  1. Re:no better than placebo??? on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The placebo itself is not effective - it's the "lie" that is effective.

  2. Re:I'm mad at him on Cody Wilson Wants To Help You Make a Gun · · Score: 2

    We weren't talking about the legality or the rights, we were talking about you being so scared you need to surround yourself with guns.

    Way to put up a strawman to deflect from the fact that you just got served.

    If we all just pretend the bear is not rabid, it will go away.

    Whoosh.

    True, but then again, nothing quite equals Ween.

    I'm already calling 'em ULCs.

  7. Re:Conventional weapons? on Schneier: Either Everyone Is Cyber-secure Or No One Is · · Score: 2

    Taking advantage of broken infrastructure (weakened crypto, for example) is easy. Creating and maintaining ICBM technology is not.

    Are you actually serious?

  9. Nixon started it, actually.

  10. Re:iPad too fucking expensive on L.A. School Superintendent Folds on Laptops-For-Kids Program · · Score: 2

    No, it doesn't. It's 2015; parents today have always lived in a world where pensions and lifetime employment were a thing of the past.

    It doesn't require superior intellect to understand that each child you produce will cost you about a quarter of a million dollars to raise. I'm of average intelligence I guess, but I'm well aware that I don't have that kind of scratch, or the time to do it properly. It's simple math, kids. This nonsense about "haves" and "have-nots" is going to be a problem for you one day. I'm not saying it's fair, but life is not fair. If you don't understand that yet, your parents and your teachers have failed you.

  12. Re:iPad too fucking expensive on L.A. School Superintendent Folds on Laptops-For-Kids Program · · Score: 0

    While it's true that many parents made piss poor decisions in life (like having children they cannot properly raise), it's irrelevant to this topic.

    That's it's going to save humanity.

    This is beginning to sound eerily reminiscent of the claims made regarding hemp. Let's dial it back a notch or two, shall we?

  15. Re:just ban it on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    They do have the "right" to intermingle with the public. Your belief that you somehow have a "right" not be offended, by smells or otherwise, is simply insane.

  16. Re:just ban it on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    A bit melodramatic.

  17. Easy fix. on Unearthing Fraud In Medical Trials · · Score: 2

    The FDA probably just doesn't have enough women.

    By "Obama Phone" I assume you mean the Lifeline Assistance program, which was put in place long before Obama took office. In fact, it was instituted under none other than Ronald Reagan.

    I have an uncle like you., and it's depressing.

    Hate to pick nits here, but OP can obviously read and write. Your gripe is more with grammatical proficiency.

    The fact that you can only say it while screaming in pain kinda underscores the point.
