You parents have been through more tan you have, they have faced more adversity than you have, they have overcome more than you have.
Only an idiot would discount what your parent tells you. Of course, this is a given for most people above the age of 12 and below, say 20 something. But if you are over thirty and don't take advantage of your parents experiences and knowledge, you are a complete moron.
I can't believe the number of people that suggest that long term changes/commitments should be made because "now, oil is cheap". From the morons who think that means we should raise the gas tax to the idiots who think the U.S. Fracking industry can be killed.
Oil prices will go back up. And the second they do, the Frackers will open up shop again/increase drilling. etc. And, of course, that tax that was increased because "oil cost so little now" will make the increases all that much worse.
And the supreme irony is that all those Solar Panels MDSolar endlessly shills for cannot be made without oil. From creating plastics to generating the energy to make the glass to fueling the construction equipment to transport them, etc.
Get them all free tickets to that great Muslim garbage disposal called Syria. Give them guns and send them out to shoot other islamofacists and be shot themselves. Win-win!
1. TWC will sell your info to companies and you will start seeing ads for Depends when you reach 65. What will the government do with it?
2. TWC pretty much doesn't care what you look at. Other publicly provided internet access usually does and blocks aggressively (schools, etc.) What will the government do?
3. TWC will always respond to outages because they want your money and don't want to get sued (yes, they do it in an incompetent manner). The government pretty much doesn't care. Resources will go to Electric, Water, Gas, and Storm drains first. So when will THEY fix internet outages?
On the other hand, providing dirt cheap access to higher speed connections will definitely kick TWC into gear...just look at their response when Google comes into a neighborhood.
First you're drawing energy from your surroundings, including such low-level sources as light, temperature changes and the next thing you know, you're sucking the energy out of a Star Ship's Warp Coils.
Al Gore proved himself to be a World Class Prick with his cheap stunts like shuffling his papers, sighing, and inching ever closer to GWB while he was talking during the first debate.
I do believe he was working in the patent office at the time or thereabouts. He was looking for a job in academia if I remember the documentary correctly. Not quite the QuickieMart, but not really in his degree area either.

Then you have, in fact, taken advantages of your parents experiences.
Taking advantage of your parent's experiences doesn't necessarily mean do the same thing they did.

I know! Right?
I mean, those Christians cutting off heads, killing scores of people, damn!
The Amish. Man, those Amish are Mean mother fuckers! Cross them and the next thing you know you're hanging by the rafters helping them raise a barn.
I'm glad you aren't on your way to cut my head off.
If Islam didn't get so bent out of shape when people insult it, then I bet people would become bored and stop doing it.
For the most part, high profile Anti-Christian rhetoric is limited to a small handful of Obsessed Atheists.
...it's like watching legions of people buy Pet Rocks or Cabbage Patch Dolls.
Why? Just, why?
I don't see anybody trying to regulate that...
It's spelled E. P. A. and they want to regulate water everywhere, even that drainage ditch in your back yard.

Or the constant jiggle the chair experiences while he watches porn.
How far they have fallen.

Slippery Slope if I ever saw one.
I'm afraid Libel doesn't mean what you and Mann think it means.
Mimophant is a made up, bullshit word that isn't in any dictionary except for the "wiki" dictionaries where anyone can make up anything.
Intelligence is a meaningless label assigned to a collection of attributes. Those attributes change with time and circumstances.
Keep in mind that the ultimate test of intelligence is survival.
FacePalm!

Mann is so certain of his Science, he's suing people that dispute it.
Ha!

Don't you know? Death by gun is less dead than death by anything else.
At least one Lefty disagrees.
Yep, dictators are only interested in Religion if it can be used as a tool in their quest to attain and/or maintain power.
And a fucking chicken in every pot.
