Sorry, i've learned my lesson pushing random red buttons. I still argue that a button that will vaporize 1/3rd of a planet from the core out SHOULD have had better protection from people like me, or at least a label with a warning. FINE, a label with a warning in MY language!
Seriously, though, isn't this taking "lazy" to a whole new level? Or have we been at that level, and no one mentioned it to me?
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
....except the word "explicit" does not appear in the text, and the courts have routinely held that people pushing that position are simply fucking idiots (paraphrasing, but still an accurate description). Why is it that dumbfucks like you who bring up the constitution so much don't have a fucking clue about it?
"it was impossible to confine a Government to the exercise of express powers; there must necessarily be admitted powers by implication, unless the Constitution descended to recount every minutia." - - James Madison
Yeh... that's not actually how it works. Why is it there's so many fucking idiots in the US who, like you, never met a civics or US history class they could pass? However, even playing along with your fucking idiocy, the 14th Amendment comes after the 10th Amendment, so even by your fucked in the head idiotic logic, you're still fucking wrong.
Civil rights are not subject to popular vote.... it's WHY we have a bill of rights in the first place, to keep a majority from using tyranny of the majority to curtail a minorities rights.
You fucking idiots need to learn a little history.
Any given state's constitution is subservient to the US Constitution. Period. Anyone who thinks differently is either completely ignorant, or simply a fucking idiot. The US constitution is not in place to empower the majority to be able to use tyranny of the majority to subjugate the rights of the minority; the Bill of Rights IS in place to keep that from happening. Madison always said he saw no need to enumerate a bill of rights, as he never thought citizens would sink to trying to strip others of their rights. Clearly Madison didn't foresee the complete fucking asshats that some worthless fucks would become.
Well, that's not entirely accurate.... she can rightfully claim that she's the reason HP's stock went up: http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/0...
Personally i like this part....
"The stock is up a bit on the fact that nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much," said Robert Cihra, an analyst with Fulcrum Global Partners. "The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."
Seriously, what drugs are you on? If you actually think "freedom works it all out on its own," you're either fried on massive amounts of mind altering drugs or a fucking idiot.... and that's being generous.
That assumes he knew about Romney and Koch, while considering Koch and Romney conservatives(not all do).
It what bizarro world are those two not conservatives?
Well, considering we have a faction in this country who would make Mussolini look like a radical leftist, i suppose it's the anti-intellectual, anti-education bizarro world we're stuck in in the US currently; Sinclair was right about the whole wrapped in a flag and carrying a bible thing.
What i find most amusing is when the idiots trot out that Lincoln was a republican, therefor all the ills of the world are because of democrats... their lack of education and common sense really divorces them from the reality that Lincoln would be considered radical left in todays politics; although to be fair, so would Reagan.... 11 tax increases, amnesty for illegals, gun control.... Reagan's damn near Marx's twin!!!111!!1.
Ultimately it's not so much a bizarro world that thinks Koch and Romney aren't conservative, it's a bunch of loud and whiny complete fucking imbeciles.... they simply yell their stupidity really loud in hopes that reality doesn't get a good enough grip on them to pull their heads out of their ass. Personally i give them a lot more credit than that... their heads are so firmly planted up their 6 that nothing will ever get them popped free.
Other opponents have included Senator Ted Kennedy,[57] Sen. John Kerry, former Gov. Mitt Romney, and businessman Bill Koch,[58] who has donated $1.5 million to the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound.

But after more than a dozen years, the $2.6 billion proposal remains on the drawing board, thanks in large part to the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, of which Mr. Koch is chairman.
That kind of stumped me too; if it's replacing O2 with methane for respiration, that line really makes no sense. I put it down as the summary writer mistaken a phrase in the article as saying the cells were nitrogen bases, as opposed to carbon based... which isn't actually what the article says.
That said, the idea of using a different base for respiration doesn't really require much imagination. We use oxygen because that's the environment we evolved in; any life evolving in an atmosphere without oxygen will use something else. Even advanced life forms could use non-oxygen molecules for respiration, the only requirement being that whatever their circulatory system used could bind with, and carry, the molecule (making the very limiting assumption that their system would work similar to ours).
We have on our planet microbes that do not respirate oxygen, and are in fact killed by an oxygen atmosphere. Our advanced oxygen breathers are not even limited to a single carrying element. Sure, the land O2 users have iron based blood, but there is O2 "breathing" sea life that has copper based blood (and no, it's not green.... Roddenberry got that wrong), and others with a copper/vanadium hybrid based blood (which is green, but a bright yellow green).
Life will use what's available; no oxygen... probably not problem.
Just how safe are rights such as gay marriage when ones explicitly protected by the US Constitution are ignored?
Because the entire point of the 2nd Amendment was to make sure the government didn't outgun the population.
For obvious fucking reasons.
Note the word "explicitly" in his comment.
my response:
Which "explicitly protected" rights have been ignored here? Please cite the exact phrase in the Constitution/Bill of Rights that mandates Fed-Ex ship his packages.
Thank you for pointing out that i am correct.
As for the Motor Carrier Act of 1935, shipping something via Fed-Ex may, or may not, be covered under that (i would make the base assumption that a package sent strictly "fed-ex ground" probably is, but that gets into a lot of details that not only am i not privy too, but i imagine could change at any given time in the shipment of any given package); it may well be covered under the umbrella of domestic air carriage. Interestingly enough, those rules don't apply to domestic air carriage because of deregulation in the past 30-40 years (i personally find that to be humorously ironic in this specific situation).

As for your stupidity regarding the second amendment: the second amendment was adopted to ensure that members of the state militias had weapons should they be called up.
Either you mistakenly replied to my post instead of someone else's, or you fall squarely in the categories of: "can't read," "doesn't understand basic English," and "stupid." You may correct the former, or more firmly entrench yourself in the latter at your leisure.
Whoever wrote the lead-in either can't read, doesn't understand basic English, or is a semi-science-literate who's butthurt for being called out as one. Nye hit's it pretty much on the head in his assessment... we have some fantastic scientists in this country, but they are surrounded by a huge morass of people who are intentionally ignorant and outright hostile to anything remotely intellectual; we need more scientists in this country, and less stupid.
Why is there an article on/. about diets? I mean, really? Mountain Dew, Cheetos, pizza, nachos, doughnuts, and coffee; everything else is just moot for this crowd.
I would suggest that, once again, things mentioned as "government fraud" are actually that great free market taking advantage of a situation. The "government" doesn't market products as gluten-free, low-fat, or reduced fat, nor do they go around throwing extra water and various thickeners into foods.... private companies do. So while the government puts forth guidelines to help people based on the CURRENT best nutritional science, it's PRIVATE COMPANIES who do everything you're blaming the government for.
Tell you what though, that big nasty corrupt government also has guidelines for the limits of pesticides, arsenic, and all sorts of toxic substances found in your drinking water too. If you want to really impress on me how much you think our government is always wrong, please be my guest to start drinking water with massive amounts of those things in it, and get back to us in a month of two.
I can't tell if you're trying to be funny, or if you are actually as stupendously ignorant about science as you're post portrays you to be.... it's very hard to tell in writing. I generally try to give people the benefit of doubt, but i get the vibe you're not trying to be funny.
Science is based on observation and experimentation. What that means is, the more exacting observations we make, and the more fine tuned our experimentation, the more precise our knowledge becomes... that's pretty basic, 4th-6th grade level science. If you want something that once said never, ever changes, regardless of new information, then stick to religion.
