the cause is new pesticides from Monsanto/Bayer

With the rampant sexual harassment that was reported last New Year's Eve in Köln, I'm not sure if they're the Mexicans or pussy-grabbing Trump.

That said, does the US have problems with Mexicans that are religiously motivated to kill everyone that thinks differently from themselves?

We do, actually. We've had tons of attacks by latino terrorists, followed by extremist authoritarians / fascists (objective definition, I'm not labelling people here, I mean someone who actually supports a fascist system of government), and then by Jewish terrorists. Sadly, we don't have any hard statistics on Christian terrorism as a whole, but Christian and extremist xenophobia groups, such as the KKK, are indeed still active, having killed hundreds of Americans over the past decade alone, so that's another major problem the police have been struggling to deal with - 74% of police departments, in fact, rank these people as the most dangerous and violent of terrorists. They have been unofficially endorsed by both our president-elect and our vice president-elect, and so predictions for violence from these groups is expected to rise significantly over the next 4 years.

...any other groups, demographics, or religions not mentioned here *pointedly* fail to score within the top 4, such as communists, anarchists and yes, muslim terrorists. That's why these groups receive a minority of the police's attention... correct?

Yes!

There is plenty wrong with big pharma and with the system. But all that big pharma is doing against generics is marketing.

False.

You are doubting the creativity of big pharma. They only need to change the formulation of a mixture and they have something they can sell as unique.

Something nobody wants. Unless they can keep the other stuff illegal, they won't be able to sell it.

There is a recent story about a man regrowing a chopped-off fingertip (bone, flesh, fingernail, even fingerprint!) when he put some "extracellular matrix" derived from pig bladder tissue (which is normally a waste product) onto his fingertip-stub.

So, I wonder if this would work with spinal-cord injuries, and possibly enhanced with electrical stimulation.

Why are we asking if religion is ready for ET when at least one religion (if you count Islam as a religion) can't tolerate Math and/or Science ?

I agree. I am a big fan of Musk and SpaceX but there is no chance in hell that SpaceX would be developing these systems without self-destruct capability. Might as well praise Google for ensuring their self-driving cars have brakes.

Funny that you would choice that considering Google didn't put them in. http://guardianlv.com/2014/08/...

Google has been developing the world’s first driverless car, though their efforts have been restrained by being forced to add a steering wheel and pedals. Originally, the concept of the car was to be able to drive itself, leaving the person in control of nothing, but a single button to begin their route. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California has ruled that drivers must have the ability to take control of the vehicle in case the software malfunctions, there is an accident, or an emergency situation presents itself. Dmitri Dolgov, the lead software engineer of this project, admitted that their technology was not perfect, and the cars had the habit of sometimes going over the speed limit. He explained this by stating the driverless cars had the ability to go 10 mph over the speed limit, as opposed to sticking to it to keep up with traffic. Dolgov’s reasoning behind the cars’ ability to exceed the speed limit was to keep up with the traffic, when it is speeding and avoid road rage or cause obstructions in the road.

Deceleration was the braking mechanism Google chose to use.

Just launch simple, dumb, and cheap unguided rockets from the Gaza Strip. Isreal has an "Iron Dome" defense system that is supposedly pretty effective at stopping them -- at $1,000,000 per shot. Great way to bankrupt an enemy...

That assumes you never take out the rocket launchers, their crews, or the ammunition depots with artillery fire or a bomb. I hear the Israelis have been known to do that. They also intercept the weapons at sea.

Israel Intercepts Iranian Arms Shipment

Last week, commandos from the Israeli naval forces intercepted and captured a Panamanian-flagged civilian cargo ship, called the KLOS-C, in the Red Sea near Sudan. It was carrying 181 mortar shells, around 400,000 rounds of ammunition, and 40 M-302 surface-to-surface missiles with ranges of up to 100-125 miles.

Here is a neat little story that explains it all and why individuals buying bit coin lottery machines are just plain nuts http://guardianlv.com/2014/04/... . Crazy thinking along the lines of "Bitcoin enthusiasts believe Bitcoin will become the worldâ(TM)s reserve currency, replacing the dollar as the international medium of exchange, making them Bitcoin millionaires." often is promoted to hide the typical pyramid scam, which of course is the reality of bitcoin, early comers win and the later comers pay for it.

Imagine if there was a bloodless, non-violent revolution and the media chose not to broadcast it:

Might have been a misunderstanding of this one saying 38% of rape victims are male, which is interesting, but different, from the perpetrator stats he posted: http://guardianlv.com/2014/04/...

Yes, you did miss the expose, there have been hundreds of lawsuits. They went to the supreme court. Farmers who don't use Monsanto's seeds can go out of business from the legal risk they take on. It's a classic protection money racket. You pays your tribute to buy our seeds, or something unfortunate might happen to your crop one day, when our lawyers come to break your kneecaps.

Once the government can start ceasing private assets "for the greater good," they can start taking away a lot more than just physical goods "for the greater good." People in that country are already emigrating en masse, it's only a matter of time until the iron curtain rises.

And by the way, for anybody who still thinks that restricting imports through tariffs and other measures is a good idea for the sake of improving domestic job creation, you'll want to take a good solid look at Venezuela's recent history in the last few months where they've made it extremely difficult to buy foreign goods, and this:

When they say imports and domestic production rise and fall with one another, this is what they're talking about.

Exactly. No more federal money for abstinence-only sex education when independent research shows that it fails in every one of its goals and leads to an increase in teen pregnancy and abortions.

Yes, but at least it doesn't lead to teenage sex.

The Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is currently more than two standard deviations greater than the 1981 to 2010 average according to the NSIDC.

It's funny because it's true.

You've got that right! Cheers!
