Your lord, and yes, as much as I believe in the easter bunny, zombies, the tooth faerie, and all other fiction written by man to capture the hearts and minds of their fellow humans.
No, we're not doomed, people just need to realise religion is divisive by design, and should be shunned, and eradicated, like the pervasive disease it is.
People can never be united under one religion, and no religion will ever concede to another.
Absolutely not, but then again, I'm self employed.
I have worked for companies that drug test, never had a worry about passing, but I have also refused to work for ones that do test, simply because they do.
I'm completely against it, it's an invasion of privacy, and often only applies to a certain part of the workforce in areas where they do test anyway.
I'd say it would be impossible, when you think of what religion actually is, what it represents.
Values were present long before religion came along, they just renamed them according to whatever the particular faith is. Most of the religious traditions were stolen from other cultures, groups, or even other religions. The only reason it's a way of life for anyone is because it's what was instilled or enforced upon them from birth. I doubt many of the "religious' would choose religion or religious life if they didn't grow up with it. It's learned, not something instinctual, otherwise we wouldn't have had thousands of religions throughout recorded history.
All just power struggles between various cults, and some of them death cults, where you don't get your reward until you're gone. They all want control of people, their lives, and their money, and people fall for it, through fear and intimidating tactics.
Religion is the truest form of evil, if there were such a thing.
I agree, but so far it's just been myself and all you ladies on the thread. Not that I'm complaining mind you, being surrounded by women isn't a bad thing.
The compact fluorescents, known as CFLs are not the best thing there is out there for that type of bulb, but the cheapest alternative to good fluoresecents. The best are a T8 or T5, but they're usually seen as a strip light, in 2, 3 and 4 foot length in 1, 2 and 4 tube varities. There are though, other variants, in compact sizes. All of these would require changing the fixture you currently own, where as the CFL doesn't, usually.
I've come across many fixtures that won't accept a CFL due to the size of the base, so the entire fixture needed to be replaces anyway, and the client opted for something more efficient. It's not always an LED though, seeing as the cost can be prohibitive, and the light isn't always the best for the application.
The T5 does require a "burn in" time, which is generally 12 hours, which will extend bulb life to the max, but the T8 seems to last longer with a burn in as well, although it is reported that it isn't required. I've personally tested them, and there is merit to leaving them on for a day when you first install them and the power you use is next to nothing, as compared to what you would have had previously.
I like the idea of LED lighting, but I don't care for the light itself, and I have found that a few of them are outright annoying, even causing headaches and a feeling of nausea. It has also been said of fluorescents, but I've never experienced it, but I have with LEDs.
The added cost of LED lighting, compared with a simple CFL replacement, or even to switching to a more efficient T8 or T5 fixture is huge, so do the math on what the usage will be in each particular application. I don't see the need for T5 compared to a T8 in a garage, unless they're on 24/7 for years at a time, and then you may as well switch to an LED, if you can stand the light and afford the initial cost.
Hmmm, I dunno if I've answered your question, but if you want anything specific, please don't hesitate to mail me. It's not all cut and dried, it all depends on the application and intended usage, as to what you should have for lighting. It isn't as easy as it was when you decided on a 40 or 60 or 100 watt bulb years ago.
I'm curious, what blog, and what model and year of Lambo? I don't care about the person that owns it, I'm just into cars. Have been since I was 9, long before I knew anything about social status or even cared, and I still don't.
I've thought about a few things since I read this thread after I posted last, and I must say, I'm glad I live in Canada, and a rural part at that. I'll say no more, lest I offend someone with higher social aspirations.

RE: What are these guys thinking?
Probably, and I don't trust as easily as I once may have, but I haven't cut myself off of humanity in general either.I have a couple hundred ignores for every one.
Ok, that's a lie, it's more like a thousand to one.
S'ok, I'm aiming for a million.
