It's a bullshit name anyway... It's not a 'luxury car tax' it's a 'car over $50,000 tax'. "OH SO U WANT TO GIVE A TAX CUT TO PEOPLE BUYING FERRARI'S????" not necessarily... set the tax increase at $180,000 or so if you want to tax people that are buying the real luxury cars. While we're at it...

there are no talented people in state politics.

Yeah his speech was boring. TBH that he changed so much in order to be president is somewhat good to hear for more independent people.

oh yeah new government woo woo. Oh wait it's still a bunch of labor party hacks that had their chance? Fuck off.

I don't know I think I'd need to see some studies on it. It is possible that the HSC does not prepare you at all for university and thus is of little / nil effect.

I don't think the scientific method can be used to prove that for instance reindeer can't fly magically. What it can do however is invalidate/validate many of the positive claims for the existence of the being/whatever. If BradCube could give me a positive claim such as "Prayer works" I feel I...

If your point is merely that there's "no difference" then I somewhat agree. If you then go on from this to claim they're "not really atheists" I disagree because if the implication is that since I don't really believe I can know for CERTAIN Santa doesn't exist somewhere in the universe, that...

I'll use science when someone wants to make a scientific argument for the existence of god, I won't just say "no, God can't exist within science" I will try to explain to them the reason why their theory is mistaken. For example if someone wants to claim that the earth is only 6000 years old in...

I don't just use scientific premises I also use philosophical ideas... TBH I think the best arguments I've heard/promote are against belief in god based on the person's own theory of knowledge.

Because in claiming to be agnostic they are merely claiming to not have full knowledge. It's a philosophical position which leaves me also saying that ultimately I'm a Santa Claus agnostic. If you think this makes me any less of a non-believer in Santa Claus than someone who says "Santa Claus...

NAH U JUST WANT TO, I WANTED TO TOO BUT IT JUST ISNT GOOD :(

Yeah I don't like it... tbh... maybe if I listen enough I will... but tbh it's just... idk. :(

I'm assuming that people don't vote for the most part on the issues. Really, what's wrong with Palin? She gave as strong a speech as I've seen given, she's been able to govern a (albeit rather small) state and her party seem very happy with her.

No I don't. Women do have different views but a strong woman is likely to rally women, I don't see the problem.

But would you agree that it's right to think a black person might get black people to vote for them? If so then what's so sexist about assuming women might vote for a woman? There's nothing irrational about wanting someone who's more likely to represent your unique experience or at the very...

Male:Female ratio in course is probably the most important.

You need a strong symbol.

haha yeah I've always thought a good response regarding the prospect of mccain's death is to point out that his mother has been out there stumping with him at around 100 years old.

Nah, that's not it you indignant jerk. It's more because he promised to (here we go) "rebuild our military to meet future conflicts, restore our moral standing, end the war in iraq, renew tough direct diplomacy, cut taxes, build new partnerships to defeat the threats of the 21st century...

Eh? Obama would have owned the media if it was two boring white guys vs him. TBH It's not necessarily that bad. While it does seem to weaken their experience argument, it also opens the democrats up to hypocrisy if they attempt to call her inexperienced.
