  1. Probably all the buggy whip makers.

  2. All I have to do is look around slashdot and the current political climate. All i hear is people saying capitalism has failed/is failing.

  3. Like housing.

  4. You are mistaking education for intelligence. Just because a lot of intelligent people have created and extremely awful education system, it doesn't mean that people are becoming more stupid.

  5. Give us an example of the base mechanisms of capitalism failing. Also, what are the base mechanisms?

    You asked "what the fuck is wrong with you people?". I answered. It should be noted that your parent didn't address what the op said. You just don't like being questioned. You're one of those morally superior people that doesn't even have to entertain differing viewpoints because you are so certain that your worldview is the only correct one.

    What is this capitalism thing you speak of? Where is this mythical place where it exists? Gullible people like to blame their ills on capitalism, but really it's a capitalism corrupted by authoritarian socialism that is causing all their problems.

    I was totally with you until you started talking about the jooooos. You should be praising the Jewish hospitals for being up front and transparent.

    The present day is an anomaly, in other words. It will fall back to the norm. Particularly if people let it, or worse, want it to.

    Leftism has trapped itself in a corner. Anything that is not white, Christian, or straight is superior. The only way someone who is white, Christian, or straight can redeem themselves is by submitting to this perceived superiority, thereby making themselves morally superior. And eventually dead.

    This.

  12. That's his point. We are not capable of running this type of simulation.

  13. That's because the hard actionable evidence gets "lost" and then shows up after the statute of limitations has passed lying on a table in the White House Residence.

    There is a big difference between incitement to violence and political speech. The 1st amendment was created specifically to protect political speech.

    Why don't you go read the wiki on Citizens United, and then come back here and post a correction to your statement outlining all the things that are wrong about it.

    But in lower-level elections, money can make a huge difference. Republicans don't control the majority of statehouses by accident - or by popularity. When the public (and the media) are not paying attention, money can easily put you over the top.

    I think that actually when people aren't distracted by the media and celebrities, and can focus on the real issues, the Republican message actually wins out. That's why they dominate at the state level.

    I agree with you that 7 gallons is semi-reasonable. But look at the video, does it look like he has the equivalent of one and a half 5 gallon buckets strapped to his back? Plus that assumes they are getting the same efficiency as a Pratt and Whitney PT6A-42 Turbine. Which I guarantee they aren't. So call it more like 10 gallons for that 4 minute flight.

    I think something is wrong here. It would take nowhere near 1,000 horsepower plus two more engines of unknown output for stabilization to fly a human being. A PT6A turbine engine with 1000,hp output burns .69lb of fuel per horsepower per hour. And it is far more efficient than 6 small turbines. If he was flying on a single 1000hp turbine, he would have burned 50 lbs of fuel in that 4 minute flight. Something doesn't make sense.
