Yeah- it may not be a real issue but my brain wont let me be less than very careful due to the financial investment.

you still kicking ass and taking names in northern Europe?

Others have pointed out that you are wrong concerning whether the violence is 'unprovoked'. I submit that you are also wrong in saying that the GP is trying to justify this behavior. He is not. He's predicting it. And explaining the genesis of it.

You sound like you've spent a lot of time thinking about this.

I looked around a bit and saw a few citations that back your assertion that "Parents of children born in the U.S. are not allowed to stay here just because their kid is a citizen" Do you know of any firm numbers? Say the number of births in the US with non-citizen parents? Of perhaps more interest to me would be the numbers of deportations of these parents. And are the children returning to the home country of the parent(s) or are they staying in the US and entering various foster care situations?

I submit your 'wide variety' is far less diverse than you imagine. Get out of your suburb.

You should be more circumspect about people who not only view Ayn Rand as a brilliant thinker, but a sex object as well.

If I had my way, I'd have all of them shot.

--Pink (or is that Alan Greenspan?)

Many who oppose homosexual behavior also oppose some of the items on your list, especially vasectomies and tubal ligation. Does the gender reassignment surgery really even need to be addressed in regards to this?

In fact, the only one of interest that you mentioned was intercourse with post-menopausal with. IIRC, this is usually explained as being more or less a gift to the couple for being in a union. There's a bit more to it, but you have to accept the postulation that marriage is a joining of man and woman under God.

I think it's called 'Slashdot Disease'. The symptoms are particular apparent whenever the topic of tablet computers comes up.

Funny. Years ago I thought I remember research that said the reverse. Can't find it though - Google seems crappier nowadays (you just get zillions of hits for the 2014 item).

Even reduce premature births: http://www.dentistrytoday.com/...

Generally periodontal disease seemed linked to higher heart disease: http://www.webmd.com/heart-dis...
So maybe the particular mouthwash used was bad?

"Death is wrong" is still stupid though. This is a nongeek/nerd article. Because any geek who knows his/her science knows what forever means AND thus logically won't want to live forever AND thus at a certain point Death is Right.

0) I doubt people are psychologically able and stable enough to _enjoy_ a mere billion years of existence. A thousand years, ten thousand years, maybe. But a billion? Now guess how long is forever. So many can barely tolerate a single day of no Internet access ;).
1) How many stars are going to last forever? What are you going to do when the last ones in your range die?
2) I doubt you want to live so long that this becomes very personally relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

When I posted a comment on this sort of thing before, someone basically said we all know what living forever means, you don't have to tell us. But this whole "death is wrong" story is evidence that not all of us do.

Lastly, "May you live forever" would be a pretty scary witchdoctor curse if it worked, maybe someone should write a sci-fi horror story... I'm a crap writer tho.

And union protection.
