Not too long ago, on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart had Ramesh Ponnuru on as a guest, and they had the following exchange:

STEWART: Well, let me put it to you this way, and I apologize. The President said--let's talk about stem cells, since you don't want to talk about abortion--the President said, "I do not condone the taking of innocent life to save life. And I assume that's your position on stem-cell research.

PONNURU: Yeah, that's right.

STEWART: But couldn't you say that that was the exact justification of the Iraqi war?

...

STEWART: But this is--what they consider "collateral damage" in that war somehow is not acceptable when it might lead to a cure for Parkinsons.

How do you counter that? The guest basically stammered; he didn't have a satisfying answer. Now, I love Jon Stewart, but certainly he didn't come up with an indefensible argument. I can't think of any rebuttal but surely one must exist. Can anyone else think of one, even if you don't agree with it?

My hair is not wavy, but curly with a lot of body. When air hits it, sooner or later the groups of curls expand. So I always have it tied up.

I find that it is so easy to get a fat girl into bed and I generally just hit on fat chicks because i can't be bothered to make a decent effort with a good looking girl, is that messed up?

If you only get to see someone once a week because of it. And it rely's on one person doing most of the driving back and fourth. Your experiences or ideas welcome?

I thought that Islam is a religion of choice. You choose to do what you do. Then whey do muslims want to kill those people that chose some other beliefs over Islam- is it not their choice to Aposticise?

i am 22yrs old and i am student of master level. i want to go for phd and then some other educational programs. for that i need to work hard and have to concentrate more on my work. the problem is when i make calculation it takes me 8-10 yrs. i feel that if i go for these abjectives i may never enjoy my life like other students. life seems too short for me to covereup everything that i wish. on the other hand if i go for enjoyments it too will end in frustrations i.e no achievments in life. i realy feel that time is running out of my hand. again these acheivments have to end up with life, so struggle for nothing. i am realy confuse about the world and cant gather up.

I have so much going on in my life i feel like i am going to explode and yet the one person who i should be able to talk to is not there for me.
I have been so low lately and he has finally noticed, i have been trying to tell him for ages!
Last night he said "you always seem so miserable", and i said, maybe its because i am, and with that he rolled over and went to sleep.He says that he is not a talker and i should know that by now, but it is impossible to have a relationship with someone who won't talk.
He said this morning that he didnt even remember me telling him i was unhappy last night, but he still hasn't said we could talk tonight.
i feel resentful that he has so much time for others but none for me, i don't know if i am just angry or don't love him any more, but why should i have to beg for him to act as if he cares?
He never seems to take me seriously.

Does this mean it will work with a pay monthly contract sim from the network 3? I think this contact includes some wap services but I don't need to use these on the unlocked phone.

I just noticed that my cats got fleas. What flea medicine is the best? In the pet store they suggested advanced once a month, but it's not cheap, so I wanna make sure it works! Did anyone try it? Or is there a better one? I don't mind spending a lot of money on it, as long as it works!
Thanx for help
