  1. Why is it that the pro-Palestinian side of this debate never show any empathy for the Palestinians? You accuse others of not caring about the Palestinians when they never said anything of the sort. But you have no quibble wishing this person's children dead?

    The Palestinians launch unguided rockets into civilian filled cities. They lost all sympathy when they allowed that to happen from mosques, hospitals, schools, homes, etc.

    What is your point, that Israel is better at defending themselves than Palestine at willy nilly launching unguided rockets into Israeli cities?

    Please feel free to link to ANY information indicating how Israel is committing genocide, as that requires you to point to them murdering people who are trying to mind their own business, I am sure that it will be a long wait.

    it points out that sophisticated AI is not yet to the point of recognizing all the risks involved in driving, and the AI alone is a danger to everyone else on the road.

    You don't drive much do you? Humans are way more danger to everyone else on the road than this AI.

    Having been rear ended in traffic many times (>4), I have to say that the Tesla is a drastic improvement over Human Intelligence.

    Except that Elon never said that. Or do you have something more that can be offered like a link to him saying that it would? The Autopilot feature requires you to agree to keep your attention on the road in order to use it. Funny thing, but airplane autopilots require the same thing, as an autopilot on an airplane will gleefully fly the plane into another plane or terrain without any intervention.

    Don't you understand. To Hillary's loyal followers, what Hillary does is irrelevant. It doesn't matter. Her actions, her behavior, her history, they have no bearing on her fitness and suitability. All that counts is that she takes money from the Saudis and Wall street, and does what they ask.

    I couldn't think of anything that people actually like about Hillary, personally, I can't see how anyone could like either of them, but remember that Hillary broke the law, and was sloppy with classified documents, ignored pleas from an ambassador to increase security, and let the ambassador be murdered while he requested backup.

    At least Trump hasn't screwed up so bad that he killed the first ambassador since 1979.

    Because food labels aren't meant to be for things that are perfectly safe, they are fear mongering and you know it.

    Why haven't you been pushing for labeling of hybrids too? There is as much danger in the hybridization process as with GMO after all, and some hybrids have actually been deadly!

    http://boingboing.net/2013/03/...

    You aren't interested in sensible labeling of dangerous products, you are interested in labeling products to induce fear in people. There is no reason to label GMO products, they are perfectly safe. This isn't "may contain nuts", this is "may contain water".

    As an aside, people like your parent are never going to stop being anti science, it doesn't matter how much evidence is given to them, they will never believe that GMOs are safe, they would rather see billions starve because they feel GMOs shouldn't be grown.

    By all accounts?

    Perhaps you should reread those accounts, the Japanese refused surrender, not once, but twice. The two bombs weren't dropped in the same day, but three days apart after the Japanese government refused to surrender. They had women, children and the elderly trained to use sharpened sticks to defend the homeland from invasion. They were hardly ready to surrender, and in fact refused to surrender when already beaten.
