  1. Re:Controlled for minimum driving age? on U.S. Teenagers Are Driving Much Less: 4 Theories About Why · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, the strategy to solve "teen road deaths" is keeping them off the roads entirely. Similar to how unemployment is now solved by getting people to drop out of the workforce, houses losing value is solved by printing money, etc.

  2. Re:Gas price probably has more to do with it. on U.S. Teenagers Are Driving Much Less: 4 Theories About Why · · Score: 2

    That's because high taxes in Europe had already suppressed individual vehicle use to a minimum. Interesting how pleased you are to have fewer job opportunities.

  3. Re:Yes. on Nobel Prize Winning Economist: Legalize Sale of Human Organs · · Score: 1

    That you can't perceive the useless surgeries that doctors perform wholly for profit as "exploitative" proves that the term is meaningless. And just like suckers will forfeit even their lives to medical scams, people sell themselves into slavery all the time. It's called "getting a job," though these slaves paradoxically feel freer because they cower in fear of being fired...

  4. Re:I don't get it either. on Controversial Execution In Ohio Uses New Lethal Drug Combination · · Score: 1

    A much larger percentage of the public is basically executed for the greater good (and greater profit) through submaximal auto safety standards, pollution regulations, etc, though it is questionable whether execution program can be calculated to provide a positive return.

    A cage isn't much deterrence for animals. Charlie Manson has a young girlfriend

  6. Re:Stupidity... on Controversial Execution In Ohio Uses New Lethal Drug Combination · · Score: 1

    If you were wrongly convicted it's questionable whether execution wouldn't be preferable. It takes many years to overturn a conviction, and that's a lot of time to spend picking up the soap. In fact there should be a more pleasant execution method for people that request it, while those who fight the process would get burned at the stake or something.

    Would Steve Jobs have tingled your spidey sense? Then it works.

  9. Re:here we go again... on Tech's Gender and Race Gap Starts In High School · · Score: 0

    Education should weed out the weak. If someone is intimidated when they are told that a class is hard rather than excited they don't belong there. That teacher was probably sick of girls wasting his time taking the class because they think it makes them sound interesting rather than because they are interested

  10. Re:Hudreds of Thousands US jobs depend on cartels on Cartels Are Using Firetruck-Sized Drillers To Make Drug Pipelines · · Score: 1

    The Left is not really in favor of legalized drugs, just look at their zero-tolerance attitude towards nicotine. The right-leaning leftist just wants to prohibit drugs now rather than later.

  11. Re:Here's what I'd say, and what YOU should say: on The UK's Internet Porn Filter and Fighting Censorship Creep · · Score: 1

    Kind of a non-issue in a country where people are arrested and go to jail for offensive speech.

    Sure, if you submit to a very high tax burden. You don't get any bills because they already have all your money.

  15. Re:Frogs on France's 'Culture Tax' Could Hit YouTube and Facebook · · Score: 1

    France has at least its share of cinematic talent, but most films are mediocre with only a negative value to culture, and the losers who made them deserve to be bankrupted, not suckled by the public

    And you believe the world was made by what? The Singularity? Okaaaaay. True, it's not surprising, since if the majority approved the law wouldn't be needed since the supply chain would have already dissolved due to lack of demand, but these laws are about lobbyists and energy-hog elitists making us do what they want

  18. Re:stupidity on Is Computer Science Education Racist and Sexist? · · Score: 1

    The abyss is deep. Stockholm's gender equal plowing system delays plowing main roads because they are mostly used by working men, and focuses on clearing the snow out of the way of single mothers.

  19. Re:What will Cameron do then? on UK ISP Adult Filters Block Sex Education Websites Allows Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    More likely that suppression of the kids' sex drive will lead to perversity and dysfunction. Porn is at least a relatively realistic depiction of bodies, the alternative treatments of sex by the "upright" people are usually much more "warped". Someone who uses the word "intimacy," for example, almost certainly has a troubled mind

  20. Re:A tragedy in any other country is success here on How the Lessons of Columbine Saved Lives At Arapahoe High School · · Score: -1

    You can't "save lives" because everyone dies anyway. How many Australians live their lives in fear of criminals? How much is their freedom of activity reduced now that government has a free hand to control them?

    The UK is one of the least free countries that has ever existed, in the same league as North Korea. They can keep their lower gun murder rates, the population is already 100% dead as human beings

  25. Re:Great.... on The Brains of Men and Women Are 'Wired Differently' · · Score: 1

    Physics and math are fucking hard, and the potential salary is not really worth it. The question is really: why are the men torturing themselves? Half are probably suffering from autism and should be treated instead of exploited, and the other half are simply confused and should be reassigned to the gynecology program.
