    Unless you're going to introduce something not yet written into the premise, or "can" is used intentionally to make it a trick question, you only get a 14 hour day. How many deliveries you make is irrelevant, how fast your truck runs is irrelevant.

    I had that question two days ago. Got it right.

    I think if you read the question carefully, you'll see that vehicle size is irrelevant. ;)

    That's the opposite of pragmatic. You just took sides with your solution. Being pragmatic is stressing practical consequences as constituting the essential criterion in determining meaning, truth, or value. The pragmatic solution would be an action dictated by consideration of the immediate...

    Gay discrimination

    Wow. Five tangents. That's a new record. OK, what did I say? I said gays will never be accepted and embraced by society as normal. You say neither are blacks, but say they are accepted as normal, maybe, but not accepted and embraced? What the heck are you talking about? Blacks are indeed...

    Gay discrimination

    I don't know if she was a 'walk in' client, but "Walk-ins Welcome" means that, appointment or not, you're open to the public. I dunno, but we'll never get one without asking. An exclusive client list isn't the litmus test for open to the public, unless contracts are signed making them exclusive...

    No matter what, gays will never be accepted and embraced by society as normal.

    Gay discrimination

    Yes it does, because that's what they are ultimately after. You will rarely find a gay protest without seeing protests against the Bible, because the Bible is the foundation for their want of the "M" word. The Bible makes is pretty clear what the dogma's stance is on homosexuality, and they...

    If you were pragmatic you would.

    Gay discrimination

    Sorry. Not believable. Pragmatic means being able to see both side of the issue, and an extreme pragmatic can actually understand both sides of the issue. You can't even understand why "marriage" isn't "just a word." You think redefining marriage to mean the complete opposite of what it was...

    Gay discrimination

    Virginia is a good example. If gays had accepted Civil Unions back in the 70s an 80s, with all of the rights and privileges of marriage, instead of refusing it and wanting the "M" word, they would have gotten Civil Unions and all of the same rights as married people, and at this point it would...

    Gay discrimination

    Well, first of all, it's not "my" definition. Second, it's not a definition. I stated the reason for it being invented, not the definition of it. I'll definite it for you, and the definition won't exclude heterosexuals at all. Marriage is the legal or religious union between a man and a woman...

    Gay discrimination

    Homosexual couples invented it, for a specific purpose, with a specific meaning. It was about securing an environment to raise children, about getting in laws, making alliances and expanding the family labor force to ensure the viability and survivability of your little clan of the species...

    Gay discrimination

    As Layout said, icky has nothing to do with it. It's abnormal because it's not normal, not average, not typical, or not usual. Like I've already stated, the whole purpose of sex is procreation. It's the reason sex was invented. The reason for marriage is nurture that procreation within the...

    Gay discrimination

    The question is, why do they want it? You don't get to have something just because you want it really, really badly. They don't get to have marriage, because it's not theirs, and it never had been. Marriage has always been about the joining of a man and a women primarily for procreation...

    Gay discrimination

    So we're just throwing out random facts now? Or do you mean to imply that dolphins, giraffes, chimps, bonobos (look on youtube) are getting married, too? Just because homosexuality exists in nature doesn't make it any less abnormal. The entire purpose of sex is the propagation of the species...

    It happens. Some power steering reservoirs have a replaceable filter, others are integral and can only be replaced with a reservoir replacement.
