1: I'm a little surprised all the other countries haven't ganged up on us already, too. 2: We're all going to die no matter what we do. :p PS None of those 3 motives apply to those countries [like Scandinavia] that consider quality of life more important than profit - explain, please.

Depends on how often you 'need' to go home, how much tolerance you have for deadhead [to & from], and whether you can live with getting there when the freight does. DFW has always been ok for me. [Solo, straight truck]

If heterosexuals can engage in homosexual relations while in prison, because it's their only outlet for sex with another person, why do you believe that priests, who are in a 'prison' of a different sort [imposed celibacy], wouldn't take advantage of whatever is available? Which is little boys...

In post 13, it's explained very clearly why the question was absolutely not "out of context", [which is how I read it, too, originally]. And BTW: the 'ignore' was not in place [as the above quotes illustrate] until after the question had been ignored more than once. Funny, that's just how it...

Understood - it's just that many would be ok with making an exception for someone taking out our President, as long as it's Obama.

So it's easier - when did "difficult" ever stop us from doing what needed to be done? Or even doing what we just wanted to do, like putting a man on the moon: how easy was that? Floating marine windpower looks promising....

You know you're not going to get an answer to that, right? If you push, you'll get excuses. Keep pushing, eventually you'll get ignored. And you know what the honest answer would be: "As long as the President is Obama, I'd be celebrating!"

That article was written by the Catholic Education Resource Center - you don't suppose they might have planted it as 'damage control'? Nearly every statement is supported by "there's no evidence", which says only that it hasn't been subject to rigorous scientific study. It does NOT mean their...

Nitpicking. The point was that Germany is accomplishing what we are not, but should be, IMO. Maybe they encourage little girls to be scientists and engineers when they grow up.....

I don't make a habit of ignoring them, as some do. So, again: do those women you mentioned, who "run everything" in the church, do they make the important decisions, like buying or selling church property? :confused:

That wasn't a "simplistic" statement, it was simply a fact. Sure, there are differences between the US and Germany, but when has the US ever backed down from a technological challenge? Remember when we went to the moon? And the International Space Station? We used to do big, important, "Wow!"...

Pretty nice ride, there. My ex had [probably still has] a 69 Mercury Cyclone that got a lot of attention at the car shows, and made 11 seconds the one time he took it to the track. [Afraid to chip the expensive paint, lol] I got tired of the shows after awhile, [same cars, same people], but I...

Because ignoring a direct question about one's claims/comments is generally seen as an admission that one has no answer, and therefore, lacks credibility. Your response to my comment that women aren't allowed to be priests was "So what?" And here's the answer: if women had been allowed to become...

Once a proofreader, always a proofreader: somebody needs to fix the typo on Load 1's 'Customer' page, in case anyone beside us compulsive readers finds it, 'cause it cracks me up, but it's not supposed to be funny, okay? The blurb about being community stewards and giving back mentions Wreaths...

People are beginning to panic because it's pretty obvious that man is certainly capable of destroying the whole earth in a relentless and heedless race to be Masters of the Universe. And that some pretty powerful people have a lot invested in the race, and they would rather we continue debating...

It only goes in one direction, is what's offensive [highly!]. Men can be in need of 'rescuing', but that doesn't ever get spoken about [out loud, or in public], much less made into fairy tale tropes. Portraying only women as needing to be rescued, and only men as the rescuers [unless you're...

Rather ironic, that people who have a history of inbreeding are so often opposed to gay marriage, IMO. The lack of access to potential mates outside their immediate family didn't stop them from enjoying a sex life, or marriage and parenthood, but they believe their religion should stop gays from...

Oh, it's possible, lol. I wear shoes only when absolutely necessary, and only own shoes that can be kicked off in a flash. ;)
