This Myth? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_(series) Yeah i can see how that wouldn't be much fun if you just clicked on random things and watched what happened. That'd be like saying chess would be a lot easier if you just flung the pieces at each other.
Say what? You claim all or many edible plant have a common ancestor? Well, if you go back far enough... But measured against the existence of Homo Sapiens that's just bollocks. Some suggested literature on the origins of edible plants:
Yeah, 'cause the unedited video had much more of a sitcom feeling. What with the laughing and the good times edited out, it almost seemed like bloody murder.
"A journalist is (mostly) unbiased". Hahahaha bloody ha. Surely you jest. As Lyndon B. Johnson once lamented, "If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read PRESIDENT CAN'T SWIM."
Fascinating. How would you combine "There is no greater authority than yourself" http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=0XRPgLZU12g&gl=US, a basic tenet of my brand of anarchism, and say "I am born free and no man is my Lord", with "Yes, God is the ultimate Authority" and sheepishly kneeling to an invisible master?
I see you have a moral imperative in this matter, you other post's on this matter where also quite vehement if I remember correctly. I think a more reasonable course would be to not choose between two evils but to condemn both? You do see you're defending torture because you think rape is worse?
There is no truth, there is only perception. Believe nothing, question everything. Teach questions, not answers. Solutions aren't the problem.

What if there were a single cause for many of the world's ills in both the social and personal spheres, from overpopulation, ecological destruction, ethnic violence and hatred, to addictions, conflicts between the sexes, the breakdown of the family, and even why it feels good to be bad? Sound too simplistic or far-fetched? A core underlying cause of all these problems is hidden authoritarianism. Buying into, communism, spiritual cults, organized religion, UFO cults, therapy cults, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Hitler or other authority beliefs where there is an unchallengeable book, ideology or leader generates self mistrust. It makes a person feel fundamentally mentally flawed. It causes you to look at evidence, logic, reason and what your mind would say is true, as garbage, you can not trust in, if it doesn't fit, the authority belief you bought into. These authority beliefs are social viruses that, like a computer virus, makes our basic human operating system dysfunctional. Just as a computer operating system controls how the parts work together, they say, moral codes provide the operating system both for self-control and social interaction. When the operating system is faulty, this produces distortions and malfunctions at all levels. As with computers, unmasking and decoding a virus allows one to disempower it. Buying into any religion does away with trust in your own mind and does away with uncorrupted critical thinking. Buying into an authority belief makes you a mental vegetable. The answer is to have courage enough to think for yourself.
Anonymous Coward's frustrations with his dysfunctional family were complicated by abuse of amphetamines and health issues including headaches that he reported in one of his final notes as "tremendous." A glioblastoma, which is a highly cancerous brain tumor, was discovered during autopsy that experts on the "Cowards Commission" claimed may have conceivably played a role in causing his actions. He was also affected by a court martial as a United States Marine, failings as a student at the University of Texas, ambitious personal expectations and psychotic features he expressed in his slashdot post.
An entire industry filled with employees who wish they had another job, devoted to calling people who don't want to be called in order to offer them products they don't want to buy.
This really reminds me of the Jack Vance short story, "The Sub-Standard Sardines".
Traditional fishing is almost obsolete, but for different reasons.
Our oceans are not yet empty but the signs are not good. The seas have always been humanity's single largest source of protein, but for the first time in history this critical food supply is at risk in many areas. Despite an ever-intensifying fishing effort, the global catch appears to have reached its limit while the demand for seafood continues to grow.
According to the FAO, 15 of the world's 17 major ocean fisheries are already depleted or over-exploited. These trends are even more troubling when population growth is considered. The world population - now at six billion - will continue to grow by over 60 million people per year, with nearly half this growth in areas within 100 kilometers of a coastline. Over one billion people in Asia already depend on ocean fish for their entire supply of protein, as does 1 out of every 5 Africans. Although North America and Europe rely less on ocean-caught protein, much of the seafood consumed on both continents is imported from developing countries. The entire world shares an interest in restoring and maintaining this critical food supply. Empty Oceans, Empty Nets

A common mistake.
I suggest you take some drugs.
Maybe we should build an army of Chuck Norris clones off-planet just in case of Big Dog becoming self-aware, Chancellor?

Nice. If you haven't read it already I strongly recommend Umberto Eco's book "Foucault's Pendulum".

What's an Idaho?
Does it go "whoosh" when hit by a molotov cocktail?
There's no such thing as "Hitlers grave", the allies made damn sure of that.
They where afraid it might turn into a shrine for die-hard Nazi's.

So long and thanks for all the robot fish?
Yeah, the "afterthought" turned out somewhat long.
Reverse the order and put a "ps" before the first sentence to clear things up ; ).
