I say it's about time we tell all those global warming quacks to shut the hell up. Christ almighty they just can't make up their minds, assuming of course they have one. Green house gasses bad for the environment, removing green house gasses bad for the environment, farting cows are bad for the environment. Next thing they are going to say is the breathing is bad for our health.
Plus the whole "moral relativism" thing. Once people accept that morals are relative, the idea that there is a god who dictates morality disintegrates, along with some of the Popes power/influence.
It is not God that dictates morality it is the so-called church leadership that dictates morality. God just sits back and watches the show then turns and says, "Jesus why did I ever create man." To which Jesus replies, "Well father we did try to warn you. But hey look on the bright side...at least they are entertaining. Pass the popcorn will you?"
You silly little Earthlings, what makes you think that this puny little under developed planet that you infest like locusts is of any interest to the more advanced life forms in the Galaxy?
Who says kids need to be supervised? I was left without supervision as a young adult on lots of occasions. I still have all 10 fingers and toes.
But then again, my parents gave me repsonsibility and consequences for my actions from a very young age. It's time to stop treating young adults as toddlers, and give them a bit of leeway to be just what they are. Young Adults.
Good for your parents, that's the way parenting should be today. But unfortunately it isn't because of the meddling of outside groups. These days especially in Washington State parents aren't allowed to be parents. As soon as a parent exerts any sort of parental authority the kid cries foul and woosh CPS flies in with their superhero capes and whisks the child away...Oh excuse me...Division of Children and Families (insert sarcasm here), Child Protective Services is no longer politically correct (sticks finger down throat).
I hope they put a sever-ability clause in the bill because there is one part in the original post that is already unconstitutional. The part that imposes new taxes on high income earners, unless I am remembering the constitution wrong any bill which contains new taxes "must" originate in the House of Representatives and not the Senate.
I've never like Apple any way. This move just sends the message that Apple thinks the end-user is a complete moron and in capable of accepting the responsibility for their own computing decisions.
Software Licensing issues asside, when I buy computer it is mine and absoluely no one is going to tell me what I can and can not put in it. I and I alone am responsible for its computing health. No matter how hard they try to idiot proof something there will always be at least one idiot to prove them wrong. Beside safes computing isn't Rocket Science and it is even simpler than A^2 + B^2 = C^2.
Have we really deteriorated to the point where a supposedly educated person believes that an 11 year old has the intelligence to safely make a bomb? I know we got some pretty smart kids out their but with the state of the American education system get real. That vice-principal is the one that needs counseling or at the very least put in the corner with a dunce cap on. MORON!
This is nothing more than sensationalism, plain and simple. And for the record it's not a Black Hole that "may" be created it will be a Quantum Singularity. Which as we all know was invented by the Romulans to power their interstellar vessels; however, we have never been able to duplicate their technology.
Therefore, it is illogical to assume that the Earth will be destroyed since the energy consumed in the creation of said hypothetical quantum singularity can not be maintained. And since the reaction of the particles in question will be contained inside a magnetic chamber it is unlikely that a chain reaction will occur outside the said chamber. Resulting in a dissipation of unharness energy at the conclusion of the experiment thereby quelling the irrational fears of the uneducated and ignorant.
Even if a remote possibility exists that a hypothetical quantum singularity is created and would somehow be stable enough and powerful to consume the Earth. It would also be powerful enough to consume the rest of our solar system. In any case it hardly matters if such a hypothetical situation is even possible since the irrational quorum of imbeciles have already concluded based upon the Mayan Calendar that the world shall come to an end on December 21, 2012. A full 4 days prior to the estimated date of the world ending experiment.
They really should have a "Politics makes you a fuckhead" warning.
LOL, now that would be cool.
And for the politically correct version: "Warning use of Politicians may be hazardous to your IQ. Politicians contain high doses of Politics which have been known to cause severe deficiencies in common sense in otherwise intelligent people."
I would imagine since the UAV's are controlled via satellite a simple satellite dish and receiver system would be all that you need. Plus the 26 dollar software of course.
Honestly why does it really matter that google tracks how we search? Privacy is an illusion we create for our selves in order to feel secure. Only people who have something to hide have a real need to stay hidden so to speak. This almost Schizophrenic need to keep ones privacy is loosing battle. There are steps to keep you self safer online and more private like proxy servers and not signing up for every internet fad that comes along.
