What about converts to a religion? If someone were to convert to Pastafarianism, does that mean we can continue to forbid them from wearing their colander, just because they were not raised as a Pastafarian?

Correct. And it is not my responsibility to teach the police the made-up language I used when writing on that paper.

Not saying it's right, but prosecuting a UK citizen for what they said on Twitter is not saying that Twitter is within UK jurisdiction, it is saying that regardless of where a UK citizen is, the UK citizen is within UK jurisdiction.

Now, when the UK government demands that Twitter do something about the offending post, that is them claiming that Twitter is within UK jurisdiction.

.....WHY??? Sure, it might be unnecessary if no one is sitting there, but what possible benefit is conferred by disabling an airbag?

If you're gonna be rude, you might want to check your facts first. Amazon Prime for students is $49 per year.

But perhaps NotDrWho simply mistyped the price. I hope not though. I was hoping to learn about other alternatives to Amazon Prime.

Since TFS is about Amazon, one would expect that the unnamed company you are referring to there would be Amazon. But since Amazon Prime is $99, I have to ask, what other company are you talking about?

Um, killing innocent people is worse than imprisoning innocent people. Don't get me wrong, imprisoning innocent people is wrong, and I support the idea that it is better for 1000 guilty men to go free than it is to imprison a single innocent. But to say that the killing of innocents is equally as bad as the imprisoning of innocents implies that, if someone were to ask you to choose either life in prison or execution for yourself, you would respond with something like "I don't care, flip a coin, they're both equally undesirable".

Is it? I don't actually know, which is why I am asking the question. Can "locked in" people feel the pain associated with not breathing?

The only thing that sign will do is make burglars nostalgic for The Far Side.

While I agree that what happened is wrong, basing ones argument on religious reasons will never work. Because seven simple words will completely deconstruct your argument.

"My religion does not have that concept."

Since what tastes good varies between people, I think the results of any such study would merely be able to conclude that they taste different, not that one tastes better than the other.

I had a similar experience the first time I tried organic milk. I didn't know it wasn't the normal milk I usually drink, but I did notice that it tasted different. Not bad different, but not good different either, just.. different. It wasn't until several weeks later that I actually started to have a preference, but that preference is not static. Some days I prefer the organic stuff, some days the regular stuff.

As I understand it, Overrated/Underrated give no specific label. So someone who starts at 0, with one Troll mod and 6 Underrated mods, would appear as +5 Troll.

That is assuming that the second/third wave colonists are even capable of stopping along the way to pick up the first wave. And that they are capable of pinpointing the first wave's exact location.

You could always pull out the Knife of Exact Zero and make some cuts to the piece.

By the way, what's a wedge shaped wing ramp?

Under the current laws, yes. Because if you allow an exception for one amendment without going through the proper procedure to change the constitution, you have just created a loophole that can be used to circumvent any amendment.

I see the need for some limits too. I just don't see the need to circumvent the constitution to implement those limits. If it is dangerous enough, surely there will be enough support in the various government bodies to follow the proper procedures that are in place for amending the constitution.
