    Oh Ya? Well how do you explain the Orange bowl last night. Clearly Florida won because Tebow prayed to Jaysus more than those Okie heathens. Oh sure you can delude yourself and say it was because he was a more talented QB, or that the Gators had a better game plan. That is just you relying your irrational faith in what you can see with your own eyes. I mean Tebow had John under one eye and 3:16 under the other. That is not random. Hmmph!

    It's kind of like tidying the kitchen. The point is to have nothing on the counter. Then whatever you put on the counter, you have room for.

    Actually if it were in C it would be a lot colder. Alaska's (and US's record cold was -62C=-80F. -60F on the other hand is a positively balmy -52C.

    AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH,.......... CHOOOOO! The coming of the great white handkerchief

    I guess you're not on the list. Me neither, so it's all good.

    Play favorites and collect campaign donations from arms manufacturers?

    Is that your rebuttal against the DaVinci Code/ bloodline of Christ story? He couldn't have children because he was a big fairy?

    Well there is nothing new here. Wolf does a good job of collating what anyone paying attention already knew; the military(surveillance, penal) - industrial complex exerts constant pressure on democratic institutions, and the last eight years have especially trying. The question is will the Obama administration conduct a holding action or push-back?

    Well not to worry Andy, the type of people who make those types of threats will be among the last to convert. Nice company you keep.

    Easy. Buy in metres, sell in feet (and that's a nice tidy profit in your pocket).

    Pecks and acre-feet are two of my favorites.

    You know how it is, green guys all look the same.

    Let's face it. The real resistance is nothing more than 'not invented here' syndrome. The yanks don't want to admit that anything invented by the French is in any way superior to what they are using now.

    Actually, water is pretty arbitrary too since it density varies quite a bit with temperature, so you have to put all sorts of other conditionals on it. Which is why specific gravity and not density is used; it already has standard temperature and pressure built in.

    The truth is Ukraine admits they haven't been paying the bills. British Columbia cut California's power supply off a couple of years ago for the same reason; what else you gonna do? It's not like this is a new problem.

    A psychologist is not competent to diagnose a TBI; that requires a neurologist. A psychologist is useful for dealing with the symptoms of TSI which may include PTSD. Re-read Nerdgirl's original post in this thread.

    I don't know that I would refer to bow-hunting as an action sport.

    Kids are always innocents, there's no so called about it. Tell that to Omar Khadr. He has been in Gitmo since he was fifteen.

    Ya, that is a law that is unique to the US as far as I know.

    I say no, but yes for those with verifiable traumatic brain injury. The brain is an organ like many others. If it is damaged, it is damaged.

    In this case, as I understand it, it has been referred to the courts. He has voiced his opinion that the law will not pass muster and that he is declining to spend taxpayers resources to attempt to attain an incorrect decision.

    nice illustration. I agree with your point as long as the masked man in your picture is just holding the gun. what will the police do once he starts shooting at them? what will they do when he starts killing other people arround? will they allow him to continue shooting or will they try to hit him, risking his hostage as well? does it matter that his "hostage" is actually his partner who could have fled but chose to stay? When I saw the picture I immediately thought the things you just wrote- right up until the bit about partner who chose to stay. The civilians in Gaza have no such choice, the borders are closed.

    There is no one answer. The relative lack of socialism is one factor. For example if you and I have a car accident your health care provider will try to get me to pay for your medical bills. My health care provider on the other hand is the government so they will just fix me up and move on. Another reason is the use of juries in determining tort awards. This leads to inflated awards compared to jurisdictions where judges tend to lean more toward "sober deliberation." Lawsuits in Canada tend to be more 'loser pay' than in the US so lawyers are less likely to take on stupid cases because we are more likely to fight rather than settle. Sue me? Fuck you pay my lawyer. Canada is not absolutely loser pay and US is not absolutely 'everyone pay their own' but there is a relative tendency that way. i have been told that more US jurisdictions follow "strict liability" laws than other areas (you just need to prove injury, not negligence) but those with more legal knowledge might pipe in here.
