Or how about this one?

They charge you withsomething.
They find no evidence to support the charges.
So they troll through your history and keep looking until they find something they can make stick, to show that they were right all along.

Clearly it was for Americans - thus the use of miles.

Motorcycles?

I very much agree with your observation.
Many people are arguing that the USA would extradite him from the UK if they wanted him.

I would guess that the master plan is to find him guilty in Sweden, keep him in prison for some nominal period (say 6 months), then extradite him upon release.
By then, he has lost a lot of support, the media has lost interest and the public will have little sympathy for a "rapist".

Sure, the mind can cause physical illness, even death.

I've always wished that they could bring back the moa.
A lot of meat on that bird!
And the eggs too! It would be like the Flintstones.

To you that must have been annoying, but to me that sounds FUCKING AWESOME!

I think that is too much of a generalisation. The problem is that phones are often built down to a price. And for a long time build quality was not a selling point since you would throw away the phone after 2 years anyway (or replace it with a newer, fancier one after a year).

My wife still carries a Motorola Pebl, a small clamshell with a strong hinge. This 5 year old phone is still mechanically sound, even after daily (but not heavy, constant) use by someone who is not particularly careful with gadgets.

Hipster!

I can only guess that it is a strawman created and maintained by those benefitting from the status quo. It is also easier to get people to take a position (particularly a negative one) if you frame the whole debate as an all-or-nothing, black and white issue.

I sometimes wonder if some sort of hang glider or paraglider would have been possible 150+ years ago.
Not powered flight, but truly controlled flight, yes.
And of course there were hot air balloons since 1783.

And what about the phone companies, are they not composed of humans?
And their multiplicitous wellbeing (derived from adequate profits) is more important than you the single phone user.
In fact, you should be shaken down for all your money NOW.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few!

I think you missed the point being made that if you educate yourself a bit about the origins of Christianity (not just the bible stories), you can see that it (and possibly God also) is a fabrication of man.

Thus still believing a bunch of hokum when you know it is made up is wilful ignorance.

My favourite is the Queensland Lungfish.
And here too.

Please bear in mind that Microsoft's objective here may not be to become the largest tablet vendor, but to simultaneously start the hype machine running for Win8 Tablet Edition and to provide a benchmark (wish list) for the OEMs to live up to with their own hardware.
