I Agree with other posters. Someone would have to be awfully small-minded to have a problem with adopting a child of a different race. Don't worry about it.

Tap kill switch. Cool.

Sounds rough. We're having a lot of trouble getting our nine-month old to sleep properly. Nothing that bad, but he wakes up every two or three hours through the night. It's been pretty much the same since he was a newborn.

I'm an ex-pat Canadian living in Asia. I can say that from an international perspective, friends and allies of the US are extremely happy for Americans right now and you guys have earned back the good will that Bush fettered away by attacking Iraq and just generally proving himself to be an...

Congratulations to everyone from the US!!!

I think John McCain is a pretty reasonable, smart guy but he didn't have the full support or enthusiasm of his party (specifically, the evangelical religious right and other groups like the NRA) and he's lacking in charisma. He also has to distance himself from Bush to appeal to the wider...

Dolleypaul - Banned after just one post. Harsh. Was it the grammar mistakes? I didn't find them that offensive.

Anybody up for the task? I'm going to 'cut and run'.:o

I don't know anything about demolition but I would guess the answer to your questions is 'no' and 'no'. Are we sure that the building was deliberately demolished?

A little more current. 'Jackson Jackson' from 'The Fire is on the Bird'. Best album I've heard in a long time. <YOUTUBE id="tNV2XwHhXzg" url="http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=tNV2XwHhXzg">http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=tNV2XwHhXzg</YOUTUBE> Check out Cat Empire also. One of the Jackson Jackson...

I think a lot of conspiracy theories are pretty ridiculous but there was a lot going on behind the scene here and there migh have been 'conspiracy' on some level. Maybe they did opt to demolish the building after it had been hit. It's the more extreme versions of the conspiracy theory that I...

Hmm... Some nice tunes in there. I think I've got Music Dad's profile down to a tee. Canadian, mid to late thirties, didn't do so well with the women while in high school (prog rock turns chicks off and he also probably didn't hit puberty until grade 11), probably uses a Mac.... Wait a...

Here's a good one http://z.about.com/d/urbanlegends/1/0/m/2/missing.jpg :lol: Stuff like that sudden conspiracy theorist who was streaming his argument onto the internet and then suddenly got cut off, too.... :wideeyed: Conspiracy fur sure! :lol:

Here's the incomplete rebuttal: 5. The omission of the fact that fire has never, before or after 9/11, caused steel-frame buildings to collapse (25). Steel frame buildings have nothing to do with the twin towers. They were not steel frame buildings in the conventional sense, and he is not...

Here's the conspiracy argument 1. The omission of evidence that at least six of the alleged hijackers---including Waleed al-Shehri, said by the Commission probably to have stabbed a flight attendant on Flight 11 before it crashed into the North Tower of the WTC---are still alive (19-20). 2...

Jtee already said this but I think it's worth pointing out again. More often than not, the conspiracy arguments are very selective, based on half-truths and mock science. Some of the evidence is definitely compelling but other times it's based on armchair science and other times it's just...

Never attribute to conspiracy, what could be easily explained by incompetence. (Did someone else say that already?)

Like Geoff said. We're raising an English/Japanese speaking child and we have many friends in the same boat whose kids have had varying degrees of success. It's not as easy as it sounds and it takes discipline. The key is that the child must be regularly be in an environment where they HAVE...

So what are 'street smarts'? Sure, it seems to be a common sense idea but actually, I'm not really sure what street smarts are anymore. (All the streetsmart readers are probably thinking 'Dude, if you have to ask, you'll never understand!')

Good read. IQ does change. As NaillNai said, at a given time on a given test, the score will vary within a certain range of the test taker's true ability (let's call it 'g'). But also, as a person/child develops, the true score -the person's true intelligence, (g)- CAN change for a variety of...
