When I first looked at the government payscale, the 8% cost of living adjustment listed for New York seemed ridiculous - rents are at least twice as high as any other place I've lived. But yesterday, while wandering around aimlessly, I was able to pick up Ball Four, After Henry, The Robber Bride, Best American Essays (College Edition), and Granta (#35) for $3.60
I'm having that same problem right now, Anthony. And When I hit "Create New Article" I get a message saying "You are not authorized to access this page."
I doubt that if MLK was in todays world that all he would do is get online and complain . . . People who hide behind nicknames and post on websites that are funded by somebody else can no way be put in the same terms as people like MLK. Jess already mentioned this, but how do you know that these
You're right. I don't get it. Especially in the case of Martin Luther King, who spoke out agaisnt those who were taking (radical) action, doing more than just speaking, and trying to change people's attitudes. This isn't to say that he didn't advocate any action, but his impact came from the advocation, and not the action What did Martin Luther King do? He spoke out agaisnt (whined about?) R
Were those who spoke out agaisnt genocide in Rwanda, Cambodia, Germany, etc. lamers? What about the people who have spoken about agaisnt the actions of PFC England in Iraq? How about Ghandi? Martin Luther King? Hard problems can't be solved by just one person working alone. What can you do to get people to work with you, besides speak (whine)?
There are doors here that are labeled "NOT AN EMERGENCY EXIT", in three inch tall red block letters but graffiti is removed within hours of its appearance; there are doors labeled "EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY" (thought, few of them actually are), and there are unlabeled, non-emergency, exits; death and madness lie on both sides; some of the doors aren't exits (though mo
I talked to yet another government recruiter last week. They always say the government has a shortage of engineers, which means that they're doing everything they can to hire the best engineers. They're lying. They talk about fat pensions, strict forty-hour work weeks, and complete job security, but those inducements only attract slackers - those thi
Unlike him, I don't think that slave morality is the inevitable result of christianity. http://www.underthesun.cc/Classics/Milton/aeropagitica/aeropagitica6.html
I've always wondered about this type of operation. What happens to the flesh whose blood is suppled by those veins? Do new, non-vericose, veins grow in? Or is that flesh just permanently deprived of blood? Anyways, good luck with your recovery. I hope it all goes well.
While I was working out in the great basin, I overheard some Christians talking about a professor of theirs. They were going on about what a great professor he was, how nice he was, how understanding he was, and so on and so forth. One of them mentioned that the professor is an atheist. Dead silence followed. They were shocked (shocked!) that anyone so nice coul
The last time the powerball was over two hundred million, people here waited in line for hours to get tickets. Other came in from out of state to "play". Even if it is assumed that these people make minimum wage, the cost/payoff ratio is worse than that of normal powerball ticket. Who are these people that come crawling out of the woodwork when lotte
I agree, but I'll try to come up with a counterargument anyway. Then let me ask this, what real world power would you prefer be in the US's position? China? Russia? France? Germany? Japan? UK? In some cases, the world (or parts of it) already got a taste of what that would be like to have one of them in the domina
Since I’m a computer geek (an engineer, no less) I’m not much of a writer. That’s my excuse, anyway. As a child, making hen scratchings on processed wood pulp using a wooden stick seemed bizarre to me; almost cannibalistic. I was a conscientious objector. A product of the American education system, I had no writing classes past middle school and managed to avoid
It’s over. The statute of limitations expires today. In the beginning it was just another quarrel involving a circuit court judge, two kissing cousins, my great uncle, the unbearable lightness of being, and a Selectric: nothing out of the ordinary. We were young and stupid; we-can’t-let-them-get-away-with-this expressions of outrage led to an elaborate plan invo
