Jane Elliott
They may have arisen in Europe or the Middle East and spread more readily east and west due to human migrations, as opposed to south to Africa because of geographic barriers. Or, they could have arisen in Africa, and increased in frequency once early humans migrated out of Africa.

I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.
Mark Twain
I am skeptical that their decision is a response to new information, as opposed to legal developments in the case.

Craig Martin
People ask me, 'Is it better to marry your money type or the opposite? It's probably better to do the opposite. There's some conflict, but there's also some brakes and an accelerator, as opposed to having all brakes or all accelerator if you're the same.
Jordan Goodman
They are all air violations, as opposed to water violations and waste violations.
Terry Clawson

James Cagney
We are totally opposed to the whole project and we will continue to campaign against it. The control centre will not be run by the Fire Authority, it is likely to be run by an external private company.
Paul Clarke
Housework is work directly opposed to the possibility of human self-actualization.
Ann Oakley
I like individuals to use a home equity line of credit as opposed to a home equity loan, or second mortgage. The advantage of an equity line of credit is that you don't pay interest on anything other than what you use. You could have a $20,000 line of credit, but if you only borrowed $5,000 you'll only owe interest on that.
Dennis Means
It's more of a comprehensive information tool to empower people to respond and how to respond, as opposed to a screening instrument. It's good information for anybody to have and be aware of.
David Chamberlin
It's been a blur after having three tough years. What really makes it bad is the success that these guys are having now as opposed to the first three, and you hate to see it all end. You'd like to see him go through four years like this with this kind of attention and this kind of coach. But it's been great and fun.
Charles Watson
Unless we feel totally totally opposed to the legislation we should allow legislation to go to select committee to give the public an opportunity to have a say.

George Muller
Those who sell 'archive' product -- as opposed to 'hit' product -- will survive better than those who don't.

David Oaks
We need to have them playing as opposed to setting on the bench.
Roger Cook
Coming off such a low base, higher rates are confirmation we're in an economic growth cycle, as opposed to killing off the growth cycle, ... It doesn't deter my confidence in the stock market now.

Peter Erskine
The main issue for me would be the policies of morality as opposed to economics.

Barbara Gray
We are really just shuffling the problem around as opposed to dealing with the root cause.
Matt Austin
As opposed to Windows, there are over 70,000 known viruses.

We're opposed to it, across the board. It's a property rights issue and it's a public safety issue.
Arthur Hayhoe
I think the governor expressed his concern that the local officials representing so many citizens were so stridently opposed to the proposal.
Chuck Ardo
Second place, obviously, is the first loser, but I'll still take the first loser as opposed to third place.

One of the things that's important to me is to help people, as opposed to just getting up there and being sort of a pontificate, omnipotent and all-powerful individual lecturing folks from on high, ... Curtis Court.
James Curtis
I'm not opposed to dealing with Pennsylvania Amish. But I have not found many of them that meet our quality criteria. It's a combination of craftsmanship and finishing.

The prosecution is completely opposed to any question of severance of the indictments.
Geoffrey Nice
The constitution as it is now .... is completely opposed to the multi-ethnic reality of Macedonia.
Menduh Thaci

Hajim Al hassani
As opposed to the first 44 years of manned spaceflight, ... the difference is people are going to know that it is for them.
Burt Rutan
I grew up loving a lot of English bands, ... That has a huge effect on you. If I was listening to hip-hop as opposed to Morrissey when I was 13, I would probably be a very different musician. But that's what I was drawn to when I was growing up.
Brandon Flowers
Our organization is opposed to any increase in the minimum wage. The marketplace should set the minimum wage and we feel ... that it will cause job losses in the state.
Gregg Thompson
This book falls under the category of "stuff I know," as opposed to "stuff I need to learn".
Richard Price
Pro-Choice Minnesotans are proud that Sen. Dayton stood up for our fundamental freedoms and opposed John Roberts' nomination to serve as chief justice.
Tim Stanley
This is definitely a big deal for the project. It's been a project that's experienced a lot of ups and downs. I think it's refreshing to be at a point where we are looking at construction as opposed to another lawsuit.
Tom Hudachko
The hope is that we would be able to deal with the problem nationally as opposed to on a state-by-state basis.
Charles Griffith

You know, it's a different deal - throwing a football as opposed to throwing a baseball.
Drew Bledsoe
To be deeply committed to negotiations, to be opposed to a particular war or military action, is not only considered unpatriotic, it also casts serious doubt on one's manhood.

Robert Mcgrath

Peter Gordon
The United States is opposed to any such discussions.
Harlan Watson
It hasn't happened very often that I've actually given my heart. Sometimes I can be completely smitten, but I'll still keep it back at arm's length. Because if I do give it to someone and I get hurt, it's tragic. It incapacitates me. I have to be really careful of that. But that's not to say I would be opposed to falling in love with somebody.
