I fail to see how the leaders manage to keep themselves satisfied with the current laws. They're utterly ridiculus and that's pretty much all there is to it. We need change and we need it now.

 

Yes, there has been a need for change in the current law system for a very long time, there's a good few laws who doesn't make any sense at all. Let me given you a brief example, this are some strange laws that you will find the the US:

 

Alabama:

 

1. It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.

 

 

California:

 

1. Community leaders passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone

to try and stop a child from playfully jumping over puddles of water.

 

 

Connecticut:

 

1. You can be stopped by the police for biking over 65 miles per hour.

2. You are not allowed to walk across a street on your hands.

 

 

Florida:

 

1. Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.

2. A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or

she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.

3. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee

has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.

4. It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.

5. Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.

Here's a few others I remember:

 

1 - It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament.

2 - In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

 

Old laws, but still funny how they still hang on to them

2 - In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

 

I wonder what would happen if a Scotsman actually carried a bow and arrow in York, and someone did murder him just because that law says it's legal

I read about Scientology today, and I wondered what makes people belive this:

 

From Wikipedia:

"Scientology is based on the belif of a intergalactic dictator, by the name Xenu, who bringed aliens to earth and killed them with hydrogen bombs and their restless spirits is nagging the human kind today."

I believe that applies to any belief in an omnipotent ruler of the Universe (i.e. God).

In my opinion is all religion the same. They speak of 1 higher power (the dictator) who see everything we do and judge us by it. And if we don't behave he will smite us all down for not doing what he said we should do.

 

Religion is crazy if you ask me, however what's even crazier is that people would go as far as to kill for it.

Doesnt the number of nm describe the gap between the transistors, and not the physical size of the transistor?

 

EDIT: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel...?i=3513&p=5

 

How could it be lower temps just because they are closer? Having the transistors closer without shrinking them will make the processor hotter IMO. If they dont shrink the transistor wont it produce just as much heat?

 

I'm trying to understand this, correct me if i'm wrong.

"I have against God, it's his followers i can't stand"

 

I want to add something to the religion discussion,

I believe religion can be good for so many people.

I believe that they are thought ethics and understanding on a different level from religion,

note: we only hear/read about the fanatics who took it one step too far.

 

so I believe that religion as media has made it is not good for anyone,

but religion for the ones we don't read/hear about is good.

 

I myself don't believe there is a higher power or anything like that,

and wish not to be "lead" by someone else as if I was not my own being.

Perhaps, but even though - I still see religion as a tumor that's holding humanity back in many ways.

[henbruas]

The religious people I really cannot stand are the ones who believe that religion is the only reason why we have morale and ethics, and just cannot imagine how atheists can be good people.

The masses are the true power of the fanatics. If everyone came to their sences we wouldn't have to hear glamour-girls sing either.

Religion ceeps people in a small box where life has a meaning and the end is a blessing.

It hinders free thought and slows down evolution. If there was no religion and no dispute aboute it. think of all the time we would get. everyone thougt for them selvs. hell.. we might even find proof of a devine god, perhaps even the excistanse of the flying spaghetti monster.

 

crysis in the middle east? never again. no one blowing them selves up in the name of their god. no one waging war on the hedens.

 

and all the coverups that would have to find a new place to hide!

 

dam. just think..

 

edit: We don't need religion and the world would be better of without it..

If it's aliens from above or divine people still need something to believe in, something that perhaps might help them, something that can come and aid them when the life is hard, and for those people religion is the source of the day, they need it as much as an alcoholic needs his booze.

 

People can believe what they want to believe, it isn't my job to judge people. However I think those who have a religion should respect that some people don't need, want or care for any religion, they are content as they have it. The major problem as I see it is that those who have a religion to hold on to try to convince others that they have the only right way and everyone else is going to damnation and fast. I don't think it's OK that they start scaring people just to convince them otherwise and saw doubt in their minds just to convince them. What I also don't find any way OK is that they kill in the name of their God, even though they are contradicting themselves as much as it's possible by committing murder. Though the hide it behind the statement that it's OK to punish those who don't believe as they do.

 

Religion is fine, as long as those who do believe in those religious things respect other peoples view. They yell after respect from others but they are not the ones who respect others.

Well in this new days the cops can plant some evidence to get someone convicted that they see fit. Those days perhaps everyone tried to catch a scotsman with a bow, and an arrow, just to be rid of one more.

 

Anyone remember the "Scotsman suicide school" from Monty Python?

[Allighiero]

I'm up too early, still drunk from last night and going to take the train for 4 and a half hour. Can't wait. Probably going to fall asleep during the football today as well. Oh well, I had fun last night, I think..
