Especially as westerners intermix more with easterners because, you know, Asian chicks are just HOT.

Yes, that's what I said. 3 stars for reading comprehension. Per mile is a crap stat, IMHO. Consider that NASA's space program has a fantastic safety record when measured per mile. Yet, they also have a 6% astronaut death rate, which is not so good.

I'm waiting until we all have flying cars. They're bound to be safer because flying is much safer, right? Right? And then Hertz-AirCar rental gets sued for racial profiling...

From that exact Wikipedia article, you can see the airlines FUD. Of course the airlines want you to believe that planes are safer than cars - but only measured by distance. And planes can travel ~8 times faster than cars and have large, enforced distances between them, less people transported per year, etc., so they should be safer, right?

However, the deaths by journey stats show that you are 3 times MORE likely to die in a plane than in a car. That is, if you take 1000 car journeys and 1000 plane journeys, you are much more likely to die in the plane.

However, if you ride a motorbike, please carry an organ donor card so that some benefit can be had by others from your death wish.

So it's time to ban advertising as it is clearly helping to fund criminal activities.

Eh? Experian, for example, has operations in more than 65 countries. Experian PLC's corporate headquarters is in Ireland (tax dodge, anybody?). So your myopic viewpoint is completely wrong - many countries have significant credit rating operations in place.

The bible is NOT, I repeat, NOT the word of God. It was authored by men and men alone. You might have even heard of a few of them, lik Mathew, Mark, Luke and others. They may describe acts attributed to a god but other than that it's all man.

I don't think people, overall, are that smart. the world seems to be run by 'the people of walmart'.

Well, d'uh on the smart bit. If by being "smart" you mean "above average" , well then by definition most people are not smart. Always. If everybody was magically gifted an extra 30 IQ point over night, then guess what, most people would still not be smart because they still would not be above average. You see how that works?

Your igorant slur on "Walmart people" always covers some pretty smart and wealthy people. I'm guessing you are one of the below average people.

Stupid argument. Attorneys are allowed to be biased in favour of their customers' interests. Judges should be impartial. You do know that there is a difference between an attorney and a judge?

Maybe because he realises that your accomplishments don't require your toilet to function 24/7 with 99.999% uptime? Don't be afraid to take a crap in the woods on occasion.

Seriously? Literal net? You've never heard of sarcasm? Oh wait, I get it, you're being 'meta'-sarcastic. OK, got it.

"decently attractive layout"

Seriously? I mean, seriously??

AC never said that they put it out there themselves! They could easily have been tagged by another in a compromising picture that they did not upload or have had embarrassing messages left on their wall. Friend me and I'll show you how embarrassing it can get... ;-)

A news search engine that knows my browsing history would be terrible. I would only ever get news articles about asian porn!

I work at Traqer.com where we have successfully developed and deployed Flash based applications for our clients. Backed by (our own) biz logic server and a database and you will get all the scalability you need. The client is the simplest of installs in the unusual case that a user didn't have Flash already installed on their machine. I cannot recommend Flash client UIs more highly!
