    Of course they'll make a profit on it. Our mandatory insurance will cover it. It's basically free!

    When progressive socialist dreams collide, it's a beautiful sight.

    Show me a tunnel project that finished ahead of schedule and under budget. For that matter show me a tunnel project that finished on time, and met it's budget. It's absurd to think this tunnel will be different than every tunnel ever built in human history.

    Yes, it will be hideously expensive, but the wealthy people who buy tickets to get to their important jobs will buy tickets that are massively subsidized by people who will never ride the train. So don't worry about the actual passengers, worry about the state of California.

    Didn't, not doesn't. When a country has state owned oil, cmmunications, transportation, and banking system, that country is socialist. Get a clue.

    Lo and behold, the satellite data has shown no warming for decades, while the "corrected" data shows accelerating warming.

    Replacing insurance companies with the federal government does not cut out the middleman, you idiot.

    Do you know how many ex-goldman Sachs employees have worked for the Obama administration? Have you ever looked?

  11. Well, 9 of 23 state co-ops have gone bankrupt already. We're well pin our way to single payer, as designed.

    Except the old data is ALWAYS altered in the direction that makes the current data look more extreme. Always.

    So really climate scientists altered the old data to make it seem less extreme, and could now claim the current storm is the strongest. Where have we seen that tactic before?

    That's all wonderful. But this thread is about terrorism. Both Islamic bombings and the IRA were mentioned. I provided information relating the two. Old age causes a lot more deaths than depression, why don't you provide data and sources for that too? You may be eloquent and prolific with your words, that does not make them relevant.

  22. Asians don't count towards your diversity quota. They are an over represented group, and their sum should just be added to the caucasian group.

    ...more powerful than the atomic strikes against Japan at the end of World War II was not "narrowly averted". A nuclear detonation requires a very specific chain of events to occur. Which is extremely unlikely on a bomb being dropped from an airplane. The bomb is not even designed to detonate on impact.
