Huge study about safety can be misinterpreted by SUV drivers

Certainly more so than its three-letter competition that intentionally ignored
hideous tortures and abuses by the Saddam regime in Iraq in order to remain
close to said regime.

Anecdotal evidence is silly.......Unless you present it of course.

 

3. #2 is a theory, not proven. You and anybody else on your bandwagon tell us that
the earth is warming b/c of CO2 but you can't even try to tell us how much the
earth will warm per unit of CO2. C02 is causing the warming because it is.
4. It was warmer 1000 years ago.
5. The recent warming began before the CO2 begain to rise appreciably.
6. Send me some global warming, I've been freezing and it's not even winter yet.

 

In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority had to build a
rather expensive toilet for a transsexual employee.

"The $ 8,000 renovation of a former porter's closet at the T's Reservoir carhouse
in January created a separate shower stall, toilet and sink for the transsexual
worker, T officials said.

"(The renovation) was done because it's important to ensure a comfortable and
stress-free workplace for all employees and we felt the best course of action was
to provide a third restroom," said MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo."

As a consumer, I can positively say that Consumer Reports is not a main voice for
me, whether they consider themselves such or not.

 

After you can't make an actual coherent argument, you are left babbling with
personal attacks about IQs.

 

Only if you can actually disprove them with actual facts, which you certainly have
shown that you will not do.

You've never been bothered with citing left wing web sites, such as Sierra Club.

 

Everybody (of age) has the same right to marry somebody of the opposite sex.

 

Siblings cannot either. I don't see you pointing out the 'discrimination' here.

 

What does that have to do with the fact that your orignal statement is
simply not true?

Yet you prefer to live in the USA with its terrible healthcare. Amazing.

No, cheap prices thanks to various subsidies, past and present. Airbus is
actually remarkedly inefficient, they move huge airframe parts around at fantastic
expense to different countries for political reasons, not economic reasons. But
they would not exist at all if it hadn't been for past subsidies, and they get
enormous tax abatements and loan guarantees, just as their fellow subsidized ship
builder cousins. In addition to this, Airbus is getting massive state subsidies
to develope the A380. See Aviation Week & ST (ongoing).

Until they get the TAX bill. (oops you forgot that "the govt" doesn't pay for
anything, it just passes along the cash from the taxpayers...)

We can see autos in USA that get 50 mpg.

True, since the population centers are much closer together. High speed rail makes
sense in some portions of the USA, but for political reasons a lot of money has to
be spent where it doesn't, which is why it will never be widespread here, even
where it would be highly used.

 

This is no more responsive to the question than "Everybody (of age) has
the same right to marry somebody of their same race" was 50 years ago.

Call it a hunch, but I'd be willing to bet that had it been up to Lloyd,
the Taliban would still rule Afghanistan.

 

....your ability to come up with ridiculous examples not at all germane to
the topic.

But did they allow homogeneous couples to get married? (sorry -
couldn't resist the play on words)

Most behavioural scientists disagree with you -- this is the party line of
the Religious Reich types.

Unless you're prepared to say that being six-foot-four or blue of eye or
having a Roman nose only refers to one activities...?

Society grants certain privileges and rights and responsibilities to
married couples that are not granted to unmarried persons. Because it is
society (not God or an orange tree or a pair of blue jeans) from which
these rights and privileges flow, they are CIVIL rights. That's what
"civil" means.

The nature of marriage has been changed in Western society many times over
the last two thousand years. This is not a new phenomenon.

And the current question is whether there is, in fact, a compelling state
interest in barring same-sex marriages.
