back saying she can't do that due to Fair Housing Laws

\_ Probably bullshit.

they keep their tax-exempt status?
\_ Because LDS is a religion and gayness isn't?

2009/9/14-21 [Politics/Domestic/Immigration, Politics/Domestic/SocialSecurity] UID:53361 Activity:nil | 9/14 Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.
The only thing I got is the following:

2009/4/21-23 [Politics/Foreign/MiddleEast/Israel] UID:52884 Activity:kinda low | 4/20 Ok, I am not a Jew hater. In fact, most of my so-called "white"
friends turned out to be Jews. And I am fortunate to have
opportunity to work with whole bunch Israelis and working with them
has been an absolute pleasure. HOWEVER, I just failed to understand
why people got offended by the speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In my
relatively neutral point of view (I am an Asian), most of what he

220, right? Now, I'm pretty sure it's not a good idea to plug a
European appliance into my dryer's power outlet, but I'm not really
sure why. Is it just the 50hz vs 60hz problem?
\_ I think it would work fine, actually.
\_ most dryer sold in USA only takes 110V, and 220 outlet will

Disneyworld. This is for mid-March. Any advice? I'd like to make
it as simple as possible... the less work, the better.

\_ I went to Disneyland with my wife twice (October and June).
