ps: contraceptives, even when properly used, fail surprisingly often.

Perhaps mark taslov can present all his prospective female sex partners with a contract where they agree to carry to term any possible pregnancy under all circumstances unless he releases them from that obligation.
That should help safeguard his rights against the unwanted termination of his progeny.

do you think it is fine to break the law as long as the majority of the public agree ( or dont care).
How do you feel about the speed limit?

"borrowed Obama's colour scheme"
Actually, the thing that tickles me most about John McCain's website is that even now, the major headings are:
STRATEGY
GENERAL ELECTION
DECISION CENTER
GOLF GEARGolf gear. Heh.
Remind me which one is the "elitist?"

It is my habit to deploy the semicolon liberall; yea, even extensively; to allow it to channel my otherwise aimless prose between its hybrid banks of comma and stop. Yes, I'm a fan of semicolonic irrigation.

One of the things I noticed about Clydesdale's study is that the word "racism" only appears once.
It appears in a brief paragraph where he doubts that employers could be racist if it hurt the success of their business. The argument is not stated clearly enough for me to actually unpick it.
Clydesdale notices that there is a group of people who don't do as well in New Zealand, but he has no interest in finding out why. He (and Simon) don't seem to have ever heard of institutional racism.
Getting back to Simon:
If we supported too many people financially who were unable to repay us, or worse, who turned to crime thus making our standard of living worse, it would be a bad idea.
Yeah, it would, but that isn't really happening.
Pacific unemployment in NZ is apparently 5%. In other words, out of 20 potential labour force participants, 19 are busy working hard, paying tax and being "productive". And disproportionately, doing the shittiest, most dangerous work. Their taxes are paying your granny's super, while their labour swabs out her nursing home.

The haughty American nation makes the Negro clean its boots and then proves the moral and physical inferiority of the Negro by the fact he is a bootblack.

Pretty much my position too George, but one I reached at least 3 years ago.

Mmm, whale.
