Examining New York's Bioresearch Laboratory

Evangelion quotes from a NY Press story about Plum Island: "'Located just two miles off the tip of Long Island and six miles from the Connecticut coastline, Plum Island is home to a Bio-Safety Level 4 (BSL-4) research facility... During the fifth month of [an Engineer's] strike, a three-hour power outage renewed public interest in the island... Without power, the air filtration systems are inoperable. Without power, decontamination procedures break down. Without power, the seals in the pressurized airlock doors start to deflate. According to one report, workers were desperately sealing the doors with duct tape...'"

    We have enough WMD to destroy the earth 1000 times over, that's PLENTY to wipe out 100% of life (not including cockroaches I guess..).

    http://www.bullatomsci.org/issues/1996/ja96/ja96 nr dc.html

    Assuming that START I and II will be fully implemented, the operational stockpile in the year 2003 is scheduled to be 5,000 warheads, composed of some 3,500 strategic and 950 non-strategic weapons, plus about 500 spares (see the table at right). This total will be split in half between the air force and the navy, with 79 percent overall in strategic forces.

    That's _JUST_ Nuclear. Add Chemical, Biological, and X-type unknown weapons, and you've got A HELL OF LOT of death power.

    "Labs such as the one at Plum Island investigate the effects of disease-causing agents and bioweapons in the hopes that remedies/cures/vaccines/treatments might be discovered.

    Yes, that is what your government would like me to believe....

  4. GNAA Claims Responsibility for Kernel Backdoor by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Raleigh, NC - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced one of their loyal members was responsible for planting the "backdoor" inside the popular opensores operating system, Lunix (Stocks, Websites).

    In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative goat-see revealed that the mistery hacker who penetrated high-security defenses of the Lunix "source code" repository and injected viral gay nigger seed deep inside the kernel was indeed a full-time GNAA member.
    "This is serious," goat-see began. This is a first event of such magnitude since GNAA opened its doors to new members in 1996. Until now, we were gathering new members by announcing our group information on a popular troll website, slashdot.org, but this is a whole new era. By injecting our holy gay nigger seed right into the Lunix kernel, we will be able to immediately collect thousands of members. "Make the most of the next six weeks," he added. "We will grow in numbers more than you can possibly imagine".
    Insertion of the GNAA backdoor came right between the consideration of Novell to buy out the entire Lunix Kernel programming team, and will most likely positively affect the decision. By adding all the gay niggers working for Novell with the gay niggers developing Lunix kernel source, GNAA will be all-powerful and will begin plotting our next plans to add "backdoors" into the next favorite operating system, BeOS.

    Reason, as you use the term, is a mode of thought formalized by the ancient Greeks. It has proven to be wildly successful at certain limited areas of human endeavour. Perhaps you've observed the utter failure of reason in changing the behavior of human beings?

    Common sense, according to you, is denying the existence of a category of entities that EVERY HUMAN CULTURE has believed in. If everyone says the sky is blue and you maintain that the sky is actually a maroon paisley, then I'd suggest that common sense goes against you. I don't say that common sense is always right, but you can hardly maintain that the believe of an overwhelming minority is common sense.

    Now, to take issue with the substance of your claim, that Einstein didn't believe in any divine entity, I'd have to disagree. Note that Einstein (in 1951) is different from Einstein (in 1895). Are you saying that Einstein, at no point in his life, held a belief in the divine? Do you have a source for this?

  6. Fucking unions by ToadMan8 · · Score: 0, Troll

    See, striking workers causing power outages and not caring about spreading disease and chemical agents as long as they get their extra 0.40 $ per hour... Unions are like hundreds of schoolchildren getting together to overthrow the administration when the administration may be annoying but know what's best for the future of the children, the school and education in general. Christ that's dangerous and annoying. It's even worse in the public sector because the employer can't hire permenant replacements for monetarily striking workers. Don't get me wrong, safety or working condition striking unions are completely in the right but for monetary gain.... if you don't like what the market pays get another fucking job.
