    If you don't like people owning guns in the US, you can feel free to propose a constitutional amendment. You will promptly be laughed at, but that is your freedom. Until a constitutional amendment is passed, any restriction on firearms ownership is in fact unconstitutional. So, please stop your lies about how bad gun crime is, and go away.

    I want my very own nuclear planet, that would be cool.

    Perhaps you meant power plant? Planets are big and round and float in the sky, plants are on the ground pumping power into the grid.

    The problem with the Pi=3 thing is that a cubit isn't an exact measure, and is not meant to be taken as an exact. The rest of the arguments are people misunderstanding stories as being stories, not fact. The creation myth actually appears multiple times in the bible, all a bit different, so if you want to take the bible as fact, which one is the fact?

    The pope himself has said that evolution is right, it doesn't disagree with the Catholic religion.

    What is missing from your analysis is that the number who don't vote because they hate the current system make up more people than vote for either party currently.

    What is an illegal activity? Is Snowden competent to determine that something is illegal when numerous judges and lawyers have determined that it is legal?

  8. Re:Gregory was just not interesting on the show on Comcast's Lobbyists Hand Out VIP Cards To Skip the Customer Service Wait · · Score: 1

    On another note, Fox news only has a lying issue in the opinion section, which is because it allows people to spout off whatever opinion they have. The opinion section even allows liberals to speak! This is why they were able to get out of the lawsuit, as the person who said something provably untrue was speaking their own opinion, and it was made clear that it was opinion at the time.

    The distinction the AC is trying to make that you seem to be missing is:

    Broadcast runs over radio waves
    Cable runs over a coax cable from a cable company.

    Fox and CNN are cable news, ABC, CBS and NBC are broadcast news. The two categories are regulated in a different manner, for instance, cursing and nudity are banned things on broadcast, but are allowed on cable (at least certain classes of cable, which is where HBO, Cinimax, etc comes from).

  12. Re:Surge pricing during security incident on Uber Pushing For Patent On Surge Pricing · · Score: 1

    I believe CanadianMacFan was stating that the sporting events and concerts would automatically cause the normal surge pricing, but unusual events would alert a human to deal with the issue to make sure Uber doesn't look like profiteering jerks. What they did with giving away the rides for free in Sydney was a nice thing to do to gain positive press, but if it had alerted a human, they could have told the software to keep the pricing normal and not cause a surge.

  13. Re: not original on Uber Pushing For Patent On Surge Pricing · · Score: 1

    If you were talking about Florida, Louisiana, and that area, sure, makes perfect sense to blame them when another storm hits. New Jersey doesn't exactly get that many storms. Living in Maryland, I can remember three hurricanes, one went right up the Chesapeake and pushed a 12 foot storm surge up the bay, it flooded the whole inner harbor. This is not normal, the other two hurricanes just dropped a lot of rain.

    Areas to the north don't get slammed by hurricanes so often, so codifying hurricane proof housing isn't exactly a priority. Plus, how do you codify a house able to withstand a high tide 12 feet above normal? Most of these coastal regions are around a foot above high tide.

    And only Republicans make a political strategy out of it.

    I don't know about that...Democrats make a political strategy out of tossing more handouts to the "poor people" in order to get their vote. They make a political strategy out of racism just as much. Democrats also love to toss out the immigration talk to encourage the Hispanic vote, but they do just as little on the immigration issue as the Republicans.

    I suspect that since the vested interests are choosing the political attack route, they probably do know it is credible, they just don't care.

    The problem is who are the vested interests? The AGW scientists attack anything skeptical of AGW, and prevent everything being published. What science do you consider credible when it cannot be published in the journals?

    I once heard a phrase that clearly sums up most of your argument.

    If the waste is hot enough to hurt you, it is hot enough to produce power.

    If we would stop the silly refusal to reprocess waste, and start reprocessing all the waste we have, we could stop mining Uranium for 1000s of years.

    It is also much easier to deal with the waste when it takes up much less volume, and is only dangerous for a short time.

    The Anti-vax people really have an issue with something that doesn't exist anymore. Mercury in some form was used as a stabilizer in older vaccines. This is where the behavioral/brain problems came from, and has been addressed in all current vaccines.
