Gregor Mendel probably wasn't burned or anything because he didn't critisize any church laws or anything. All he did was breed pea plants. They didn't burn EVERYONE.
Could a 767 withstand a F-16? SAM missiles? Considering that the plan was to build the base in the middle of the pacific, security shouln't be too much trouble. I'm sure the US can spare some carriers or battleships or something, and if they don't, I'm sure they'd love to build more.
IANABiologist, but I seem to recall that they can be harvested from umbilical cords or embryos that are already dead(you could say that violates the sectity of their body, but that's a matter of opinion.)
They don't need to put it in adult swim, it would be fine as a regular show. I mean, it's a whole level above nickelodeon's normal crap, but it doesn't need to be designated 'adult'.

Pokemon doesn't really prove anime is actually mainstream, just that the general public has heard of "them japanimation thingies". I don't really think that counts. It is also worth noting that pokemon became popular because it fits America's general notion of animation. For anime to accually be mainstream it will have to escape both the American image of animation and the image of anime as hyperviolent porn. Not impossible, but pokemon and a few music videos can't do it alone.
Don't define a group by it's most extreme element. As someone said on another article a few days ago, there are 2 basic kinds of environmentalists: the scientific group who simply want to avoid mass extinction, and the hippy (or liberal arts, as they put it) group who is generaly opposed to anything that isn't cute and fuzzy.
>...adding a paltry 50MHz to our gigahertz+ processors...
Think of those less fortunate. I want to add 800MHz to my 200MHz processor, which is a bit more reasonable. And that would make me feel happy inside as a person.
Accually, it still would have a decent value. Gold has 2 usefull properties: it doesn't rust, and it is very soft. In other words, people would still make jewelry out of it, even if they weren't worth as much.

Wow, you actually sounded stipider than he did.
There aren't THAT many turkey guts.

How exactly does building things with taxpayer money and then giving them to some random company factor into capitalism?
the flag moved... because there was a metal stick in it.
the astronauts were visible in the ship's shadow... because the lunar surface reflects light.
the stars weren't visible... bacause they were too faint compared to everything else.
there was no crater... bacause the rocket was not very powerful, and there was no air to carry a shock wave.
How would a conspiracy factor into this?
The problem with satire is that it's very hard to find something so stupid no one would say it.
...issues like 'global warming' are an excellent excuse to campaign for what they're really after.
Today, tighter emmissions standards, tommorow.. the world!
>>what breaks the CFCs down so that the chlorine can react with ozone?
That would be UV rays.
:if it rains in zimbabwe 5 years from now who cares...
No, you see, the theory is that Zimbabwe will be a DESERT 5 years from now.

You mean as opposed to a right-leaning, technophobic, nanny state with massive budget cuts and deficit spending to pay for the government handouts?
:Ok, now that you have dehumanized it by mockery does that make it less human? I think not.
No it doesn't, but two cells aren't neccessarily a human yet.

Really? That hadn't occurred to me!
:You are setting up an arbitrary age at which human life becomes valuable
As does everyone else. There is no standard, accepted opinion on where life begins.

Bah. I can top that. The EXACT lines are:
Homer: "See I got this freind named Joey Joe Joe Junior... Shabadoo..."
Moe: "That's the worst name I ever heard."
You mean test the sheild while turning large, known junk into faster, smaller, unknown junk.
:3. They couldn't easily be hijacked to make a nasty weapon
How would they get there? Hijacking the space shuttle?

Tony Hawk is good, but NHL hitz is good too. Getting into fights for fun and profit. You can wipe out 4 people in one game!
