As for denial, one victim is enough already. That settles it. Let them talk on the details as they want, they are details.
Some Holocaust deniers argue that it happened at a much lower scale than commonly believed. While a small number of murders still sucks, it's better than a large amount of murders. So discussing scale is important.
Yes, Holocaust denial is an interesting test of free speech. Do anti-Holocaust-denial laws martyr such people (at least in their minds) as "OMG my free speech is being stifled"?
NB - I think denial's at least as nonsensical and illogical as other conspiracy theories, with higher gravitas
Even simple cooking (spaghetti, pancakes, burgers, et cetera) can save you so much trouble, but I've already figured *that* out I don't see the need for fancy cooking much like I don't see the need for fancy clothes or something like that. Nevertheless, the alternative approach described may still interest me.
exactly - "it's obvious" snarkiness seems to be an example of attitudes from people confused about the nature of science Either that, or they know science and mark stuff like this as a lower priority considering limited research resources. There is some value in the details of what seems obvious, even if the basic premise holds
Heh, one of my FB friends (old highscool classmate) does indeed kinda flog his music-producer business although he does have some non-business posts in the mix. However, it's natural to expect people to talk about something they're enthusiastic about, financial or not
For some reason, my earbud set came with only one earbud; annoying though this may be, as a side effect, it leaves the other ear open to hear normal environmental noise a bit better.
Physical stamps are still quite available, but the postal clerks use number-and-barcode labels, particularly for items with an unusual postage charge (if it's a standard letter [44c], for instance, they might just grab a 44c stamp from the drawer, but if it's something like $2.63, they'll print out a barcode label rather than dig for exactly $2.63 worth of stamps)
There's also click-and-ship (print shipping labels online), which essentially combines a computer-printed address label with barcode postage. [I like that because it saves the trouble of handwriting addresses and customs info, can be done from home at my convenience, and it's a few percent cheaper as well.]
I have a computing habit about equal to that of some couch potatoes, and that's one thing I do point out: at least the computer is/can be active instead of passive, at least more often than the TV is active-thinking For instance, I tend to like strategy games.
yes, big business is preferable to organized crime even if it ain't the theoretical optimum...this is actually a component of the "legalize drugs" argument: it cuts off much of the most-objectionable drug-dealing-related behavior, such as that kind of violence
Woodrow Wilson (US prez at the time) wasn't so keen on the harsh terms that his European counterparts were. So maybe we shouldn't have ignored that particular American. Granted, he could have compromised to get past Lodge's objections in the Senate.

if he hadn't have been there he never would have believed humans could be such sick bastards.
maybe that helps fuel denial - mass murder in the millions is literally incomprehensible.

the reminder of the ctrl+k hotkey earns you a virtual +1 Informative. :)
that's what I was about to say; it does save a click in not having to head to the search site, I guess it saves me these bells and whistles as well.
in all seriousness, a device could cure cancer or something of similar importance to humanity, but people will first think of sexual applications. :)

Sheldon: That's not even your franchise!
[Okay, Spaceballs was a parody of Wars, so this kind of fits.]

Many great classic rock bands seem to be composed of 4 or 5 Englishmen. :P There's that, at least. :)

the fancy word for "stamp collecting", nothing more.
Nice derivative work there. :)
Better than just parroting the lines (pun intended)
I knew of Ryanair's cheapness, but I didn't see anything like this coming.
I might go along with this, but the rational manager in me would recognize that many people (such as various /. commenters) wouldn't.

"Fsck it, I don't really need soggy pizza rolls anyways".
government regulation or no, that's why I warm most stuff up in the toaster instead.
QFT. +1 Insightful if I had points left.
I was quite willing to have fun in the sun all day for the Lollapalooza music festival; I might have felt the same about a Colbert stunt.
cool comment; where's it from?

very useful for organizing my collection of concert bootlegs...er, school documents (well, those too)
you said it less politely than I did, but I was thinking much along the same lines.
add this to a long list of things I ought to read sometime...
yes; but is the vastly improved corporate governance you speak of a pipe dream? :(
