  1. Re:Radicalization on Gaza's Only Power Plant Knocked Offline · · Score: 2

    Gaza certainly was not "occupied" until a few days ago.

    I'm sure terrorist-smuggling tunnels and rocket attacks had nothing to do with that.

    "No sir, I did not incite genocide. I merely filled the streets with a quote by a dead person who happened to incite genocide."

    If you don't realize just how idiotic that statement is, I recommend you shut up and stop making a fool out of yourself.

    Oh right - I nearly forgot the edit war they started on wikipedia, so that the article would match Russia's wild (there's no other word for it) claim that a SU-25 was at the same altitude as a 777 in cruise.

    Almost as outrageous as "Ukrainian government forces smuggled a Buk deep into rebel-held territory; used it to shoot down the 777 that was abducted doing flight MH370 and had been filled with dead bodies, flyign on autopilot; and smuggled the Buk right out of there."

    This is some of the drivel being spread around by conspiracy theorists, russian shills and russian conspiracy theorist shills.

    Well, the morons at the crash site were drunk enough for that to make it to the investigators' reports.

    A Becquerel-hour should be good enough to quantify most non-acute exposures.

    I do agree on the alpha vs. gamma point, though.

    It's not like their denials were ever worth anything.

    Putin denied having a single Russian operative in Crimea... until after the annexation, when he admitted that was a lie.

    Given all the evidence of Russian involvement, denials are pure soviet-style bullshit.

    The car's systems are advanced enough to force a controlled deceleration while maninting everything else (they might want to disable the infotainment, no point in giving the thief access to that...).

    There is no straw man, if anything it's AmiMoJo who introduced one.

    Nobody was discussing an "imaginary, fearful hoard of idiots". The discussion was about a very specific group of people, who was then identified with a larger group that acts in a similar way.

    You're the one pulling the straw man here.

    The question was about the apparent paradox of the two cases mentioned.

    For some reason, fear of the radiation boogeyman is greater than their confidence in their interpretation of their faith.

    Before I'm accused of calling every religious person an ignorant, allow me to add that religion is only one of many possible sources of ignorance (probably none of them guarantee ignorance either) - however, it is a very visible correlation.

    The only thing ignorant people fear more than science in general is "radiation". The reasons for the quotation marks would make for a very long rant about ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation and their complete ignorance of what is actually going on.

    Yeah, like long-distance questioning is the norm. It's probably less bureaucratic to just drag him over Sweden.

    Add to that the fact that they probably considered he posed a high risk of fleeing to some third world country (which he did, in a way)...
