If they were pretty, they probably wouldn't need the ego-boost they get from beauty pageants.

Well, $100 is a little exaggerated, at least in my area. I think we're paying around $40/month for basic cable, if you exclude the cost of internet service.

For Netflix, you've gotta include the cost of internet service if you use streaming. So that's ~$40 for internet + $23 for 2 Blurays & Streaming.

So when you look at it that way, it's $63/month for Netflix vs. $40/month for cable.

Of course, most of the stuff on cable is crap so Netflix's quality makes up for the higher cost I suppose.

Actually, while this may not apply to all cable providers, Time Warner's DVR service lets you pause and rewind live TV. They also have a "Start From the Beginning" option in case you don't get to your TV 'til the show is almost over. It's pretty handy, really. Though obviously it's no comparison to Netflix price-wise.

Au contraire, A.L.F. took the basic formula of Mork & Mindy and improved it several times over.

I hear the Greeks have set up their own team and called it Hieronymus.

I'd argue that satire *is* serious discussion and constructive contribution. When Johnathan Swift made his "Modest Proposal", he not only pointed out the biggest problem-causers of the Irish economy at the time, but he also presented a number of actual, achievable solutions in contrary to the famous "the rich should eat the poor's children" solution. In other words, while satire is, at face value, generally a crude and offensive joke, the there is often an underlying message which is very real and poignant.

Keep in mind that the name is atheism, not antitheism. Thus, atheists are not opposed to religion, they are without religion.

Agnostics, on the other hand, are unconvinced in either direction. If religion did not exist, there would be nothing for them to be unconvinced about. Thus, without religion, there would be only atheists.
