Wow, you must be ignorant AND retarded. Speed bumps enforce a SPEED LIMIT which means that if you're traveling at the speed limit they really have no effect on you. Not all vehicles are identical, are they? Different vehicles will have different speeds at which they can cross the speed bumps withou...

Where in the fuck did McCain get all that money from? He's been in the military or a politician for almost his entire adult life. Frankly unless he married the money, the idea of a Senator whose family (his Dad was an Admiral, not a multimillionaire) wasn't rich being worth $40 million raises a few...

Why? You expect a reasonable parent to let a kid keep a car when either he/she lies about drinking in it or does not moderate what comes into his/her car? This just stinks of teenage self-entitlement to me. He didn't own the car, didn't pay for it, and didn't follow the rules set forth for him to u...

Assuming that it was still her car, she has every legal right to do so, but she seems rather petty if she'd remove her permission for him to use her car and publicly embarrass him, just because someone else had an unopened bottle of alcohol in the vehicle. I know that I wouldn't have expected a &quo...

Duchess: I was thinking along similar lines, though not necessarily so drastic. With incontrovertible proof of God's existence and proof that God's an asshole, I could see the study of the supernatural being considered a science. When the cost of failure is eternal torment, I think many people would...

Well, thats ass-backward. Sauron HATED direct confrontation, and not just because he lost in every single one he was in. On the other hand, he was exceedingly charismatic up until his downfall in Numenor, and was able to charm everyone with the exception of the super Wise uber Elves. After forging ...

Speaking only for the first two: I think that Palpatine would have more success than Sauron. Sauron is practically a god of combat, but I think he'd have a hard time recruiting minions. On the other hand, Palpatine is practically Vetinari with Force Lightning and a lightsaber. He'd have more chance ...

I'm surprised that gay men were found to be more in the woman group. One wouldn't think that sexual orientation would have that much effect on brain wiring or whatever makes for these differences. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse? Wouldn't the brain wiring affect both sexual orientation...

Those guys already claim the government is ripping them off. People like that honestly don't understand why you can't simultaneously demand lower taxes and massively increased program spending on stuff you happen to use. You can't tailor social policy to these idiots; one might as well ask what the...

If you make $250,000 or more, your income is taxed at 40%. That means that, if you make $250,000 per year, you owe the government $100,000 in taxes. Period. No bullshit deductions or fancy accounting. You owe that much. This is not how income tax works, and for good reason. For your example the mar...

How about we get rid of mandatory driver's licenses, and you repeat that remark. How well would it fly in that discussion? 1. A reasonable but untrained person cannot be expected to reliably operate a motor vehicle on a public road without significant risk of harm to others. Training received and t...

Re: Bush Vows To Eliminate U.S. Dependence On Oil By 4920
Now for some real news in the same vein: Link. US to turn off power-hungry light bulbs Fresh from its last-minute acceptance of a global climate deal last month in Bali, the US underlined its green credentials by flicking the switch on the power-hungry incandescent light bulb.
