Intelligent Design isn't fake science just because an alien Creator is a more scientific implication of its premise than is the biblical spirit that ID closet Creationists are really pushing. It's fake science because it doesn't include all the evidence and data when explaining phenomena. It's fake science because it's obviously a political stunt to disguise Creationism, which already tried and failed to require schools to teach children mythology as fact. Real science accepts whatever model represents all of the facts. ID is fake science that leads only to the bible, regardless of what facts it skips.
SETI is real science while it investigates an unproven (and not disproved) hypothesis about all signal data that some signals are originated by an intelligence we'd recognize.
True as far as that goes. But of course Microsoft was not "guilty of being a monopoly", (though the judgement found that in fact it is a monopoly). Microsoft was guilty of abusing its monopoly power in specific ways (not just unfairly competing with Netscape, in violation of the original "bundling" consent decree that got the case started). And Microsoft continues to operate in those same ways, especially now that Netscape is dead.
A real remedy would have broken Microsoft into Hardware, OS, Development, Application and Media corporations, which would have to compete with competitors without the vertical integration advantage - licensing among them just like any other player in the market.
Top reason I'm irritated by Ubuntu on my Inspiron8000: CPU "pauses" every hour or so that freeze everything, including my mouse cursor and system clock, until a 5s burst disk write and everything unpauses.
Top reason I like Ubuntu on my I8K: I reinstalled it over Windows, even if Dell wouldn't sell it to me preinstalled/supported (ergo, "I had to buy Windows").
Why would the Pentagon buy American troops more expensive body armor, just because it works better, when they don't even buy the cheaper stuff that's better than nothing? Maybe a few $BILLION for the defense contractors to "test" it, but none to actually support our troops in the line of fire.
The universe is becoming more entropic overall, though local instances of increased order are obvious.
I am choosing to end this "discussion" about evolution with you. Not just because you are cherrypicking some scientific facts without accepting the rest - classic fake science that covers for superstition. Only euphamistically called "unscientific", when it is properly called "delusional propaganda". Much like the Catholic Church invoking the bible and papal infallability when "arguing" with Galileo during their Inquisition, though you've got it much easier in citing some dodo movie in our current faith-based regime. I'm not even going to chide you again for failing to indulge the ID theory that aliens created human life, rather than the even more unscientific guess that some divine spirit created us.
The main reason I won't play this charade with you is that you've hijacked the subject - the political correctness of ID theory. You're not interested in "reinterpretation of the facts" - you want to invoke imaginary "reasonable folks" who you imagine say you the scientific adherents are "undermining their own credibility". You thrive on the spotlight, rather than any clarity it might provide. Go find some sucker to dignify your pseudoscience, pseudodebate and pseudoappreciation for all those who you call "folks".
Anonymous cunt Coward, someday you'll learn to click those links, and see the overwhelming amount of facts that prove my points. I don't expect you'll grow the ability to understand them, or appreciate my help in offering you education in reality. But then, all you want is to fuck me, so who cares what you personally "think".
Port security needs to be tighter, not looser. Depending on not just any US corporation, but a good one, with proven rigor and competence, and the vested interest in its own domestic security. And, since you asked, I am opposed to foreign ownership of critical US infrastructure, when the foreign owners have an interest in, or even just acceptance of, harm to the US, and a controlling ownership. That's the entire purpose of the presidential oversight board, which has instead signed over this critical facility, even over the public objections of New Yorkers, and politicians who represent us. FWIW, I don't see Bush handing Houston ports over to an emir's corporation.
I'm glad you've got the bible to tell you not to have sex with men, since you don't understand that "separation" is a mutual condition between bodies. No doubt you've moved to one of the states which will keep you from indulging your homosexual urges with strong laws, along with the rest of your repressed homosexual clique.
Too bad the rest of us love America more for our ability to change the laws to protect our rights to live free, rather than our freedom to run away from tyrants like you are so happy for.
Oh, yeah, the Republican christocrat gestapo hassling libraries is certainly a lesser evil than the Democrats. Remember, they attacked an insane Christian cult that hoarded a huge cache of weapons.
Hey, an Anonymous childish Coward posting a sarcastic Bush defense complaining about moderation on my completely relevant, focused, informative post about political correctness, as mentioned in the headline and summary. Whining about a calm correction, lying about it being a "diatribe". Talking in cliches like "OMG" (shout out to the Christocrats), "groupthink" and "stat". All perfectly inverting the actual problem: Republican groupthink and media manipulation to make stuff that's wrong seem correct, when it's only politically correct.
You're a political criminal - crimes against nature.
Intelligent Creationism Design offers more scientific intuition for aliens creating human life than it does for metaphysical "designers". Until there's some evidence of any of that, teaching that modern organisms are "too complex" to have evolved, when evolution has been documented in fast-reproducing species, is factually incorrect. ID is sciencey, it's not science. That's known as "science fiction".
You can argue for your religious myths in your church, or in a religion class, or here on Slashdot (though you've exhausted my interest). Keep the superstition out of the science class, and stop molesting my nation's kids. We've got enough trouble with Scientology's spokesmodels. We don't need more junk science turning our kids into ChrisTaliban.
"The" government went after Microsoft, declaring it a monopoly in 1999 after the lawsuit under Clinton. Then Bush took over the "remedy" phase, and - they're still a monopoly.
How is Intelligent Design "politically incorrect"? It's fake science, factually incorrect witchdoctorate mumbo-jumbo. It is correct only politically, as dumb politicians legislate science to pander to even dumber hicks swilling their snake oil.
Your quotes from nyc.gov, the NYC mayor's website, are propaganda from Giuliani's Republican successor. Fascist propaganda.
Ghouliani had nothing to do with the TRILLIONS of dollars funneled through NYC during the Internet Bubble he lucked into. When the unemployment rate drops by half, those people aren't doing crime for their money - they're at work, and better supporting families who then do less crime.
Of course, Ghouliani's fascist police patrols, who shot unarmed poor people, especially black poor people, for no reason, did further lower crime rates - classic fascist technique. Not counting those many police crimes as crime also keeps the "crime rate" down, while keeping the streets unsafe - for poor people. And then just not counting other crimes helps with the rate. More typical fascist propaganda.
Giuliani watched as unprecedented wealth flowed through the city. And what do we have to show for it? The crime rate is still low, but that's a result of the generations of Democratic mayor policies since LaGuardia, which produced better educated, more integrated citizens, fewer unwanted childred, a stronger social fabric. We've got an $8BILLION airtrain to one of 3 metro airports, which took over a decade to build, and no one uses. The streets are in the worst physical condition I've ever seen (since the 1960s), literally caving in. The subways shut down in heavy rainstorms. Cancelling the commuter tax, on people who consume city services all day but get taxed only in the suburbs where they're too cheap to pay for as little as sidewalks, has forced city residents to subsidize the clueless people who clog our transport infrastructure. Corporations pay little of their way, while workers pay for everything.
Ghouliani was a violent, petty dictator, wielding the power of the government solely for corporate benefit at the expense, and to the detriment, of the people, covered by an incessant media myth. That's fascism to a decimal place. And without the reasonable people of NYC to hold him back, he will make the current Bush-league fascism look like Mussolini to his Hitler.
Until I read the whole blurb, I was sure that Ebola was aceing final exams in sociology and psychology, now that they play the role that the old driver's test used to play in becoming a "real person" in America.
The FBI reported that the thousands of wiretaps they were given by NSA led to nothing - but first the FBI had to spy on thousands of people in America. Those "US persons" are protected by the law from warrantless wiretapping.
But you don't care about those facts. You're parroting the RIGHT WING MEDIA, as is obvious to anyone who isn't a parrot, deliberately misstating the case in your prayers to Bush. Regardless of how it damages our country. Why do you hate America?
Giuliani is a fascist who was hated here in NYC when we finally were rid of him after the 2001 elections. But even then, he tried to use the 9/11/2001 planebombings as an excuse to extend his regime into 2002. When 2008 comes around, expect to hear a lot from New Yorkers who know that Giuliani is a fascist who would abuse these Bush loopholes efficiently, destroying American democracy irreparably.

