Manson's lyrics are often quite intelligent. And often not.
So are Rob Zombie's. So are a lot of lyrics, regardless of genre.
I wonder to what extent the link between metal and the intelligent outcast was found just because researchers were looking and found it "surprising" that metalheads could be smart.
It's the same thought I had about the inflatable space hotel story a few months ago... there you have to deal with increasing space junk. Or Chinese anti-satilite weapons.
I would think most of the space junk (especially that obliterated by Chinese anti-satellite weapons) would fall to Earth, rather than the moon. You know, more gravity and shit.
But this is all good news, because the Chinese will have men on the moon soon, too. Which is even better, because then our astronauts can go to the Chinese inflatable base, buy some Kung Pao chicken and a few crates of cheap DVD players and open an inflatable Wal-Mart.
If I didn't have that vehicle, we'd need four small wind-up passenger cars to haul the passengers and payloads.
So, you're hauling a payload in your SUV. Assuming you're driving something huge like an Excursion, you could fill the back with cargo and then squeeze 6 people in the remaining two rows of seats. So, four cars implies each car has 1.5 and 1/4 of the cargo that will fit behind the 2nd row of seats in an Excursion? I don't think so. If you'd seen the amount of crap I jammed into my Subaru wagon, you'd be amazed.
There are no small, more-efficient vehicles that can go where I can go, and get the people there, too.
I was irritated that my Subaru wagon only got 25 mpg. I could put 5 people and a lot of cargo in there, plus a lot more on the roof, and go almost anywhere in that car. Sometimes, I even did this as a college student.
and not even touching on the wasteful habits of people that use a marginally more efficient tool that you like better.
How is a hybrid only "marginally more efficient" than your massive-capacity SUV?
I grew up in 4x4 trucks, and SUVs when they were still Wagoneers, Scouts, and Broncos. I've driven a VW Bug around 4x4s stuck in the mud many times.
SUVs are not just glorified station wagons. Most are sub-standard station wagons.
A cop is better trained in tactical driving than the average citizen. You may be a good driver, but it is fairly improbable that you have the requisite training to make you safer at speeds higher than the average speed of traffic around you (which *should* be at the posted limit).
So, since I learned to drive on race tracks when I was twelve, have raced hundreds of different cars since, taken stunt driving classes *and* classes normally reserved for police officers -- and was taught to drive by police officers in the first place -- I should be able to accurately assess when it's OK to exceed the speed limit, right?
Wrong. I get no special concession for my driving training and neither should cops.
Of course, I'm willing to alter my POV if I get a "get out of a ticket free" card...
Essentially impossible? Well, you could start by investing in SRI funds from brokers that care about that sort of thing. Like this: http://www.socialfunds.com/
Most things in the Constitution apply to all people, not just citizens, and each word accordingly. "On our soil" is irrelevant. This just makes us look like hypocrites whenever we tell another country that they need to apply basic human rights and not oppress their people. Some example.
Real life has no goal either, unless you've figured out something I haven't.
Can you chat faster in SL if you have a $200 suit on a Poser-rendered export than if you have a nude pennyless stick-figure as your avatar?
Nope, but I do work in SL, my RL company has an office there, and I have various outfits depending on the purpose of my meetings. I also shoot machinima videos in SL and blend them with RL shoots. I'd much rather pay someone to design all the costumes I need than waste my time on designing clothing and such.
I make real money in SL, so I'm not draining my bank account at all.
At least people who buy gold/platinum/adena/pyreals in a MMO like EQ or WoW are usually doing it to save time, rather than mindlessly farm, and that sort of can be understood.
I don't see the difference. It saves me a lot of time to buy a suit in Second Life for 200 Linden dollars (less than a buck) rather than make the thing myself. And the people who sell things can then use that money for other purchases (saving time, also, I suppose). That's a stupid argument.
As for equating mindless farming in WoW to the creation of items in SL that are protected by IP law: want to explain how that's the same thing? One is just that: mindless. The other is actual creation (or coding, if you will). You're missing the point.

Bias, anyone?

Clearly, these bacteria work in my office.
We shouldn't sell our independence and liberty down the river for the sake of some enviromental cause.
Ignoring environmental causes will "sell our independence and liberty down the river" quite thoroughly, thank you.
And I think you have it backward: others are saying "screw the US" because we have said, so often, "screw you."

Wow. I can't wait for moon development!
Have you ever actually heard a gunshot? As in live, in person? I have. Gunshots are very loud.
If you haven't heard a gunshot (as in, heard one only in a movie), you might also mistake a car backfiring for a gunshot...
I'm not sure your math works.

Are you sure that last word is supposed to have a "t" in it?

They're programmed to destroy us...
It is now time for the robot on top of your asteroid to explode.
In this case, just the words "as seen in the city of London" should scare the crap out of all of us.
OTOH, I'm currently posting from China...

That's fine. 600 jobs were lost there. But if they hired 3000 people for the same cost in India, then the U.S. didn't lose 3000 jobs, they lost 600.

I think you're talking about Brazil. Of the 16 countries I've been to recently, none have done this.
