To me a moderate is just someone with normative, but mixed views..which pretty much covers a huge swath of sane people. It scares me how many people proudly self-identify with one party or another. The scale between left and right is a continuum, and anyone who sees it as binary needs to stay the fuck away from me.
That's basically what I was getting at.
Non-normative views don't really sit on that scale, so with some people it's kind of hard to say I suppose...
"Chemtrails are mind control" is definitely hard to call left or right.
My view of political beliefs is basically you're core/standard stuff which does fall onto the left/right continuum nice and neatly with a few weird views thrown in. I think that's a pretty accurate summation of like 99% of people out there.
Neutral is not the same as "NO DONT TAKE THE POOP OUT OF OUR WATER!" I was under the impression that the people "found it too unpleasent" not because they were mad about an inability to poop in the well, but because they had to accept that they were drinking feces for the theory to be correct.
Imagine if you were told you had to stop pooping in the toilet because it was migrating to your dinner table, and adding all kinds of fun diseases to your food. Just say hypothetically that there was a scientific paper on the matter by some random scientist. Like he says he discovered some new form of magnetism that migrates it right to your plate. Number one it would sound pretty outlandish, so I probably wouldn't want to. Number two I wouldn't want to because stopping (or accepting it) would mean that I've been eating poop-food (sorry the word poop is just too grinworthy to resist) for years.
It would be unpleasant to accept, but not because I love pooping in my toilet...because I would be accepting that I've been eating my waste.
Bath salts are awful awful stuff...cathinones shouldn't be consumed by humans..ever. If it came down to whether or not I want my neighbor on some borderline-unknown cathinone salt (many of these "manufacturers" experiment) or doing rails of adderall..it's not a hard decision. Neither scenario is good, but one is significantly worse.
However the drug test showed he had nothing but bud in his system. I think just about everyone can agree that the pot
And (I think google it yourself) the son of sam killer...whoever the guy who's dog was telling him to kill people..got caught because he was smoking a blunt in his car. So cannabis has done some good things too.
"Maybe we should update our privacy laws and stop allowing companies and the government to store all this information about us in shitty databases to begin with."
Or maybe we should come to the realization that privacy laws don't work in any context, and get rid of these types of database except when absolutely necessary. Much more importantly do not allow access to any of these any super-duper ultra absolutely necessary.
I'm pretty certain that CO2 and water does not equal a carboxylic acid. Is there some other reaction going on in the acidification scenario? I'm assuming there is validity to it, but I'm curious as to what mechanism causes it.
Because no one can have a discussion without an agenda. People like you disgust me more than any denyer, creationist, republican, liberal, naturalist (okay maybe that's a bit too far), or politician ever could.
What is with the paranoia about everyone having an agenda around here? Just have a fucking discussion. The chances of you ACTUALLY talking to a shill, or someone in that vain is pretty slim. To use the medical industries phrase:
"If you hear hoof beats think horses..not zebras."
If someone says something you don't agree with either assume A) They just think their right or B) They're possibly really dumb. Using my patented system you can make your life much easier, now with 40% less aneurisms.
Do you buy food from the grocery store? Better cut that shit out because fossil fuels transported and/or harvested it. Enabling you to live in your nice suburban comfort.
Do you drive a car? Ride in a car? Ride in a bus? Better cut that shit out too.
Do you live in a house? Sorry some of that machinery was powered by fossil fuels.
I know you use electricity, but isn't most of it (at least in the US) made by *gasp* fossil fuels?
If there is a problem you're a part of it as much as any of us. Keep your hypocritical (and possibly troll) shit to yourself. You're judging people for carbon-based fuels while using a machine that most likely is being powered by carbon-based fuels. Is self reflection just not a thing today?
"What the living fuck is carbon dioxide made of? Do you think the oxygen is the problem? Because it sure as shit isn't."
OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED HYDROGEN CYANIDE HAS NITROGEN IN IT! AND HYDROGEN!?!?!?
Clearly since HCN contains nitrogen and hydrogen those 2 are dangerous, and should be avoided at all cost. Please you specifically, for your safety, please avoid any further contact with anything containing the 2.
This is a stupid discussion, but the constituent elements in a molecule individually (the combination obviously does) have very little impact on the properties of said compound. This is the one and only point I am stating/making. Please don't read between any lines.
Exactly! The military has lobbyists to lobby for increased funds, but that's kind of their job. It is congresses job to decide whether or not the increase is reasonable..which they aren't very good at.
At least here loading a public bus is maybe 18-45 seconds every 20 minutes...does it really matter who uses it the other massive % of the time.
They are basically going green and getting bitched at. This bus stop issue is just an excuse to complain about people a bit (and make no mistake in this case its "a bit") more money. Envy and egocentricity is a stinky cologne.
Wow this probably is the worst place you could possibly advertise your stupid shit service. Enjoy getting DDoSd by the lurking blackhats that are most assuredly here.
Also why is slashdot's filtering so, so bad. First the hosts guy and now this.
I actually think this is a good question! At the very least I would love to be asked this. You could glean a lot of genuinely important information from that answer.
I wouldn't say ornery during an interview here in Texas. They'll think your a redneck, because that's one of their favorite words. Rednecks get the shaft when it comes to the tech industry. I do find a light touch of the accent helps my rapport though.

Sorry I ran out of superlatives.
Weird I always thought slashdot was mostly liberal with a bunch of moderates and a handful of republicans thrown in.
No oil barren wants to lose their oil...you're dead on.

I don't think anyone has ever been of the opinion that having poop in their water is good...sorry.
Plankton in the ocean actually produces the majority of the oxygen from CO2 IIRC.
Too bad we are killing our oceans even faster...

"You lords and masters the corporation"
Yup that's about all I needed to read.
"Firearm usage"..pretty sure that means nitrocellulose and ng even if its smokeless...still puts off nitrate salts

I sincerely find this amazing.
Don't pimp your shit here please.
Holy shit we have a new argument in the IP debate! IP laws cause IP theft it's fucking bulletproof!
Really though this is an instance of IP laws causing IP theft which is just...deliciously ironic.
