Junk science is a right-wing global warning denial hack rag. I would put that page right up there with a "creation science" web page...or, for that matter, a web page trying to argue the earth is flat. Slashdot has really gone to the toilet. We used to have famous people posting here. Now we just have a bunch of right wing nutcases moderating up Republican pseudoscience.
When Steven Milloy spreads lies and bullshit on behalf of those who would poison their own mothers to make a buck, at least he separates them from some fraction, however minuscule, of their billions. "Attila Dimedici", on the other hand, apparently provides this service for free.
Are you advocating the opposite, that the EPA should be able to issue regulations based on non-science?!
The Fox Propaganda school of debating, that assumes that Republican legislation is about what it says it's about. This law must be about sound science and cannot possibly be about tying up any possible regulation in court until doomsday. See also: Voter ID, "Patriot" Act, War on Civil Liberties^W^WDrugs.
Oh, this bill was sponsored by Republican candidates, so it must be bad, because we all know that all Republicans are anti-science, bloodletting phrenologists.
Democrats are not pushing creationism or global warming head-in-the-sandism. Todd Akin with his "legitimate rape" bullshit is not a Democrat.
And, of course, Obama and the Democrates are all open and transparent and honest!
One, you are not going to get rich as soon as Big Gubmint gets out of your way. Two, Paris Hilton is not going to sleep with you. Three, every word that you hear from talk radio and Fox Propaganda is a lie, including "and" and "the".
Four, no one said that "all large companies are evil"; but when plutocrats raid pension funds, dump poison into the air and water, rig the laws in their own favor and deny people lifesaving medication, that is evil. If that is not evil then there is no such thing as evil.
But keep on ranting about Feelthy Queers and Dirty Jezebels and all the other bogeymen that Rush Limbaugh tells you to hate.
2.... d4 seems suitably aggressive; the black queen backs her pawn up, the white king can't.
3. Bd3? Gates is trying to protect his pawn (and preparing to castle), but ends up blocking in his black bishop; better is 3. d3.
3.... Nf6
4. exd5? Qxd5 lets the black queen out of her hidey-hole.
5. Nc3 Qh5 White tries to play queen-be-gone, but the queen is happy to be on her way.
6. 0-0? Dude, with the queen sitting on h5? 6.... Bg4 after the knight on f3.
7. h3 trying bishop-be-gone; perhaps White should have played this instead of castling. 7.... Ne5 again contending for f3.
8. hxg4 Nfxg4 aiming for h2 while keeping an attack on f3. The only thing that saves White at this point is 9. Re1 giving the king an escape route and developing the rook. Anything else and, at best, 9.... Nxf3+ 10. Qxf3 or gxf3 Qh2#. But White played about the worst move he could have made:
So you're saying it's pointless to "voluntarily abstain from sex until you're in a relationship where the couple are committed enough to care for a child"? If you have sex, then fine but be responsible for all the consequences. Abstaining until marriage is a 100% guarantee that no babies will happen.
And if we all work for the common good and refrain from selfish ambition, we can live in a Marxist utopia.
Marxism and abstinence-only edumakashun both fail, and for the same reasons. Now how about some policies that deal with people as they are, not how either Karl Marx or Pat Robertson would like them to be?
When these people have a kid, there is no incentive to not have another one. Most reasonable people should know what they can and can not afford and provide for themselves.
How's that abstinence-only edumakashun working out for you?
The Republican rank and file were fine with the "Patriot" Act, and were the ones calling people America-hating terrorist sympathizing Muslim Communist traitors.
The Republican rank and file believe in personal choices as long as the personal choices are approved by Bible-thumping fundamentalists.
Don't hand me that line of bull about being against "excessive intrusion into people's personal choices".
1) The EISA passed both houses of Congress with a veto-proof majority, one of the last times the Democrats and Republicans agreed on anything. Y'all were fer it before you were agin' it.
2) B. Hussein Osama was part of that veto-proof majority. So yeah, he's marginally more responsible than george w. bush for takin' yer light bulbs.
Fine. Let's swarm every corner of this country with Homeland Security goons to collar anyone who looks a little brown, ask him Sus papeles, por favor, and beat the mierda out of him when he answers in English, all in the name of freedom. Let's build the Great Wall of Texas.
And the Tea Party can be the ones to propose some taxes to pay for it all.

I REAL capitalism, when you screw over your customers, they leave you and go to the competition.
Which is selling you exactly the same shit sandwich as the company you left.

Because the NSF has so much more money to spend than ExxonMobil.

However, the actual argument many Republicans make is completely different, namely that these government programs actually hurt people.
Somehow government largesse doesn't actually hurt Monsanto, or Halliburton, or Northrup Grumman.
Remember when the GOP stood for unfettered liberty, not only for economy but also for you, when your personal liberty was paramount?
There was a time when Republicans believed in freedom. Then Lincoln got shot.
Your a grommet* aren't you?
His what a grommet? And why this sentence no verb?

Some people exist as a warning to others. Don't make the choices they made.
They haven't been trapped their whole lives. They made really bad choices early.
Like being born from the wrong womb.
Unions are ridiculously powerful in the US,
If you're smoking something, it needs to be legalized. If you're just glued to Fox "News", you need to turn it off.
Maybe you shouldn't pump out multiple kids
