    Sure it does.
    9.8 m/s of acceleration up. While standing still.
    Sensors installed upside down should have been reading it as the rocket accelerating backwards, or "Down", or "Braking".

  3. They do not have to have their arguments hold up logically.
    They "Feel" it is correct. If you attempt to use logic to attack their "Argument" then you will be yelled at with higher and higher volumes till you give up.
    They then get to "Feel" that they won.

    Not saying it is right or wrong on the issue of gay marriage, but ...
    Technically ...
    Gay or straight the rights are equal. Men and Women can marry a member of the opposite sex.
    Straight men can not marry straight men, and gay men can not marry gay men. Therefore it is "Equal Treatment".

    This is just because you are looking at the story to early.

    Later on after finding the culprit gene damaging her body the good parent uses all of his skills to create a mutation that will protect her and her children from ever having any malady or cancer ever again. He then hatches a plan to infect the entire world with his creation and saving humanity from the pain of disease.
    The only cost is looking a little lizard like.

    Spiderman though being such a vain asshole decides that the good parent trying to save humanity from pain is just making everyone ugly like his daughter murders the man and calls him an evil Supervillian.

    Now, All is well.

    There is no situation in which having the ability to use this license is a bad thing.
    In some cases it may not be the license you want to use or the best one to use, but having the choice to use the license when it benefits you is not a bad thing.
    Also since this licenses is designed to be useful to some businesses there are no "Sheep" out there to exploit.

    Good try but next time to attempt to argue a point use some facts that fit the case you are arguing.

    Good choice on posting AC though. Would not want to let stupid statements like that to ever be tied to you.