I personally don't give a rats hind quarters who views my search history. I like Google and don't plan on changing search engines any time soon. All this hoopla about Big Brother and stuff like that is paranoia. I once did a search for plans to a low yield nuclear device for a friend to prove a point that they (Big Brother and the powers that be) have better things to do with their time than to worry about us poor little peons. I didn't actually find the plans but I did find what appeared to be part of a Memo from the Manhattan Project. I searched for more than two hours and the FBI never showed up.
If you truly want privacy then unplug your network adapter, turn off your cell phone and unplug your land line; chop your credit and debit cards; close your bank accounts and go out into the woods to live. Privacy is truly an illusion, if you don't care for the illusion then it really isn't that big of a deal.
Nah, the simplest solution would be for them to use a proxy server. Or they can get their ISP to issue new IPs but that would probably be cost prohibitive.
How many thousands of dollars did they waste to confirm what we already knew. I would just love to be a member of some obscure think tank, get paid 100k a year just to smoke pot and think of some stupidly obvious shit to study and waste money on. Hey how about they study how much money the government wastes and the effects of spending money that doesn't exist. That one was free but the study is going to cost 700 billion.
Hang the low life scum sucking bottom feeder by his cock an balls on national television. If his scum sucking lawyer balks at it then hang him next to his client.
"in the U.S. there are also conscience clauses in several states that allow pharmacists to refuse to fill a patent's prescription based on religious grounds. this was primarily introduced to to deny women emergency contraceptive pills, but it also opens the door for denying patients other types of medical treatment based on religious prejudices."
You gotta be fucking shitting me. That's blattant violation of the separation of church and state. But given the current state of evangelical interferance it doesn't surprise me all that much. But damm I can't believe that the ACLU isn't all over this like stink on shit.
"Actually, the practical experience with direct democracy (for example from Switzerland) says the exact opposite.
People are _very_ conservative and don't like the change, even if it's for better.
It's funny that you are talking about media influence, but at the same time parroting the power elite's propaganda about why the direct democracy cannot work."
I tend to agree, the founding fathers considered democracy rule by the rabble and nowhere in the constitution will you find the word democracy. The US is in fact not a democracy at all, it never has been. The US is a Republic, Article IV Section 4 of theUS constitution state that the United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of government. If one remembers the pledge of allegence, I pledge allegence to the flag, of the United States of America. And to the "Republic" for which it stands.
Despite the trend of considering a Republic just another word for Democracy it is not so. There are countries that call them selves a Republic and are nowhere near Democracy: The peoples Republic of China, The former USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republic, The Republic of North Korea.
I never used my profile for anything so I didn't care whta they did to it until I tried to change my alternate email. When I click on update email I go directly to the update profile click save and try again it deja'vu all over again. They didn't just screw it up the FUBAR'd it.
F'ing morons they could fubar a wet dream. Every try and submit a URL to them? Holy convoluted beaurocracy Batman! It's like trying to pull hen's teeth to submit a URL. About the only thing that works even half way decent is the web based email, now if only I could get the bloody site to stop crashing my browseer on my Debian system.
"I think the tree of liberty could use some refreshment on both sides of the Atlantic..."
Careful now big brother is watching even if he doesn't have the law to back him up, and that could be misinterpreted as sedition. Not that I care much as long as they (government) leaves me alone. I could give shit less what either goverment does with my emails. If I get too anoyyed by the frivolous activities of my government I could always fake a few sedicious emails and create a non-existent threat to waste their resources.
"The good grammar tells you he's a fake, but what kind? Obviously, a fake scam artist. In other words, a fake fake."
"But if he's not a real fake, what is he really? The only possibility that makes sense is that he really is the premier of Swaziland. I suggest you send him the information he requested. Or better yet, send it to me, and I'll handle the transaction for you."
No problem, I will have everything ready on the second Tuesday of next week.

I’ve just had an epiphany.
That must have hurt.

If my thoughts PORN HARDCORE PORN can be translated to text or speech by a machine BOOBS BIG BOOBS what is to stop our government from intruding?
I guess then it will be time to break out the tin foil hats then.
