You are aware that soldiers have two hands, both usually on their weapon durring combat. The dominant hand usually (but not always, there is a condition known as cross dominance where a person has a dominant eye different from the dominant hand) is on the trigger, and the off hand is usually used to aim. If you put the glove on the off hand (or the dominant hand on someone who's cross dominant) then you can use the squeezes and pushes talked about without any risk of firing the weapon when you don't want to.
If there were a way to ditch the benefits of society, then that would be all well and good. What I am saying is that it doesn't work that way. If you try to drop out of society, society tries to forcibly bring you back in. If it were simply people thinking less of me that would be one thing, but the application of force to make me conform to what society wants is what I am objecting to. Also, I never said I wanted to act without consequences, I said that YOUR statement about opting out of society was poorly thought out because the consequences of "dropping out" of society are far greater than those of not having the society to drop out of. Given the choice to avoid the benefits of society and suffer only the consequences of not having those benefits would be rather nice. But it doesn't work that way.
No, they can't. If you try to drop out of scociety then you are branded as "Antisocial" and "Extremist." Opting out of scociety is an option that has far more setbacks than attempting to reform it. And yes, it is repugnant that you would force someone to assist someone else. It's equally repugnant that you not assist someone in need. It is not the place of the state to mandate the assistance. However, just because I say that "There should be no obligation to help a stranded motorist" doesn't mean that I never pull over to the side of the road of my own volition and provide assistance. The repugnance is at the force, not at the activity.
Obligitory "My type of People!" Besides, I think that Mad Cow has staved off that lovely food for quite some time. Even if a large portion of the public has immunity to various prion diseases.
No, but I can drive by several buffalo farms when I go to visit my parents. So, I'd say that they have been domesticated. Oh, and I don't have a sheep flap in my back door either, and those were the second animals humans domesticated. Thanks for trying, but your snark has missed base. Please understand that domesticated doesn't mean pet.
If you're using rods, then you can't see the detail for a computer screen, so it's a nonsequiter. Besides, the light from a monitor that's grey on black would overload the rods, so they aren't germane to the discussion.
We're talking midwest, not northeast. Trust me, there will be no trouble getting oil from there. This is "Flyover country" not "undisturbed wilderness" The buffalo have been long domesticated, and the native grass grows so fast that it has to be burned off each year to prevent REAL prarie fires. No real disruption of anything. I doubt it will be any more dificult than doing oil exploration in Oklahoma, and the Native Americans don't seem to have any issues with exploitation of the petrolium resources there. Now, getting the refineries built to deal with our new found wealth, that could be a problem, but just getting it, not so much.
Yeah, they couldn't possibly use FARMED alligator for this. No, just not possible. I don't think they've been domesticated long enough for the wild and "tame" strains to be that different. Oh, and Aligator leather is making a comeback, because of the farming.
Calling it the Great Firewall of China has nothing to do with the Cold War dichotomy, and everything to do with the comparison to the Great Wall of China that has been around for the last 1000+ years. Now, I don't know about you, but that seems like it's a little older than the navel gazings of a German philosopher that haven't ever seemed to work out quite the way they were supposed to.
He was hunting QUAIL, get it right. I mean, yeah, that would be one hell of a mobile duck blind, especially if you pulled off the air-gun and repalced it with either a punt-gun or an organ gun, but if Cheny were hunting ducks, then he wouldn't have had to worry about the friend getting in his line of fire. With waterfowl there is no stalking or spooking, you just sit in your blind, and wait for them to fly in.
This isn't about ruthlessness, just selfishness. One can be one without the other. Ruthlessness is doing whatever is needed for one's goals regardless of the impact on any person or people. This can include ones self. Generosity or selfishness isn't always a good indicator of ruthlessness.
He who would be strong everywhere is strong nowhere.
Attack where your enemy is not expecting you, and you will never lose a battle.
War is the most important activity that the state engages in. Tactis change, but fundamental truths do not. Actually read Sun Tsu, or Clauswitz and see what they say, instead of simply spouting naieve crap. Attack is indeed the best defense, but it's also true that you should never attack what you cannot keep. Doing so simply overextends you, and costs you your armies. The US didn't win Korea because of the civilian world, and the same could be said of Vietnam. In war both parties are ALWAYS vulerable in some way, and the trick is to hit the other guy before they hit you.

Ergo, it's not from the government, ergo it's a terrorist plot to get me to install this software, ergo, I need to call my nearest FBI office, or AFCYBER office, and let them know about the attack in progress against US Citizens. Thank you.
Wasn't aware of that, but maybe our benevelent Christian and Jewish friends will give those poor savage Muslims some peace and structure. Not that I'm holding my breath or anything, but it's possible.
Being in the center has other benifits as well. You get the first chance at the gruel, you have one side of your body not being crushed up against the other galley slaves, all sorts of goodness. And one downside as well though. You're closer to the overseer's whip. So, I guess it evens out.
Very good point. Blogs aren't nearly as driven-snow pure as people think. Remeber folks, the reason politicians love Democracy (or forms of government resembling it) so much is because it is the easiest form of government to maniupulate.
If you're going to pull an April Fool's joke like this, at least roll out servers that can handle the load. Or maybe it's the pipe, It's not like serving static web pages is hard, even on that era of equipment.
Well, the bad spelling is a way to tell who is stuck using a browser other than Firefox. And who isn't very careful in their spelling. So, since that has been pushed client side already, I'm not sure that there is any point to adding the load to the/. soldier.
The perception that all whaling is always of endangered species, and also, the idea that whales are intelegent and friendly. Between those two common ideas it becomes a huge anit-hippie activity that creates international incidents. Some would even consider it to be akin to peopling. Except that there don't seem to be endangered species of people to hunt. Well, not since we wiped out Neanderthal man anyway.

Are you kidding? Macs are an accessory. If you want to accesorize then you go with the over priced Alienware computers.

There's a difference between a drunk teen navel gazing, and actually coming up with maths that work for it.

Clearly. Clearly. Since you know, it's not like they are the same thing or anything. No, that would just be... beyond comprehension.

Yeah, but in the NE they are a lot higher. In many states the taxes on those things are for revenue, in the NE they are for punishment.
