Haha, a military worth $600 billion a year runs about building schools and roads. Have you thought through this? Some other people may be better suited for this job, no? Maybe American citizens would like that money to go to their own cities instead?
Or, you know, you could take the bus. Just ask the cities to increase coverage and frequency, and all that you're dreaming for can be a reality today. No need to wait for any new technology.
Other countries use the same sign for their currencies (also called rupees or some variant). One of the reasons for the new symbol was India wanted a different one.
I don't see where your link says anything about giving highly technical raw data to bloggers who know nothing and couldn't care less whether what they say is actually true.
Yeah that happened when the public was asked to sacrifice their prosperity in the name of climate change.
That does not make sense. If it was all public data, why not just respond to the FOIA requests with the directions to obtain them? His statement of "25 years blah blah, why should I give this?" does not match your scenario.
Do you really believe no morals exist and all cultures and customs are of equal value? Honor killings, suicide bombings, child marriages etc are fine with you just because its someone's "custom"? Sorry, that's not for me.
Yeah, humans were in caves too at one point. You suggesting we should go back to that? Or that there was something wrong with moving out of the caves and using our brains for something other than subsistence living?
Actually, according to wikipedia, 1000 - 5000. Care to also estimate the number of people living aboard cruise ships, yachts, naval fleets and submarines in the world at any point in time?
Yeah, it was a lame publicity stunt, designed to get on the newspapers, and give the finger to the europeans.
No need to invoke my moral standards or lack thereof, to see that was what it was meant for. That she felt the need to do it and chose to use raw seal hearts as a prop says a lot about her character. In a different era, she'd have fit right in a circus freak show I guess, you know, the ones with weird animals on display for our amusement?
"Physically incapable... " of eating anything else? Haha, and also all those scientists in the antarctic also have to airlift in tons of raw seal hearts I guess? Wait, no, its raw penguin hearts for those guys... And how do people ever manage to live on ships and submarines? Six months at a time without access to raw seal hearts must leave them feeling ravenous at the end of a tour of duty. Or do they just hunt a lot of seals beforehand and store the meat? No that wouldn't be it, in your world, I guess all the food technology humans invented for distribution and storage isn't actually used by anyone (except vegetarians...). Very puzzling!
Who the heck are you talking to? Who's "we" and when did "we" decide to be cool with "murdering" things?
And I'm being shallow when I do what exactly? Eat meat? Who said I eat meat?
I'm sorry you feel the need to justify your habits so loudly to strangers. Do you do that a lot? I also apologize for not suffering from cognitive dissonance by not killing animals I find cute to satisfy non-existent primitive caveman urges.
What difference does that make? Do you feel all Canadians should think alike? Or do you think no Canadian could possibly be an idiot? Slight suggestion that Canadians are a "master race" perhaps (or master nation, I guess)?
Yeah, call me when she cavorts with the cannibals too will ya? Also, lets have some respect for the Indian caste system while we're at it. Those are some endangered people right there. Entire livelihoods being destroyed, I tells ya!
Protip right back at ya: Humans got out of the caves and invented food technology some thousands of years ago. You have better stuff to do with your time and brains than play pretend Tarzan.
While I don't condone animal cruelty, I don't much care for "mother nature" and its mindlessness either.
Yeah right, they hunt and eat seal hearts out of "necessity" as per m.ducharme, but they would really not prefer to have a Panera Bread restaurant next door. Cause you know, the real estate prices would really drop then! And all that free time from not living at a subsistence level, that would be just the worst thing possible for society right? And really, who needs time to think or create when you can be out killing stuff?
I'm sorry. If she's been through all that and still is stupid enough to pull that seal heart stunt, yeah she deserves that epitaph.
William Fucking Shatner at the very least inspired 2 or 3 generations of kids around the world to look at the stars and dream of achieving great things.
Yes, in fact I do. It was a pointless and barbaric public stunt.
Just because people are "indigenous" doesn't suddenly make them saints or angels or beyond reproach.
How about enabling them to move into the real world? Education and the like? Set up a Panera Bread or something? Oh wait.. not newsworthy enough. Lets keep the "indigenous" where they are! Dependent on handouts and and always on display for a pitying public in the yearly photo ops.

Are you kidding? No shots yet, but how about an attempted stabbing with an axe and another plot to assassinate let alone bounties and death threats?

Maybe the return rate was low because people wanted to check out the software fix they announced early on?

Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom. This makes me very angry, very angry indeed.
Wow, the high priesthood of science. A couple of centuries is all we had eh? I guess it's back to the dark ages now.

Yeah, obviously America is at the peak of perfection and cannot be improved further.

About half a billion humans would disagree with you and dispute the "carnivore" label. And I think they're getting by just fine.

"Michelle Jean... was a person that could be looked up to for her journey through life and her efforts to support those less fortunate"
By eating raw seal hearts? Yeah real classy.
