prone to be a retard no matter his level or place of education.

Journalism, law, arts, education, philosophy, history etc.

All those people always seem to be the ones who are completely detached from reality, who have big ideas and no clue how to verify them. They love to crusade thinking a fucking BA in journalism at Harvard makes them a genius.

I respect anyone who studied any of these in college:
Biology, chemistry, physics, math, advanced economy

I take it the various types of engineering (mechanical, nuclear, chemical, etc.) also fall into those categories (basically any category thats math and science, i.e. there is a right and a wrong answer.)

IT wouldn't work. Too many people would be willing to fight and die before being relocated to some shithole country instead of continuing ot live in say, America.

How about this. The man has until 2 weeks prior to the latest possible legal abortion date OR 1 month after being informed of the pregnancy, whichever occurs later (possibly after child-birth) to decide whether or not he wants to financially abort the child (and thereby give up all rights to it). Proof of informing the man would require a contract, or something else that needs to be signed by the potential father, and than notarized. In the event that a woman claims that the man refused to acknowledge the pregnancy, the police will have the power to bring forth the acknowledgment to the man, in a manner similar to reading someone their miranda rights. If the man wishes to contest whether or not he is the father, he may undergo a DNA test. If found that he is not the father, than the man is free to go. If he is the father, he still has to fit within the time limit (in the event that the contest CANNOT (not because the father wants to delay it) occur at least 2 weeks before deadline, additional time would be granted for the man to decide if he is indeed the father (up to 1 week).

The deadline of 2 weeks before abortion potential gives the woman the ability to react, wheras the 1 month after learning makes sure the man doesnt get unexpectedly shafted.

Would people receive different benefits depending upon their chosen profession/education? Such as doctors and engineers (from space technology to weapons research to advanced computing technologies) getting special treatment over say, people without college education?

Also, what about cannibalism? Would it be legal?

Why does everybody limit themselves when it comes to nuclear storage waste. Why keep it on Earth for that matter. Ramp up the space program and launching technologies and send it into the sun, or onto an uninhabitable planet such as Mercury.

Well what would happen should Florida and Michigan manage to get their primaries counted. That could give Hillary a boost (and the DNC is foolish for snubbing these two states, as they will still be eligible to vote come November, and the purpose of the primary selection for the candidates is to see who would get the most votes. Keep in mind that Florida is one of the most important states in the November election due to size, and yet they ignore it?)

Keep in mind that another problem is that as more and more people get college degrees, there is more and more competition for college educated men, particularly in fields that the degree isn't fully used (think of an English degree vs a degree in Mechanical engineering, the mech eng. degree is more likely to be NEEDED than the English degree for the job, and that pattern remains for rest of the math and science degrees vs the more liberal art ones).

Personally I believe in having trade schools, perhaps even as a substitute for the last 2 years of high school for those who desire it (the ones your old enough to drop out of). This would allow an increase of skilled labor, such as plumbers and electricians.

As for the college costs, if your good academically, chances are you can get full tuition paid, and that $20,000 a year room and board seems awfully high. Chances are you can get it for cheaper, though it may mean on campus housing and a meal plan. Also, many groups can get this from scholarships as well, particularly those who aren't white males.

And simply allowing anyone to go to college for free would decrease the quality, as money is spent on the failures instead of the serious people.

And if I'm found and taken to a federal prison with no trial, singled out as an enemy combatant as the patriot act defies the United States Constitution, I will not go quietly.
My voice will be heard from the bottom the poisonous pond that is the American government now, and the events that follow, the retaliation I predict, will come.

Even w/o the patriot act death threats against the president (even in jest) are illegal. So either way, ur screwed (and how do you plan on being heard anyways? If they are truly the evil monster you believe them to be they will simply silence you at the first sign of noise).

Lets see here.....

1. Despite any progress made in Iraq, the left-wing will only focus on the bad.

2. The party that looks like its losing will try to create a big legal stink at the end of the 2008 elections.

3. The starvation in Africa, genocide in Sudan, etc. will continue unabated with the rest of the world looking to the US to do something about it while decrying its doing the same damn thing in Iraq.

