Yeah, the ones that just don't get it.

You have to set standards that you are comfortable with, and never let them change. If that means saying no repeatedly, you have to do it.

All guys are.

Anyone else suck at relationships?

Nope.

You just have to be really picky about women. Don't be afraid to tell her that you can't see yourself in a serious relationship with her.

That's why we vote on people to do it.

Which is why welfare should be abolished unless you want a Nanny State.

Well yes, on another note, this is partly true. Welfare needs more restrictions placed upon it, so as to avoid people actually living off of it with no intention of finding work. Sure, you can have it, but either the amount of time you can have it needs to be limited or you need to be able to prove you are searching for work.

It's like killing yourself very slowly. Keyword: like.

If your point was that the government would be protecting people from suicide by restricting fast food, you would be mistaken on the basis that eating fast food is not a suicidal behavior, but instead an unhealthy lifestyle choice.

At 8/1/08 12:28 PM, KeithHybrid wrote: Exactly. I don't want the government stepping in and telling me how I should kill myself.

Are you an idiot? Fast food is by no means suicide, face it. It's definitely dangerous to eat constantly, but not suicide. In fact, lots of things are dangerous, but not suicide because no intention to kill oneself exists.

Umm, call me old, but a while ago, the term "man" meant both males and females even though it also doubled as a reference to just males.

Hence the word "mankind" and the phrase "One small step for man." So eat shit, feminists. I will refer to a group of unidentified sex as men because that's the way it's always been done.

I figured this would come from California...

Let's cripple businesses that bring the US money while casting aside the free market, guys!

Artists should not be given anything by the government.

Artists, throughout history, have been poor, but you never heard them complaining. If an artist cannot put up with being fairly poor, he isn't truly devoted to his art.

Of all of the autopsies of people with taser-related deaths in this study, the majority had heart disease or were on stimulants. One hypothesis for this is excited delirium. When you shock the living shit out of someone with heart disease or whose heart is beating at dangerous levels, they are more prone to the failure of the cardiovascular system.

There really isn't a single definitive explanation for all of the deaths, but we can be sure that it involves things that a cop can't see, so therefore we cannot do anything about it. It's not like a cop can ask, "Excuse me sir, but I am about to tase you. Do you have any medical conditions that might pose a potential threat of death if we use this taser?" Because, quite frankly, I don't care if a small number of people die from a device that has proven itself to be invaluable in protecting the health of citizens.

At any rate, the taser will never be banned or removed from service because it is the healthy alternative to repeatedly bashing someone with a physical object or attempting to talk them into the handcuffs.

Most American's don't fully understand how the electricity from a tazer really affects the body, too. It's an argument from ignorance that tazers, because some people die, are seriously dangerous.

The money would come from taxes, and do you have a source saying that it's for 100 hours of community service? There would be no increase in tuition. I know that my college pays about $1000 a year for doing 100 hours of work for the school, but 100 hours is non-trivial.

Well, going on the premise that a penny saved is a penny earned, a $4000 tax credit is the same as a wage... Probably more, because I doubt you'd have to pay taxes on your tax credit.

"For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service."

If that's not good enough... Here's him actually saying it.

Contrary to what Pox said, we can't even see the entire universe because the edges are so far away. So I doubt that we could accurately measure the odds of sentient life out there. Not to mention, the life that develops does not have to be human-like. The 75 parameter thing is an adaptation of the standard Drake equation, because the original had too few parameters. But the 75 version has far too many. It seems to think that the planet would NEED seasons, NEED tides, and NEED huge jovian planets on the outskirts to develop sentient life. Sure, all those things help, but there are certainly substitutions for most of them, and others are flatly unnecessary.

Just to add a small note, we would never see the edge of the universe because we are in it.

I'm just guessing, but if we could see unobstructed far enough off into space, we'd either see absolutely nothing, because there has not been enough time for light off of Earth to travel to the end of the universe and back to us, or we'd see over 150 billion years into the past.

So I'm hoping to create a 60s-style Harley. It's not uncommon for people to do this kind of thing with costumes - there's a Gotham Girls group that does 50s-style versions of a lot of the female characters. It would be an easy costume, too - mini dress, eye mask, pigtails, go go boots.

The older, more cartoony ones were a lot more interesting, IMO. The recent trend with the Joker is to make him as dark as possible, when back in the day, he was, well, a joker.

I dunno, I grew up on really old villains, so I liked when the villains were actually a little funny and not completely serious.

But that sounds pretty cool; I hope your costume works out well.

Well of course, the Glock isn't much of a firearm, so it wouldn't make any sense to carry one when you could carry a far more accurate and far more deadly pistol.

You are fucking stupid.

If a student needs or wants money, he can get a fucking job like anyone else who needs or wants money. The government should not have to pay ridiculously high wages, higher than the hourly wages most of them will get with their college degree, just because someone is a student.

Or we could work on research into self-sustaining moon colonies and eventually colonies on other planets.

That wouldn't violate the moral codes of the majority of Earth's people.

It's still pretty funny.

The recent Supreme Court ruling will open discussion over national law regarding guns, but the state laws will not be the same ever.

For example, California has a bunch of anti-gun people, so they're going to have state laws against guns. Texas, however, has plenty of pro-gun people, so they're going to have less bans.

I find it funny how a government that can't keep a secret would be able to pull something like this off. Some ultra-liberal, anti-Bush bureaucrat would have leaked the damning information if it existed, because it would have led to the impeachment and removal from office of Bush.

I find it strange that both the end of the long-count calendar and the end of the free internet appear in the same year...

Which leads me to another question: why 2012? What's so damn special about 2012?
