Someday you will wake up and realize that you are stuck here with the rest of us until we clean up our own household.
I realized that long ago, and have done more than a little toward that end. I won't bore you with a biography, but I helped design and implement a waste management program in a mid-sized city that tripled its waste diversion rate. I've also been active politically, and in habitat-protection programs for species at risk.
You don't seem to understand what a tiny percentage of the GDP, peoples' tax dollars...however you want to measure it...goes to space. A workable colony on the Moon or Mars isn't beyond our current or near-future capabilities, and needn't "destroy our own civilization". If that were true, the cost of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would already have done the job. Here's just one suggestion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Direct . There are others as good or better.
You think we can stay cooped up on one little planet with an increasing population and a diminishing pool of resources forever? You really are a small-minded, ignorant little creep, aren't you! Perhaps it's eluded your tiny, uninformed mind, but just about every war ever fought, once all the bullshit is stripped away, is about resources.
Come back when you've educated yourself. Until then, please quit intruding on your betters.
There's never any moderator points around when you really want them. That's one of the best summaries of the shuttle program's failures I've seen. We're still screwing around in Low Earth Orbit when we should be well on the way to putting a Mars colony together, and that's thanks in large part to the shuttle.
...if your basic EULA didn't make most average users believe they had no right to sue somebody who yanked your pants down and offered their ass for sale to the highest bidder.
If you went to see this, you'd want to be very, very sure that the inevitable blast directed at the audience from a male performer actually arrived from the expected direction.
How interesting that some fascist creep decided that this perfectly valid comment is a "troll". What do people think the whole idea behind a "volksdrone" is, no matter what the specific function of individual units might be? It's to address an imbalance of power.
Sadly, it looks like we have a cop loose with moderator points.
It would have been nice to have a few camera-bearing drones bopping around over the recent G-20 meeting in Toronto, out of the immediate reach of gentlemen with badges, batons and guns. The police seem oddly selective about video evidence they use in court and video evidence that somehow goes missing whenever the defense requests it.

Yuppers. That's my point...that there ARE so many retards where you apparently are. I'm proud of you for figuring it out. Would you like something more difficult?
Perhaps their would have been a greater preference for high quality video if they had included...well, you know...among the movies and television shows. Me wants me Jenna Jameson in VERY high definition.

I doubt he'll be going to Texas. There's so many retards there, his only hope would be to look for the occasional accurate sign and put a check mark on it.
The ones a few steps above in the chain of command, of course. But I haven't encountered a lot of ranks at corporal or below who had a good grasp of strategy, and the how/why of decisions at the general officer level. They might bitch and complain in a broad way about the people at the top (who doesn't?), but genuine, hard-core proof that those people are screwing up gains made on the ground isn't common.
Forbidding ordinary soldiers, sailors, airmen and such from reading the documents actually makes a lot of sense. Terrorists already know how utterly witless the US military brass are, so it doesn't matter if they visit Wikileaks and engage in an orgy of downloading. The brass, however, are scared to death that the lower ranks in their own commands might figure out how stupid, cruel and ineffective they are.
Given the number of cops, lawyers and criminals typically found in a court house, it can safely be said that if assholes could fly, that court house would most certainly be classified as an airport.
American corporations have been behaving like welfare queens for decades, and all the while pounding their chests and proclaiming their love of free enterprise. The disgusting part of the whole thing is that the business press is so used to kissing corporate heinie that they never call them on it.
House sparrows, crows, raccoons, squirrels, robins, rabbits, rats, mice, feral cats, coyotes, garlic...the list goes on (and on, and on). All of these undomesticated species do much better with humans around than without. You seem to know what radiation does, but have little idea of what it's operating on.
Although the matter immediately at hand concerned Blackberry, I don't believe India was speaking to that situation. I think, rather, that a broad statement of intent was being made, using Blackberry as a platform. I live less than an hour from that Waterloo assembly plant, and I have a lot of respect for the way RIM has conducted itself. They're one of Canada's very best corporate ambassadors.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I wonder if India's response to Blackberry is part of an effort to present itself as a viable alternative to China for some segments of the medium- and high-tech manufacturing sector. Even with it problems, India has always shown a greater commitment to democracy than China ever has.
Yes, I am. She is able to parallel process and arrive at what she deems an appropriate response simultaneously. That response frequently involves numbers...time, usually, if you catch my drift.
I have to admit that I'm genuinely impressed. This rate of data processing is almost as efficient as my girlfriend when she hears, evaluates and demolishes my alibis.
Interesting perspective; I can't say I disagree. I wonder, though, whether there's a certain amount of voluntary naivety on the part of a lot of shareholders. As I'm writing this, a spokesman for BP's board is stating on the record that they have complete confidence in Tony Hayward. Does anybody with at least two brain cells to rub together believe that?

I love the idea of poking the RFID passport tags. That borders on genius!
