  1. So, without ignoring our laws and constittution, what (IYO) would work? The status quo is not working, thats not debateable. So SOMETHING has to change. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  2. Everyone defines social ethics. That's how it works. Funny how for 200 years there's always someone Chicken Little-ing about how the country's going down the shitter. And yet it's never gone down the shitter. There's a recognizable pattern in that. Funny also how its generally those that are in the minority at the time (and yes, that works both ways) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. Apart from Airtwardo and BillyV cracking me up (as always - loving the idea of a hearing ear dog) thanks for the suggestions everyone! I have the blessing and curse of being able to read stupidly quickly - the kindle has been a godsend, especially here in NZ where a paperback is 3 to 6 times the cost of a kindle book!

  7. hey all - have just finished everything on my Kindle so need some recommendations Currently into a lot of sci-fi/fantasy so any recommendations there would be great, but also open to anything else. Here is one for everyone else to get us started - anything by Christopher Brookmyre is good if you like quirky crime novels! Never try to eat more than you can lift

    No. Not just MY definition . . . 1) Webster's - 1 a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law 2) Dictionary.com - mar·riage [mar-ij] Show IPA noun 1. a. the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc. Antonyms: separation. 3) Java-man.com The Definition of Marriage (Nikah) The original meaning of the work nikah is the physical relationship between man and woman. It is also used secondarily to refer to the contract of marriage which makes that relationship lawful. Which of the two meanings is intended can be determined by the context in which it is used. 4) France FRANCE, January 31, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – France’s Constitutional Council, its highest court for constitution issues, ruled on Friday that the country’s definition of marriage as between one man and one woman is valid under French constitution. 5) Oxford Dictionary Definition of marriage noun 1the formal union of a man and a woman, typically as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife: 6) Legal Dictionary - The legal status, condition, or relationship that results from a contract by which one man and one woman, who have the capacity to enter into such an agreement, mutually promise to live together in the relationship of Husband and Wife in law for life, or until the legal termination of the relationship. 7) South Africa - The Marriage Act, 1961,[4] which allows for the solemnisation of a civil or religious marriage between a man and a woman.

  11. If apple are falling behind the times, blackberry are plummeting.They are no longer relevant even to their core audience, the corporates. I am actually surprised they have lasted this long. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. Really? My son is in the market for a new laptop and wondered if he should save up for a Macbook Pro. I'd love to get you started on why they're not worth it! Hey Skymama - I work for a company that moves other companies to Google Apps, and therefore I'm device independent as mostly what I run is a browser. I've probably been given 10-12 laptops of various sorts in the last 18 months through work testing things. Unless your son is doing something very resource intensive (video editing/ heavy development) just about anything will do the job these days. After all that testing I just bought a new laptop for myself, and its a macbook air. My work machine is a chromebook. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  13. I dunno, sounds very complicated. I have this really simple solution called a 'window'. Its basically a hole in the wall except its covered with glass. It allows you to look outside and see what the weather is like. Also as an added bonus I have this other feature called a 'door'. If you're not satisfied with just looking at what the weather is like, this feature allows you to go outside and experience it first hand. Nah, that'll never catch on Never try to eat more than you can lift

  22. Good quote and may even be true. Unfortunately, too many people define Patriot = someone who agrees with me Non-Patriot = someone who doesn't Thats not the case, despite how much those on the far right would like it to be Never try to eat more than you can lift

  25. I disagree - I think the change will come because people will start installing alternative power and cleaner solutions on new build homes, which make s a lot moe sense from an ROI perspective than retrofitting. Its already happening in fact. This will drive the technology which will lower prices. Never try to eat more than you can lift
