@darkanhell you ever stop to think that the church you went to and the people that went door to door were different religions? Or that even if you happened to go to the right church, the response was similar to how people treat those door to door people?
@bluedogs the reason people have such a problem with it is A) religion is a HUGE part of a lot of people's lives. Probably to a much larger extent than is healthy for many. So when you basically call somebody an idiot for believing something (not to mention the fact that millions of others also believe it and the fact that you can't prove it) of course they are gonna get upset about it. And B) the way that its usually said. Its never a joke about just not believing in God, its always "Haha look at how ridiculously stupid this person is for believing in God. Haha, they so dumb. I'm much smarter than them." When you come off as a pretentious douche, people aren't gonna like what you say, no matter what it is you said.

long as there is another secluded area for all the pretentious atheist douches.

Was just to distract the bitch from yelling at the guy. Standing up for him wouldn't have worked, she'd have expected it and would then be ranting and raving at 2 people. What she did however, completely caught the other girl off guard which allowed the guy to get away.
Anyway, doubt its actually real. A guy probably posted it and said he was a girl so he didn't get called sexist and everything else

Speaking of, I actually did fire a guy just recently for this. As the post put it, he STOLE $800 from me.

calculate how much it would cost to hire somebody else to do it for you. You might use some engineering to make sure your design is feasible. Physics and Chemistry, you might need to use it to make sure that billboard design you made will actually stay up and not fall down. Or that wind or rain or snow won't overload it and break it. Or make sure the paint you are using won't be affected by weather or other stuff that might come into contact with it. Every technical aspect you can figure out and do yourself, is either going to save you money, make you more money, or make things easier for you. It makes you more marketable, if I'm looking at 2 people and 1 of em can do a whole lot more for me so I don't have to hire others later, I'm much more inclined to hire that person instead, AND pay them more for it.

Pushing different classes to make kids more "well rounded" is a completely different subject from pushing kids that they HAVE to go to college. In fact, its kinda counter to the argument made in the post. By forcing different subjects on the kids, it makes them 1) learn at least a little bit about it 2) lets them see if thats something they'd want to go into later rather than just letting them think they know what it is and that they dont like it (kinda like forcing kids to eat a new food before saying they dont like it) This would be helping them "explore their options" instead of letting them figure it out. 3) Just about every subject has potential to make use of every other subject. I can't think of a single job that literally only uses 1 subject. Graphic designer for example, you still need math to figure out how to stay profitable, how to calculate your costs, etc. You might need to use some calculus to figure out as kiki said curvature, etc. If you cant, you'll have to calculate

Harry actually DID do better at the DADA OWLs too didnt he? Been a while but if I remember right he got an O and she got a....next step down letter, E?
Anyway, I still wouldn't say that makes him "the strongest wizard alive at the time" He was really good in 1 subject, and barely avg maybe slightly above in all the other subjects. Whereas Hermione was a bad ass in every subject. I'd take her on my side any day of the week instead of Harry

Well, when you make an album and it sells really well and everybody around you is constantly telling you how you are gonna win and how amazing it is (whether they actually believe it or not, I'm sure tons of people told her that) it kinda builds up your expectations. Course shes gonna react when she loses. Did she make a big deal about it afterwards? Course not, because shes better than that

Couldn't they just keep up a permanent shield aura? Or carry some sort of charmed item for the same effect ie. the invisible hat thing the Weasley Bros sell but deflects all projectiles around the wearer. Sure a complete ambush would work 1 time, but then after that the wizards would have learned to keep that up at all times and marines would be useless

technically they both are on and off throughout your life until they stop completely

Company money is taxed at some point anyway, whether its when they pay employees, when the owner takes it out themselves, or when they pay stockholders, its gonna get taxed. When the corporation pays taxes too, its called double taxed.

Few statistical numbers for you, the top 1% (the super rich) account for over 1/5 of the federal taxes. The top 20% (the fairly rich - super rich) account for almost 70%. The top 40% (Almost anybody making above average) account for over 85%.
That means that the entire bottom 60% of the population, pay only 15% of the federal tax dollars. Almost half the population is entirely refunded and pays ZERO federal taxes. You know whos paying for those people instead? The rich. When you say the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes, you are absolutely right. THEY PAY TOO DAM MUCH to compensate for half the population that doesn't have to pay any or next to none.

10 million, thats good enough right? I mean who couldn't live off of 10 million dollars? But think about this. You won 100 to begin with, you spent 10 million of it in your lifetime, and your son spent 10 million of it (lets say he wasn't as prudent as you and blows through it all) That means, of that 100 million dollars, your family actually got to receive and spend 20 million of it. 20% went to you, and 80% was taxed in one way or another at some point in time. The amount of taxes in dollars YOU alone paid, were equal to what thousands of others paid in taxes (if they paid any and weren't refunded all of it for being too low of an income).
And yes, there are ways around that 80% tax rate from above (donating to charity, forming trusts rather than inheritances, etc.) Its just to prove a point that the "rich" are paying more than their fair share in taxes.

Well like you said yourself, the rich inherited their money. That means they already owned it, why should that be taxed? Lets say you are in the bottom 0.001% of the population have pretty much nothing, and then you win the lotto and win 100 million bucks. You take the lump sum so its now ~70 million. Thats gonna get taxed extremely heavily so now you are down to maybe 30 million that you actually receive. Well since you were so poor before, you spend a decent amount of it on yourself/family, but aren't used to having money so you save most of it and by the time you die you still have 20 million dollars (spent 10 million). Now you decide to leave all you have left to your only son, so he inherits that 20 million dollars. Thats already taxed money (you paid 40 million in taxes already when you first got it) so he should get all 20 million right? Well he would....except theres estate taxes and inheritance taxes, so he wont be getting 20, by the time all thats over he might get 10.

years of doing it one way, its DECADES of doing it one way, and then instead of just a slight layout change, its something that completely and utterly changes the way everything works. Ya, I'm sure you would have no problem whatsoever with that change........

Ya that might fit a few others better (college senior), but its still appropriate for scumbag steve too.

Gonna guess the sign was left up a while, the person that stole it was probably a kid from the neighborhood.....PRETTY likely they'd see the sign/get told of it eventually

Same as on windows of houses for firefighters.

http://gizmodo.com/5910773/how-common-is-your-birthday tl;dr people like to do it more when its cold and they don't wanna go outside. Lots of Jul-Oct births

The odds of somebody having the same bday as you would just be the 365 (or 365.25 if you want the leap year too) You wouldn't factor in the odds of your own bday. Thats also assuming an equal number of people are born every day, which isn't quite true, some days are much more popular than others. Its also not taking into account the odds that one of those people with your same bday would happen to be at the same place as you AND happen to know its your bday.

ya its nowhere near 1 in 12, maybe 1 in 12 will have the same birth month as you, but day I can 100% guarantee is false.

American grows up in America turns out good: Musta been despite all the evil American influences.
Canadian grows up in America turns out good: Musta been because of his Canadian roots.
American grows up in Canada turns out good: Well Canada was just a good influence on him.
American grows up in Canada turns out bad: Well it musta just been because he's American.
Sick of all this Anti-America crap

Would just like to point out it wasn't a guest acting like a jackass in these comments. Guess some of you special blue names aren't all better than our black ones huh! :P

Yes, SHE is overreacting that the guy, who admits he lies to her, won't give her ANY sort of answer regarding their relationship. Not even a half ass answer such as "Well maybe someday in the future" You know, something that leaves it completely open to whether that means next week or 10 years or never.
The guy sounded like a fucking tool and the only reason I can see to call the girl dumb is for not realizing how much of a tool he is faster.
