    reasonable engineering and physics make it entirely possible for a construction in orbit to be able to capture low orbit junk, compress it and then jettison in a trajectory that would take it to the sun if provided enough energy to escape the Earth's gravity and get picked up by the sun's.

    I dont care if they use it or not. But at least this move by google allows people that AREN'T in the censored country to get to the content naturally instead of the content being removed.

    It's our job, as the informed persons, to broadcast the reality to those who don't know. If we do not, then we have failed in our civic duty and Robert Heinlein would be a sad panda.

    To be candid, I am not an inhumane person, but at the same time, we spend a massive amount of money keeping people alive when natural selection says they shouldn't be.

    However, if we are going to do it, we need to make it as reasonable as possible and the current medical system is not doing that.

    One question, after the assistance program, how much is it costing you per month now?

    So ($294,000 * .20)*.70 = $41,160... That's what's left even after your co-pay and the drug company's assistance. That's still far out of reach for a hell of alot of people. We're talking about a single drug, this isn't including all the regular doctor's bills these people are paying as well.

    For some reason, people in this country think the system works the way it is...I could pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars that i don't even have to keep someone alive, or i can go to jail for negligence or even murder if I just let them die...

    And, yes. I would try to get the votes of the larger groups as a priority. This is why all presidential candidates are "Christian."

    That depends on who you ask, there are a tone of nutjobs out there (Hi FOX News) that still believe Obama is a Muslim.

    Your team is only as good as the weakest member of your team. There are a lot of guys out there that could probably make it if we trimmed 10 seconds off of the qualification tests, but in reality, those 10 seconds can make the difference in being seen by the enemy, making your extraction, arriving on time to a target or escaping a hail of gunfire / mortar fire. You want the best doing the things that others just can't physically do with the operative word being "best".

    There are reasons why there are as few SEAL/Rangers/Green Berets/Delta/ParaRescue/Combat Controllers as there are, it's fucking hard to earn this designations. Most people can't earn them, ever. So trying to find an additional 500+ people to fill those roles would mean you need to relax standards. That's not happening.

    The same shit was said early in the 20th century as well. American citizens didn't want the unwashed masses of Italians, Greeks, Irish, Scots and Chinese coming here either. Guess what, they did, and they are your ancestors too. Could we handle 300 million people coming here? No, not all at once. Could we handle more than what we do allow in? Yes.
