Well I don't have any hearing loss, so I assume that's the case. I've not actually been diagnosed for delay processing or auditory processing disorder or anything similar, I've just noticed the effects of something like that in my life.

I think the primary issue most religious people have is that it seems as though religions were the first ones that "came up with the concept", and now it's being used in a non-religious context, and essentially by using it in a non-religious context, they feel that the potency of using it in a...

Blech, the five years I was stuck for playing with computers (which should have only taken four, but I really disliked school and didn't take any ADD drugs at the time) was far longer than I really needed or wanted. I can't even imagine going twice that, or longer. No way.

Yeah, I have semi-regular fights with my girlfriend cause she gets angry at me for not being able to hear her correctly. Somehow "Sorry that your inability to hear me is extremely annoying" isn't nearly as convincing as "Sorry that I'm unable to properly understand you". I was hoping the...

Oh that was referring to the first half, lol. I didn't know that, that's cool. My mom's a lawyer too. Not for me, though - that's way too much schoolings for me to handle, lol.

I do that too. For me, it tends to be because my brain has some sort of delay, so first it processes "I didn't catch that, respond with 'Huh?' or 'What?'" then it speaks, then it processes "Okay, next step, make a best guess of what was said: '[stuff]oo[stuff]oo[stuff]ant[stuff]ookie'... oh, 'Do...

Nope, Hulu wouldn't be banned under this, because they have permission to stream the videos they do. What this law would do is make it a crime to stream a video that isn't owned by you. If you get permission to use the song/video/whatever in your video, then it wouldn't break this law...

Sallylou is a politician?

Haha, my last name is the exact same way. The worst part - it's four letters long, and still absolutely never pronounced right.

Yep, even famous people can be gullible.

I'd like to make a couple of points. 1) Several religious people have made numerous religious statements in this thread, and it hasn't been locked yet. This isn't to say that there's absolutely not a pro-secularism bias on behalf of the moderation team, there very well could be, but it hasn't...

Eh, I wouldn't (necessarily) attribute poor memory to lack of intelligence. I think she's extremely clueless, but this seems like the same sort of mistake I could see myself or any number of other people making (assuming I knew who JWG was).

Of note - this is generally only enforced when people are getting rude about it. If you don't want to share, that's fine, but the "religious ban" here I've basically only seen thrown about when religious posters want to claim that they're being oppressed, and then occasionally when a thread...

I'm sorry, but, what? The parameters I'm listing limit what you can do because reality limits what you can do. I'm not limiting you to my imagination, I'm limiting you to "things that are real". As for "who's to say that people like Harry Potter don't exist"... uh, science. Belief without...

Hah, yes, but there's a difference between imagination working within the parameters known as "reality" and imagination working outside of those parameters. One ends up with humans being able to fly. The other ends up with Harry Potter. Ah, didn't think of that, I was thinking of actual...

That (obviously) doesn't violate the laws of physics, nor did they violate the known laws of physics at the time. We did? Again, doing that doesn't violate any of the known laws of physics, though I wasn't aware of any objects that have left our galaxy. (I'm not even certain we've gotten...

Why shouldn't they, though? It's not unethical to choose healthy food (or food that you happen to like) to feed your child, or any number of other postnatal choices that can strongly affect how the child develops.

The people making sightings could also be hallucinating or lying.

My argument is that such a technology effectively cannot exist. Such technology even being able to be conceivably created would disprove numerous different well-supported scientific theories of genetics. However, coming back to reality, what's your opinion on actually possible, real...
