    Are you telling me you can wire a home with Cat 5e for less than $200?

    ...that can recognize the wire ordering as part of the handshake on device connection. That's the only way you could make smaller connectors and still have it be relatively easy to make up your own cabling.

    Unless of course you were talking about a single organism, which means you were missing the indefinite article. I'm just going grammar NAZI, because there is a common propensity out there for people to use "GMO" when they should be using "GE". But of course those people that are concerned about GMO and GE, don't really care about reality, definitions, or facts. They are more concerned about chemicals, and processing, and radiation.

    Yes it is. In 99.9% of cases it is elective. And don't act like there are no ethical issues surrounding it.

    People aren't allergic to peanuts. They are allergic to a specific protein found in peanuts. The great thing about modifying genes, is that you get to select the specific genes that you want to modify. It's called science, and your irrational fear doesn't change that.

    Using GE to create hypo-allergenic peanuts is the much more likely scenario. At least for those of us that believe in science.

    I think the only option available to you, is for you to produce all of your own food. It's the only way you will actually know what's in it. Let us know how that goes.

    Socialism is only a dirty word to people that understand what socialism is. A single payer healthcare system, does not socialism make. That impressiion that has been forced upon you the entirety of the time you have been politically aware, is wrong.

    Those nations you are thinking of aren't socialist. Socialism isn't the warm, fuzzy, western european welfare state that you are thinking of. Socialism is totalitarian, and it is evil, and it has never been brought to a country by revolution without killing millions.

  24. You sound like a Trump supporter. The only reason it is profitable to leave is because it's too expensive to stay. It's pretty simple. If you want people to do business here, you need to make it easier to do business. Raising taxes until they leave, and then taxing sales they make here after they do that, just fucks everybody over. If a centrally planned and controlled economy really worked, more countries would be doing it.
