    Please, point out what he said that was inaccurate. All of what he says lines up quite well with what I was taught in my Catholic Sunday School. Kind of like the turn the other cheek thing, and the be-attitudes.

    Because posting AC means you don't give a shit about responses, don't even have the common courtesy to stand behind what you post, and have no culpability if you post something patently false as the other AC did.

    So what? You're not going there. Ever. Nobody is going anywhere.

    Just because you haven't been able to leave your mom's basement, doesn't mean others are so restricted. The only thing slowing space exploration currently is political will, not technological progress. If the human race worked together to really make an effort at space, we could have orbiting colonies in around 20 years, it isn't that hard.

    The Kepler spacecraft is on a Sun orbit that falls behind the Earth a certain amount each year, so it is a variable number, not a set number.

    So, you see Saddam Hussein's government still in power? What are your conditions for winning if the Iraqi government was toppled? That was after all the goal, was to stop a dictator who was threatening the region with WMD (mostly nerve gas and the like). Iraq was well on its way to stability, but the president made unreasonable demands to allow the soldiers to stay (like they are still in South Korea, Germany, Japan) and help stabilize his country, so the US president had to withdraw troops when they should have stayed.

    Iraq and Afghanistan were military victories, not losses. They were political losses, as they turned out to be a poor choice, but the US did not lose these wars, the US politicians screwed it all up.

    I don't consider a war losing our side less than 7000 soldiers as a loss, What would be the conditions of winning in your world?

    Slashdot doesn't write its own articles except in special cases, they publish people's writeups, no writeup, no publish.

    If you want to see this in action, take a look at the firehose. These are the articles that haven't made it to publish stage yet.

    FTFA linked above:

    Sometimes legislators know when they make false distinctions based on technology. An "anti-cyberbullying" proposal is making its way through Congress, prompted by the tragic case of a 13-year-old girl driven to suicide by the mother of a neighbor posing as a teenage boy and posting abusive messages on MySpace. The law would prohibit using the Internet to "coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person." Imagine a law that tried to apply this control of speech to letters, editorials or lobbying.

    AC, I believe you are guilty of a felony, expect the police at your door any minute.

  13. Re:Chaotic Systems on Donald Trump's 'Nuclear' Uncle (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    My problem Trump and his ilk is that they either fail to provide a solution or it is completely bonkers.

    You mean like Sander's wants the middle class to pay for everyone to get a college education? Or Hillary who couldn't even provide proper security to her Embassy's while SoS?

    At least Trump comes up with solutions, where are your solutions to these issues? Building a wall with Mexico? About damn time! That border has been so permeable for so long, it is amazing that there haven't been more terror attacks in the US. Do you complain about all the European countries securing their borders against the Syrian refugee invasion?

    What other proposals do you have issue with, so you can be educated on them properly?

    I don't know that you understand the meaning of the word "lose". The only recent war that America lost was Vietnam, and that was down to political issues, not issues with the military.

    Iraq was won in a matter of a week, Afghanistan took longer, but seems to have achieved its goals. ISIS is a failure of the Iraqi army, and their president for choosing to fall on his sword rather than accept help from the US.

    Cunt is a slang term used to describe a piece of female anatomy; namely the vagina. In which case, you are saying that it is an opinion that Hillary has a vagina. Somehow, I don't think this is an opinion. You never know though, maybe there is an actual reason for Bill's wandering.
