I saw a third party documentary that said the Pyramids were constructed by aliens...

At 1600 calories a day I would struggle to walk across the room to pick up the remote. No thanks, I might be chubby, but I can still bench press more than I weigh and run 3 miles without falling over. I can't imagine why someone would choose to be emaciated...

If that were true the exercise would be bad for you...

Well, which is it?

The vast majority of avid readers I know love eBooks. Most of the luddites who drone on and on about the feel, smell, whatever, of physical books can't even tell you a book they've read in the past 6 months...

Not true. Other factors come in to play, did someone quickly pull into a lane in front of faster moving traffic while simultaneously decelerating? Was it dark outside and the car in front had broken tail lights? The idea that if someone rear ends a car they are always at fault is a myth.

Most of the recent articles I've read have said there's not even any consensus that CCD is a real thing. Oh well, we all know that the warmists will latch onto pretty much anything...

So you're saying that rate against gains is 100%? Not even France has rates where $1k in deductions reduces your tax liability by $1k.

I see this argument all the time about charitable contributions. "Yeah, sure he gave a million bucks, but it's just a tax write off..."

In what world are tax deductions 1 to 1 with tax liability? That's certainly not how the math ever works out on my taxes. $5k in deductions saves me less than $1k in taxes.

I'm not saying that the parent was right and that taxing services is enough incentive to hire your own people, but the idea that if you can write something off on your taxes means it's "free" is simply silly...

My librarian wife and I are both pretty avid readers and we both use e-readers for vast majority of our reading. Inevitably someone will see us in the doctor office waiting room or some other place reading our ebooks and tell us how they prefer "real books". That's when I like to ask them what the last book they read was and chuckle to myself when they get that deer in the headlights look.

1000 times this. In elementary schools boys are removed from the classroom at alarming rates for things like bringing the one ring to school, wearing an american flag t-shirt, eating pop tarts into the shape of a gun, pointing grilled cheese sandwiches etc. When boys act like boys their parents are told they need to be drugged into compliance. Elementary school classroom and teaching methods are tailor made for girls. Any gender bias in the classroom is certainly not "pro-boy".

Interesting how Obama, Paul, and Christie have the same position yet they are represented so differently in the article (unless of course I'm missing where Obama has suggested making immunizations required by law somewhere.)

Imagine the 2 largest cities in a state had 51% of the population. Those cities could and most likely would come together and simply siphon resources from the rural areas. They can just funnel all the funding for schools, police, roads to their cities to buy local votes and ignore everyone else.

At the national level the same can be said of states. In your scenerio all the people in the red area on this map wouldn't have a voice in government at all. http://politicalmaps.org/wp-co...

If not then why would Amazon being paying any taxes? Of course I'm under the assumption Amazon still hasn't made any money, if that's changed then I must have missed it...

The US government sitting on knowledge of vulnerabilities is to public safety as not putting out a wet floor sign in the hopes that a terrorist will slip and fall is to crime prevention.
