Don't buy from TigerDirect. If you can find the same burner on NewEgg, then buy it from NewEgg instead. www.newegg.com

I've heard of that too. It's pretty eerie.

The hearing aid for my left ear broke, so I've had to send it back to a specialist who repairs them, but it's weird not hearing in one ear. I can hear if the sound is loud enough, but most of the time I'll be listening to people talk and sometimes I swear I can hear in my left ear...

I learned sign language at Gallaudet until I was three and my family moved to Kansas. I spoke my first word at the age of 2, and my parents understood what I said because I signed it at the same time I spoke it. I was placed in a mainstream environment in a school district that was...

Holy crap, you have got to be kidding me, right? Please, please tell me you're just a gimmick.

Good point! How contradictory of Bush! Just goes to show that Bush is just another politician swayed by current media hullaballoos. Then again, what politician isn't, I suppose? The nerve of the conservative right to call Kerry a flip-flopper when everyone in politics is, in essence, a...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/20/schiavo/index.html It's gone. I seriously wonder what they hope to accomplish with this. I'm sure the doctors don't mind, as they'll keep getting their money out of this. Maybe we'll find that someday humans will be able to live for hundreds of years without...

Sounds very analytical. Sort of like my thoughts, although I think I've graduated a bit beyond the morbid thoughts. I still have them occasionally, however. :ugh2:

Depends on how far right you are, I suppose. Still, I'm against anyone who opposes care and aid for people who are in circumstances that are the same as mine or who are in similar circumstances. However, this topic has sorely gotten out of hand, and I apologize for perpetuating the cycle.

I guess I should read this book! It'll be a long spring break since KU is out of the tourney. :(

Yep, born with it. I know some people dislike the term I use to describe my condition, but it's what I use, no offense intended. 90% hearing loss without hearing aids, 64% capacity with hearing aids.

I'm going to be an asshole, but maybe he just wants to save Americans some money. Besides, he's not trying to kill her. He left the decision up to a court to act as a surrogate to decide because he knew that if he made a decision himself either way, people would hate him for it. Lay your blame...

That pretty much sums it up for me as well. However, you forgot one important event. I was born. :mrgreen:

Yes, they're all different, but they're all bad anyways.

Without having waded through 15 or so pages of nonsensical banter, I'm just going to state the truth, plain and simple: without a cerebral cortex, all signs of sentience cease to exist. Terri Schiavo has no cerebral cortex. It has long since desintegrated, and now in its place lies excess spinal...
