    You do realize that all of those who have been shot recently were committing crimes at the time right?

    Yep, even the 12 year old black kid that was shot was committing a crime. He removed the orange tip from a realistic looking toy gun, then was stupid enough to point it at the policemen who told him to drop it.

    If you teach your kids to respect the police, they are more likely to not be shot by police.

    Um, the secessionists wanted to secede from the union, not war. The north went to war to prevent the breakup of the union.

    You could even bring up the difference in dates between the emancipation proclamation (January 1, 1863) and the freeing of Maryland's slaves (November 1, 1864). If freeing the slaves was so important, why wasn't Maryland forced to free their slaves when the south was?

    I use the Kyocera Brigadier. I previously used the Moto Razr M. The Razr worked great when wet, though I did lose the speakerphone mic when it was soaking wet in the rain once, but it came back after drying out a bit.

    Both of those phones are advertised as waterproof, and both still work (my son is using my old Razr after breaking his Moto X's screen). There are phones out there that actually are waterproof, it is just that Sony is an asshole I guess.

    The only truck commercial I can think of that was literally impossible was the Toyota (can't remember which) getting his by a meteor and coming out of the crater. What truck commercials show trucks doing things that are clearly not supposed to be done?

    I took a Fujifilm Finepix XP series camera scuba diving in the ocean, are you saying that the plastic used in that isn't waterproof in saltwater? I was actually quite impressed, it survived much deeper than I expected it to, and still functions now.

    I am not sure the exact model I have, but this is much the same:

    Things don't have to be stainless, glass or brass to survive salt water, you just have to be sure to rinse it off afterwards.

    I was demonstrating that Saddam had used chemical weapons in the past, during the run up to the war, he was refusing access to the inspectors, and acting like he was about to use weapons on Iran or the Kurds again.

    Oh, and please, argue in the talk page of Wikipedia's article, I am sure those people would love to debate the merits of your arguments:

    Well yeah, but in the case of this book/movie, they used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engines like NASA uses currently.

    Looking through Up Goer Five, it looks like all the stages of Saturn V used liquid H and O for fuel:

    I'm not going to address the first part, because you know damn well how to quote. I referred to your text, which I quoted from you. You did not have this quoted, which makes it your text.

    I am still not clear what you are talking about. The message I posted just had a link to another poster giving a list of quotes. My only statement in the comment was:

    Naa, couldn't be that. So, please explain yourself.

    So what other post or what quote are you speaking about than?

    Um, no. Water as rocket fuel is separating out water into H and O, turning them into liquid, and burning them as rocket fuel.
