I was joking a bit. I understand where you're coming from, although my personal experience in life has been mostly the opposite to what you argue.
But punching an entire group of people in the face because a minority are mean doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
"mean" is not the right word. most of these people are nice. just insulting.
agreed! i was mostly referring to christians.
Yeah, where's the option for...
"Never heard of any of these"
religious people are often insulting atheists and people who put their faith in science, if not overtly, then in discriminating ways.
saying things like there are no morals with out god. calling people heathens. threatening that we will suffer greatly after we die.
does that mean we can punch them in the face?
Kill the pork eaters!!

I studied comparative cognition (anthropology branch) and I can tell you that there are many studies that show that Dolphins use complex, syntactically based language in the wild. Chimps can learn complex language in the lab, but they don't have it in the wild like Dolphins do.
Dolphins also aren't known to use tools. So, this seems to be a obvious counter example to their hypothesis.
i imagine if you did this in the usa you'd get sued for using spectrums you don't own. does anyone care in mexico?
What a coward you are. Posting lies.
2015 Accord LX = $21,890
https://www.truecar.com/prices...
Sure, you can max it out to get over $30K, but even the LX model is much more powerful and better equipped than my 1996 EX model.
FYI...there was no V6 Accord in 1996. Top end model had an inline 4 w/ 130 hp.
Ah, but you're controlling for inflation. I wasn't doing that in my example.
I remember I was paying about $0.89/gallon about 10 yrs ago.
If I control for inflation, car costs have actually DECREASED substantially over the last 20 yrs.
Thanks for the link. Just read through. Confirms what I had heard from other Europeans. There are clear limits on what is otherwise called "freedom of speech" so that it is not really "freedom of speech" in the sense that we have it here in the USA but more like "mostly you can say what you want as long as you don't offend people too much"
just a sampling of what's not allowed in Czech...much more in the article from other countries...
denigration of a nation, race, ethnic or other group of people (Article 355 of the Criminal Code),[65] i.e. hate speech,
inciting of hatred towards a group of people or inciting limitation of their civil rights (Article 356 of the Criminal Code),[66]
public approval of a felony crime (Article 365 of the Criminal Code),[69]
public display of sympathy towards a movement oriented at curbing rights of the people (Article 404 of the Criminal Code),[70] e.g. propagation of hate-groups,
public denial, questioning, endorsement or vindication of genocide (Article 405 of the Criminal Code),[71] e.g. Auschwitz lie,
Don't get me wrong, these all seem aimed at making for a better society, and they may be good to have, but they are nonetheless limits of freedom of speech.
They bring the cars from the engineers to the customers. They have people skills damn it!
Nissan warranties Leaf batteries against capacity loss for 5 yrs or 60K miles.
10 years is a stretch for battery life for pure electrics. Look on the Leaf forums and you'll see plenty of people who start to experience capacity drops after a few yrs. Then again, there will be a market for used Leafs with diminished capacity for people who want a spare car for (very) local commuting.
Don't believe those 200+ mile range for $30K rumors...the costs just don't add up. Probably will see something more like a tiered approach where you can get...
125 miles for $30K
200 miles for $40K
Resale on the Leafs are already getting killed due to tax incentives.
My leaf was MSRP $31K. I'm leasing for $260/month for 24 months w/ 0 down w/ 24K miles allowed. It has a buy out price of $14,500.
While that makes sense, the claim of the article is that car prices are rising relative to household income -- in other words, it implies that the average new car used to be affordable, that it now is no longer so, and that it's continuing to become increasingly unaffordable.
Actually, car prices have been increasing at a MUCH lower rate than inflation or other costs due to automation of factories, better designs, electronics prices dropping, etc.
For example:
In 1996 I bought a NEW Honda Accord for $22,500
In 2015 you can buy a much better equipped Honda Accord for around $25,000
That's a 10% increase over 19 yrs! It's actually a decrease in price if you consider what you're getting for the cost (i.e. much more HP, MPG, safety, etc)
For reference...in that same time period, movie ticket prices have doubled, gas prices have tripled, housing prices have doubled.
even if you do advocate killing artists with kalashnikovs, how many artists really carry kalashnikovs?!
The solution of this problem is trivial and is left as an exercise for the reader.
