    "We" are "other people"... Speech is entirely ethereal, with no intrinsic force of any kind. We, the listener are its sole source of power. All choices are personal, regardless the motivation. Nobody has any right to regulate what can be said. CU was the right and proper decision. You have the power to turn your back. Do not blame other peoples' weakness and desires on the object of their desire. That is scapegoating to avoid the truth. Censorship is nothing but expediency to protect those with the power to impose it. Yes, I do agree, for empire maintenance, it is necessary, but it is no different than animal control. "Castrate" the idea so it can't spread its seed.

    Gold is useful as both a conductor and as a reflective coating. Silver is useful in various chemical compounds. Platinum and iridium are very useful catalysts.

    Those things are only useful for people who need/want them. There is no intrinsic value in anything.

    Aren't we just supposed to assume that all our shit is being recorded, and *just keep shopping*? I mean, like, what? Is any of this going to make one bit of difference during the elections? Please! The resistance against any of this is so feeble, it does not register anywhere outside the truther sites.

    It is in an environment which will be naturally tough on the system.

    It by "natural", you mean bombs and grenades, yeah, it can get kinda rough. Funny how the places with the best resources and beaches are the toughest to set up shop.

    Words only have the power we give them. The source is irrelevant.

    So much for free speech. It now all has value and that value has been weighed.

    Yep, this is a path to censorship. But the bright side is now we can charge for every word we say.

    Big giant massive nuclear powered autonomous self repairing tunnel boring machines with on board smelters to extract the minerals would work perfectly. We should have had these things 10 years ago. It's the 21st Century for Chrissake! Let's stop living in the 19th...

    They need to put someone in charge of the money who will make a real attempt to prosecute every single person who attempts to gouge the taxpayers.

    Yeah, and his protection will cost more than the project.

    I'm pretty sure a good number of the commercial airplanes which were shot down could be attributed to the US.

    For an accusation of such gravity, you better have more solid citations than your own "pretty sure". Do you?

    Would you believe one is a pretty good number? Of course, that was different, right? But hey, it's not like we shouldn't be keeping Russia in a box or anything. Casualties of war... shit happens

    They are not "ex". The position is waiting for their return, just like Holder. This is normal. I always recommend voting out the crooks, but all I get are excuses and blame passing. It's not the politician's fault for winning.
