it's tribal. end of the world would have meant the end of a tribe or community*. SO it would be advantages to prevent it. That advantage can be leveraged into making people do thing to prevent the perception of the end of the world.
It's not stupid. It's lack of critical thinking; which can be fixed. I's ignorance; which can be fixed. It's assuming every opinion has equal weight; which can be fixed.
Educating kids that there isn't a planets going to crash into us, there is no reason to think the Mayans were even attempting to predict the EotW.
Even when it's impacting them? even when people from around the country continually contact them asking about planets that don't actually exist? Even when school kids are afraid?
It's not simple commenting on a religious issue, its a response to a very real problem.
As someone who deals with these dumb asses every freaking day, I find it good that NASA is debunking the actual science informative aspects of these issues.
When someone is telling kids a planet is going to crash into the Earth, who do you want the kids to turn to?
This is a huge problem. Kids contact NASA scientist becasue they are afraid. People kill them selves and others over these issues. The create a huge misunderstanding of astronomy.
Cutting it off now is the correct and forward thinking thing to do.
Yes, it would be nice if this money* was used towards something else, but don't underestimate the impact of these doomsayers and prepper idiots are having on out society. Spreading their ignorance like a plague.
You reasons are exactly why these projects should be undertaken right now in the US. Money is cheap, and the deficit is nearly as bad as the media is leading you to believe. Large projects help reduce deficit, create jobs, and build industries.
You really don't get it, do you? You just lack any understanding of science and who it integrates into society?
People who think like you wouldn't have funded Einstein becasue you can't understand basic research doesn't have a end product goal. Find out all you can as accurately as you can. Industry, engineers, and many other clever people will figure out a use.
Did anyone realize how solar cells would become important? lasers?
Figuring out how the fabric or reality works will have profound effects on what we know. Clever people will build things.
Well, I think it's reasnable to assume it means common arms carried at the time.
Oh, it's also very clear it's for the militia (formal stay at home military.)
Based o my readings of the letters, and the context of the time, the where envisioning something closer to what the swiss have today.
To carry firearms in public or outdoors (and for an individual who is a member of the militia carrying a firearm other than his Army-issue personal weapons off-duty), a person must have a Waffentragschein (gun carrying permit), which in most cases is issued only to private citizens working in occupations such as security.
becasue the NRA has no actual facts to back there many claims. Actual data shows them wrong in almost every case. So all the have is avoidance, cherry picking, and appeal to emotion.
I say this as a former NRA member. A person who used to believe all that, then learned how to read data and do statistics.
The internet is making it harder for them to have an argument becasue they can be called out on it right away. With any luck we will begin to have a serious discussion on the topic sometime in the next decade.
Frankly Swiss style gun control would be nice. "To carry firearms in public or outdoors (and for an individual who is a member of the militia carrying a firearm other than his Army-issue personal weapons off-duty), a person must have a Waffentragschein (gun carrying permit), which in most cases is issued only to private citizens working in occupations such as security."
Only military and security can have guns, and even people in the military can't own there own gun.
We are ALL capable of going insane. no one is the exception, and we won't know until after it's happened. Assuming we become rational again; which is likely.
People like to say "well, THAT guy HE"S mental unstable' as if they couldn't become mentally unstable.
most murders with hand guns are a single event based on ease of availability of a firearm. Its a moment. Jut a moment where the brain sees the way to spend less energy to end an argument and it acts. What might have been a punch or a slap is now a shooting.
Don't invoke 'insane' or Crazy without looking at what they really means.
Yo don't really know what you are tlaking about, do you? Yes, I would LOVE Switzerland level of gun control.

So the only people with gun are people in the military, and some people in security. That's it. And the people in the military can't own private guns, unless there job is security.
You, like every other person who doesn't like gun control, have no facts. And when you do think you have a fact, it is either cherry picked or wrong.
"Because some crazy fucker walking into a gym with a pipe bomb would be much better." yes, in fact it would. You would;probably have fewer deaths, and you have a high probability that it won't work. Add to that, if you are seen with a pipe bomb, you will be arrested. If some sees you buying supplies for it, that's another opportunity to get caught.

No. agree to disagree just allows ignorance to flourish. Stop it. Explain why he is wrong.
It's horrible movie, and we would all be dead before we came close to what they are doing.

if you see 999999 on the odometer, it is reasonable to assume the car is going to fall apart, soon.
This is like December 31st. The next day you need a new calendar.

You have a complete lack of understanding of science, and economics.
You reasons are exactly why these projects should be undertaken right now in the US.

Becasue one we had microscopes that could see germs, we didn't need to build better ones?
Once telescopes could see Pluto, should we have stopped?
These are tools that are used to literally peer into the very fabric of reality. I say that without Hyperbole.
Do you expect giant robots to just appear?

Down, in every case I have looked at.
Gun control has gotten stricter, crime overall drops, as does homicides.
yes, teacher firing the guns under extreme stress while children are fleeing around,. That's better~
People and their fucking Hollywood notion of firing a gun. Most shots miss intended target. Yes, even by the police.
I like how you have no qualms about forcing teachers to carry a killing tool.
Im glad you brought that up. Notice the bombs didn't work? bomb are extremely harder to make, and even more difficult to make reliably.
Guns can be bought off the shelf and work really well.
I will tell you it should be illegal to put those chemicals in a way that is design to explode.

I wonder how much money they actually save, after all?
Just a curiosity really.
If you need to hunt, ans some we do, you could be issued a rifle permit.
Target shooting? Store Gun in a safe at the range.
We can have both those and strict gun control.

Don't by small minded and short sighted.
You probably would have killed fewer kids that way.
That said, this is not a single event, this is ANOTHER tragedy made by people who had easy access to firearms.
"Because some crazy fucker walking into a gym with a pipe bomb would be much better." ;probably have fewer deaths, and you have a high probability that it won't work.
yes, in fact it would. You would
Add to that, if you are seen with a pipe bomb, you will be arrested. If some sees you buying supplies for it, that's another opportunity to get caught.
ah yes, then 'It's never time to talk about it dodge.'
right NOW is the perfect time to talk about it.
"No amount of written law is going to prevent psychopaths who want to kill innocent kids. "
making guns incredibly hard to access would,
