They got same sex marriage there years ago, I had to work in parliament buildings the week of the vote, I wore a pink button on my overalls with "HUG Heterosexual Unafraid of Gays", was funny having those parliamentarians staring at me. I don't know if I made a difference, but I did loose my job over it (not that I cared working for some homophobe) When I was last in N.Z. no one talked about that stuff anymore, like it was accepted.

The cell phone, when turned "off" is still operating. How else do you think it determines that you want to turn it on? It needs to figure out that you have held the button for a specific period of time (the same button normally used to disconnect a call when "on" .) Do you think it accomplishes this without the power? The cell phone is always powered even when "off" . Even if the CPU wasn't powered at all times, which it is, you are assuming that the IC that sends and receives the analog signals to and from the cell are not operational, which is also a bogus assumption.

Oops! (I was taken aback how small the difference between the U.S. and Canada was)

Not quite lol.

Good point, I am aware of differences in the way people look and that I am a minority, but I never thought of myself as better then any one else...

Oh? There is no difference between need and nice to have?

In Germany A tv network did a test with them, guess what ....

Maybe, I am sure joon or jhn will point him out to us...

Both are equally important to me.

No, smoke as much as you want, just do it outside away from non-smokers. (I am an ex smoker.)
