As an aside the smarter someone is (or at least the higher a degree they get/further they advance in a professional field) the fewer children they have on average. Well, if someone's education level always corresponded to his intelligence, then that might be true...in practice, all it means is all ...

Please tell me this is wrong...
Because, if not, I'll have to downgrade my opinion of England a few notches...

Seafort: I understand that, from your point of view, Hillary is in fact right-wing....but frankly, from the British point of view, every single politician in America is right-wing. But, at the same time, from the American point of view, most British politicians are so loony left-wing it's not even f...

You know, all this reminds me of a bit of wisdom I heard once; if you go far enough one direction politically, eventually you come out on the other side. Apparently Coulter has now gone so far right-wing that she's met up with Hillary on the other side; fine with me... if she wants Hillary, she's we...
Doesn't really explain why they tried to kidnap Geordie. They could have just said thanks and went on their way. Or simply asked to be taken home. Well, perhaps the Pakleds had previously been Space pirates, with the Smart Person using his Prodigous Intellect (TM) to trick people into getting bette...

Ah, well... time to start Retconing, then! Actually, all Klingon knives are naturally constructed out of Beridiumite Ladernum Alloy, which is natural subspace conductur that automatically cloaks it from all passive sensor scans. Or maybe since the knives are so ceremonially important to Klingons, Si...
Theory: The Pakled race consists of large numbers of Type A Pakleds (we'll call them Morons for the sake of conciseness), and a very few Type B, smart Pakleds (we'll call them Smart People), who design all the technology for the Morons to build. Each Pakled ship consists of numerous Morons and one S...

If it comes down to Hillary v. McCain, I think McCain would have a pretty good chance of beating her...because, once she's nominated, every single Hillary-hating Democrat and Republican is going to be absolutely desperate to stop her; and since McCain is already pretty popular with the moderate crow...

McCain wins Florida and 57 delegates in the winner-take-all battle there...not bad at all considering just a little while ago he was trailing Mitt Romney in most polls. On the Democratic side, Clinton wins handily, though since the state has been stripped of all its delegates by the DNC, it's hard t...

So, basically, we both agree that (1) Belief and ideology always have an effect on decision-making, and (2) a strict Separation of Church and State is thus highly improbable, if not impossible. What we disagree on is whether or not such a Separation would be desirable; I believe firmly it would not,...
