Nobody forces anyone to buy a gasoline car, and CEOs naturally get paid so much because they do a hard job that few people want/can do. If I took on a job that so few people were qualified for, devoted most of my waking life to it, got paid millions annually so that I could do who knows what...

What's wrong with a big business making a big profit? If you have something against them, say that rather than get mad for them being successful.

I simply won't use the ignore list on virtue, a big purpose of discussions is to see what everybody believes and talk about it. If you're going to ignore one opinion, even if you find it horribly offensive, then you've missed the entire point of reading the whole thing. And very good points...

Glad to see that the social worker is facing action for this bullshit. Keep us informed!

Cursive is hard to judge on standardized testing.

My audiologist reccomended these to me as for replacing my phonak superos. Could anybody with any experience with these tell me about their experience with them and if possible a comparison with other fairly modern hearing aids? I have a mod-severe ski-slope loss.

It's audism you're talking about, and everybody else has summed it up. It's not likely to change as long as the Deaf are a relatively small and unnoticed group that nobody really knows about and has little incentive to. Most people can talk to the Deaf bagger at the supermarket well enough to...

While not technically wikipedia, wikibooks offers some rudimentary barebones language courses. Wikibooks:Languages bookshelf - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks Anyways, I very rarely use it, only when I need to look up the gist of something or define something. I've always...

I'm looking forward to Demigod and Starcraft II myself.

"movement" is completely related on perspective. Based on the way you think Earth could be zipping by at millions of miles per hour or everything else could be moving away from it while it stays still. (I don't know anything in reality)

Nintendo might be the one to release early next generation, the graphics on the wii are well outdated and the system isn't powerful enough to cope with a number of the games the xbox 360 and PS3 are getting, such as bioshock and gears of war.

$10. nothing more, nothing less. A flat $10. No questions asked, nothing told. Meh, I feel worse for the people who actually pay in the millions to buy a chick's virginity when she isn't even into it. They must have some serious social issues if they can't get a girlfriend/place so much value...

It's not so much a strobe light as it is a flashing light. Mine connects to a lamp that just goes on and off every second. The shaker looks somewhat like a big bar of soap and you put it under your bed/pillow. Anyways, about the OP. It'll help you gain perspective on it, but I don't think...

So.... do you have a deaf fetish or something? :whistle:

I've found that people (hearing) don't really want to know what it's like, just how it will affect them. It comes off a lot like a sob-story honestly.

To describe it bluntly it's a very strong and tall tower that should extend into or near Low Earth Orbit. It would likely use a counter-weight of sorts, such as an asteroid to provide gravity going outwards somehow and they would force the payload up it somehow instead of using innefficient fuel...

I *tried* to read the books. It was just so unbelievably horrid poorly written and cheesy that I couldn't read past page 40. A girl I know who hates the book also got dragged to the movies by her friends, apparently the movie is even worse.

I write erotic fiction stories that end up with the fact that the girl is a transexual/has a penis. I think it's disturbing but it's funny to read people's reactions to it :giggle:

I never played WOW, but I once played a game in the same genre (albeit much crappier) called runescape when I was 9-11ish. I never reached the level of addiction that you hear about all the time but it was all I thought about and played whenever I could. Not that it sent my life into a total...
