Didn't they jail a meteorologist in Brazil for a missed-forecast? He said it was going to rain at a big soccer match or something, and it didn't. And wasn't there that Italian geologist who missed forecasting an earthquake?
Free nuts in the back, potential AC savings from the oaks out front, increased property value--sounds like they are paying their rent! I'll just ignore that idiotic AC.
Mass murders and serial killers are also rare--more rare then radical enviros. We worry plenty about them, though the radical enviros can ultimately kill more people that the odd mass murderer.
matrix of processed sawdust? That's WW2 technology: Pykrete. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pykrete) It can also sequester that other pesky global warming gas, water vapour.
Which native people should we give it back to? The "first nations" had this nasty habit of slaughtering/conquering each other. Kinda like people did everywhere. Hawaiian tribes had the same habit. Shouldn't the "sovereign nation of Hawaii" also give the land back to the previous tribes they conquered?
Yep, one or two trips to the guillotine, and the rest will start...fleeing your country and taking what they can with them. For an example, see Venezuela.
Well, to be fair many of the alt left wear Che Guerra (sp) T-shirts, have Mao tattoos (or put Mao ornaments on the White House Christ^h^h^h^h^h^hWinter Tree, and so on.
Right. No way a bunch of illiterate Afghans could hold out against the military might of the USSR until the USA got the nerve to help out. Yep, no way at all. (Repeat for a multitude of other insurgencies.) Just because you have Great Might doesn't mean you win.
Look up "Home Invasion". They don't care if you're armed or not, they're going to take you out, maybe kill you. Sometimes being armed is your only chance. Multiple examples , google is your friend.
Or paper targets. or clay pigeons. or display (some are quite fancy). Guns designed for strictly those purposes can get quite pricey in fact. Can't say that any gun I ever owned has every pierced flesh. take that back--I had a finger in the wrong spot, and the slide did pierce flesh. Stupid mistake on my part. By the way, a box cutter took out nearly 3000 people back in the early 2000's-you may have heard about it. How many others have been killed with acetone and peroxide? It ain't what it's designed for, it's how it's used.
By the same reasoning, requiring you to document every utterance and register it with the govt doesn't infringe anything, except maybe convenience. We promise we won't go after you for inappropriate speech.
Folks do a lot of "expensive, frivolous exercises". Examples include the so called "star wars I-III". I'm sure you can think of more (depending on your political leanings and/or belief systems). If you do it once (and it goes extinct again), that means the process is likely repeatable...whenever you get the addressed try again. Meanwhile you know what you need to do/not do for other species that may not make it. Sorry, but unless it's something like the Rocky Mt Locust (or whatever it's called--the one we accidentally plowed up and knocked off the species), I don't see the harm--if necessary, kill and eat that mammoth.
If we are just another critter, then there is no difference than a human making a nuke power plant and a beaver making a beaver dam. (And 'nature' made it's own nuke plant somewhere in Africa, I believe--too lazy to look up the location)
That quote is actually true, and supported by multiple comments on this site. It's much easier for something like camel/needle to happen then someone who is rich and "happy" in their status to give up anything to help others/give oneself to a cause--Christianity or anything. If you read the quote in context that meaning will become obvious to anyone with an ability in reading comprehension. Same for other quotes in other religions.
I know this isn't the current "consensus", but how is inhaling (any) smoke more safer then aspirin? This canard sounds like the same propaganda that Phillip Morris used.

I've heard lego and LSD can make an Excellent skyscraper...

Excuse me: Mud comes from wetlands. Your mud huts are destroying the planet!
Didn't you get a chance to do a "volcano" as an science experiment in elementary school?

And when the Germans/French/English/etc return the land back to the Roman Empire.. (and thence to the Etruscans/sammites/etc)
Kindle can "burn" your copy if they decide to do so (at least if you're still connected to the internet)
So if a liberal resists changing the liberal status quo (one example: affirmative action) that makes the liberal a conservative?

Agree with this, but using present tense in your third paragraph would be more accurate...Citation needed? go to any news site and read the headlines.

Don't you think you're being a little extreme?

Yeah, it's called aluminum foil. See a lot of it up in AK.

And we're seeing how that CA supertrain is doing. My money is on the rocket going to Mars before the train makes it anywhere near Los Angeles.