I assume that this company is at risk from such infiltration for several reasons.
- Control of port security, especially in New York City, is too sensitive to be exposed to risks evaluated by a foreign corporation
- Dubai was a hub of activity in the operation that planebombed NYC and the Pentagon on 9/11/2001
- Dubai does not rigorously monitor or oversee operations that terrorists like the Qaeda use to attack us

Obscene is "designed to incite to indecency or lust". Justin's nipple incites you to indecency or lust?

So gays insisting they can march in the parade like anyone else are "forcing their views" that they can march in a parade like anyone else?
Can you actually cite an example of actualy gay people actually forcing actual views on actual people?

When NASA's publishing is controlled by lying, dropout Bush propagandists, then the Big Bang is politically incorrect. But then, since Bush thinks backing Uncle (and Aunt) Toms and shortchanging African AIDS projects makes Republicans the only politicians fit to talk politics at Coretta Scott King's funeral, I guess that "politically correct" now means "politically correct". Just like the "liberal media" refers to the corporate media, which propagates such newspeak.

It's safe to release all of the domestic spying records, now that Bush got his literal "get out of jail free" deal from his Republican Congress.
After terrorists attack our ports through infiltrating the royal United Arab Emirates corporation that just got handed the ports management contracts, I expect Congress will pass a law that says that "no one could have anticipated that the ports would be infiltrated through their foreign managers".
