Yeah... I think I'll pass on the sulphuric acid if it's all the same to you.

"Vegetable" is not a valid botanical classification. It's a term used to describe attributes relevant to use in food (taste etc.). One doesn't exclude the other. Ketchup, being processed, is obviously neither. Edit: On a side note, this just might be the silliest poll in recent memory. The...

Ironically, you can actually build a battery with a lemon quite easily with the help of a nail and a coin. Please don't tell me you've tasted battery acid.

No political party has the stones to do what is necessary. Not that it matters, no one would vote for them anyway since while it may be necessary, it's not going to be popular. We're going to screw ourselves over for a while yet, then hope that it's not too late once it starts to dawn on us that...

Parts of Europe, especially the northern parts like the GB and Scandinavian region might actually get colder as the climate disrupts the golf stream.

You cannot discuss alignment without skirting the edges of intelligence. Either requires awareness of your actions and generally deals with the intent rather than the actual effect. Doing the wrong thing because you're ignorant is a far cry from doing the wrong thing because you want to. Or a...

Scared people are irrational people. After 9/11, Bush could probably get away with practically anything. Telling fairy tales of terrorists hiding under your bed, a quite popular hobby among certain politicians it seems, served to expand on that quite a bit. Combine that with Kerry, a choice...

Where is "here"?

So, basically, some are trying to convert, others are being offended by the attempt, and yet more doesn't give a damn one way or another?

Your comparison leaves a lot to be desired...

Anything could contain a bomb. It doesn't take a lot of plastique to do a lot of damage, especially not if placed well. If people are going to be paranoid about it, I would suggest worrying about abandoned backpacks or similar rather than panels with blinking LEDs.

$10 says this will change nothing. I'm quite sure that soon enough, certain people will discover that money provide little nutrition. Sad part being of course that the rest of us will have to pay the price as well, and all the money in the world won't be enough to cover that.

While I'd say Bush has caused more damage overall, Saddam is probably the more "evil" one. I do believe Bush has good intentions, but as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. He's incompetent, not evil (which, given his position, is about as bad as the alternative). Saddam on...

If I was a terrorist planting bombs at strategic locations, I wouldn't place them out in the open, and I wouldn't make them look like a cartoon character giving people the finger (although the latter would be sort of funny, in a morbid kind of way. Talk about adding insult to injury).

As far as I know, it's available in most if not all western countries. I have no idea about the rest of the world, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's available elsewhere. I'm hardly an expert though.

Just remember that any barrier, whether cultural, religious or linguistic, can be overcome as long as you speak slowly and loudly.

Re: Emma Bunton Apparently she's about to have a little baby spice of her own.

I wonder how long it'll take before one of those stories that you're not sure you wanted to hear but never seems to stop comming will be shared.

I try to get in a solid 8 hours each night, but it tends to drop down to 7 or so because I'm lousy at going to bed when I'm supposed to.

You left out the context. The part between your two quotes where I said specifically that a black hole cannot be seen as in direct observation because sight requires light to be reflected and light cannot be reflected by a black hole. You know, the part that sort of void your entire objection...

Space is not a vast area of nothing. It's a vast area of very little. In any case, it'd be nice if you tried reading everything instead of quoting out of context. No, you wouldn't be able to see it in the traditional sense, but you would probably notice that a circular area was void of any...

Who's the gal who needs no man? ****** him dead with the frying pan. Did it 'cause he missed the can. Psycho ***, Psycho ***, she's Psy-cho ***!

The video wasn't great, and certainly not something that I (as a skeptic) would cite. Don't confuse atheism and agnosticism, though.

I suppose that theoretically, if you got close enough so that outside light doesn't bend and interfere, you'd be able to see an area of empty space (hence the name "black hole"). A black hole is nothing but a gravity well. But like I said, you can see gravitational signatures around it. If you...

God is useless as an explanation. It doesn't answer how, it doesn't answer why, and it introduces another entity that is even more complex than the question you had to begin with. I don't deny the possibility that God does exist, but I'm not about to start believing in a vastly more complicated...

