Not really. Why do you think there has been so much effort put into making it "politically incorrect" to deny mankind's role in climate change. The leading scientists of the AGW bandwagon charged full steam ahead into the political arena to make sure that any opposition was treated poorly.
slick7, are you claiming that Pons and Fleischman actually did produce cold-fusion but were smeared because no has been able to reproduce their results?
My college physics teacher was the third member of that team. He was my teacher shortly (a year or so) after Pons and Fleischman published. He asked to have his name removed before they published because they, themselves, were unable to reproduce their results so he was certain that something had contaminated the environment and did not want to publish knowing that they could not reproduce it. His last name was Jones but I can't remember his first name. He taught at BYU.
But none of that proves that you can selectively (or otherwise) breed flies until they become spiders or butterflies. That would be actual proof of evolution creating a new species of an organism more complex than bacteria.
What insects have become different insects or no longer are insects after some number of generations? Showing that a group of insects developed a resistance to a poison over time is nowhere near the same thing as showing an insect having become a completely different life-form. A mechanical equivalent of that would be proving that I built a 747 in my backyard by showing you that i can form some clay into an almost-sphere.
Your parent AC never said the Government shouldn't collect taxes. He simply stated that any taxes collected cause wealth to not be created. The idea should be to collect as few taxes as possible and for government to run at the highest efficiency possible.
Nope. One of the fundamental rules is that no Congress can tie the hands of a future congress. Another way of stating this is that it is impossible to pass a law that cannot be altered or undone. If that were possible, then the Republicans during the Bush years could have passed a law stating that no more laws could be passed and then we wouldn't be arguing about Obamacare. Even the Constitution can be altered. This means that just because Congress passes a law that creates a new agency and states that existing agencies will hire more employees to enforce that law does not mean that the next Congress has to provide the funding. That is exactly one of the reasons why the budget has to be redone every year.
Salmonella outbreak was the result of the shutdown? Really? What about the listeria outbreak of 2011? The government was fully functioning (as much as it ever is) back then and it still happened. You need way more evidence than "an outbreak happened" before you can blame it on the shutdown. That one killed 33 people. The salmonella one, zero. Conclusion: food-born illness outbreaks are more lethal when food inspectors are on the job. That makes more sense than your idiotic claim about the salmonella.
The few countries that don't have a US supported military is almost the same list as the ones we are currently fighting. Cuba, China and Russia would be the few additional ones.
Because the hidden costs are kept low because market forces don't allow runaway spending and runaway insurance premium increases. The government running things removes the incentive to keep the increase as low as possible (cause only as much pain as the customer will stand for). Government will cause as much pain as they want. And if the costs do start going up the solution will simply be to raise the debt ceiling again and let our great-great-grandchildren worry about it.
I suppose by 50% you mean the half that deal with worshiping the one, true God? They makes sense to a believer and are things I would expect of a believer of any system.
If you happen to think is the best basketball player to have ever lived, why would you claim that Fred Flinstone was the best ever. In other words, if you want to be a believer, this is how you show that. If you want to be counted as a non-believer, break them.
As for rest...
Honor your parents. If they are also following these, then what kind of ungrateful bastard are you for not. Don't kill (commit murder); don't steal; don't lie. Sounds like good advice on how to be a good neighbor. Don't commit adultery. You made promises so don't go there. Don't covet. Doing so usually leads to one or more of the previous four.
What is garbage about them other than the fact that they outline a way to follow a specified morality. If you don't agree with the morality, say so.
There are three "Gods": God, the Father; His Son, Jesus Christ; and the Holy Ghost. The first two have bodies, the last one does not. The Bible is fairly plain about this. For instance, when Christ was baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist, He was in the river while the Father spoke from the heavens and the Holy Ghost appeared such that people described Him "like a dove." See. Three separate beings. They act with a single purpose like how a husband and wife should.
When someone drives a large steel spike into a tree for the sole purpose of maiming or killing a logger who gets assigned to fell the tree, then yes, they are a terrorist.
When someone commits arson to stop some houses from being built or large vehicles from being sold, then yes, they are a terrorist.
When someone destroys a multi-thousand USD coat by throwing paint on it, then yes, they are a terrorist.
Exactly how repressed were the members of Baader-Meinhof, the Red Army Faction and Action-Directe? All they had to do in order to live under a Communist regime was move a few hundred kilometers east?
Would that be the CBO that just recently reported federal spending will increase $621 billion because of Obama care or would you prefer a more Obama friendly CBO?

Government (UN) committee steering clear of politics... Nancy Pelosi is just as likely to do that.

Circular logic, much?

If government buys productivity the way they buy everything else, then we only lost a couple of hours of real productivity.
You know, if we have to borrow money just to pay the interest we are already beyond screwed. If you can't see that, then you, sir, are an idiot.
How can the debt be unsustainable? All we have to do is raise its ceiling. They told me this on TV today.
That would sound farcical if not for Mayor Bloomberg.

So were the Founding Fathers of the US. Things tend to change when you win.
and just turning your phone off is cheaper and just as fun.
Just what I always wanted: put a sail or two on my truck to pull my boat to the lake.
Well "Fox News" is 7 letters and CNN is 3 letters. That is a difference of 4 letters.
but which ones are 52 through 57?
