  1. What do you use in the sauce? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  2. Hmmm...You're the second person today that I have seen try to describe Lou Dobbs. The funny thing was the other person described him as being very conservative. I'll have to check him out and see for myself, I guess. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  3. You're right. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  4. Yes. 2) Is it possible to oppose anything that gay rights advocates want (such as gay marriage) without being vilified with the 'phobe label? . Denying rights or privileges to a specific group due to their sexual orientation seems pretty bigoted to me, but not necessarily homophobic. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  5. No. Before you say it: Clinton was wrong for enforcing them. I've heard no complaints, but that does not make it right. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  6. You do realize that the No Fly zones were not authorized by the UN, right? I don't blame Iraq for shooting at the planes. We would have done exactly the same had the roles been reversed.. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  7. Do you really expect a former president to go back to practicing law? Is there really a cost associated with a temporary loss of his ability to practice? edit: Skydekker said it first. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  8. Sorry. I didn't mean to apply logic to the argument. Carry on. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  9. Drills of that nature seem to be a bit like having a surprise drill at the bank at five o'clock on a Friday afternoon, so that the police and bank's employees and customers will be prepared in the event of a real robbery. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. There is something inherently wrong with trying someone for violating a law prior to that law's existence. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  11. That's a good cover. It was very faithful to the original, not that I would mind seeing some of Sabbaths stuff done with a different arrangement. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  12. What is the source of this story? Looks like bullshit to me. A person that was 46 in 2002, would have normally graduated high school in 1974 or 1975. This story would have us believe that this person was in college at least 3 years early. That is possible but not likely. Nice catch, though I despise Rush. I don't hold his drug use against him. I wouldn't even care if he started just for fun. His hypocrisy is a little hard to take, however. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  13. How can they schedule a verdict? Does the judge/jury have a fixed amount of time for deliberation? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  14.

  16. enantiodromia n. The tendency of things to change into their opposites. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  17. Nah, they don't like me over there. I'm too argumentative. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  18. Actually, yes. Once upon a time he could do that very, very well. Which brings us back to the question of whether he is really an idiot, or a faker, trying to win over those Americans that tend to be intimidated by intelligence. Math tutoring available.

  19. Very true. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  20. A nice political thought, but the TenthAmendment says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." It turns out they both do. States have rights, too. So your argument, sir, is in error. Incorrect. Wron-go! Finished! Kaput! Of course, lawyerly spinning is at work here. Why, we lawyers tend to think that words have meaning! If the Tenth Amendment says that rights are reserved to the states, my legal education has caused me to believe it means it. So, I guess I'll defer to you in temrs of construction. What, sir, do you think they meant when they said that "rights are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people?" I guess that's where that $120k in student loans got me - before law school, I would have thought that it guarantees rights to the people, and that "rights are reserved to the States, respectively" actually means the opposite - that they MEANT to say "no rights are reserved to the States." I apologize for actually looking at the meaning of words. I guess that makes me a "strict constructionist" asshole. The Constitution appears to make a distinction between rights and powers. States did not have rights reserved; they had powers reserved. Similar, but different. People had both rights and powers reserved. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  21. In a way it saddens me to read this. Mathematics do not come easy to many people. Even Einstein struggled with Math. But learning Math is like climbing a mountain. It is a helluva lot of hard work, but once you get to the top, the new perspective offers a wonderful new view of the world like no other. Right now, you're closer to the summit than the ground.

  22. Congratulations. Don't give up now-- All the Math you have taken thus far in life has been to prepare you for Trigonometry and Calculus, which are actually interesting and extremely useful. Excellent job on your test.
  23. Such a shame. I think pert of the problems in the US are due to people using their personal preconceptions to determine the validity of a source instead of judging the source on the merits of its methodology. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  24. No, it is an attempt to give a new right that wasn't in existence previously. There is no right to marriage in the US Constitution - be it same sex or heterosexual. The definition of marriage and the requirements for it come down to the individual states - there is no federal family code! Paragraph 1 of the XIV Amendment of the US Constitution states: Are you saying the benefits of marriage are not privileges of the married citizens? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!