Assuming the program works as it should and you're not doing something you're not supposed to (I don't know if there's a limit to how much you can zoom in for certain sectors, for example), the only thing that comes to mind is some form of graphical glitch (update drivers, see if there's a list...

Well, they are not paid to think. It's mostly optional and, at times I suspect, a hindrance.

Apart from the fact that you don't even know what country I'm from, where I live or, for that matter, anything about my relation to any country, a country is still a non-living entity. If the country I have mentioned thus far (which is to say a purely theoretical one) feels insulted, then you...

Calling people whiners and complainers without even addressing the point at hand is what I consider "mildly insulting".

Do try to direct your comments as someone. Statements general enough to be applied to anyone not directly supporting your view (and mildly insulting at that) are extremely annoying. For example, I have a thing or two to say about your last post if you're talking to me (and if you're not, those...

It is a band-aid solution to a problem. It may alleviate the symptoms, but it won't cure you any more than cutting of a limb would stop it from aching (technically true, but hardly an ideal solution). Exercise to increase your metabolism and use a diet that ensures there's less overall to...

Oh and by the way, while this has no relevance at all to what I'm saying, I just thought I'd point it out: World War 2. Japanese-American citizens. Would you like articles?

Why would I move to a place that does not share my values? I pick where I want to live based on my values and makes some compromises about the rest. But it doesn't mean I'm going to get ****** because of something I don't believe in or that I won't move if I find a better place. I have no...

You're not given an education, you're buying one, whether directly or through taxes. Don't try to tell me I owe anything to a country, because anything I get from it, I've already given to it.

And still, you've completely failed to get the point. A country doesn't grant rights any more than a chair allows you to sit on it. It's a non-living, abstract entity. As you may or may not be aware of, not existing severely impairs somethings ability to do much of anything. Actually, a chair is...

Again, a country doesn't grant any rights, because a country is an abstract entity. People do, based on their values. Who they are or where they live is completely irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, and I'm not going to get myself ****** over semantics. A country is supposed to represent my...

No, it doesn't. A country is abstract, the values it represents is those of the people living in it. You can change the country, remove it, do anything you want to it, the values will remain the same if the people living there are still there. Patriotism is based on the assumption that a country...

If someone were to invade the country where I lived and said to me (and assuming I believed them) that they'll give me the exact same freedom and rights that I already have and no one will get ****** unless the resist, all they are going to do is change ownership and maybe desecrate the flag a...

I find it somewhat ironic that people talk about hurting or even ******* people for burning the flag of a country that was supposedly created so that people would be allowed to do things like that. Quite frankly, nationalism/patriotism is lost on me. It's essentially a religion. Worship of an...

If you do, pray that you never leave it in the closet or under the bed and forget about it. "Honey, a word please... NOW"

I haven't actually seen Max Hardcore in action, but I get the feeling that I'd like some sort of blunt instrument should I ever meet him.

Ranging from mildly disturbing to outright creepy.

That armor couldn't even protect the innocence of ********. Not that I mind.

Re: Would you marry a "former" prostitute or pornstar? I think I'd be less inclined to get involved with a pornstar/prostitute or be very happy about it, but if I did and really loved her etc., I'd go for it.

That's it, I'm bringing a handgun the next time someone invites me to their hotel room.

I thought those things were caused by small changes (insects, light etc) in the fraction of a second a camera uses to create a video frame.

Nothing odd about that. If your parents are mixed black and white, there's a chance of being white, being black, or being bi-racial (not sure if the chances are 25/25/50, but the pattern should be something like that at least). Non-identical twins are no different from other ******** in that...

Is it gay? Well, that depends. Is the person giving you the blowjob a guy?

What was so scary about Blair Witch anyway? I saw it a few months ago and I found it more boring than anything.

Are there any other boxes than your modem? If so, that's probably a hub and many have built-in firewalls. I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that you probably don't have one of those since you didn't know if you did. If there is no hardware in the way and you've already had...
