"I don't think so Tim."

I was pretty upset that my grandma got me a Genesis instead of a Super Nintendo, but I played the hell out of Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles, and Mortal Kombat. No Super Mario World though. :(

Whhhhhat? That's awesome!

Imagine going to jail for a Chevy Avalanche.

A rare polar bear that was spotted in a remote village in Iceland was shot by police after being considered a threat, authorities have said.

The bear was killed in the north-west tip of the country after police consulted the national environment agency, which declined to have the animal relocated, according to the Westfjords police chief, Helgi Jensson.

“It’s not something we like to do,” Jensson said. “In this case … the bear was very close to a summer house. There was an old woman in there.”

The owner, who was alone, was frightened and locked herself upstairs as the bear rummaged through her garbage, Jensson said. She contacted her daughter in Reykjavik, the capital, by satellite link, and called for help.

“She stayed there,” Jensson said, adding that other summer residents in the area had gone home. “She knew the danger.”

Do you seriously lack reading comprehension skills? The section of my comment you've pointed out says that I value them equally, not that polar bears are more valuable than humans, and not that humans are more valuable than polar bears. This is why I knew it was pointless to argue with you, because you aren't doing it in good faith. Go protect your imaginary school from the polar bears massing an imminent attack if you want to act like this.

Just feed them to the polar bears.

I never said I didn't care.

I would've called it Dr Crusher.

The difference between the two of us is that you think humans are more important than other animals and I don't. If this polar bear killed a few humans in Iceland, I'm not saying those particular humans would deserve it, but we as a species do. This polar bear didn't do anything wrong. It has no capacity to, it was just trying to survive. Maybe instead of destroying anything that may potentially be a threat to humans, we should protect the planet we live on and the habitats of our fellow plants and animals. It's in our own best interests too. No sense arguing about it though, I doubt either of us will change our minds.

So what about humans posing a threat to them? If it's so rare to have them show up in Iceland, what drove a polar bear to do this? From what I understand, with less ice at the poles it has made it harder for polar bears to hunt seals, leaving many of them starving. As we head towards winter, polar bears have to put on fat stores to survive and feed newborn cubs. It's really a shame that so many people talk about "animals" as if we aren't animals too. By your logic, there would be nothing wrong with polar bears rolling into town and eating the species threatening their survival.

I'm pretty sure it's Folgers.

Please tell me they fixed the resolution!

"They were totally about to launch rockets at us! For no reason at all! Hit them with the warplanes!"

Gotta love MR2s! Here's That's a couple of years ago though, I need to do some work to it but raising kids now!

Snaaaaaaaake!!

The way I understand it, pagers are a one way device. When a message is sent to a pager it is broadcasted by the network for the pager to recieve, but there isn't any sort of confirmation sent back to the tower, so they can't really be tracked. That's why they were in use prior to cellphones. These pagers ran on a AAA battery from what I understand, which wouldn't last very long if it was having to constantly broadcast like a cellphone.

Always to the east...

So, I was curious and did some digging on the old LLV. Apparently it has a 13.5 gallon tank, and the vehicle is rated at 17mpg, but in actual use it gets more like 8-10mpg. So taking the worst case of 8, that's about 100 mile range, so the NGDV isn't really all that much worse. I'm guessing that's going to cover the majority of routes, with the few outliers being covered by the gas powered versions.

I also regret your decision.
