Why is any opposition to the way the country is going interpreted as willingness to allow the Government to micro-manage our lives? There exists a balance between corporate interests and the interests of the people; between public and private.
Just because I insist there be a useful safety net and nice clean roads and parks and well-maintained bridges doesn't mean I'm a freaking communist.
It's ridiculous that when I buy earbuds from amazon my eyes get repeatedly dryfucked for recommendations to buy....yep, earbuds from Amazon. Could they even try and get a little creative? An MP3 player or a tablet?
1. quirky old white guy, pisses off wife, builds plane nose in his garage because it was a dream, we all get a laugh and are happy for him. He gets high-fives and we admire him.
2. quirky old brown/middle eastern guy builds a plane nose in his garage because it was a dream, he gets raided, confined, interrogated, accused of terrorist activity, loses house, and his $150k simulator. Congress moves to prevent security breaches like this, the outfit that sold him the nose comes under scrutiny, goes out of business.
People don't want to be enlightened(anymore). they want to be pandered to. They want diamond studs that they can attach to their trucknuts that they can attach to their truck. That will get you rich, not some intellectual revelation. Any interest who a revelation has the merest negative effect on will pay, pay, pay and have your information buried, discredited, and your credibility destroyed if they please. Also, I own the truck nuts jewelry patent.
A rock did hit(you seem doubtful), because there's a huge crater. Given the size and shape of the crater, you most definitely can get a good idea of the size, speed and angle of the meteor and from that you can determine if stuff flew into space. You can even perform experiments to simulate it.
One huge issue is that the inventor is the last person to get paid when their invention goes big. And the pay isn't enough. Now it seems being dumb enough to have a great invention and taking it to a company for marketing and sales is a nice invitition to buy the Board a round of yachts while you make.00002 cents on the dollar for contributing nothing but the idea to this fine product.
No, it's the whole country. Look at our national academic performance. Look at how many hi-tech jobs are filled by foreigners. Look at our news, our media. Our music is shit. It's gotten bad, and it will all get worse...and the ignorant will still elect politicians who will continue to shift the blame (the politicians who try and reverse the trend).
A superamoled screen doesn't have the retina's resolution, but it looks much, much better on non-text viewing. Pure contrast and saturation of colors vs. text and higher-res applications. It ends up being a tossup.
Guilt is for a court to decide. They can take it to another venue. That's no reason to skip out on trying him.
A non-neighborhood watch member basically stalks a kid, follows him when he tries to get away, gets out of the car at some point, draws a gun at some point, and then kills out of self-defense when the kid tries to defend himself. That definitely needs to go to court.
I'm not seeing where the left is down the path to lunacy at all. I can see where the health care law would piss off right-wingers though, and I see the inevitable striking down of the law as a valid political decision (by a rightwing nutjob court though, heh). I wish more Americans could look at issues that way.
As you get older, your life does tend to get better, and you don't mind the loss of rights because they don't affect YOU.
So many people here in the US have that "it doesn't affect me" mindset. It sometimes has me wishing it did affect them so we could get some real action on some things.
if you really wanted to screw mankind make them out of some ridiculous metal like adamantium-kryptonanotube alloy or some shit so it would be hard to melt a large number them before they absorb the energy and self-replicate from the next available source of atoms.

Pretty sad when we have to discuss how hard we can/can't buttfuck the planet for our energy needs. We really need to get on that fusion progress.

Unless you're George Clooney (or the under 25 equivalent)
Oh you mean Justin Beiber

and the media is purchased too
Kind of hard not to give "not doing shit about it" an F, partisan or not.

A glimpse of how the US is perceived when those kinds of stories bubble to the surface. It's worse than I thought.
about 5000 boston stranglers, or .02 american presidents in post-911 units
A very Un-ha first post - broke up and fell into the internet.

we need to take bets on who calls obama a terrorist for this and when

if google wallet and NFC is integrated into this thing its only a matter of time before you'll be pickpocketed with a well-timed noogie
I think he's really talking about the scientologists, and those muslims who care about Mohammad cartoons in European papers.

a: "this would be socialism" b: "why?" a:"ummmm, corn sugar, real sugar, whats the difference?"
Probably, and I guess the rest of the 'idiots' are people who live in food deserts with no good groceries or produce near them.
