    Thats not exactly true. A religion can change its beliefs. Of course, when that happens you end up with a lot of burnt heretics. From both sides of the argument.

  4. Re:It's not about which technology on Ask Slashdot: It's 2014 -- Which New Technologies Should I Learn? · · Score: 2

    Judging by our history of riots, wars, murders and the like, what the world really needs is less passion and more rational thought.

    Well, that's because the USA is steadily getting more evil.

  12. Re:Why I Stay Away on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 2

    Unfotunately, that doesn't have a thing to do with Canada's customs. "Product selection on canada.zappos.com is limited due to distribution agreements with the brands we sell in the United States." This sounds more like a problem Zappos needs to solve for themselves and not try to blame on Canada.

  14. Block the conservative party website? on UK ISP Adult Filters Block Sex Education Websites Allows Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the filter would be properly blocking obscene material in that case.

    Thats a bunch of crap. There have to be a couple of million Jesuses running around in Mexico alone.

    Shit, you mean we'd have to deal with going from paying 18% of GDP for healthcare under the current US system and end up paying 11% of GDP for healthcare under a single payer system like Canada? OH GOD NO!!!!

  18. Re:New meaning to blue screen of death? on Former Microsoft Exec To Lead HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    Only 3.5 hour wait for an emergency room visit? That's freaking awesome. I had to take my wife to Parkland county hospital in Dallas, TX once because of no health insurance. We waited 13 hours to get seen by a doctor just because her blood sugar had spiked to over 600. And the old lady next to us had to wait just as long to get seen for a broken hip.
    The best thing?
    Parkland is one of the better county hospitals in the nation.

    Wait, you would rather have someone from Microsoft handle user interface decisions rather than someone from Google? I'd much rather see healthcare.chromeos.gov over healthcare.windows8.gov/buyapple

  20. Re:Some appointments are forever! on Swedish Man Fined $650,000 For Sharing 1 Movie, Charged Extra For Low Quality · · Score: 1

    Part of the reasoning behind the McDonalds damage awards was that McDonalds did an estimate on how many people would suffer sever burns as a result of them raising the temperature of their coffee to levels that were clearly unsafe and also studied the cost of settling lawsuits to see if the increase in revenue from selling coffee at increased temperatures was worth it. IANAL but my brother is and this is how he explained it to me. The punitive damages awarded by the jury were equal to the one day's worth of increased profit McDonalds made by raising the temperature of their coffee to unsafe levels and knowingly disregarding the safety of their consumers.

  22. Why so angry? on Employee Morale Is Suffering At the NSA · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why everyone is so upset with the NRA. After all, they only started doing this after we clamored for them to. We had people in the streets calling other Americans traitors for opposing the "Patriot Act" We DEMANDED that they spy on us, and now we are mad at them for doing so. Perhaps that is part of the reason why their morale is low.

    Thats an excellent suggestion. In fact, just look for a person with a red tipped white cane and wave them down.
