and you saw that in your magic 8 ball? what does your 8 ball say about Red Sox winning this season? Some people are just amazing when it comes to assumptions about the future.

So if it's true, can we apply it to every other aspect of our lives? How about applying it to a society? If there is something bad about the society, the only way to fix it is to make it worse, by taking out more goodness from the society, until it reaches a point where it's 'good' again? Who defines what's good and what's not in this case?

With all due respect, if you study Islam, Quran and the teachings of Muhammad are the laws that are supposed to be followed by an Islamic government. Just expressing your doubt in its value without any knowledge of it does not make any sense.

Don't we have ads on Bing? Don't we ads on Hotmail/Outlook.com? Don't we have ads on every service out there from Microsoft that's free? If you can't trust Google, you will never trust Microsoft either. Birds of a feather ...?

When can we run Windows XP on it?

LOL! No. How did you come to this conclusion. Few atheists would deny the existence radio waves, bacteria, electrons...sounds...

That's still 'visible' to the eye, and by that mean it's observable, through scientific means (hence the reason why visible was in quotes).

Because Atheism is the existence of nothing, the denial of an existence of any kind of Lord and the lack of any belief in anything except what's 'visible' to the eye.

Apart from publicity/shame, nothing much. UK laws don't apply there any way, even though they should adopt a very similar approach to these mindless cases.

"When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information." So Google should be next in line! Let us know beforehand so we can stop using that part of Google, unless they want to take ALL of Google out ...

Just to clarify, there is no incursion and fighting in Pakistan with border patrols. The Pakistani government has allowed these drone strikes to be conducted on its own citizen for the "cool" amount of money they get from US. Keeps all parties happy, except the Pakistani people themselves. As far as keeping yourself immune from US government's involvement is concerned, it's better for a country to be neutral rather than be ally or against US, because either way, it turns out bad for the country.

Send Mrs. Monkey to accompany him as well. He will be bored to death otherwise for not having someone by his side to pick tasty morsels out of his hair! or vice versa of course.

Absolutely! Why are we even bothering to listen to Mr. Friedman anyway? He's a moron of galactic proportions and that notion is overflowing in his articles as well.

Next, we'll be hearing Mr. Donald Trump educating us on how to run for elections!

I'm glad it's sorted. It nearly gave me a heart attack!

It's nice, works on flash and will work on HTML5.

If we are all concerned about the global warming and carbon footprint, why don't we stop using everything that burns fuel, like cars, buses, trains/subways, shut down all coal and nuclear powered power plants. We should all use bikes with recyclable parts or just walk wherever we want to. Sounds plausible? I didn't think so either. We should stop dissing rich people for their "polluting deeds" when we can't change our own!
