I agree, money shouldn't influence results. Yeah, you're right about that one. This is why I prefer to work with bacteria...they never worry about politics:)
It seems you are just as arrogant an American as the rest of us. I was in Japan last year for about 2 months. Although I've never been to the Yasakuni shrine, I have visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial with a Japanese friend. The memorial was suprisingly fair to America, and it must be pretty good to convince a republican Marine of this. I spoke at length with my friend about the bomb. She said, "the winners may write history, but the losers also have their story. They both are slanted." My point is this: There are things like the Yasakuni shrine all over America. I'm not saying it's right, but they are out there. (read Lies Across America) It is the responsibility of US to teach our children not to take everything the government says as true, lest they become part of the ignorant masses. There is a fate even worse than being uneducated. That would be ignorance with an intellectual superiority complex.
Really? Politics has always been in science. This is because without politics there is no money for science. Behind every good scientific project is a person kissing some serious @ss to get it funded.
...and then they put duct tape over your mouth...and there was much rejoicing.
That post was as annoying as the stupid chain letter my mom sends me all the time..."I have no arms and legs and my body is a burlap sack that the cat pees on... but send this to 539 people and I will magically turn into a princess."
I'm SURE this is perfectly legal. It is in international waters, that would mean it does not belong to the queen. International waters are defined as waters that are more than 12 nautical miles (more than a statute mile) from the coastline or the established baseline. These waters belong to no nation. This is why Iran does not just go out and seize ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, especially when they are on the Oman side of the Strait. There are different laws governing the high seas, which even include traffic laws. The queen can do nothing to a vessel operating lawfully in waters to which her laws do not apply. YAR! GIVE UP THE BOOTY!
It seems to me that in this country all cars MUST make some kind of statement about you. "I drive a Hummer so I'm overcompensating." "I drive a soybean-electric-solar car that gets 200 mpg so that makes me a better person than you." Why not just get a reasonable vehicle for adequate transportation and put your statement on a bumber sticker?
You have given the most practical and rational responses yet. This sponge thing may sound like a good idea in theory, but not exactly useful for the majority of applications.
There are many rights guaranteed by the Constitution. We DO NOT, however, have the right not to be offended. Taking harsh action against someone who offends you without actually preventing you from exercising your protected rights is akin to violently hitting a guy who calls you a "stupid head." The reaction only proves he was right.

I may not agree with what you say, but I'm willing to die to protect your right to say it.
If you become a merchant sailor, you can see the world and be paid quite well for it. Another plus to this field is that your coworkers will not look down on you for spending all your money on booze and hookers, mostly because they're doing it right along with you.
Not all speech is protected. Doesn't he know that only rainbows and gummi bears are appropriate topics when not in your house with the radio blaring? Maybe he was fired for talking about that instead of doing what he is paid to do...you know...work.

But it's so small, so very small... I think I'd get more pleasure from sticking my iPod there instead.
Can't they understand the internet is a magical cloud with unicodes and happy 1's and 0's???

Ah yes, I seem to remember this from the fine print on the back of my Z-card. Why didn't I read the fine print before...

That's nice, but I would rather have a link to something more entertaining.
And where would one find a live-in geek to trouble shoot? Do they sell them or something?
Everyone knows that we can stop them but only if Sean Penn agrees to be a human shield. The superpowers of an actor are undeniable!
Touche! How could I have been so insensitive :)

So iPods are going to kill all the honeybees...sweet!
