  1. Not dumbest state. You got it all wrong. It's more of a sexist and racist state... What the full document of Prop 2? Surely I don't think people said yes just because of gender and race. What are the benefits of prop 2, or the "cover" it has.
  2. Wake up about 30 minutes before you usually do for school, and start your day. The 30 minutes you have extra after you eat breakfast etc., meditate before school or do some other relaxing activity. T.V is ok as long as it's not violent, and try not to play games.
  3. You could just come to Canada, nothing's R rated here :lol: Happybirthday! :D Then how can you tell which movies are good? :-s . Happy birthday to you. May it be disappointing. jk.
  4. First of all, our buget is really low. Most of the stuff we got for the things were donated. Second of all, our student parties are alreadt like that with dunk tanks and things like that, and student councel gave us part of the profits of the last party. How low? Give a price range, just saying the word "low" doesn't really help.
  5. Its a bit different and so what? Its a great guide and it could save many people from being scammed. Yeah, but he took the credit for something he didnt do at all, just changed. Should we credit only the original idea or... the original application too? I reckon both. From my side, I've never heard of this before, should I it'd saved me a lot. He plagiarized. He took work without giving credit to the original person who made it. I don't know why you think it is fine to do that. And why can't you just check second screen, works just as good, less time and better.
  6. Very... short. You cover only the flower topic. 3/10. Better if you include this flower thing in a bigger construction guide.
  7. A. Does that give you the right to do that? Treat them like you want them to treat you. Two wrongs do not make a right. Doing that only lowers yourself to them. B. So if there's no evidence you can kill anyone, rape anyone, etc. C. Stealing is stealing. Nothing about it is justified. My opinion: A. Who gives a damn! Treat others like how you want them to treat you, that's bs through and through. You're just asking for someone to take advantage of you. One wrong and one right also do not make a right, idiot. B. Shut up, if you can get away with it, doesn't matter. C. That's on different scales. Small items don't matter. Shooting a dog doesn't matter. Shooting a human does. You get it? Argument: Me vs myself My different opinions.
  8. The thing is, the majority does not agree. It's about 48/52 in national polls, leaning towards against research. Why would they keep fertilized embryos in fertilization clinics? Those fertilized eggs are made to order. Unless you are referring to sperm in donor clinics, in which case it's just a bit of protein with DNA in it. Same goes for the eggs there. They have not been fertilized, and therefore life has not begun. Well that sucks. Why not research? Employ all possible resources. If an abortion has already occured why not use it. I don't understand some people. If you cut down a tree, you might as well use it for something. I think he's refering to the possible people in there. It's still living in a way, but it's not considered a person.
  9. ...Without theorems? Reread it again and again till you find out which one is a theorem, cause I KNOW that he used theorems in all of the proofs. I do not know what you have been reading.
  10. It hasn't been used in 40 years, and with the state of modern warfare will likely never be used again. I am sure that Apinagez was referring to Iraq with his comment, since he compared it to fundamentalists...All 4 wars this century that had a draft were started by Democrats anyways. It's not effective at all, considering you are working with completely different gene pairs and genetic coding. You can cure diabetes in field mice all you want, but without humans, you can not cure humans. Besides, nothing can ever be accomplished without someone disagreeing. It's human nature to have a free will, and God preserve that nature. I would be terrified of a world where everyone agreed with everyone else. That leads to fascism. The world always needs a little discontent to save freedom. If he was, he should have made specific that he was talking about voluteer soldiers. It's hard to rationalize when you think of one thing and the other person means another. I did not say animal testing is effective. I said animals could be used. In no way did I say, animal testing is effective. Please reread the post (and the part about stem cells you left out). Well then as long as majority agrees, just continue with the research. What if that child became the next Rembrandt, David, Mother Theresa, Diana, Gallileo, Einstein? Or he/she could be the next Hitler, Stalin, or other threat. Causality is futile, for this reason. You simply do not know what the child will become. Therefore, you can not pass judgement on them for crimes they have not committed. Nor can you praise them for glorious deeds that have yet to be done. Wow... Nice. I could not have put that better myself. You cannot judge a person by what they have not done. (or my paraphrase of your statement) Not IMO, but you gota do some research on that. Stem cells are cells that can turn into any other cell to make up that person's or animal's organ or cells or possibly the thing itself. Now think of it this way, can the cells in the umbilical cord turn into some other kind of cell and you'll see how I arrived to my opinion.
