Well, not like that in my case...

Yep, it's current. And I've been arguing against getting tied up since they began considering BJJ for training. And I was still in the Marines at the time.
My other concern, being in tune with...
My two cents:
First, a government derives its authority from the consent of those it governs. Therefore, a system which rules without consent--e.g., the Ba'ath party in Iraq--is not a legitimate...
Ha!
Actually, unless hgh therapy has gotten much safer in the last decade, I would classify it in the "dangerous" category, due to the tendency for acromegaly to develop. Especially since we...
Aaron, are you familiar with Japanese idea of "the sword which gives life and the sword which takes life away?" A sword has no ambiguity of purpose; it is not found on the roadside and pressed into...
Actually, on September 11, 2001--immediately after the attack--several gas stations in my home town (the "Break Time" chain) increased gas prices by 50 cents a gallon. They got away with it for...
You are correct. Aikido would be classified as a soft/internal style. Judo would be soft/external; karate hard/external.

At least the girlfriend is "real" (at least in Jason's delusion :D) and has verbally promised him chocolates "when she is able to do so." So, there is a...
Congatulations. That was exactly my point.
Well, this is a refreshing change from the usual constituency of these debates!

Well, you didn't touch on eugenics, which would have deprived the world of...
I'm afraid that I'm going to have to disagree with you here, Aaron. Personally, I'm all in favor of genetic engineering (probably want to keep at the animal testing for a while, though...); and...
Hmmm... You may have missed the analogy of the person quoting a book whose authority cannot be questioned...
Probably why they don't use Dutch chocolate in M&M's...
:D
Of course, if they are Shrodinger's, I can only hope that they forgot the decay-activated poison pill in this box...
Indeed. Two great tastes that... well, I think we have another forum for that sort of thing.
:D
Some time ago on another thread I stated that I do not believe in forcing my religious views on others, since there is the possibility that they are correct rather than I. This was met with the...
So the difference would actually be "there is medicine and there is biomedical research", yes?
Addressing the topic of the nature of science, here is a quote from Niels Bohr:
"It is wrong to...
Wow! I was just reading a book on neuroplasticy (The Mind and the Brain by Jeffrey M. Schwarz) and wondering if television programming could be responsible for ADD by overstimulation of the young...
Ah, well. Decisions, decisions... A single intelligence or an infinite number of universes?
What would William of Ockham say? (Even forgiving his religious persuasion)
Really? When I was in Qatar in 2002, all the newspapers carried stories about Arab Muslims in many countries uniting at the call of Hussein and his sons that the Great Satan (that's the US of A) was...
I personally realized that Hollywood was irredeemably and unrepentantly evil when Michael Moore won an Academy Award. It was bad enough that he was recognized at all--but Bowling for Columbine? As...
See, and when *you* say that, it takes on a whole new meaning... But it's okay, 'cuz I've got a stable macro worm-hole and I'm whipping one end of it at significant fractions of C (I'd say that you...
I was just pointing out a possible source of connections.
Sounds like you have a lot more legitimate gripes than your counterparts on this side of the pond.
:beer:
I'll probably get back to make a meaningful post here later (No input from the cheap seats, you kuts!) . First, I have to get this rendition of *Caddy Shack* out of my head:

No problem!
Hey, they're *photos*. What do you want?
Most welcome.
Firstly, we didn't take the oil the first time we fought Saddam, we didn't take it the ten years we spent flying...
Found it. Iraq broke off relations with the U. S. in 1967 (under Saddam's predecessor) in protest over American policy towards Israel (since we didn't think being a Jew was a capital offense). In...
