I usually identify myself as atheist because that doesn't require the explanations that the correct label of anti-theist would. I see an atheist as an agnostic who is sufficiently convinced that supernatural beings don't exist. I am also anti-theist because I think the belief in gods is inherently evil, harmful, corrupting, and otherwise a bad thing.

Just to put the discussion back on track, as an engineer I find communications to be my most difficult challenge. I hold meeting, issue reports, and make sure to talk privately with everyone involved in my projects. Despite a strong concerted effort I still find people under or miss informed. No amount of communication is too much, I'm not sure any amount is sufficient.

So the liberals let it happen while the conservatives support it? You tell me which is worse.

I took a networking course from IBM back in the 90's. The engineer leading the course described how the NSA was tapping the transatlantic optical fiber.

So who is going to want to fly anywhere on a plane crawling (literally) with babies and small children? Now that every Samoan can take 10-15 kids for the price of one adult you can be sure I'm never getting on one of their planes.

Convert it to methanol.

Fortunately (?), Libertarianism has never been tried.

Note she fired 6 times, hit him 5, and he ran off when she bluffed about having more ammunition.

"The state tells its people that the cameras are there for their benefit and to prevent crime, but the crime they are preventing is insurrection."

"First in Flight" is a bit north of here. Try "Smiling Faces. Beautiful Places."

No early voting in SC. Might cause an increase in Democratic votes.

Here in the South, if you just ask for "tea" you will get horribly over sweetened iced tea. You can ask for "unsweet" tea or hot tea. Hot tea is served unsweetened. If self serve dispensers are available it is common for those of reasonable taste to use sweet tea to sweeten their unsweet tea. Don't ask for it mixed though, counter monkeys don't do complicated.

No, his cooperation has no bearing on his guilt. If you call me a peacock and I ignore your ridiculous claim I don't magically become a peacock. Lack of defense isn't evidense of guilt, and evidense is what is entirely lacking in this case. It has been asserted that he doped, no evidence has been put forth.

If he was fired he wouldn't have the opportunity to remove his personal data, they would escort him off the property.

Try a HUGE spreadsheet. Do a filter and then copy/paste the results. Then learn how to program for real.

The artist has absolute control of distribution of his works. If he never publishes them then they will never be copied. Once he turns them lose into the world then they will be captured, copied and distributed to the ends of the earth. Don't like that, too bad. Some people don't like gravity either.
