    Copyrighted public space...

    A private landowner can't just have you arrested for walking through their property either. There has to be a request (stated or print) to not be on the owners property before it can be considered a criminal act. And yes, posted No Tresspassing signs count. So if I was to just walk...

    So you go out with this girl and end up getting her pregnant...

    Only partially correct. Ideally this is all true. Ideally, there is a cap that can be taken out of your weekly check to pay child support. But this is hardly an ideal world. I have seen fathers end up with a pay check for $0.00 after working upwards of 12 hours overtime. And yes...

    Is the consumption of alcohol a privilege or a right?

    You are, of course, correct. I might not of emphasized it enough, but I was refering to only affecting yourself. Such as seatbelt laws, and suicide (which, strangely enough is illegal... How do you prosecute someone who has killed themselves?). I do not inherrently condone suicide, or...

    Is the consumption of alcohol a privilege or a right?

    I would like to believe that a person has the right to do anything to themself. But, sadly, America does not work like that. Apparently, the only right I have is to live as someone else wants me to.

    I ****** hate sick people

    Like I others have said, missed time is held against you. Even if it is for a good reason. Add to that, the amount of sick time allotted to some places. Where I work we only get 16 hours (2 days) a year of sick and/or personal time. Yes, you can roll it over at the end of the year... But...

    An interesting thought about tipping..

    Because the tips are shared (or at least, were shared in the past) among all the employees of the retaurant. The cooks/chefs, waiters/waitresses, busboys, etc. Not an even split mind you, but still...

    The radiators on the second floor of my house are not getting hot

    KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid. I say that, so you know I am not trying to insult anyones intelligence here... Just starting from the simplest points. 1) Are there shut off valves to the individual raditotors? Are they open? (The house I had that had radiator heat had shut off valves at...

    ATOT Medical Crew needed

    My uncle was diagnosed with Class A Type C Hepatitis. My mother is worried sick, and has no idea what Type C Hepatitis is like. I would like to find some information online that she could read. I am currently doing searches, but not being a medical person, I am unfamiliar with good online...

    my philosophy professor told us something interesting today...

    I am sorry. But this desrves this. And for better pictures: Try here. By the way, this particular tranny is what got me thinking on the whole "what sex is s/he really?" I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

    my philosophy professor told us something interesting today...

    I am mildly surprised no one has asked yet... But... How do you classify a transgendered person? Is it their "prefered" sex? (The current one) Or is it their biological one? And more importantly... Will defining this issue lead to Big Brother-esque need to carry around ID that has...

    Does any woman look better with curly hair?

    Yes, it is possible for women to look better with curly hair. Sheryl Crow with curly Sheryl Crow with straight hair Of course, this does not mean she looks ugly with straight hair.... She just looks better with curly. At least to me.

    YACookingT: How do I cook simple vegetables and make them taste good without making them unhealthy?

    I would recommend useing lite soy sauce though. I find it tastes better, and there is a lot less salt. Ilmater, if steaming is not available to you, the other alternative (aside from roasting them like Kanalua suggest) would be to lightly fry them. Kind of like stir-fry style. I little...

    UPDATE 1/18/2006: How is this fair? My job wants me to carry a cell phone, but...

    You are both right. To an extent. First, there does not have to be any contractual agrements - other than verbal. Second, you do get the right to consent or not. It is called choosing to remain employed with them or not. Let me put it another way. If your supervisor came up to you...

    Audio selection...

    Let's try this: Your computer runs on a frequency: Usually Mhz. But you are not listening to it. (Well, maybe you are depending on your cooling, but that isn't what I mean. :P ) The sample rate has NOTHING to do with the output sound frequencies, other than maybe clarity and quality...

    Damnit... I've tried to stay out of this thread... I really have. But I have to speak out against this post. Valkyrie technically does not sell sex online. I am not saying that it never happens. But there really is a difference between an escort, and a prostitute. Understandably, many...

    Company/Legality question...

    I do not know about the State Labor laws where you live, but in New York there is no such thing as "equal treatment." Unless you can prove that the "un-equal treatment" is due to race, religion, age, handicap, etc., the company is free to do as they please. Regardless of "fairness." Had...

    Looks like the begining to Kung Fu Hustle.... And it isn't as entertaining either. But then again, it isn't my style of music, and I just woke up.... So I may just be cranky. :P
