If only state funds were used to pay for the vocational education, it could be argued that the state should not have to bear the cost of vocational training which would benefit employers in other states.

Ethical egoists such as Rand who readily acknowledge the ( conditional ) value of others to an individual, and who readily endorse empathy for others, have argued the exact reverse from Rachels, that it is altruism which discriminates: " If the sensation of eating a cake is a value, then why is it an immoral indulgence in your stomach, but a moral goal for you to achieve in the stomach of others?

McVeigh argued that " imminent " does not mean " immediate ": " If a comet is hurtling toward the earth, and it's out past the orbit of Pluto, it's not an immediate threat to Earth, but it is an imminent threat.

Commenting on Singer's article " Heavy Petting ," in which he argues that zoosexual activity need not be abusive, and that relationships could form which were mutually enjoyed, Ingrid Newkirk, president of the animal rights group PETA, argued that, " If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer?

It has been argued by several authors that material implication does not fully capture the meaning of " If then " ( see the paradoxes of material implication ).

If the court felt that it had the power to review legislation under the Commerce clause, Lessig argued, then the Copyright clause deserved similar treatment, or at very least a " principled reason " must be stated for according such treatment to only one of the enumerated powers.

" If the director was trying to create an idyllic vision of a perfect Paris ," Kaganski argued, " He removed nearly all black people.

If America had a guarantee against Soviet nuclear attacks, its critics argued, it would have first strike capability which would have been a politically and militarily destabilizing position.

If such a union of human and divine occurred, Nestorius believed that Christ could not truly be con-substantial with God and con-substantial with us because he would grow, mature, suffer and die ( which Nestorius argued God cannot do ) and also would possess the power of God that would separate him from being equal to humans.

If a person takes drugs ( like cocaine or cannabis ) but does not directly harm another, it is often argued that this action has no victim and thus should not be illegal.

If the government's desire for democracy were genuine, a timetable for national elections should have been its priority rather than the preoccupation with local government, they argued.

If Communists succeeded in taking over the rest of Indochina, Eisenhower argued, local groups would then have the encouragement, material support and momentum to take over Burma, Thailand, Malaya and Indonesia ; all of these countries had large popular Communist movements and insurgencies within their borders at the time.

If they were provoked but not endangered, he argued, they were at most guilty of manslaughter.

If Bush wins, Gore argued, every state would have to have one statewide method of recording votes to be constitutional.

If you argued with him, you usually got a bunch of fives.

If mathematics has been informally used throughout history, in numerous cultures and continents, then it could be argued that " mathematical practice " is the practice, or use, of mathematics in everyday life.

" If one believes that the trust fund assets are worthless ," argued former Representative Bill Archer, then similar reasoning implies that “ Americans who have bought EE savings bonds should go home and burn them because they ’ re worthless because the money has already been spent .” At a Senate hearing in July 2001, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was asked whether the trust fund investments are “ real ” or merely an accounting device.

Al Gore has argued " If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration.

If bacteria that had overcome their own inability to consume lactose passed on this " learned " trait to future generations, it could be argued as a form of Lamarckism ; though Cairns later chose to distance himself from such a position.

Gallagher became so influential that a June 1996 NME article argued that " If Noel Gallagher, the most successful songwriter of his generation, champions a group, then said group are guaranteed more mainstream kudos and, quite possibly, more sales.

Together with Pym, Holles drew up the Grand Remonstrance, and made a vigorous speech in its support on 22 November 1641, in which he argued for the right of one House to make a declaration, and asserted: " If kings are misled by their counsellors we may, we must tell them of it.

Several Norwegian scientists argued against an extension, Kreyberg saying, " If it is a question of handing Dr. Reich over to the Gestapo, then I will fight that, but if one could get rid of him in a decent manner, that would be the best.

One proponent, R. Ruggles Gates, argued in 1960 that " If the Ainu are partly of Australoid origin it is also clear that they are even more nearly derived from archaic Caucasian ancestry ".

William Searle Holdsworth, one of Blackstone's successors as Vinerian Professor, argued that " If the Commentaries had not been written when they were written, I think it very doubtful that United States, and other English speaking countries would have so universally adopted the common law.

If the core becomes sufficiently dense, electron degeneracy pressure will play a significant part in stabilizing it against gravitational collapse.

If a main-sequence star is not too massive ( less than approximately 8 solar masses ), it will eventually shed enough mass to form a white dwarf having mass below the Chandrasekhar limit, which will consist of the former core of the star.

* Nonlinearity: If the current through a ferromagnetic core coil is high enough that the magnetic core saturates, the inductance will not remain constant but will change with the current through the device.

If one wants to carry two different types of traffic between the same two routers, with different treatment by the core routers for each type, one has to establish a separate MPLS path for each type of traffic.

If the master plan is successful, many commuters will travel to work in a core area nearer their homes, and the downtown area's daytime population will decrease.

If a star's core becomes stagnant ( as is thought will be the case for the Sun ), it will still be surrounded by layers of hydrogen which the star may subsequently draw upon.

If the core of the star is not too massive ( less than approximately 1. 4 solar mass, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time ), it may then form a white dwarf ( possibly surrounded by a planetary nebula ) as described above for less massive stars, with the difference that the white dwarf is composed chiefly of oxygen, neon, and magnesium.

If the mass of the core exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, electron degeneracy pressure will be unable to support its weight against the force of gravity, and the core will undergo sudden, catastrophic collapse to form a neutron star or ( in the case of cores that exceed the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit ), a black hole.

If the base is damaged, it is common to have it repaired in order to protect the core from exposure as well as reducing friction.

If the flux in the core is purely sinusoidal, the relationship for either winding between its rms voltage E < sub > rms </ sub > of the winding, and the supply frequency f, number of turns N, core cross-sectional area a and peak magnetic flux density B is given by the universal EMF equation:

If a red giant has insufficient mass to generate the core temperatures required to fuse carbon, around 1 billion K, an inert mass of carbon and oxygen will build up at its center.

If the mass of the progenitor is above 8 solar masses but below 10. 5 solar masses, the core temperature suffices to fuse carbon but not neon, in which case an oxygen-neon – magnesium white dwarf may be formed.

If approved, OpCo will have Enron's core assets, including 15, 000 miles of pipeline assets, 75, 000 miles of distribution assets, 6, 700 megawatts of generation, and 12, 000 employees.

If this is the case, the radius of the core ( 480 km ) is about 63 % of the radius of the moon, and its mass is around 54 % of the moon's mass — the proportions are dictated by the moon's composition.

If the ice contains enough ammonia or other antifreeze, Oberon may possess a liquid ocean layer at the core – mantle boundary.

* If the bit was already 0, the physical state of the core is unaffected.

* If the bit was previously 1, then the core changes magnetic polarity.

If the French crown was to bestow or grant new lands to nobles, Philip declared, they would usually be given only from the second source: this was a double-edged announcement, at once reinforcing the core, unalienable powers of the crown, whilst also reassuring nobles that their lands were sacrosanct unless they were forfeited to the crown in punishment for a crime or misdemeanour.

If an external magnetic field is now applied, it will, at a given instance in time, aid the flux in one core half and oppose flux in the other.

If the thunderstorm activity becomes deep and persistent, allowing its initial low level warm core to deepen, tropical cyclogenesis is possible.

If the goal of the reduction strategy is to produce flakes, the remnant lithic core may be discarded once it has become too small to use.

If exposed to cold and the internal mechanisms are unable to replenish the heat that is being lost, a drop in core temperature occurs.
