Quasars are some of the most energetic objects in the known universe. That jet is made of high energy X-rays and gamma rays and would probably convert a human body to ionized particles very quickly.

I love me some Bach, but if it's psychedelics I might tend to want something more from the Romantic period.

If that's what she wants too, then there's nothing wrong with it.

corporations destroying the environment more in 1 day than a human could in 1 million years

I take a little umbridge with this line of thought, because a lot of the waste and pollution is driven by demand from the masses.

That means he's a senator in the United States Senate, the federal one.

The legislative branch of the US government is bicameral, which means it is composed of two houses. One being the House of Representatives, and the other being the Senate. The House of Representatives is composed of 435 Representatives, divided proportionally based on the population of the states, while the Senate is composed of 100 members, with two from each state. The theory behind this bicameral legislature is that the House of Representatives represents the people, while the Senate represents the states.

The Senate and House together make up the legislative branch. They work together to enact legislation, and they also hold checks and balances over the other two branches (executive and judicial).

Each of the houses has more specific duties as well. The Senate has power to confirm presidential appointments, to approve or reject treaties, and to convict or exonerate impeachment cases brought by the House. 

It is possible that your friend's father is a state senator, which means he would represent the interests of one portion of his state to that state's government. These people are often referred to as "senator" in common speech as well.

Your opinion is being allowed right here and now. But because you suck, you're being criticized and down voted.

I'd rather bulldoze your industrial park and establish a nature preserve.

And toilet paper rolls... If you got a child you probably know.

Stuff them full of dryer sheets and blow your weed smoke through them?
