    Sorry, but I'll trust the climatologists, and not the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal.

    You can request your info deleted here in the states too. I just did it. No thanks to the people who responded by saying "read the EULA and STFU". Those are probably the same people that think a corporation is a person.

    I recently inactivated my account, but I know they still have all of that data. I looked, but found no obvious place to request that your data be deleted. Anyone have any first hand experience with getting them to actually erase your data?

    This was the cheapest mission to Mars we've ever done. That is a fact. That the rovers lasted this long means we got a lot more out of our money than we thought. You're not knocking NASA engineers, but you are, and you're doing it by omitting a few key facts.

    Not one example of a militant atheist, which is what this was about. Do you expect me to pat you on the head and call you Good Dog, for saying that an atheist isn't necessarily a socialist? You don't get a treat for stating the obvious, and then going on to try to claim that some atheist somewhere, sometime, committed an "evil" atrocity. (I didn't realize there were good atrocities)

  13. Re:Why, is Jesus on the moon? on Candidate Gingrich Pushes a Moon Base, Other Space Initiatives · · Score: 1

    Blah blah blah, and yet not one example at all of a "militant atheist". When you have to reach (in time, and metaphorically) back to the Soviet Union, and then equate socialism, with communism (there is a difference...) to slam atheists in modern day America, that speaks volumes. The fact that atheists are now able to vocalize their thoughts, does not make them militant.

    We're talking about the world today. I can ramble of a few dozen examples of religious terrorism, extremism, and actual militancy. When it comes to atheists, and militancy, all you have is a scatter brained sentence conflating socialists, Soviet communists, and atheists, as if they're all interchangeable words that mean the same thing. You should try reading a book written after the bronze age, for once.

  14. Re:Why, is Jesus on the moon? on Candidate Gingrich Pushes a Moon Base, Other Space Initiatives · · Score: 1

    I see a lot of talk about "Militant Atheism". Let me know when an atheist bombs a medical clinic, or walks in to a church and massacres people for not believing things the same way they do. In the past 5 years militant Christians have done those acts. So you tell me. Who is really militant here? Between terrorist bombers, homicidal maniacs, and child rapers, you have some nerve calling atheists "militant" for stating their views out loud.

  15. Gotta love the fiscally conservative Republicans. on Candidate Gingrich Pushes a Moon Base, Other Space Initiatives · · Score: 2

    I see them all whine about "Obama's debt", when most of that debt was acquired during Bush's two year term. Now they want austerity here at home, and at the same time this clown is promising a moon base.

    If Obama was truly the evil socialist dictator that a few right-wingers call him up-thread, then why can't the Republican party not find a serious candidate to run against him? Obama isn't perfect, but I'll take him over this side-show act, any day of the week.
