  1. Of course not.
    Trump will make the Aliens pay for it, as surely as Mexico will pay for the wall.

    If I were an Alien in charge of designing a close reconnaissance of Earth, I could not have planned a better trajectory than this.
    Perhaps A/2017 U1's mothership will rendezvous just outside the oort cloud.

    our announcements were for future modules, which will not be gpl2. the acused told everyone they would be criminals by being our clients because we would release the new modules as gpl2, which we won't. hence he is disrupting our business. "

    GRS does not have the right to release future modules that are not GPL2.
    That's the whole point of friction in this issue.

    And your point is... what exactly?

    His shtick is funny and has more truth in it than O'Reilly/GB's festering mouth(s) could ever dream of.

    Festering mouths? Really? Why the hatred?

    Festering mouth is right, and its not hatred. Any Projection is on your part.
    If I see someone walking around with a festering wound for a mouth I don't hate them, but I sure am concerned that something dangerously ungood is happening.

    Forget typing, why bother even remembering passwords? I'm surprised people still mess with those things.

  9. Re:Is YouTube really an appropriate platform? on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 1

    Darwin took certain points from the array of facts like genetic mutation, adaptation, variation and expression, the facts that it is possible and observed that subsets of species can mutate and survive and thrive, and he mixed in observations like hybrid sterility and survival of the fittest, and published a theory involving Natural Selection as "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". You can read the paper here.
    Darwin tried to explain how and why Evolution actually occurs; the fact that evolution can and does occur should be considered as basic as the fact that gravity, energy and time exist.
    If you've got an alternative theory about how and why evolution occurs, and whether or not it has any bearing or importance upon our past or future, then present that. But don't run around saying that nothing can mutate, that mutations can't adapt, that species can't have variations, that genetics is a fixed, static state, which is what one says every time one proclaims that evolution is only a theory.

  10. Re:Is YouTube really an appropriate platform? on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can we please stop saying that a rational person can somehow not believe in evolution?
    The Fact that Evolution occurs is not the same thing as Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
    An intelligent, rational person may well not agree with Darwin, but anyone who runs around saying that there is no evolution, that it's all just a theory, is really too unintelligent to take seriously.

    So, obviously, we want to weed out those candidates for whom science is just another kind of voodoo.
    Whether you believe in God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Absolutely Nothing, does anybody really want someone that backward in public office?
