    Mike Gaskey wrote: you don't, you punish the doctor that facilitated it. It is not necessary for a doctor to facilitate it, and even if it was it would be inappropriate to only punish one side of a crime. If you really believe that abortion is murder, how do you justify only punishing the hit man and allowing the person who commissioned the murder to go free?

    The bank doesn't work this way, they look to make money on both ends of the stick. And they sure as hell are not making money on the deposits of a guy who is overdrawn from time to time and never has $200 to his name. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

    It says nothing. Except that Newsweek can quote from the writings of reputable science - which it did. Since this seems to be the best counter argument you could come up with days after I posted, assume I no longer care what you say in this thread.

    I wonder how much time he spends down on the beaches, tut tutting at all the mammary glands in view. I bet he even takes photos so he can compare and draw graphs and stuff. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

    The one to watch is Vince Cable (the Lib Dem Treasury Spokesman), .

    Yeah I see your point. But I'm betting it would at least appreciate the right to live. And that, I think, is worth the law makers time to find a way to fit it in. Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.

    Oakman wrote: As soon as the electorate discovers that it can vote itself bennies and perks it cannot earn, some form of socialism takes hold. Proven solidly last month. Yes. It's hard work, just like a marriage. Which is why I think the real danger is in letting people forget their responsibility to monitor their government and cast their vote based on educated analysis. And when we start to fall, I don't see any reason why we can't trash a few things to right us again and keep on riding the republic. That will just obviously take more than 4 years to start doing, and a lot of education (and maybe a little McCarthyism, as it pertains to pinko commies anyway). An easy way to get around the house wife problem, just repeal the 24th amendment and reinstitute the poll tax.

    Yep, saw it last night, priceless! :-D Cheers, Vıkram. I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.   - Josh Gray.

    It was a threat, a threat of retaliation, a fiscal MAD. You cannot restrict trade TO the US and reasonably expect other not to restrict trade FROM the US. And war is what it may end up as, a trade war rather than a fighting one (hopefully) The last time the US tried this was the 30s and it took a world war to get the US out of recession

    V V nearly laughed out loud when I should have been working at Doctors say that you should eat 5 pieces of fruit or veg a day to remain healthy.
