    Fred Phelps, Founder of Anti-Gay Westboro Dead at age 84.

    The question is, which people have such nerve. Show me the link to their Web page were the Church made this comment? One look at that picture and my Spidey Sense kicked in. The Westboro Baptist Church doesn't have funerals.

    ACLU: NSA’s PRISM Program is Doubly Illegal

    Google was already encrypting searches in China and a few other places. Now that goes global. In addition, they are now also encrypting all e-mail on their servers, specifically so the NSA can't intercept the data between Google data centers. Google Enhances Encryption Technology for Email -...

    Gay discrimination

    In the context of the history of human civilization and society, and the history of marriage and what it was created for, that's an argument I would love to read. It's an argument that cannot be made without redefining the term itself.

    Say what ! , naw it can't be.

    Oh, there's a whole bunch of 'em I didn't post. I'm pushin' it as it is. :D

    Yes, it's important to focus on the titles and what they might mean. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Breast Snatch Adams You're Got Male! Oklahomo! A Streaker Named Desire The Da Vinci Load A Midsummer Night's Cream Hairy Potter and the Philosopher's Bone The Devil Wears Nada Lust In Space The...

    Gay discrimination

    In order to drive home the point that gay marriage is equal marriage and homosexuals aren't getting special rights or anything, the County Clerks of Washtenaw and Muskegon counties have announced that unlike every other Saturday in the history of Saturdays, their offices will be open this...

    Gay discrimination

    You have really got to stop getting analogy advice from asjssl. They believe that because they want it really, really badly, They don't care if gay marriage will harm anyone. Couldn't care less. If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon. That's an absurd saying to mean that just because...

    Why does it have to be so ugly?

    Probably, but with more than 13 companies working on air cars, including Daewoo, Pugot and Honda, they aren't likely to get their wish. The same technology is already being used in certain heavy vehicles for brake energy regeneration (developed in US government and industry labs, actually).

    Gay discrimination

    It's not an argument, it's two simple questions which you should be able to answer. You gave two justifications for same-sex marriage, and all I asked was what relationship the justifications have with same-sex marriage. Since you are unable to give an answer to either, then both can be...

    Gay discrimination

    What does "WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE WALKING THE FACE OF THE EARTH...so...since they CAN NOT reproduce" have to do with same-sex marriage? I'm also wondering, still, What does gays kissing & holding hands in public have to do with same-sex marriage?

    Why does it have to be so ugly?

    The air cars are really designed for people who live and work in larger cities, not for commuters. They would also be popular in large retirement communities. My stepdad retired to a large retirement community in Florida (The Villages) and they all drive golf carts around the streets there.

    Whatcha Using ?

    Don't get sucked into thinking you need to wait until the contract runs out. Most of the time you can just pay the early termination fee (which diminishes with every month) and you end up paying way less with the cheaper no-data plan. If you eliminate, say, $30 a month for the data plan, that...

    Why does it have to be so ugly?

    You mean like motorcycles? Other compressed air power cars carry their own compressor, and a small engine to run the compressor. On those models, the engine provides power for heat and air conditioning. On those models, kinetic energy from the wheels and the engine ensure the compressor is...

    Paragraphs???

    It's the publisher's catalog entry for the book description. In that context, more than one paragraph would actually make it less readable.

    Gay discrimination

    No, it's yours. It's the argument you made above, whether you intended to make it or not: "Is there not enough people in the world as it is...so having a group that can't reproduce is a good thing...stop complaining about them...THANK THEM!!." THEREFORE LET THEM GET MARRIED. You just...

    Jake's Law

    Seems to me that if you kill someone with your vehicle, what distracted you that caused the accident is irrelevant. The person who killed Jake was fined and released, but he should have been charged with manslaughter, as well. The implication is that is if you kill someone while driving drunk...

    Whatcha Using ?

    I use the laptop most of the time. Moderator functions via the app are limited (and moving posts or threads to different forums is extremely difficult on the app). The only time I use the phone app is when I'm sitting there waiting to get loaded or unloaded, and of course while I'm driving. :D...

    Paragraphs???

    There are many differences, like with Internet journalism you aren't really constrained by space like you are in print. And the fact that people tend to "scan" Internet articles rather than read every word as with print, so you have to present it as being more easily readable, to better choose...
