Great counterpoint! I didn't personally see any Iraqi WMD sites so I should shut the fuck up?
I did however see Hans visiting bombed out storage facilities filled with some of the EMPTY chemical weapon shells that were "missing" that had been sitting there in bombed out facilites untouched since 1991.
Horseshit, we KNEW he didn't have WMD because all of these issues were known at the time. It wasn't a revelation that Saddam's foreign policy involved faking having WMDs to scare off Iran. We had inspectors on the ground and everywhere they looked they found jack squat. About the only things we couldn't account for were chemical and biological weapons that had expired YEARS before the invasion.
We also had publicly available empirical evidence that what was being fed to the public was fake information. The notion that there was any *real* doubt is HORSESHIT. Oh, there was plenty of artificially-produced doubt. The only people who didn't know this was a bullshit invasion were those who didn't follow foreign affairs closely.
Joe Wilson, Italian intelligence, yellow cake, the Downing Street Memos, aluminum tubes, Hans Blick [sic], Judith Miller, etc. The history rewrite has always been the attempt to pretend that there was ambiguity.
it would probably be even worse. BS propaganda stories fly even FASTER since there isn't a mainstream media response to them. Do any of you get those bogus "conservative schools some maxism liberal" emails from friends? Most of them don't take more than a couple google searches to discredit timelines and quotes, but that doesn't stop them from spreading.
People are NOT more informed in the age of social media just as the flood of cable news outlets didn't lead to more high quality news coverage.
You know, when Voyager clangs off a giant glass shell with star lightbulbs screwed into it. NASA's going to be pissed, but I bet I'll get $80 out of it!
I'd like to see a good diagram of what its general path was and where it is now in relation to other planet orbits if anyone knows where I can find one.
Did you read my post or just respond to the first sentence? Hell their cars could be fusion powered. That had no bearing on how my rights are infringed. Being able to xray scan my house does if that tech ever evolves.
And, you're wrong because courts have already ruled that the ease of use of technology affects how much access law enforcement has to it. Sticking a GPS unit on my car is illegal without a warrant, but tailing me with a detective is not.
My two cousins, raised by an aunt who didn't prioritize education, couldn't read at that age either. One is an A student in college, the other was a C student but he at least made it through a 1 year motorcycle mechanic curriculum. I don't have any stats on early reading, but I don't imagine it matters much after a few years (assuming that you're getting a good education).
That's because the effort required limits use of those technologies. All of our privacy laws and court rulings are based on contemporaneous limits of technology. Remember when police figured out a way to scan the interiors of houses with heat sensors to find pot growers? Law enforcement isn't going to deploy 24-7 helicopter surveillance, but with drones that becomes a distinct possibility.
Where's that energy currently coming from? I know nothing about desalination, but maybe better filters allow for purely gravity-fed tanks rather than some pressurized or multi-passed treatment system?
I've seen this one on SyFy. The scientists accidentally mix in their DNA with the pigeon DNA and we get a ruthless bird-beast that kills with bird-flu contaminated venom. Starring that guy in that show you used to watch 15 years ago and a hot 22 year old wannabe actress the producer is fucking.
He was on TV as a corporate expert on what we could do to deal with the remarkable rate of job losses at the peak of the Recession. His ingenious solution was to increase H1B visas. That's just the mentality of the people in power and the people with access to their ear holes.
I calculated the costs of buying a really nice elliptical, bench, plates, and dumb bells and found that I'd make up the costs of a gym membership in 3 years; and that was not counting miles on my car, gas to commute, and the convenience of being able to work out at any time of the day. Gym memberships are for people:
* Primarily motivated to work out by external factors; getting to check out gym hotties, need a trainer to push you, etc. * Don't have the money for the up front expense of equipment * Don't have the space for equipment * Have an extremely advanced routine where home equipment won't suit your needs.

I read the same thing and I have no clue why. One of these strange sentence illusions.
Shredder was the bad guy wasn't he...
Last seen training irradiated juvenile turtles to kick ass with medieval Japanese weaponry.

The largest protests in the history of the planet occurred during the run-up to the Iraq invasion.

You stop paying these administrators 6-digit salaries and you get 5-digit quality administrators.

Are you done yet? My mouth is tired.
Can we just sleep tonight?
Ewww, the trash really stinks!
Will come in here and kill this?
I couldn't reproduce the error, so I'm closing this ticket.

The way textbook sales are handled has to be some kind of extortion violation.
My point is that it's not just the pure energy input. The mode will have an inherent efficiency.
Holy shit I WAS making that up!

STFU Bill.
