I’ve forgiven people who hurt me because it was easier than carrying the anger and bitterness around forever. So far, it seems to be working; I know tons of people my age who are seething with resentment 24/7, and it doesn’t seem like a nice way to live.

Aren’t political donations tax-deductible?

It’s a good option for managing severe pain.

Fair point: let’s go with “stupid.” I didn’t mean to come across as derailing, but with some time to reflect, perhaps my initial post was ill-advised.

I believe it’s most commonly isolated from natural gas. Electrolysis is also an option. Where are you going with this?

In theory, it’s possible. But:

The car almost certainly doesn’t meet US safety standards - unless it’s 3-wheeled. Pure electric cars also have few moving parts.

We know we can make fuel cells work; the problem is getting hydrogen cheaply and greenly.

Because it’s not efficient. The hydrogen has to come from somewhere: either cracked from fossil fuels, or through electrolysis.

China didn’t intervene until the battle turned decisively against the North and US troops were approaching the Chinese border.

How about in a locker room?

This is a bad bill, for all the obvious reasons

Nobody ever wins by playing defense, is probably how they think.

Exactly. For most of them their biggest problem is a Tea Party primary challenger.

Republicans as a whole might benefit from doing as you say, but only half a dozen face competitive elections in 2016. The other have more to fear from their right flanks. I don’t expect them to budge.

Which is why they won’t confirm anyone till there’s a Republican president.

I realize “Sullivan v New York Times” makes it impossible, but given the amount of lies in political campaigns, I wish Trump WOULD sue. Wouldn’t it be great if candidates could get legally called out on their bullshit? Wouldn’t you love it if the Birther movement had to put up or shut up?

50K miles, on a Benz model from the era when their build quality was the best in the world, for 5 grand? I’d be tempted, even though it’s far from my favorite model.

We must know a different group of fundies. But perhaps many people think the way you describe yours.

The joke doesn’t work, because anti-aborts also want sodomy laws.
