    Except bat boy has no tort, .

    Hey, we don't need that sort of language here. Kids could be reading this page. At least use the medical term for batboy's body parts.

    Get off the computer, go outside.

    Why is this modded down? The poster has very adeptly answered a very silly question.

    ... because Heinlein just lacked the required critical faculties.

    That's right. Heinlein was a simple idiot who stumbled upon storylines that he didn't understand, and wrote novels of things he had no ability to comprehend.

  5. He was all based around the leader principle.

    Are you referring to the Fuehrer Principle?

    Or is there a different principle that is using the English word 'leader' and not the German version of the word.

  6. You're so smart to figure out that "there is no race, we're all humans", but you still want to use the term 'racism'. And you act like the poster before you is the stupid one.

    Only the shitty movie had that. The novel had a far more subtle message.

    Wrong
    In any election this close, voting 3rd party IS aiding the slimiest, most despicable fraud ever to run for President...

    No, I'm not voting for Hillary either.

  13. I accidentally throw my phone on the ground once or twice a month, usually pretty hard.

    Throwing is a very intentional act. How do you "accidentally" do that?

    He's actually aiming for the bucket of soapy water, but accidentally falls short.

  14. I really do hope it fares much better than Hubble's initial deployment. There's certainly a lot that can go wrong during development or deployment. But if all goes well, I'm looking forward to seeing what images are captured from the edge of the visible universe.

    I'm guessing they will see this. (Safe for work.)

    So, are you just too busy to read? Or are your panties in such a bunch you refuse to?

    Third option: You're too stupid to understand, that's why you support Hillary.

  16. Where do you find harpsichords nowadays?

  17. That sounds a bit like my attitude regarding being afraid of heights, and afraid of falling. I repeat a line I heard people say before me, that it isn't the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. With that in mind, I don't fear falling when I am up on a roof or ledge. I hold on as needed, but I don't cling to the wall. Not being afraid of falling lets me walk and move fluidly.

    Usually when I explain this to people they think I'm full of shit, because falling still means dying. But I haven't fallen yet, so I consider it to be working.

    That brings up an interesting point. What sort of investigation into Clinton's email did the FBI do? It seems probable that her staff handled about 99% of Clinton's email. I'm no FBI agent, but it seems to me that if you're investigating Clinton's emails, you'd seize and search her closest aide's computer, and probably all of her staff's computers on the very first day.

    That's the thing. No one is allowed to do such a thing to a Clinton. So, it wasn't.

    I do apologize for using your previous post for childish sniping. It was all in good fun.

    And considering the continued attacks against Obama, McCain, Palin, and Romney, I doubt things will settle down any time soon.

    The best part about your childish "Nu-uh. You are!" posting, is that I am voting for Jill Stein, just like I did in 2012. I think she is the best person running this cycle, and I have made this point many times recently.

    As to my post above, I just couldn't help but take a dig at Hillary. Really, it didn't even follow from the post by 93 Escort Wagon. But is sure got your panties in a bunch.

    I didn't know you worked at the Clinton Foundation.

  23. The real fun part is that I have my own idea of who is a wrong choice, and I probably disagree with both of you, whether you two agree with each other or not.

  24. Where is your evidence that groups of people are more often wrong than not?.

    It logically follows from knowing that for thousands of years, one idea after another about the universe was discarded as new ideas came around. The modern set of "scientific knowledge" is simply the latest round of new ideas, and it is constantly changing in small ways here and there.
