Do bear in mind that your enlightened attitude towards "your enemies," which goes along beautifully with both Buddhist as well as Christian teachings, isn't likely to go-down all that well with the vast majority of "Christians" - hell, that word probably just ought to be left in quotes from now on!;)
I just want to know how many people I need to off to get a free three-room pad and three free (and likely quite tasty) "hots" a day, not to mention video games... do you suppose getting the warden to agree to cough-up for a Vive and a couple of high-end cards in SLI would be out of the question??
This might contain information that we can't readily put to use but it's nonetheless profoundly insightful, even if on a purely abstract level. If you down-modded it, you're a spineless brain-washed conformist but perhaps more to the point, you embody attributes that are as un-American as it gets. Please fuck off and die; you literally owe it to everyone else.
I hate tobacco as much, if not far more, than the next person but there's no need to be so hateful towards smokers; rest assured their own self-loathing - due to their inability to quit - is more than adequate.
The problem is that it says what the prohibitionists are doing is actually quite harmful and increases rape and other problems.
So the prison industry would have a vested interest in siding with the prohibitionists? (Though phrased as a question, I don't believe an actual answer is required...)
Mod up and remember, everyone... we don't have to actually like a point to agree with it: I was picturing every male in rural Yemen - or southeastern Oklahoma. - getting access to Scandinavian-style porn at fiber speeds...
Good God, man... women, children, neighborhood dogs... no one would be safe.
It certainly isn't, nor would an anemic comeback like that - or, for that matter, other posts by the parent - have been modded-up under ordinary circumstances. In fact, the sheer volume of desperate shilling going on strongly suggests that this particular topic might be of actual interest (I for one am on the fence, as there's nowhere else to sit for a rational-yet-openminded skeptic)... but the shilling and the bullshit mods certainly make me wonder...
Well, obviously. They've got to play it down because, um... because if they don't cut the feed and discourage the whackjobs, um.. there'll be a massive load on NASA's servers... and as so eloquently pointed out above, they simply don't have the budget for that kind of nonsense.
I find it downright hilarious that this got down-modded; surely it would be less obvious just to let the "UFO nuts" spew their nonsense without feeling the need to send out the shills??:)
And what kind of an idiot would reject 72 virgins.
Actually, I covered this in detail several months back (this was quite popular so I'm shamelessly reposting it - if you haven't gathered, I'm nothing if not shameless):
When they showed up at the door, at first I thought they were Mormons (Jehovah's Witnesses tend to dress a little shabbier). The only way I could tell they were actually Isis was when I saw the little star-and-crescent pendants they were wearing. In any case, I invited them in and we discussed the ins and outs of their theology over a couple rounds of scotch I had tucked away for just such an occasion (I thought they might balk at the offer but they said that while it was okay for their suicide bombers to drink, recruiting is considered such a shitty assignment that drinking is pretty much encouraged). Anyway, after our conversation had run its length, we had a cheerful departure and I watched them slowly weave down the driveway in their bullet-ridden Hilux (barely managing to avoid snagging their bed-mounted 50-cal on a low-hanging limb). When I'd gone back inside, I sat down and spent some time researching on the Internet, giving careful consideration to the various merits of their belief system (there were more than a few, I assure you), However, in the end I decided that while having to wear a long beard would suck (too itchy) and I don't much care for the thought of eating goat (their eyes weird me out), being outnumbered by 72 virgins would be the real deal-breaker: Six dozen entitled, passive-aggressive little bitches that are guaranteed to be terrible in the sack (being virgins and all)... no thank you.

Just the names of those models merits his ass stepping the hell down.

One word: meltwater.
Sorry, the word "not" should've been italicized, not "beer."
That would likely be hard liquor and not beer.

there is evidence that excessive masturbation results in hair loss
Loss? I thought it just migrates to the palms.
But but but...the human body is bad!

What are you suggesting, that the phrase "Jack Mormon" has an altogether different meaning? ;)
LOLOL, Utah??! Come on; he's totally spot-on... if, that is, he was to replace the word "porn" with the phrase "psyco-stupid religious cults."
Thanks for the link; I just threw 'em some cash.
The comments are retarded to the point of insanity but the fact that they're being aggressively up-modded is... very interesting to say the least.
You were saying?

The desperation evident in playing this down is extreme; some of the most illogical posts I've ever read on /. are modded +5...
Plumes aren't likely to rise above the atmosphere...
...it goes down about 25 times per hour
Damn, that's a lot of UFO's... ;)

I strongly suspect you're wasting your efforts but I commend you for trying.