  11. I suppose both the means of the war and of the stem cell researching would be too painful to accept, from your point of view. So wouldn't both be unacceptable? The thing is, we can eventually develop ways of fighting wars that will completely eliminate the problem of innocent death, through enough determination. Stem cell research, on the other hand, requires embryos and fetuses, and that is not going to change (unless they can find a new way of research). The only ethical way to obtain stem cells, in my opinion, is from miscarriages...unfortunately, they are rare in the US and UK. Just as diplomats find a way to end war without death, I would love for scientists to find another way to research cures without the need for embryos and fetuses. And VOV, at the time of the Stem Cell ban, research was being done from fetuses...mostly aborted ones. Well it's pretty difficult. You could use animals. But then there will be people against that. What kind of solution can you find that pleases everyone and is effective, please tell me.
  12. I'm not sure, I'm saying that people who care for animals but don't care for plants are weird. If they're preaching not kill animals etc., then why do they eat plants, I don't get them, guess my paragraph is confusing... Soldiers choose to fight, fetuses do not choose to be a part of medical research. So you've never heard of the draft before have you? If the embryo was going to be the next Van Gough or Michael Jackson, but instead was used for stem cell research, then we would go on with life as normal. And how exactly can you say that we're killing innocent people? They don't have any feelings and haven't even developed to the point of being recognizable as human to the naked eye. I've said this before and I'll say it again, if we don't start counting their age until they're born, then why give them human rights until then? Oh, I thought you were talking about embryos who were already aborted. If you cut down a tree already, might as well use it for something. You don't waste it cause you think so and so. Oh and what if the next embryo had the potential to cause the world's self-annihilation. Complete nuclear warfare. Innocent as in never done a bad deed yet correct? Well it's like saying a baby Hitler is innocent. Yes he is innocent. But in the future you are not sure what the person will do.
  13. The ban on stem-cells is because of the way that embryos are obtained. Most are obtained by use of aborted fetuses, and the abortion practice used to obtain the fetuses is banned in almost every state (abortion past the first trimester, that is). It is in the constitution, article 10. This article gives states any powers not gauranteed in the Constitution to the federal government. State laws so heavily debated like abortion are left to referendum, which is a vote of the people. Therefore, the people make the laws in said cases. The problem is at the heart of the Constitution Tigra. The debate is when life starts...while a human may not be breathing and thinking at conception, it's cells certainly are...If they are alive, then the Constitution applies rights to them, and aborting them would be murder. If not, who cares? Unfortunately, it's not that simple of a debate. Actually the yolk is the food supply for the embryo. Anyways, what about plants, they are also made of cell, but people who support no animal/stem cell research still have to digest some kind of cell. They say it's wrong to kill an animal to eat it, well is it not wrong to kill plants to eat them? Then there's the, we don't need to eat meat for survival argument. Yes I guess so, you can survive your entire life without meat but you're still harming an organism. What's the psychological thought process?
  14. Ops, I guess I thought of fundamentalists as describing someone else, since it was used in a certain context. Here's the definition: a movement in American Protestantism that arose in the early part of the 20th century in reaction to modernism and that stresses the infallibility of the Bible not only in matters of faith and morals but also as a literal historical record, holding as essential to Christian faith belief in such doctrines as the creation of the world, the virgin birth, physical resurrection, atonement by the sacrificial death of Christ, and the Second Coming. I was thinking of the definition of people who don't like animal testing or stem cell research no matter what. I don't know what they're called...
  15. The point of proofs is to provide a new way of thinking about problems. It's the thought process that counts, not the actual math and equations. Unless of course, you plan to do something involving quantum physics or some other extremely complicated area of study. It's also there to reduce steps, instead of 6 different steps, you have one theorem. Oh, and thanks for the warm-up.
