  1. The quickest way to extract helium on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 1

    is *through the planet core*. So far, we've hardly scratched the surface, so to speak. The vast riches beneath the crust are there for the taking.

  2. Re:Dispensing our reserves? on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 1

    The only reason that politicians idolize profits is because the voters do the same, and it wins the election. It is a conditioned reflex. You won't get any better politicians without voting for them. They don't just waltz in and take over.

    And screw the 'authorization'. Switch to inertial nav once an accurate fix is acquired, and use a big enough weapon where getting close is good enough.

  4. Re:Tom Cruise, come out of the closet on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    Replace the Federal reserve notes with government script to be given only to natural persons and their pensions, not corporations. Everybody can operate like like nothing happened at all. Transfer all property deeds away from the banks, and commit to much needed land reform. Give it back to the people who were robbed by mortgage fraud. Make everybody a property owner. We shouldn't be letting private industry counterfeit our money to feed to crooked gamblers that created this mess. We can destroy the derivative markets with one easy swing of the sword, and the collateral damage will be quite minimal. It's all going to crash anyway. We can make it almost painless. And the empire can continue to stand tall. We also need political conscription, like a military draft. Put people in the hot seat who don't want the job. That's the only way to know we are not electing psychos.

    Media polls are pure bullshit. Election results are the only numbers that matter.

    The simplest ,and obviously best solution to Obamacare is Medicare for all. Just do it goddammit! For the "debt"? Quit propping up the derivatives markets.. Zero the books, and make a fresh start. Fuck Wall Street.

  7. Re:Easy, kill the TSA... on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    TSA? Pfft! a mere pittance. Sack the DEA and abolish prohibition. Then a lot of other non-essential dominoes will fall.

  8. Re:Agreed, but I will also blame gerrymandering on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's the voters who are playing the blame game. They blame everybody but themselves.

    I hear the approval rating is down to about 98.2% now. By the time the election rolls around it will be back up to 98.5%.

  9. Re:Priorities on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    No, let them have their fun. Abolish the DEA instead. They are definitely no good to anyone outside the beneficiaries of prohibition, like the banks and other organized criminals.

  10. They're saving only 38 pounds.. on Delta Replacing Flight Manuals with Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    Why don't they connect the thing directly to the autopilot and save about 350 pounds? And on top of that, they could save even more money on the pilot's salary.

    They could also replace the stewardesses with motorized food carts, or even better, just put the tiny bags of peanuts (all three of them) in the seat pockets in front of you.

  12. Re:Exactly! on Obamacare Could Help Fuel a Tech Start-Up Boom · · Score: 1

    Don't worry about the penalty. It's much smaller than the premiums. So just pay the penalty, and use the emergency room. The biggest threat comes from putting the taxman in charge of collections. So, I still say, kill the bill, if for that reason alone. The IRS is the most fascist part of the government.

    A culture isn't "valid" or "invalid".

    A culture's "validity" is determined by its might, not by some ethereal "morality".

    ...mental gymnastics the cultural leaders have to do to defend them.

    "Defense" is accomplished through bombs and bullets, not by mental gymnastics.

  14. Re:Where to start with this one...? on Saudi Cleric Pummeled On Twitter For Claiming Driving Damages Women's Ovaries · · Score: 2

    RIDING in the car, but not driving it, is apparently fine for the ovaries.

    It's true! It shortens the menstrual cycle to two weeks, making the woman twice as fertile. Unfortunately, it has the opposite effect on mens' testicles. That's why they have to drive, it makes them more virile, and having more than one man in a car is very gay, punishable by death.

    Now, let's talk about the backseat. This is where babies are made.

    No, but the UK voters didn't vote in the UK bankers either.

    But they did vote for their servants, front men, mouthpieces, whatever you want to call them. People who want to believe they live in a democracy must be held responsible for the politicians they vote for, especially after electing them more than once. Bankers are assholes for sure, but it's our society that rewards their behavior, so you can hardly blame the bankers for pressing the lever that drops down the sugary treats. Pavlov's studies apply to humans just as effectively as they do to any other animal.

    Expecting the majority of the population to be like you is shortsighted at best.

    It's not about me. It's about using your damn brain, or at the very least, learning how. Voter complacency is the main problem. They don't want to make the hard choices. They do what they can to avoid responsibility and to blame others for the troubles they suffer. The problem is in the mirror, and until people realize that, nothing will ever change, certainly not for the better.
