    Maybe you should try reading the fucking news, if the summary wasn't enough for you. "The 14-year-old's day ended not with praise, but punishment, after the school called police and he was arrested. " http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/...

    No one was arrested in Denver for that.

    Boston Lite-brite?? You mean where the two individuals were arrested for breaking a law that states that "it is illegal to display a 'hoax device' with the motive to cause citizens to feel threatened, unsafe, and concerned"?

    If you can make the argument that a similar law exists in Texas, and this kid had a motive of "causing citizens to feel threatened, unsafe, and concerned," then you might have a valid argument.

    Most of those trolls actually do have jobs; they're just convinced they'd be making more $$$ if the current Congress and/or president weren't so whatever it is they're angry about. In other words, Archie Bunker.

    ... What? Is 4G too slow for "machines to communicate instantly without any human intervention"?

    O RLY? 4G is way too slow for real-time traffic.

    Are you having an argument with yourself?

    The only reason you used the word "butthurt" is because, and I quote, you're one of the "total douchebags who don't have a creative or original bone in their body to troll on someone who expresses the slightest displeasure in anything"

    oh no, you called me butthurt! boy that really showed me.

    butthurt: use of this is an instant way to let the entire online world that you're a complete idiot. Originally a crass way to make fun of someone who is irrationally upset about something, is now used by total douchebags who don't have a creative or original bone in their body to troll on someone who expresses the slightest displeasure in anything.

    You brought the "party politics" into a Snowden discussion, "bro." Nice projection.

    Thanks for taking a Snowden discussion off onto your tangent of "Hillary sucks!" Real helpful. Did you vote for George W, too? That guy with all the accomplishments to his name?

    Great, you've connected Snowden to MLK in a comparison that says they both risked their lives for what they believed in, and a greater good. Of course, the fact remains that one risked being killed by his own government, and the other was killed by a psycho racist citizen. The original poster claimed "He is not on the same level as Rosa Parks, Susan B Anthony or Martin Luther King Jr." - clearly he risked way more than 2 of those 3. We're getting on a pointless tangent here.

    Yes, really. You're a troll. The fact that you don't recognize this in yourself does not make you less of a troll. Hopefully, being on slashdot is helpful in this regard, since other people can point it out to you.

    You didn't "cite" anything. You pulled two theories out of your ass, one of which was wildly off-base, and going by that, why would I think your second theory had any merit, seeing as how you're an idiot?

    That is a fair point. However, not knowing the difference while simultaneously trying to act like some kind of authority on whether or not the honeybee/bumblebee populations are in trouble, is surely a special kind of stupidity on the OP's part.

  14. Re: Hooray! on Bumblebees Being Crushed By Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Well, judging by your level of education in this matter, as you don't know the difference between bumblebees (the subject of the article) and honeybees (the subject of your multiple anti-global-warming-crusade posts), I think we're done here.

    Why should I edit your inaccurate original claim, when you've already confused honeybees with bumblebees?

    Nice non sequitur. I was referring to your completely off-the-mark claim that pesticides were killing bees. Once I read that claim, it's hard to believe that there's any sort of logic or science behind your other claim.

    To be blunt: it appears you might be just pulling stuff out of your ass.

    Since the range migration started happening "even before the neonicotinoid pesticides came into play in the 1980s,” both of your theories seem to not be relevant to this particular article. Especially the wacky cellphone tower tinfoil hat guy.

    Please at least try to RTFA next time.

    If I'm reading your multitude of comments on this subject correctly, you're saying, "fuck the wild honeybees, private industry will just make more of them and truck them around more and everything will be okay. yay capitalism!"
