The VA Overview of Homelessness says So 200,000 is about right. The thing to keep in mind is that "tour of duty" isn't a factor here....we're not talking about war veterans, but anyone who has ever served, including those who were kicked out in their first year. Add in the estimates that 45%...

Or rather formulated rules to regulate their society. You are correct, but if all moral/legal rules can be explained by perceived necessity of those rules in the society, and if it can be shown that any apparently universal rules can be explained by universality of the problems they are meant...

But that doesn't make it absolute. "Murder" is defined as an unlawful killing. But what makes a killing unlawful has and does vary over time and across cultures. And not all unlawful killings, such as illegally killing an animal, is considered murder, although some religions and some...

"If I ask the other man which road to take to go to T, what will he say?" The man from T will point to L (because that's what the liar would say). The man from L will point to L (because that is not what the truth-teller would say). Take the other road.

Not quite. "To discriminate" simply means to make a clear distinction or to note differences. In the last few decades the word has been used more and more often to refer to making irrlevant distinctions, especially based on perceived group qualities. Really, I think that should be called...

And Mars is just the wrong size and can't hold an atmosphere. Is this then evidence that Mars was NOT created????

Except that's not true. The referenced sculpture is found on the East Pediment...the back of the Supreme Court and not seen as you "walk up the steps." The figures are facing the THREE central figures of Moses, Solon, and Confucius, all of whom are facing forward. Cite: The Supreme Court...

But that's how it already was in Texas and the rest of the country before this law. There are no laws or regulations against doing a story about a kid going to church, or teaching religious literature/art/music etc. (as long as the purpose is secular) None...anywhere in the US.

Because more children is not necessarily an advantage. IF infant mortality is high, and IF life expectancy is low, then it is necessary for a population to have a high fertility rate to sustain itself. But IF infant mortality is low and/or life expectancy is high, a population can sustain...

Except they don't. There are other costs involved besides the wholesale cost of gas. The floor is to stop predatory pricing, not to ensure profits. You can sell gas for 9.2% above wholesale and still not make a profit.

Age discrimination for prices is not illegal. Movie theaters and restaurants do it all the time. You can't price discriminate based on racerace, color, religion, sex, or national origin, but age is not protected. As for price controls on gas, there is a legitimate reason....because gasoline...

The Shi'a form of Islam is the offcial religion. All others, including Sunni Muslims, are restricted. In the Majles (parliment) no one who is not Shi'a or Sunni may have a seat except for 3 seats reserved for Christians (2 for the Armenian Christians and 1 for Assyrian or Chaldean Christians)...

So, you don't know what the word "throughout" means? It doesn't mean "in one tiny region." Palestinians are directly involved in conflict with Israel trying to wrest land from them. They're the ones committing the bombing attacks in Israel. Note that their goal is really more political than...

It's not an Islamic list, and I never claimed Israel used suicide bombers. Avatar made the claim the suicide bombers are hailed as heroes throughout the Middle East. Israel is in the Middle East so I included it int the list of Middle Eastern Countries.

No, I didn't. I stated that I have seen no such thing as YOU are asserting. That's not an assertion, that's a fact. I have not seen all the evidence and polls you clearly have already seen or you wouldn't have made your assertion. You made a claim. I stated that I have seen no evidence...

They do to a degree. Even a dictatorship can't completely ignore the will of the people without being overthrown. And like I said, I'm open to any evidence that supports your claim that the general populace throughout the middle east (if not the whole Islamic world) hails suicide bombers as...

I'm open to your evidence that in all 50 Muslim majority countries (I'll accept even half) suicide bombers are generally hailed as heroes. We can even limit it to the Middle East if you want: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United...

I see no such thing. And the State Dept link I gave contradicts that. And you are aware that the Muslim world is much larger than the Middle East? You seem to be using the terms interchangebly.

Well, the book description itself destroys any credibilty: No scientist thinks that Darwin's theory accounts for everything (and the current theories of evolution are far removed from Darwin's original thinking), and the fact that Darwin's ideas have been applied to social fields is irrelvent to...

Ok, here you go U.S. State Dept Country reports on Terrorism (April 2006, new one should be out soon) which outlines efforts by the Islamic countries in the Middle East and North Africa to combat terrorism. Note too, that Libya is no longer on the list of countries that sponsor terrorism...