  16. Being optimistic is hard sometimes. Always look at both sides, looking at one side too much clouds your mind.
  17. Well if fundamentalists want to stop animal and stem cell research and such, why do they take vaccines and medicines that have been tested on these animals before? *Dialog begins* Oh I'm a true fundamentalist, looks at vaccine records... It says here you've taken over 100 shots of medicine that came from animal research... So... So..., why the hell you use medicines that came from animal research if you're a fundamentalist. Uhh..., I didn't know. *Dialog Ends* I think it's funny how fundamentalists use medicines that have been proven safe from animal testing, but still oppose against it.
  18. I understand it too. But it took a few reads for me to get it... It's correct I'll give you that... But I noticed one of them was like the AA similarity post. If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. So I just shot down one of your new postulate. The other one is using yet another postulate and some theorems to prove your postulate. The other one with midpoint. To prove they're congruent, you just have to use AAS, or some other congruence post to prove the smaller triangles then move on to the bigger ones. To lazy to come up with a key. Your: AB=BC ............................................ Midpoint Theorum <2=<2;<3=<3 ................................ Reflexive Property The Two Triangles are congruent ... ASA Theorum The two triangles are similar...My Theorum AB=BC.....................................Midpoint Theorum The two triangles are similar...ASA Theorum Mine: I would use the first steps same as you, then I used alt int on the midpoint line, thus proving the opposite triangles are congruent. Top left is congruent to bottom right tri, and visa versa. AAS. Then you can combine the bottom two triangles to make it congruent to top two using, ASA, SSS, AAS, or any other congruence post. Ops, shot down another. It's not necessarily a postulate (assumptions accepted without proof). This is flawed, you can just use post or theorems to prove this without going more than 6ish steps. I'm sure there is already a theorem but I havn't finished geometry yet so I'm unsure. In the future, check ALL of the theorems and postulates to see if they havn't been proven already and you're just jacking off the steps from it. Very important to check, that's how some brilliant people waste their time. They spend all of it trying to prove something that's already proven (unless they're checking it), don't waste your time doing that... If B is the mid-point of AC, then the two triangles are congruent. EDIT: Also, the two opposite interior triangles are congruent. Also it should be C is the midpoint of AB.
  19. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. (one of many) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/love I don't see it applying only to a man and a woman here.
  20. Might be. But how will you have equal quality education. Make all schools public? I'd like to hear it. That's the problem, equal opportunity is the best answer, but will people actually support it? Anyways even if that happens, the people that really want more education, and have money for it, for their children will hire private tutors, and all the equal stuff just goes back down the drain.
  21. only one, sharing with oh so many people Dad too cheap to buy another one.
  22. I work 40 hours a week. Sometimes I work overtime, not often. I am taking 9 credit hours of school. 12 credit hours is considered a full-time student. 15 is normal for a full-time student. So I don't take as many credit hours of school as a lot. Last semester I worked a part time job also, for 10 hours a week. That's a total of 50 hours working a week, sometimes I would work overtime. I was also taking 12 credit hours of school, so I was a full time student, had a full time job, and a part time job. Transit time stayed about the same, 2 hours a day, since my part time job was close. I didn't make an error, you just didn't read it right. Yup, my bad. Still, it's pretty hard to study and have fun in the left over time.
  23. I agree, better to pay bills then to buy a game system and tons of games that will eventually be dumped anyways, when you get bored.
  24. I work full time. I also go to school, only have 9 credit hours compared to the normal 12-15 that is considered full-time student. Both my school and my work are half an hour away, so that is 2 hours commuting every day. I have no problems fitting everything in now. It was much worse last year when I also had a part time job 10 hours a week, and took 12 credit hours at school. That was tough, but still not impossible. Well I'm talking about full-time student and working FORTY hours a week, (maybe more depending on tuition). 10 hours a week is not a lot compared to 40, unless you made an error.
  25. 50 thousand... I'd buy a computer and save it but for the purpose of this thread... I'd buy a $1000-$2000 comp, maybe a plasma or LCD t.v $(dunno price but I think it's like $6000 or something), GBA, Nintendo gamecube, and a bunch of other games to go with it, $1000. Dangit, can't think of anything else that's between $2000 and $10000. All I can think of is college, car, splurging on low cost items, etc.
