The REAL argument is that the public policy of marijuana criminalization has been an abject failure.
Maybe if we repeat that enough, it'll actually become true. The reality, however, is that the Drug War has been achieving exactly what it was intended to achieve; most of us are just too stupid to realize it.
I don't even think we're capable of driving ourselves to extinction
Apparently you're not aware that all it would take to wipe us out would be for us to stop maintaining the cooling systems of a portion of the world's reactors...
The idea, when engaged in a futile debate with someone who's in the right, is to attempt to distract from the issue at hand... Oh, wait: you tried that; better luck next time, I suppose.;)
Just wait for the sales and you can get that $60 game for $14 (or less).
Not to mention the hardware requirements: while they tend to remain the same (additional horsepower demands from software patches notwithstanding), the costs for said hardware (epecially vidcards) should drop significantly over the [18 to 24 months?] that it takes for a high-profile title to drop over 75% in price...
But how many people did not join up because of information on the Internet?
Me, for one. 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.
But, I don't recall the enormous wailing and hand wringing about the USA losing its abilities in space back during the gap in the 70's like there is today.
That's cause apparently we have no balls now; apparently having them means little to no wailing and hand wringing...
On rare occasions, you have something insightful to offer. However, you're going out of your way in an obvious attempt to demonstrate that this isn't one of these times. I find that mildly interesting...

Hardly; cokeheads will just argue you to death... and in an altogether humorless fashion at that.

Who the fuck needs a key to get out of their house??

Is it easier type that with a straight face when you post anonymously? :)

it would have work hard at it, given the lazybone habits of americans.
You're going to have to work harder at it, considering you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
but not enough to affect the outcome of whatever is going on.
Rest assured it only seems that way because we don't know what their actual long-term objective is.
Or you might have forgotten that while there was the [lightweight] SL, there was also the SEL...
I'm thinking you might have a limited grasp of your own language, 'cause you clearly don't entirely understand what you're even responding to...
The only thing to fear is fear itself.
Hence its supreme usefulness to government agencies.
but at some point drones need to land to do their job. Also, they need to be procured in the first place. States do have ways of enforcing this.
"California: We have a way of enforcing that you land... and that your drone be procured in the first place."
Now that's some nonsense that I could see California enacting... but I don't think it's what you meant.

Nevermind causation vs correlation?? Sounds reasonable enough to me; I'm right with you. ;)
There seems to be a cultural and/or quasi-generational disconnect where people think that merely talking is the same thing as actually speaking...
Chinese or aliens, my first thought was Cartman had better clinch-up his sphincter or his dark matter's gonna get probed...
Wait, Carly's female? I thought she played Severus...
I see bigotry for the southern US is alive and well here on Slashdot
Not nearly as much as it amongst those of us who've had the misfortune of spending time in the place...
but that never eventuated
Your casualizing new usagenesses for words has me wondering if you ended up straight onto the Internet without actually attending through K-8th...

How is that little trick performed?
Duh: having a cushion of air inside the capsule would obviously reduce G-forces; think about how a shock absorber works.
(Alright, kid but I wonder how many right-brained, artistic types would have been taken-in by my simple "logic?" *grin*)

I'm still waiting for the "National Sheep Association" jokes...

Ratzo, how many /. user accounts do you have, anyway?
