I never said marriage was a "recent cultural tradition" in the "conservative religious right context". The two quoted snippets there are from two different ideas, yet you've meshed them into a single one of marriage. I said the whole notion of formalized marriage is a religious one. Just...

50 or 60 people are not gonna weigh in here with their personal financial information, no matter which forum you place this in, so forget that. You beat to death the net income question in another thread, but the answers weren't to your liking. So now you want the same or more people to post...

OK, fine, the US Code has its own definition. But none of those, including the one you highlighted (C) armed conflict between military forces of any origin;) applies to the organizers or the perpetrators of 9-11 (unless you want to really, really stretch the imagination and definitions). Yep...

Did it taste like fish, or like chicken? :D

What you have postulated is half a premise, one that can only be completed by conjecture. Those who (in your opinion) understand, they have an understanding based on a conjecture. On the other hand, those who actually know why we were attacked on 9-11 (it's not a secret) know it wasn't an act of...

Couple of points, a minor one is "The Marriage Protection Act" (MPA) is actually currently a bill, nothing more, which prevents federal courts from forcing states which do not recognize same-sex marriages to do so. It is a bill that keeps dying in committee that is to protect the "Defense of...

I would submit that those who think 9-11 was an act of war are those who lack a fundamental understanding of the problem. One needs to be able to discern the difference between a terrorist act of violence and an act of war. By definition, an act of war can only be committed by nation state...

Did you actually watch the video? Paul never said anything even remotely close to what is depicted in the headline. He said 9-11 was "terrorism". He also said, in response to, "So Congressman, you don't believe that there needs to be a comprehensive law at the federal level equipping law...

No, it's not really like that at all. Moose described specific problems with his, and then wondered if he had a bad unit, and asked if others where happy with theirs (Parrot headsets). Your comment to Moose didn't address his issues nor his questions. Yes, I did. You offered up an alternative...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the thread is about locating a replacement battery for a Parrot headset, and your suggestion to solve this already solved problem was: go out and buy a completely..different..headset. That's like when someone posts a problem with their PC, and some yahoo...

You do need to make sure the microphone is positioned so that it's almost, but not quite touching the corner of your mouth. Just a few centimeters away from the corner. Do your best Dr. Evil impression, and the microphone should just touch the fingernail.

Press the volume UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously, and the flashing blue light goes out.

I think it's time for you to go to Applebee's and have a great big order of baby back ribs.

Because based on other comments in this thread, I thought we were trying to be as disgusting and inappropriate as possible. Did I win? Or is it the castration by prolonged torture the winner?

It's just as funny, just as cute, and just as appropriate as those calling for the mutilation and death of someone based on assumption, conjecture and sensationalism before a trial has even taken place, much less any facts have come out.

I'd order an extra one, but it'll just sit around for a year or more, assuming this new one lasts as long as the old one did. Mine came wrapped up and stapled in a plain piece of paper. Carefully undo the staples when removing it, because the paper inside has important installation...

I'm with Greg - it's time to make pizza delivery drivers log, have a medical card, and have an anchovy endorsement on their PDL.

Battered baby. Tastes like chicken.

Those who participate in some of the more highly ritualized religions should be quite familiar with the Chi and the ChiRho labrum, like the Eastern Orthodox Divine Liturgy and many of the more grandiose Catholic Masses, where the symbols are used to denote a special reverence to Christ, such as...

Shorthand and saving space were exactly why the monks started using it, too. It's also why people use numerals instead of writing out the number, and why people use IMO instead of writing it out. :D