4. Begoner will remain my sworn enemy of the NGBBS.

5. The analysts will predict another terrible hurricane season, which people will blame on global warming in advance.

6. Israel and Palestine will sign yet another peace treaty only to have fall apart within three months.

ANY artificial quota system like this is bad. Even more so for sports, due to the economic impact.

In High School for example, the sports are mostly self-sustaining in terms of funds (at least where I grew up). The monies generated from the ticket sales in particular went to pay for a lot of the stuff. However, many of the sports don't generate enough ticket sales/other stuff to fund themselves. The ones that do are Football and Mens Basketball, with some exceptions for schools with really small/crappy teams. And of course there are exceptions in the other direction, such as when a sport is real popular in a region, such as wrestling. But the sports that are not generating money leech off of the ones that do. The Football team with the one or two other money making teams essentially pays for the other teams to exist.
For you see, the money taken in through things such as ticket sales, doesn't go directly to the team. It goes straight to the county to be divided up. And dont say stuff like fundraising. While that can help support a team, it is not enough to sustain it. In addition, things such as concessions only work for some sports (the ones with crowds) so those are not available to help the weak sports either.

In college the situation is improved somewhat, but still most of the teams are money sinks, with Football in particular pulling a lot of the weight, and in some areas, Mens Basketball contributing a lot as well (such as really big teams, like Duke or those found in the Midwest where Basketball i wildly popular).

However, since the schools must fund the sports that few people care about, the big ones suffer.

Title IX is like sports socialism. It hurts the strong to artificially keep the weak alive.

Also, if those feminazis are so concerned about big bad football teams, why dont they create their own female football teams in high school and beyond. Oh wait, lack of participants and spectators. Some things are going to be gender based forever, especially where biological differences make a major difference.

Quite simply this is hurting Frances economy by limiting what they can produce. Especially as they face large waves of Immegration from areas formally belonging to France, which increases the number of lower class families, which burden the system. With fewer hours there are less things made, which means less wages that can be paid, which means less taxes that can be collected, and also a greater pull by the poorer people on their welfare systems, thus making the tax problem even worse.

Overpopulation is not a problem in the "west" (europe and America). Where it IS a growing problem is in the East, specifically the China, India, and the other nearby countries. While they arn't the size of the US, they hold far more than the population, and not all of the land is really good (such as the deserts).

China did something to help control its population by limiting children, though this is going to be the cause of another problem. Due to the value to a man being higher than a woman in their cuture (and in the field) there is a surplus of men that will never have wives. China could quite possibly give them all guns and tell them "go to Mongolia/North Korea/some other nearby country, find a woman, and she can be your wife"

Despite the measures China has taken, it still shares in the problem that its fellows also have. Running out of space. While China does have some room to expand within its borders, the western part of the nation is not very hospitible, as it hold the Gobi desert. Nonetheless, China could use its military might to expand its borders northwards as well.

But lets look at India to the south. They also be quite heavily populated. But, they dont have any room to expand their borders, with China and Pakistan being their close neighbors, and trying to expand into them would result in massive war.

The only real solutions we have are to either push the space program forward or start building underwater cities/cities that float upon the ocean.

It was a mistake allowing them to have separate reservations in the first place. We should have simply fully annexed them after kicking their ass way back when, same for Mexico (which back then was no worse off than the areas we did acquire).

Hopefully well just re-conquer the Indians and this time no silly treaties or reservations.

I say nuclear. As for the waste, we have multiple options. We can A: deposit it in some god-forsaken place where no sane person wants to live or B: start gearin up our space technology and launch our waste to other planets, etc.

The problem with the renewable ones is that they cant be relied upon as much in many cases. While a dam will generally not fluctuate (or it will fluctuate in set patterns), it will not provide enough power on its own, and solar and wind (the other 2 big "force" based ones) are fickle and can be controlled be the weather. As for biomass, I somehow doubt that we have enough spare biomass to go around, especially with the population of the earth rising (and with it the demand for food).

Seeing as (at least in a secular sense) the government gets to decide what is fair, I'm going to have to say yes it is. Even on a universal scale I'd declare it fair.

My school didn'h have its Asian or Indian people at the top, it had a bunch of white people at the top. But other than that, its pretty much accurate. Course we didn't have very many of the Asian/Indian groups. Or many foreign borns. Also, pregnant women tended to do very poorly I noticed.

