  1. Re:Hard to know what to think of this... on Hungarian Sequencing Company Vets DNA For 'Gypsy Or Jew' Genes · · Score: 1

    Do those parties advocate for a capitalistic society without government intervention?

    No, what you described is known as "liberalism", which, in the US, is generally associated with the center-left.

  2. Re:So, I suspect that a good strong cup of tea ... on Coffee Consumption Strongly Linked To Preventing Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    I believe you are getting in a huff over what is known as "a joke".

  3. Re:But how long before this is actually usable? on Key Gene Found Responsible For Accelerated Aging and Cancer · · Score: 2

    Right, because the only way to become a real adult is to have a kid. What the fuck? If that's your reason for having kids, you probably aren't mature enough to be having kids.

  4. Re:Past generations were already ruined on Are Porn and Video Games Ruining a Generation? · · Score: 1

    Crossbows. In my day, we actually had to draw the string back with our arms, not like today's lazy generation.

  5. Re:"Level playing field" is a sham on NASA's Hansen Calls Out Obama On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Because "compromise", in today's political climate, no longer means both of us meeting at the half-way point, but rather means you compromising and accepting my side of things.

  6. Re:30% off is spot-on on 1981 Paper's Predictions for Global Temperatures Spot-On · · Score: 1

    Hey, this is Slashdot, where any code monkey is an expert on every scientific field!

  7. Re:Why not study the modern, living pygmies instea on Possible New Human Species Discovered In China · · Score: 1

    Just because you aren't reading about something on Slashdot doesn't mean it isn't happening.

  8. Re:Why do I need to add a subject? on Scientists Say People Aren't Smart Enough For Democracy To Flourish · · Score: 1

    So in other words, it's easy to spot an idiot. They're just someone with a differing political viewpoint. Got it.

  9. Re:So says the religious guy. on Santorum Calls Democrats 'Anti-Science' · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, cetaceans also are hairless and lack bacula. Maybe they are actually god's chosen?

  10. Re:Bad summary: the airline, not the government on Damaged US Passport Chip Strands Travelers · · Score: 1

    I find it amusing that Democrats can't seem to talk about Nader without resorting to childish name calling. Great way to win unaffiliated voters to your side!

  11. Re:Daniel Brandt is a loony on Privacy-Centric Search Engine Scroogle Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Hilarious!

  12. Re:Hate it. on Mozart and Bach Handel Subway Station Crime · · Score: 1

    Oh fuck you. I ride the light rail from that station everyday, and it's filled with all varieties of people. "urban despair" is just code for black people. Grow up, they're not going to bite you.

  13. Re:The open question... on 2011 Was the 9th Hottest Year On Record · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heard? We've moved the posts again. It's no longer about whether or not CO2 is causing it, it's now about whether or not this is a good thing.

  14. Re:EAT IT on US Report Sees Perils To America's Tech Future · · Score: 1

    But all my things are cheap Chinese crap. Who in their right mind would want to buy that used?

    Brilliant parody of Slashdot editor's grammatical skills.

  17. Re:Should have gone with single payer.... on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    Even with the mandate, insurance companies will still look for and find loopholes, because those loopholes save them money and are therefore profitable, and at the end of the day, insurance companies are still companies, and profit is the name of the game.

  18. Re:Solution! on Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government · · Score: 1

    I hate that Noone guy, always complaining about everything.

    In America it does.

  21. Re:rageometer on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    As I understand it, the test in America is "Have you got $50?" and does not require any knowledge or skill to pass it.

    You've got it wrong. In addition to the $50, you also have to prove you can parallel park between two orange cones.

  22. Re:Only the beginning on Gray Whale, Southern-Hemisphere Algae Seen In N. Atlantic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Al Gore is, or at least was, a politician. In the U.S., we have what is known as a two party system. Even though those two parties are often in agreement on many issues, the people who vote for those parties can be extremely emotional about their party. Consequently, to maybe 50% of the U.S. population, Al Gore is first and foremost a "Democrat" and therefore the enemy. This makes it incredibly easy to ignore everything he says as lies and liberal propaganda. And that will never change. The issue has now become politicized, there's no going back.
