The TV ghosts are trying to appeal to a larger audience.

Murder is a legal term, so no, mowing your lawn isn't murder. The folks in the Law Now forum are laughing.

The OP suffers from the error that the "natural" intended purpose of something is magically the "best" possible use. Books are designed to be read, but if you're stuck in an abandoned cabin in a blizzard it's unintended use as kindling is actually the best use.

Permission, eh? When you go to the store and walk out with a candy bar, did you give "permission" to the store to take the price of the candy?

Try the two piece dark meat spicy chicken with red beans and rice as the side and I think you get a drink. You're not allergic to frying oil, right? They don't have the same menu in the UK and USA. I don't think you can get beans and rice in the UK. In fact, you can't get a lot of the sides that ar...

Much is written about the infinite divisions, alas no mention that these divisions are infinitely small (and thus easily traversed). Don't believe me? Watch my finger.

Ah yes, the ol' "theft" ruse. You know what Real theft would be? Using government services but not paying for them (through tax paying). So don't use any power, roads, fire dept, police dept, Internet, GPS, any medical technology discovered through NIH grant money, etc. You go girl!

Pascal's Wager might make some sense if most theists didn't care which god or gods folks believed in, as long as they believed in the concept of gods. Alas, most religions reject all other gods as False Idols, thus the retort to Pascal (and his Wager) is: which god? Of the 18,000 humans have invente...
