You'd still be an addict, just one who could never satisfy his cravings.
Yes, but eventually the cravings would be greatly reduced.
If I dropped a chain-smoker on a desert island for a year with everything they needed, but without any cigarettes, their first month would be hellish, but by the end of the year most of the nicotine cravings would be gone.
You'll have to define "common sense" for me. My understanding of it is incompatible with your description of it. Common sense is a groupthink. It's a moron-level competent man standard.
But how far does it extend?
Everyone in the developed world thinks it's common sense to provide healthcare to all of one's citizens. Not the USA - That's commie talk.
Everyone in the developed world thinks it's common sense to restrict access to firearms. Not the USA - That's Theft of Freedom.
So sure, it's common sense not to run over your foot with a lawnmower, but anything more complicated than that...
Can you think of any good targets?
Saudi Arabia - Sheiks, bankers. After all, they're the one pulling the strings of their 'jihadist' puppets.
Whatever happened to the great days of shareware?
The people making 'shareware' realized they had rent to pay and kids to feed.
Why do we keep putting people who have a history of being enemies of the scientific community to the scientific subcommittees in Congress?
"We" don't, the Republican Party does. They don't like pesky science - It keeps contradicting the bible.
I've walked through some of Saddam's old palaces, and the amount of money he probably wasted on that stuff while the rest of the country rotted is just staggering.
Yeah, but unlike Saddam I'd like to think we're not a bunch of assholes who would put an old video game ahead of the well-being of kids.
you should be measuring it in United States Coolness Units.
I live in Canada, you insensitive clod!
Also, in many cases, the HOA bylaws are not made available to you until closing.
That is bananas. Here in British Columbia you don't have HOAs, but when you buy a condo or townhouse you fall under the condo board's bylaws. It's perfectly reasonable to ask for them during the due diligence process (and in some cases they're publicly online for all to read, e.g. http://www.freesiavancouver.co... ).
You may be asked to cover the cost of photocopying them, but that's it.
Head to my nearest airport and observe what?
Did you RTFA?
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