Also, the anti-intellectual culture was very evident among many people, especially the more poor ones (hmmm, I wonder why they/their family are/is poor...)

I fully agree with the giving parades and awards to the killers of baby rapists, and other horrible criminals. As a matter of fact, pretty much any form of rapist.

On a side note, I also believe that millions of dollars should be offered as a reward to the people who kill those responsible for Goatse and 2girls1cup.

Unnatural food would be if came from Cthulhu, or Satan, or something like that. It would have to come from an unnatural source. And even then, whats so bad about unnatural foods?

It it tastes, good eat it.

Peace through power!

Cookie to whoever gets the reference.

THe prices wont magically go down if we move to a socialized health care system. The higher premiums we pay now will still exist (tho paid by taxdollars) and in addition to that the people who couldnt originally pay will now be paid for in the same amount, thus costing us even more money.

Well if its a choice, than it's an amoral act. If its NOT a choice (i.e. genetic), than we can work together to CURE HOMOSEXUALITY!

Heres a major problem. If the fairness doctrine were implemented, the government would be able to arbitrarily declare that a group is misrepresenting one of the sides, or not representing far enough, etc. It would give the government the power to silence any dissenters. Also, it would be a gateway law to more restrictive speech laws.

Also, the white man DID pay for the slavery. We paid in blood. All those brave soldiers who fell in the Civil war.

Ya know, if we had universal health care, providers and drug makers would jack up the prices, because the government would have to pay, and thus the extra taxes would hurt us even more. This is based off of what happened with Medicare (overall prices went up) and insurance (prices overall went up to cover all the extra bureaucracy (instead of paying the doctor and a receptionist (and maybe a nurse) now we pay those people plus the insurance clerks and employees))

Can you prove that?

Theologically, I would call it suicide. However, by the same token, don't forget a martyrdom (going out to do so others may live, such as distracting the enemy, etc.)

Something that I noticed in school was that the social pressure was enough to make many kids do worse in their education. I was literally hearing people say "of course of dumb I'm black". A defeatist attitude does not help. And the defeatists try to drag down any who try to succeed. The black kids who went and worked and got good grades and took honors classes wern't generally accepted by their peers, and over time this caused some of them to give up, choosing the short term over the long term.

Also, lets use an analogy here. Lets say someone drops a giant boulder on you. Do you wait for them to lift it off of you or do you help in the process. ONly in real life the boulder was slavery and discrimination.

Also, Begoner, forcing one group to pay for their ancestors misdeeds would create a horrible precedent. It would be the same as executing the son of a murderer who had gotten away. Also, giving priviledges or gifts or special rights to minority groups only REINFORCES any existing discrimination. The number 1 thing I have heard from white people regarding the treatment of blacks is the special treatment that they receive now. This lends them discriminatory attitudes towards the receivers of said priviledges.

Let this be a lesson to you all. International pressure and sanctions WORK. Even on the craziest of individuals.

The problem is that North Korea could take the aid that we give them in exchange for compliance, then restart this whole shitstorm all over again. The problem with the aid we are sending is that it is a temporary solution to a lasting problem.

You seem to be missing my point.

They are BRIBING people.

Giving cash for conversions.

This in itself, I believe, is hypocritical of the Christian faith. Do you honestly think Jesus would welcome his followers taking part in what could be considered a corrupt practice? Cash for Conversions?

These people aren't actually converting because they have found God and are now followers of Christ, they are converting because they are being offered cash, and aid.

Well, the cash and aid could be a foot in the door thing. They could be hoping that the initial entrance (conversion) will open the eyes of the people and give them more exposure so they can convert in their hearts and minds and souls. Also, if they only have so much, of course they are going to give aid to the converted.

Never mind the fact that this could also be considered a culture issue as it could be viewed as Christianity trying to exploit the lower classes of Hinduism for their own gain, I.E. boost their numbers, thus potentially having a negative affect on Hindu culture as if such a thing were to continue on a large scale, Hinduism could, theoretically, perish completely or suffer a great deal.

Also, what would be so terrible about the perishing or suffering of the Hindu religion? They are free to try and expand just as Christianity is.
