The idea of airport surveillance is itself dangerous, since "profiling" is prohibited. Either do it the way El Al does it (obsessively complete inspection of all persons boarding an aircraft) or forget it. Half measures don&#x27

The lack of comfort people refer to usually involves the other passengers, not the amenities. But everyone knows you're not supposed to talk specifically about that aspect of public transportation.

It's odd, I suppose, but as a kid who grew up in America immersed in Hollywood movies ... we also recited movies to each other. I'm in my 50s and have a friend who has uncles and cousins in the Colombo family of the Mafia. We woul

My favorite Bible interpreters are all 19th century English, Scottish, and Irish writers. They all knew Greek and Hebrew, and some of them studied the ancient manuscripts themselves. Their writing is clear and cogent and their interpretatio

Most are based on organophosphates, which work basically by sending the nervous system into hyperdrive. They will kill a wide swath of animals (not just insects) if applied heavily enough. Some are deadlier to certain insects more than ot

You've missed the point: getting along with your peers is the most important thing. What is truth?

Yes, thank you. > the only interesting difference between English and Riau Indonesian for this sentence would be the fact that "taste" would (most likely) no longer be the same word in the two phrases. Which is I guess my point

How would this be translated into Riau? "Sorry, Charlie. Starkist doesn't want tuna with good taste, they want tuna that tastes good."

The roots for the modern word slay go very far back with a basic meaning of 'to strike' or 'to beat.' So shooting and bombing are definitely in that range, since they involve a bullet or shrapnel or a concussive force st

I think it has more to do with national security; i.e., not sharing our tech with other nation states that might use it against us. That used to be more of a thing a generation ago. For example, it used to be a crime to export certain comp

"Criminals or serious offenders" includes those whose crime was offending the government or other elites by merely saying something that they didn't like. Only a tiny subset of speech should be considered a crime, like yelli

Here's one you can submit, from the same file near the top in the ToC. It's missing two spaces after the header number. This line is sad because the lines above it and below it are able to stay lined up, but this line looks out

It's not uncharitable. It's documented fact. For example, Dr. Frank N.D. Buchman in fact did praise Adolf Hitler in a published interview [0], and did in fact meet with Himmler in Germany at the 1936 Olympics [1], and was close f

I was unclear, I guess. I do agree that Synanon is more extreme than AA, on the whole. But AA is still extreme and fringe, all by itself. I disagree that AA is a "movement with a spiritual basis." It's not. To quote Orang

You've misunderstood me. I'm saying AA itself is very extreme / fringe. I consider it to be a cult (and Orange makes a convincing argument for that position). AA doesn't always manifest as obviously as Synanon, but tha

Well, I guess that's what I'm getting at: is it really rational to assume that it's a zero-sum game? The history I've studied indicates it is not, at least until the totalitarians show up. But the antidote to totalitaria

The real problem is the part of the quote you left out, "even when it means questioning our own beliefs.” I don't meet many people these days who are willing to do that, and I suspect that a scary percentage of them aren't ca

That would not come into evidence as long as you have a minimally competent lawyer. The jury would never know.

Entertaining in much the same way as Veblen's commentary, though without as much hilariously and intentionally poorly-concealed contempt. Perhaps if the author wishes to continue to pursue this particular sort of Bildung, he will expan
