The average prole can do little. His eco footprint is already nearly insignificant because he can't even afford running the damn AC anymore.
Those that do have the eco footprint of an elephant also seem to think they can buy themselves another earth and to hell with the rest. Get rid of them and we're solving a lot of ecological (and probably economical) problems.
I have a stone here that can do the job of a TSA agent. At least there haven't been any planes hitting my house since I have it, so this alone should convince anyone that it's working.
You know what actually happens? CEO fucks up and you get fired for it or at least have to spend an unpaid weekend fixing his bullshit while he takes a jump with his golden parachute.
The problem is that it's not just for general consumers. You try to explain to the CEO of a high security company why you want to ruin his fun and not let him have his new toy.
It's worse than trying to explain it to a 5 year old, with the difference that the 5 year old can't fire you and you can actually talk sensibly and reasonably with a 5 year old.
Is the video at the bottom telling you about all those new and exciting security features. I first had to check whether it's a video from 2008 but no, it really talks about this iPhone.
Just as one of the huge innovations you can now set a six digit pin code instead of that puny 4 digit one. Talk about courage!
Pastafarianism: Let's stick with actual religions where the proponents really have imaginary friends instead of just mocking those that do.
Rastafarianism: Tell a Rasta you're gay. Make sure your life insurance covers it.
Jainism: Ok, that one's a tough cookie. But at the very least it has a similar problem as most contemporary religions, i.e. that it considers women lesser than men and far from equals and their practice of accepting children as monks is another thing I would consider rather problematic. I agree, though, that their threat as classic "terrorists" is close to zero.
Because the only two possibilities are total absence of security and the insanity we have now?
The older ones among us might remember a time when you could actually use planes for a faster transport from A to B than... well, by now pretty much any other form of transportation. You'd put down your bag to be x-rayed, you'd go through a metal detector and you'd be done. And, lo and behold, the amount of planes that were bombed or otherwise "terrorized" was pretty much on par with today.
When you have a measurement system that's completely out of whack with sub units that divide by some arbitrary number instead of powers of 10, you're inclined to use metrics that are easier to grasp.

And I'm certain you're able to explain the difference in ways that don't involve me having to believe or imagining something, right?
You look at this church window and tell me it isn't so!

I sing in the shower, that should make me at least as qualified.
Bzzt. Wrong. But thank you for playing.

These people literally have jester's license.
Yes, but that solution doesn't really scale well, we only need one president.

No, testing your findings and whether they apply universally.
What fact exactly are you talking about? Maybe you could name one of the great minds that is devoutly religious?

As long as the rest follows, anything to make you happy.
Sorry, but in my experience they pretty much exclude each other. Maybe because believing and knowing are anathema for each other.
Here's your sign... *sigh*
Would it make you happy if we sent the Democrats too?
I know it would make me happy...
I agree. So let's get rid of the whole bronze age bullshit while we're at it, why only dump the one from the early middle ages?
Science needs no worship. Science needs what religion explicitly forbids: Doubting, testing, questioning and changing.
So... "respect my religion because I don't really follow the atrocities it commands me to do"?

Singling out an attack is as sensible as singling out a religion.
Look back in history and show me one religion that has not been the source of unspeakable atrocities.
No, actually I expected things to get worse. Then I realized that this would actually be a feat.
Why, did they replace the Air Marshals with a Dixie Band now?

Yeah, Aussies can be quite smart and honest. Dangerous combo in this time and age.
