those countries you mentioned propped up a government that starved its people and squandered their nation ' s wealth on their personal lives . say what you will about how they ' ve spent their money since , but at least their leaders don ' t live in a lap of luxury while their people die .

this reminds me of a joke : seth was in an apartment with a beautiful woman . " take off my shoes , " she demanded . seth obeyed . " now , take off my dress , " she said . again , seth was glad to comply . " now , take off my stockings… my garter belt… my panties . " seth obeyed without saying a word . " now , take off my bra , " snapped the woman , " and don ' t let me ever catch you wearing my clothes again ! "

i wonder how many people that say they have no respect for addicts drink a coffee every day , drink every weekend , smoke every day , or have that food they just can not do without . addiction happens the same for everyone , you do it a number of times and either your body starts needing it or you develop a habit . the only difference with drug addicts is they were unfortunate enough to develop that with something that is far more dangerous . no one ever intends to end up there with extremely few exceptions

it may just be me . but if i am giving something away , i will do it my way . it just seems greedy to complain at all , about time it was up , or anything when it comes to getting free stuff . this reddit is great . a community of giving is great . but for anyone to complain about not getting free stuff is greedy . i gave away some coupons earlier , but should i ever be giving away a good game or something , and i am going to be looked at negativly for not following some time limit rule , then i will give it away on another sub , and not hear complaining about something stupid such as time it was up . be greatful something is being given away at all , and let that person give it away when the deem it appropriate .

haha , oh dear , i do get frustrated ; * every - time * a thread comes up about dubai , the same old misconceptions get trotted out , and any attempts to dispel them get shouted down with shit like " nice try dubai public relations board . " . . . i ' m happy to engage guys like timotheophany above that actually came here and has an opinion of his own , but it seems the majority are happy to have urban legends bandied about masquerading as fact and repeating the same old tabloid bollocks about that couple who were " jailed for kissing " . it ' s a pointless battle i know , but it ' s one of the few desicussions i feel i can contribute first hand experience to . ah well . happy new year !

what programs written for 2 . 5 broke on 2 . 6 or 2 . 7 ? python gives you the ability to control your ` sys . path ` , thus it gives you the ability to import the version of a package you desire , either manually or automatically with a version resolving loader . it does not preclude you from writing a util module such as import loader loader . load _ module ( ' simplejson as json & gt ; = 1 . 4 . 5 ' ) see the import hooks http : / / www . python . org / dev / peps / pep - 0302 / - - - - http : / / en . wikipedia . org / wiki / straw _ man

i take the same view that she has on the situation . affirmative action , or any other kind of " making it easier for someone to get into school " is completely unfair . it prevents our best talent from making it into the best programs , and those you were let in because of x - reason are viewed as being inferior . it ' s sickening , but let ' s be honest how many times have you heard " he just got in because he ' s [ insert ethnicity / race here ] . furthermore , some people extend it to think that anyone of [ insert ethnicity / race here ] who is in college is inferior when in fact there are many very talented people who deserve to get in who just happen to be [ insert ethnicity / race here ] .

it depends what country you are playing in . the european teams have professional leagues that pay their athletes to play . depending how good you are you can make 15 , 000 - 20 , 000 euros per season . the men make much more . . . and in other countries you get monthly athlete assistance , or government funding . this funding isn ' t that much . but it ' s enough to live a decent life , especially for playing a sport .

[ this ] ( http : / / boudicabpi . wordpress . com / 2009 / 06 / 16 / sarah - palin - michelle - obama - and - evolution / ) should point out the difference between a conservative and a liberal , and how its not racist for a conservative , but for a liberal what they believe , and if you tell a liberal what they believe , a liberal will call you a racist .

good plan . and remember , a good vet should be openminded about things . if they say " science diet ( or whatever ) is the only option you should ever consider . " or they can ' t be bothered to make time to have a good conversation with you , then find a different vet . not every vet is the same , some are in it because they truly love the animals and others seem to just like the pay check . if you feel your vet isn ' t providing your dog with the care you expect , don ' t feel bad about switching .

my mom also lacks a social filter for my business . she sees nothing wrong with sharing my life with complete strangers . i suspect it ' s because she ' s missing the line that clearly defines her and me . for example : i was in my mid - 20 ' s and had recently been diagnosed with endometriosis . it was a big deal to me , so my mom immediately starting thinking that maybe she had it , too . ( this is a common habit of hers and still continues to this day . ) we were standing in line for something when a teenaged girl in front of us complains to her mom that she had cramps and wanted to go back to the car . my mom ' s bat hearing kicks in , hears this , then loudly announces that her daughter ( me ) has endometriosis , too ( the girl didn ' t say that ) and that her daughter gets really bad cramps . erg . the girl is stricken with embarrassment . you would think the mother would be as well , but apparently my mom stumbled across a kindred spirit . the two of them start loudly discussing their respective daughters ' menstrual histories . fuck . me .

& gt ; my brother knows guys in the air force that got married out of basic , and their marriages didn ' t even last a year . marriage in the military has special considerations which is not comparable to civilian life . for example : * military guys know that girls will not wait for them so they tend to try to get married quicker * knowing you have someone to come home to helps keep your priorities in order * the military grants special benefits for married personnel , including the ability to live off of base , extra pay , and less duty time don ' t get me wrong , i ' m not justifying veterans defiling the sanctity of marriage . i ' m just pointing out that your example has extenuating circumstances .

are you going to show your dedication to the whisky of the year by naming your daughter lagavulin ? maybe just " peat " as the middle name ?

i don ' t like the attempts to vindicate atheism by saying " nah , just communism . " whether or not the government controls the economy is largely irrelevant to whether it enforces a given religious viewpoint by force . it would be possible to have a theocratic communist state , or a capitalist or corporatist state advancing atheism through force . what matters here is that stalin , inheriting the political legacy of marx , used state violence to advance atheism because he believed ( or at the very least pretended to believe ) atheism to be correct and preferable as a religious viewpoint . my response to the op , again , is that * * we should concede that it is possible to commit atrocities out of a belief in the merits of atheism , but argue that religion - in so far as it posits the existence of a judgemental deity and an eternal soul - makes it * easier * to justify atrocities by ' raising the stakes ' . * * that is to say , it is easier to justify the massacre of thousands on the basis that fewer souls will be tormented for eternity than to justify the same on the basis of concrete policy rationale . the argument that stalin wasn ' t really concerned with atheism , but rather with personal power or ' communism as opposed to atheism ' is what strikes me as dishonest and evasive , not the argument that atheism is less detrimental in general . regarding the fallacy of division , i am * not * saying that stalin did all the bad stuff he did for the sake of spreading atheism . no , he did not wake up and say , " hey , let ' s starve some ukrainians today . . . for atheism ! ! ! " but the * * specific persecution of religious institutions and individuals was carried out to advance state atheism . * *

trust me i could write an 18 page paper on how public schooling in particular does a bad job with smart students . ( funny because i did for my master ' s degree . ) we focus alllllllll of our attention on low performing students all year long because well , our school gets a letter grade at the end of the year . and if you don ' t get these kids to perform , then we are screwed . ( i teach at a low income inner city type school . ) i make a concerted effort every single day to challenge my more talented students . some teachers don ' t , and they suck . i don ' t suck . tl ; dr - some teachers are bad , some teachers are awesome .
