    Hitler was elected.

    This is incorrect, he was not elected to his lead position in the German government, he was appointed.

  5. Infect the non-smokers! on Hiring Smokers Banned In South Florida City · · Score: 1

    If the smokers band together and infect enough non-smokers with expensive-to-treat diseases, the smokers will become more economical to employ and insure, and non-smokers will not be hired.

    No, this is the department of innovative solutions, practical solutions is down the hall, next to abuse.

  8. Re:Good on Oil Exploration Ramps Up In US Arctic · · Score: 1

    Well, there was little or no choice to make the cities car-centric after the automakers bought most of the urban and local rail and destroyed it (scrapped the cars and tore up the rails) to foster car sales.

    I am familiar with no research suggesting mm wave scanners emit or cause to be emitted X-rays- cite?

  13. Why Dd TSA Pat Down Kids/Adults Getting Off Train? on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 1

    Wrong question- why did they submit?

    I would not have, I will not, if they try you will read about me unless they just whisk me to gitmo.

    "Sir, you are going to be searched"

    " No, I am NOT going to submit to a warrantless and unconstitutional search, I am going to walk away, if you approach me I will consider it a kidnapping attempt and I will defend myself."

    This is worth my job.
    This is worth my risking my freedom.

    Libertarian==fiscally-conservative/socially-liberal

    How can one be fiscally conservative (spend less money) and simultaneously be socially liberal (spend more money on those sad, pitiful poor people)?

    Socially liberal does not mean "spend money".

  23. LiPo batteries tend go go 'boom' when mistreated on Electric Car Goes 375 Miles On One 6-Minute Charge · · Score: 1

    Lithium-Polymer batteries do not cope well with physical damage, or being charged faster than their designed charge speed, or being overcharged, and are damaged if discharged beyond a certain point.

    You wouldn't believe what these friggen' things can do in a model airplane, though. Awesome capacity and very light.

    The post-crash explosions are a nice realistic touch, too.

  25. Re:Judge Judy is a TV judge. on Inside a Full-Body-Scanning X-Ray Van · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't have a 'problem' at all, especially not in the sense you mean- I'm not reacting because someone is 'picking on the jews, but if it was a muslim fuckit, that's fine by me'.

    I am wondering what your problem is, though.

    Whenever I hear someone described as 'jewish' or 'muslim' or 'black' or 'hispanic' etc. and it has nothing to do with the discussion, I ask 'why'.

    So, do you have a problem with that?
